When you purchase anything, it comes with instructions.
Some things should not require instructions.
Shampoo, body wash, Pop Tart's, Pickles.
"Refrigerate upon opening."
Some things SHOULD come with instructions.
Children, My droid, Stupid people.
All my life I have been given specific instruction on what
I should and should not be doing.
Get baptized at age 8.
Go to Young Women at age 12.
Mutual once a week.
Personal Progress.
Don't date til you're 16.
Keep yourself morally clean.

I have taken it upon myself to jot down some instructions that I wish I had at the beginning:
Do your best. It is enough.
You are going to make mistakes, you are going to fall short.
And that's okay.

And when it comes to the questions of
when to start dating, introduce kids and possible marriage?
Do what YOU feel is right for you.
It's okay to ask advice and receive counsel,
but ultimately it's between you and the Lord.
There is no one answer for everyone.
I find myself in unfamiliar territory with no map.
I am totally winging it.
I've made my fair share of mistakes and I plan on making more.
But one thing is for damn certain:
I will NEVER give up.
Do you know how much the Lord loves you?
I do.
It's a lot.

You're doing just fine.
