what are we doing?
where are we going?
how are we getting ready for life?
hey guys, so something i've been thinking about recently, what am i doing to become the man that can provide for and lead a family.
i'm 21 right now and the desire to marry "her"(the woman God has for me) is a very real thing. but when i take a step back and look at my life, how can i expect God to bring her into my life, when i'm not ready.
currently i live in my parents house, and i've been sporadicly working two part time jobs (one is church, the other being my personal businesses) i say sporadicly cause in the past i haven't been disciplined, just randomly working on something when i feel like it. and then i look at my spending habits, i tend to spend all the money i have available to spend.
the result, i'm going no where, while time keeps passing and the one God has for me has to keep waiting and waiting.

WHERE ARE THE MEN??????
Ok...so I'm starting to get a little frustrated with this...MOST of my Christian friends are getting involved with unChristian guys!!!! What up with this!! It seems like there is a major lack in strong Christian guys who will stand up for what they believe!
this isn't right.
and i know i'm not the only guy who lives like this... guys what are we doing?
we live in our own little world of working and buying, staying busy going nowhere, often so busy we don't even have time for God.
and the women God has for us, they're stuck waiting and waiting, wondering what is taking so long.
We need to wake up and get serious in our relationship with God, and find out, from Him, where we're supposed to be going, and then we need to go and do what He says.
last night i wrote up a daily schedule for myself to get my daily working life in order. starting each day with a wake up time followed by time with God, then breakfast, then work.
my challenge for you is to go spend time with God, and when He tells you to do something, do it!
it's time for us to leave our boyhood ways behind and become the men that God has called us to be.

Wow Mark. This is awesome. Way to go. I feel like I wish every Christian guy could read this and get it as much as you seem to. It's inspiring to me too to think about what I'm doing to prepare for the life that God wants me to live. It's so easy at this age to just get caught up in living with no commitments and no real responsibilities, but then we won't be prepared to handle them when they come. Awesome!
