DUCK DYNASTY’s Korie Robertson: ‘Whatever Stage You Find Yourself in, God Is There’
By Movieguide® Contributor
DUCK DYNASTY’s Korie Robertson is reflecting on what it’s like to watch her children grow up and enter new phases of their lives in a touching Instagram post.
“This season of life is full of new chapters!” she captioned a photo of herself with son Willie. “Now that I have a few more years behind me, it seems like the end of your teens and early 20’s are full of really short chapters…new school, new semester, new city, new roomate, new friends, a new major, new apartment, new job, new city, perhaps marriage, another move, maybe kids…all of this happens in a relatively short period of your life. It’s kind of crazy actually!”
Her caption continued:
Watching ours experience these chapters of their life right now and they are whizzing by! I know though in the moment it doesn’t always feel this way. When you’re in the middle of it, it can feel long, never-ending even, the unknowing of what’s next, the uncertainty of the length of this chapter before you “get to” move on to the next can be unsettling.
As I have been thinking about this lately and praying about this for our own kids, I just want to encourage you to:
1-lay all of your worries, fears, questions, at God’s feet. Worrying doesn’t add a thing to your life. He is the one who has numbered your days, and HIS WAYS ways are so much better than ours!
2-Be PRESENT exactly where you are and be GRATEFUL for this moment. In whatever stage you find yourself, God is there. He will never leave you, and you certainly aren’t going to miss him…He’s everywhere, and He promises to be with you!
Trusting in Him, one day you will look back and see all of what you thought were detours, all of the chapters that were a struggle, that seemed long and full of the hard, were actually guidance, growth, learning, protection, maybe even gifts.
I’m getting to watch my kids do this and it’s the greatest blessing!
Robertson has endeavored to raise her children with a godly worldview, inspiring to seek the Lord in their own lives.
Movieguide® previously reported:
“Today on #athomewiththerobertsons we talk to Thea Trinidad who’s a professional wrestler and professional gamer about video games and their effect on children, teens, even adults,” Robertson wrote on her Instagram. “We discuss some of the boundaries @realwilliebosshog and I had in place in our home surrounding video games and whether or not @johnluke_robertson is going to let his kids play. I think the younger generation of parents will be better at guiding their kids in this than we were because they know what’s out there, what’s good and what’s not!”
Throughout the episode, the Robertsons note the responsibility of adults to protect children. However, the couple concedes that it is hard to keep up with the latest in gaming and media.
“Like everything right now, it feels like the world of gaming is changing so fast that it’s hard for parents to keep up!” Robertson wrote.
She then asked parents: “Do you have guidelines in place in your home surrounding gaming? Any thoughts, helpful ideas for other parents trying to figure this thing out in our ever-changing world?”
Robertson concluded by stressing the significance of parents’ involvement in their children’s lives.
“I think it really matters what we put into our hearts and minds on a daily basis, and this matters so much for our kids! We aren’t going to do it all perfectly, but having these discussions, asking the questions, being involved in this aspect of your kids and teens life is a really good start!” Robertson wrote.
