Tonight's madness gone right.

So my neighbor asked me to watched her girls while she went to a meeting & since they're over everyday, I obviously didn't mind doing her the favor. But, when they got here all they kept doing was taking pictures with their smartphones, & I just asked them point plank. Are you taking them to post on instagram? They had a blank expression, and before they could respond I just said, I'm not dumb. I know you guys have instagram. (even though their mom forbids it) And so I let them know they can use my phone to log into their instagram, (just so I can keep an eye on their profiles) & they did. Then, they got to talking & one of the girls tells me that her and her friend is going to meet up some guy they met on the internet at the mall. (btw, this girl is 12 years old & my daughter is 11) So, I obviously freak out, and talk to them about the extreme dangers of it all, and that it may seem all fun and games now to meet up with some "so-called" famous guy but that they were actually putting their selves in a lot of danger. I talked to them about the dangers of fake accounts on social media to lure in little children, to kid nap them or worse... And it just amazed me how light hearted this girl was about everything. And with my daughter there listening, I made sure that I was clear that I would be telling their mom. And she responds, my mom already knows. ( imagine my expression ) And so the girls continue to look up guys profiles who are older with their shirts off, and pictures of them in bed. & I had to put my foot down, I said you know I am always here for you and at your age it's okay to have crushes on boys but it's another thing to bring pictures of half naked older guys in my home. And that they were going to have to stop. I said, we believe that God has hand picked someone for you and our daughter and you are hurting yourself by lusting after these guys who are only interested in sex and getting your attention. Long story short, I ended up talking to my daughter later after they left. & I talked to her about the importance of purity. Of guarding her heart, and that a simple tool like a smartphone can lead to too many temptations that Satan uses to lure her innocent heart in. And that God gave her parents to protect her. I mentioned how its hard to not be like her friends sometimes and to not be in the in crowd and not have a smartphone or instagram but that it was actually a blessing. To not have to be tempted and to focus on school and the life that God has made for her. The best part was her response. She said thank you for loving me. And we prayed together and she went to bed.  Every single day has felt like a battle being a mom, and most days I give up, and am hurt. And today when I thought she would say that I was lecturing her, she responded so differently. And I praise God for that.
