Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.

I was young. I grew up goiing to church every time the doors opened. Although, after a few years, my mother stopped going. My dad didnt goo muchh anyway because of his work. I was baptized when i was around 10. I did because “everyone else was “. I really did not come to know Christ until my adulthood.
