I watched Inside Out 2 with Oliver yesterday. It’s a portrayal of the competing emotions and feelings a teenage girl is going through as she grows up.

It’s a funny and poignant story of the challenges of growing up.

As a parent, it was a reminder of all the struggles the kids go through. The difficulties of managing emotions, friends, learning and growth.

I was reminded of how God must look at us. Knowing all of our thoughts and struggles, he roots for us to become the best version of ourselves possible.

He loves us through it all. The ups and downs. The good decisions and bad decisions.

And it’s a reminder that everyone we interact with everyday has their own internal struggles. Both big and small.

We have an opportunity to love them the same way. To show them that we are on their side.

Make it a great day.
