“Hoosjim”, You explained it perfectly.


Well, I explained it the best I could considering my speech to text app $uck$, lol laugh

A final note on "confidence", in general, and let me preface this by saying that I am not generally one to proselytize, but I do think this is important to offer up given how helpful it has been to me:

My recollection is that you and your W were people of faith. If not, feel free to ignore (but hopefully at least thoughtfully consider) the following:


We are to some degree people of faith. I feel like that is where we failed and for our son's sake. The first 10 years of our marriage we attended church but not regularly. She grew up in a very spiritual household and she never missed a day of church while she was living at home. She has recently been involved more with exploring other viewpoints such as meditation, tao, yoga, and holistic beliefs to some degree in the past 8 years. I do believe going forward I must commit to a more Christian spiritual leadership and finding wisdom and healing in that avenue. This is what I feel drawn too, however she has been somewhat turned away from the Christian faith. She believes most southern baptist are spiritual due to fear and scare tactics preached from the alter. This is why we attended a non-denominational church for most of our marriage.

Her mother mentioned they dedicated her and their family to Jesus and that she will eventually have to return to the way she was raised. I do want to thank you for the encouragement and the scripture you have provided.
