Navigating Life

Early on, we learned to attach ourselves to dreams and hopes.                                                                          We learned what it was that strikes our fancy or rocks our boat?                                                                                                 
I do not much care for stories filled with mysteries,                                                                                                 but I'm a real fan of Math, English, and lots of History.

I liked Science also, like Biology, but never took Chemistry.                                                                                 There was an art class and a vocational course on electricity.
I have an appreciation for Art and a respect for all things electric.                                                                                     

I have also greatly benefited from some who were a bit more eccentric.
But were I forced to pick my favorite high school teacher, it would be                                                                                   my history teacher who grabbed my attention and was most inspiring.

There never was a high school course that I have not found useful as I navigate through this life filled with every subject matter longing for a  humane resolution. By the time I enrolled in college, I knew the path              I was to take, and through all the ups and downs, doubts and fears,             by grace, I have stayed the course.                                                         

Back then, I had no clue that God was orchestrating a forward path for me. Now, looking back, when I see the pattern God has designed, I'm grateful.

I always say I went "kicking and screaming" into every situation God put me in, never realizing His plan was the best until much later.
