Support Please forgive me for my attitudes towards y'all.

All,

Our home is getting rocked by the polybomb and our newborn. We're running on three hours of sleep at best most nights and my wife is having a gamut of serious health issues. Some are probably as a result of the stress of even considering these things, whereas some are a result of post partum stuff.

Please don't read in this any excuse for my behavior, for these trials show what is in me as it makes its way out, and there's no excuse for acting uncharitably towards others. Rather, please read this in the spirit of meekness in which it was written and pray for us with greater specifity if you feel led to, as we've got five little ones to look after, too.

I have not treated all of you charitably in my interactions, which I also apologized for in a reply to my introductory post. Please receive my apology for Christ's sake, whom we all must look to for forgiveness ourselves. While I do stand by much of what I've written, I can't stand by the spirit in which I've written some things on this forum since joining it. I've repented of these sinful attitudes and am resolved to be more charitable in my interactions with the folks in this community by the grace of God.

Prayers would be most appreciated as my wife, myself and a fellow believer (and by extension her family) all remain in fervent prayer, waiting on the Lord to make at least the very next step that we can take in faith clear to all of us.

As for some of the accusations leveled against me, I'm certainly not Eastern Orthodox, and the last thing I want to do is look like a wolf to anyone. Maybe a sheepdog, but definitely not a wolf. I don't plan to address some of those other comments further, as I don't want it to muddy the waters with what I've written as a sincere and heartfelt apology to the community.

In Christ & With Sincerity,

I don't think doing stuff which makes health better requires waiting on Lord.

You need to remove as much stress as possible. Body stop repair processes when in stress mode. And healing requires relaxation to start repair.
 
Congratulations on the newborn, and other children! I always got stressed ans stretched with each new addition as I tried to do what already felt like a lot....AND juggle the nursing, diaper changes, all with a post partum body/weakness.
The poly bomb was never as much of a fall out with us. We talked about it for 20 years before it happened over 4 years ago. I still had sisters in law completely stop talking, a third basically told me in advance not to reach out to her if I had a bad day....an "I told you so" kind of thing. She has since come around to being kind and we have visited her home with my sisterwife and her little guy. She was treated well.

I am certainly going to keep your family in prayer. Thank you for sharing.
 
A lot going on for sure in your household. Nice to have you back and may you find something useful here to help with the polybomb aftermath. :-) Praying for your family during this stressful time.

Fair enough, the orthodox speculation came from me. It wasn’t an accusation, just a speculation. You used language that I hear from them frequently. We’re praying for your situation.
 
Well, the manic nature of your previous posts is now clarified. Many of us have been through the child rearing phase of life. It’s a struggle even without the poly bomb.

As long as you understand that this is quite a melange of beliefs and practices, you will find comfort in the virtual fellowship which will hopefully lead to in person fellowship.

Be well.
