To change things up a bit at Defying Shadows, we decided to highlight a post from each of our personal blogs to bring you there and let you learn a little more about us. I have two teenagers, one who is old enough to date. I wrote this post months ago and held it close, knowing that God would prompt me when the time was right to share it. The piece has had a robust response and readers have let me know they shared it with their daughters, granddaughters, and youth groups. I’m always thankful when my words can help and encourage.
Please click through to my blog Flying Blonde and read Teenage Dating: 10 Rules Before the First Date and feel free to leave me feedback and share the words if you feel so moved.
Be blessed,
