Man Up

Where are all the Christian men?

Don't get me wrong, women have their problems. I could write all day about our problems. But men, to use the excuse, "it's cause I'm a guy" is a very wussy way of saying that your sin is okay. It's NOT okay. Man up and realize that porn is LUST and lust is SIN. Accept it for what it is, don't make excuses. Man up and accept the consequences. Man up and get rid of it. It hurts every kind of relationship in your life. And it also hurts your wife, fiance, girlfriend, your supposed 'one and only.'

I know that technology is getting fancier and I know that it's hard for you guys. I know you're wired like that, and that's okay, because God made you like that. I sympathize with your on-going struggle. Just don't make excuses. It's not very manly.

Change, Change, Change

I can't think of one person who actually enjoys change. Every transition in my life has always been especially tough on me. Divorce, moving, break ups. Up until now, most of the decisions in my  life were decided for me, and most of those decisions to this day I hate and would have wished for something different. But now it's my turn to control my life, and wouldn't ya know all these bad, life altering decisions has made me a little indecisive. I wonder why.

It's a good thing I'm not really in control of my life. I gave my life over to my Heavenly Father 6 years ago. That doesn't mean that I don't like to take the reins now and again. I see over and over again at various instances in my life and realize that those heartbreaking moments could have been avoided if I had completely given up control, or rather acting like I was in control. Hard lessons to learn, but it's all about sharpening knives.

But what now? I have many life changing decisions in the very near future (more like NOW), and there's no time to be indecisive. As I've said many times, I wish God would send me a letter telling me exactly what to do. If I keep this up, I'm going to be sitting on the couch watching Spongebob for the rest of my life. That's not what I want. That's not what God wants.

So what does God want? I've been seeking, asking, and knocking. All I know is what the word tells me.

Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God- 1 Corinthians 10:31
Go then and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit- Matthew 28:19

So I'm praying. And if you are my brother or sister in Christ, I could definitely using more prayers.
