I've identified chaos passed down to me through my mother's Catholicism. My father was atheist and he failed to offset that.
Forget about your mother and father, the are irrelevant in this. It's more likely she was brainwashed by church rather than really connected to God.
The one main thing you need to learn from God is this - what is your purpose in life? Only once you truly realize this can you say that you know and are connected to God.
I've been watching my Mormon friend very quickly cultivate community adoration and worldly success out of nothing in a new place. So even though I am at the beginning having witnessed this I have such a good mental head start. Because I fully believe that anything is possible with hard work.
