This . . .
Why is it so easy to get a rock in your sandal, but so hard to get it out?
.
That . . .
No matter what kind of cards you are dealt in life, you musn't assume the victory is won or lost, for unseen things can cause defeat when victory seems sure or victory when defeat seems imminent. You may hold the A, K, Q, J, and 10 of hearts, or a pair of two's, a six, and a joker, but there is pride right before a fall and/or His mercies are new every morning.
In light of great cards, we must remain humble, display meekness and retain a poor spirit or in other words, know our need of God . . . or the house of cards we are standing on may come tumbling down.
When we are dealt really bad cards, we must lean not to our own understanding, but trust in God in all our ways and He will guide our paths. Believe God's word, trust His promises and know that His plans for us are good.

Your post sounds encourging and hopeful. I hope that is how you feel. Keep pressing on, knowing that no matter what anyone else says, you are getting closer to God and trying to help others. I love your heart, Dad, and I will pray for you.

Your baby boy,

P.S. I thought that it was funny that the pair of two's hand only had four cards.
