Yeah, I think there is kind of a "first one" that let's you know where you stand. Do you think that's misguided?
Not at all.... what I think is misguided is thinking that the "first one" is "the one".... especially so if we haven't given ourselves the time it takes to work through the confusion of the whole healing process.
Psa 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
