[Faith-talk] turning point, serious thing going on. God help us.

Mon Feb 29 12:55:17 UTC 2016

Beth,

Don’t be hasty about it. I wish I knew more details so we knew why he was kicked out and if anything was done about it. Does she think you’re taking the relationship too fast? Why is she objecting?

Anyway, be careful. Don’t alienate his mother. There’s obviously a reason she’s doing this. I agree with Poppa Bear (imagine that) when he says to make sure God is in this, and not just your own desires. I’m not convinced of that by what you said, but I’m on the outside looking in with very few details, so I can just go based on what I’m given.

My wife and I more or less alienated her mother for a while, because she didn’t seem to approve of our relationship. Now that I look back, we made many stupid turns back then. Now everything is okay and her relationship with her mother is better.

But the parental tie is very important, so don’t let him just toss that away or make it mean nothing to him.

This guy is a lot like me, and for some strange reason, I know what we need. God has impressed upon me the desire to at least be as normal as possible, but who cares about normal. I don't think there's anything normal in this world. I've jumped through many trials, but this time, trials upon trials! But you know, Psalm 23 says, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for you are at my side." For real, I've walked through something worse than the shadow of death, and in a deep ravine but trust me, I even prayed about this before I tried to sleep. It was no use, but at least I was able to write up a document with an unofficial plan for what we're gonna do. If this situation calls for planning, I'm all over it. :)
