Learning As We Go...

Life does not come with a user's manual or an instruction handbook.

In all my searching for one, my quest simply seems to leave me more confused and bewildered than when I first tried to figure out one little aspect of life. However, I think I am finally on to something. This so-called "manual" does exist; the problem is that it needs an author. Each individual I believe is charged with the call to write their own handbook however they see fit. Certain influences such as parents, environment, and other conditions will help to shape that handbook with unique flavors.

With all that said, I think I have gotten a fair start on my own personal "how-to" booklet. I've been raised in a small town with those small town principles about right and wrong, but yet I am human and surrounded by other humans who make the same mistakes I do. I've gotten out and seen things that some do not have the opportunity to see. I've done somethings on the darker side of life, but it is only by the grace of God that He sought me and hunted me down to come into a relationship with Him. I can honestly say, to whoever may read this, that I would not trade my relationship with Christ for anything in the world. I also have come to discover that in life there are a ton of things to do, think about, and just be overwhelmed by. When it comes down to it, I believe the best approach to life and all it encompasses is just to take it one step at a time, and to learn as you go.


I wish you all the best of luck in the progress of your manual or guide or whatever title you see fit to it. It is yours so who am I to say what you ought to call it. I think I will just keep doing what I am doing and figure it all out as I go.
