Your daughter might need this...

The following is an excerpt from a larger article found HERE. I write a lot of stuff. Some is more important than others... more urgent. This is one of the most important I’ve written because if someone is open to the words, it could help save a life or a soul:
“DEAR MOMS OF GIRLS...
We've been around the block a few times. We know things that our girls don't know. But our girls haven't lived in our shoes, haven't learned our lessons, and haven't undergone our conversions....
We cannot assume that they are equipped to weather the storms we are accustomed to withstanding.
We cannot assume that when they nod their heads in agreement with our maternal rants that they actually have a deep enough grasp of the truth or an unwavering relationship with Jesus Christ.
We can’t assume that their attachment to us is stronger than their attachment to someone else.
We have to be willing to go to the mat for them; to make ourselves a righteous nuisance about technology, defensive protocols, and constant instruction in the art of navigating the human condition.
I'm not going to sugarcoat this. Some of you think your girl is okay... and she's not.
God didn't allow me to wade through the sewage in my own life only to stay silent and watch other hearts, minds, and bodies assaulted by wickedness. Here is your warning and I give it with all the sisterly and motherly love in my feminine heart:
Evil hardly ever comes looking like a monster... but usually appearing like the deepest desires of our heart. We have to be prepared.
Evil slips through the cracks through our weaknesses and our pride. It finds our sorrows and our loneliness. It listens to our doubts and becomes the consolation and affirmation that we deeply desire.”
Dear Moms of boys...
This is for you, too. Let’s raise them right, interfere with them when they stray, oppose predatory behaviors in them, and...
Learn to recognize the patterns of abuse against them as well.
Break the silence. Restore the culture. Protect each other.
