Vertical (my relationship w/ God) – To glorify God
This becomes a bullet point. So what you are about to do, you are to do whether the rest of your family does or not… YOUR GOAL ISN’T TO CHANGE EVERYONE ELSE; YOUR GOAL IS TO GLORIFY GOD EVEN IF NO ONE ELSE CHANGES!!!
Horizontal (my relationship w/ family) – to strive to have peaceful relationships
