On Tuesday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, author Russ Gehrlein talks about a developmental need and a theological need for high school graduates to move out on their own and begin adulting. One of a parent's hardest jobs is to prepare to let go of their child, knowing they are God's children, not just theirs. When the son or daughter is out of high school and able to go to college or work, it allows them to depend on the Lord to guide them and provide for them. Russ says, "God gives us our children, but a mere 18 years later, he takes them away so they can go out and do bigger and better things for his Kingdom."
