Our middle child, Mikayla, joined me in our studio to share her
reflections on being raised in our home. While pursuing her
graduate degree at seminary, I asked her what she appreciated about
her childhood. Some of our questions were, "What would you mimic
about your childhood?" "What do you appreciate about your growing
up now that you did not appreciate when you were younger?" "Were
you socialized as a homeschooler?" "What would you tell your
younger self?"
If you are in the trenches of parenting at your house, take a
listen to this young adult's thoughts. From hanging upside down in
the trees in our back yard like a monkey, this former "curly girly"
is pursuing God's purpose for her life.
