Adam and Eve were created in a perfect world.  Everything was exactly the way God wanted it... everything was within His will.  All was good.  But Adam and Eve chose to fight against the authority wall between God and man, choosing man's will over God's (thinking they would be happiest), and... well, where did that take them?  Somewhere better?  To a happier place, one that satisfied them and gave them joy?  No.  It lead them away from God.  Their decision to ignore God's plan to follow their own lead them to disappointment and so so much more.  It affected their entire lives, and every life that followed after them until today - centuries later!

I don't want just a Christian guy.  I want a Godly man.  And the only way to get that is to trust in GOD'S will, and to wait for the one He's perfectly chosen for me.  Adam and Eve's story, as discouraging as it could be, in some way... yes, it encourages me.  He's not holding good things from me, as much as the devil tries to whisper into my ear that I need something different or "better" to be happy.  It reminds me that God's plans are always perfect (by now we know that what we think isn't very reliable right?), and they're far better than anything I could think up.  It reminds me that He knows best.  As I just trust Him to bring along a guy who loves Him more than me, who desires purity and truth, living the Word out, who embraces the calling of manhood that God has given Him, and who prays for me.

In fact, not only that... It encourages me to trust HIM to the lead the way in all areas of my life. Could use a little more trust in more than one area of my life, no? ;-)

you. are. worthy.

This was good for me to read today... Advice for living life at home as an adult? This can be a great thing or it can be a horrible thing. What's really unfortunate about the whole topic is that there is this crowd of homeschoolers out there that has almost ruined the reputation of us "still-at-home-after-highschool" ers. When I say ruined our reputation, I mean ruined the way people as a whole think about young people living at home/not going away to the typical 4yr degree, secular college deal. They've almost ruined it because there is a large number of graduated girls (and guys, but we're just talking about the girls here so I won't get started on the guy problem) who do nothing but wash laundry, make dinner, and browse the web. Now, I'm not saying those things are bad. (I do each of them!) But if that's all you're doing there is a serious problem. I've seen way too many girls who have done that. You will look back year...

“God is God. … He is worthy of my worship and my service. I will find rest nowhere but in His will, and that will is … unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what He is up to.”

"I urge you, brother, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites." (Rom. 16:17, 18) How's my appetite?   Am I hungry for His Word, thirsting for time in His presence?? Desiring "meaty" teaching, and ready to eat what He puts before me?  I don't want to be one of "those who cause divisions" or one who is a walking obstacle for others beside me in the road of life... simply because of my change of appetite. Hungry for the world, and the things of it. Desiring to please myself, in place of the Lord.  Jesus, make me a JOY to be around because of what you are in me!  Don't let me fall into a place where others must "keep away from" because of my short-fallings, so that they may keep from the temptation of doing the same.  Be the constant change I need in my life...
