I'm more on the learning curve still, reading the Bible and the Life Applications Bible and learning how Scripture pertains to life

And it's a journey.

I still think I'm going through it.

I'm still understanding.

Totally.

And when I read it, like in my, you know, prayer book and my little devotional and stuff like that, it's like, wow, like it's still very, it hits me like, really?

Because I didn't have that kind of, I mean, my mom and dad loved me and I knew they did, but they were also tumultuous to divorce.

And my mom was busy, you know, working and my dad was busy doing his thing and they didn't instill that.

in me at all and i didn't i was mainly on my own my brother and sister and i as kids doing our raising ourselves it's essentially after a certain age so we we didn't have that we didn't feel it we went to church my mom would be like go to church but she didn't go and she went all through catholic school and all that but she would send us right it was like obligation

So then the love between you and God feels legalistic and not because there's love, you know, in a Catholic church or, you know, there's kids crying and distractions and you're standing up and sitting down and singing and I don't know these songs and you just took it as it like it was an obligation.

Right.

Until you really internalize it.

Yeah.

It's it's really powerful.

I don't know how people go through life without having their faith.

It's good.

I think he's been talking about it a lot more, and I think he feels it.

I think, you know, you have that setback.

Like, it's working really well.

I'm really believing that God's right by my side.
