Add your own “So thats” from the struggles you are now encountering.
Any one of the “So thats” is a topic unto itself. When expanded, the topic will be seen and understood at the level of maturity of the reader. For fun, Try to see what it would look like at each maturity level. You may get stuck. But, not to worry; as you mature, you will see it!! This is what I find fascinating! I find myself maturing before my very eyes! You will then be able to “teach” it by example and word to an infant, a child, an adult, a parent, and share it with an elder!! Caution; Don’t try to teach verbally too far ahead of the maturity level of those you are teaching or they will get overwhelmed and retreat or create a wall. Jesus held little children on His knee and taught His disciples differently than others. He had different levels of discussions with those “in the know”. (Nicodemus)
