I am 50 years old, married with 2 adult kids. I love my life! I like to learn new things and I feel the Bible is packed full of wisdom. I never want to stop learning and growing. I actively seek the moving of the Holy Spirit in my attempt to seek knowledge. However, I have often wondered how much better things could have been had I been better prepared. My parents were divorced like many. My mother was tasked with the job of raising and providing for 3 children. There was little time for imparting wisdom. I don’t blame my parents for any of my shortcomings. However, as a young man I was totally unprepared for adulting. There were many decisions to be made and we were literally just making things up as we went. Our choices were not always the best. I often felt unsure of myself and how to proceed in the most basic situations. It was often a matter of what served me in the moment. Not a good way to make choices.

With my own children I made efforts to pass on what I knew as wisdom. My desire was for them to have the best beginning possible. Better than my own. Not only did I want to teach them directly but also by example. I wanted to do like I say. Not always an easy task. But I went at it with purpose. I do think they have benefited from some of this knowledge and they will gain more on top of that base I am confident. Now I want to impart some of the things I have learned to others. I think everyone can experience life abundantly. My hope is that others can use some of the truths that God has imparted to me. Not that I have it all figured out but maybe some small piece will bare fruit in your life as it has my own.
