Parenting.. Faith.. Public.. GAH!

Public school
Going to Church
going to friends or families houses for the weekend.. 

it's a hard balance! 

do the friends or family members have beliefs? 
what happens if and when they miss church? 
is church helpful for them? 

do I talk too much about my beliefs and my faith? 

one of them rolls their eyes when I reference things to scripture (you know I don't believe in that, mom). okay? that doesn't mean I'm not going to talk about it. 

one of them listens because she believes God is real. 

the other one isn't sure, so she's just trying to keep an open mind, listen and think of what is real. 

I get that! I get all of that!
But it makes me anxious, being a mom, and not knowing what the future holds sometimes. 
I just don't want to see them decide to walk about from it because of something they don't understand, and not be open to conversations. 

There's way too much that looks "good" these days... and it makes me feel sick.
