Lightroom and life

   Lightroom is an Adobe Photoshop application that is used for organizing and working with images. When I take photographs, I can download them directly from the card on my camera into the computer where the software program takes over. There is only one trouble with all of this. I can't seem to learn what to do to develop a consistent workflow so that I can actually do what i want. Lightroom seems to have a mind of its own, and, once I learn one thing about using it, another thing shows itself and I'm lost again.

   Fortunately for me, my neighbor a few doors down knows this program and is willing to give me some help on using it. But even this may have its limits. If I don't grasp it pretty soon, even he may make himself scarce when he sees me coming, and I would not blame him at all.

   I thought of all this as I took a few minutes to pray this morning. My prayers seem to be repeating themselves over these days. There are things that I am concerned about, and I seem to keep coming back to them each and every day. Most of these are in regard to my life and how to live it at this stage. I want to do my best for Him, for my family and for my growth in His grace.

   Then the thought hits me. Will God get tired of my continual asking for help? He knows me and He knows what I need. Should I have to keep on asking or maybe one day see the whole picture and master the program?

   Just as I tell my neighbor, "don't give up on me, I may understand it all one day, but right now I need help", do I say the same to God?

   And I thought maybe life would get easier at this point, but I'm still behind the curve on learning how to operate.

   I need help and I need it soon, on both fronts.
