Taking time to learn

As with all things, if you want to do something well, then we must take the time to learn how! A few months ago I started to delve I to the realm of Adobe products, in particular the CS4 Production Suite. Learning new programs typically comes pretty easy for me, not so with these amazing programs.

It takes a lot of time and dedication to be able to use these programs effectively. The first time I started playing with them it was pretty overwhelming! The user interface was very complicated and nothing went like I thought it should. But the more you get into it, the easier it becomes.

So how have I been learning? I started using Lynda.com for my training needs with the very basic tutorials and have been building up from there. I started with the one or two that most interested me and have slowly been improving my skills.

This got me to thinking about being a Christian and our walk with God. The first time you start reading the Bible, it may get a little overwhelming. But with time, patience, and learning, we soon begin to be transformed into the likeness of our Creator.

So as we work in church media and technologies, we need to be humble enough to learn what we can; admit when we need help; and be willing to spend time at the Master’s feet! So what are you learning today? Ray Kroc, founder of McDonald’s, used to say, “When you’re green, you’re growing!” are you growing to be the best Christian you can be, or ???? Fill in the blank. Take the time to learn from others and be the bestGod designed you to be. Blessings.
