So, earthly bills are annoying. Just saying. Things are really up in the air with my job, and I complain too much, trying my best to just Let Go and Let God, just to have it set and know that God is in control. Since I work through a temp agency at OSU, when the kids go on vacations, I go on vacation. It's a blessing in disguise, because our 4 kids have the time off too and I get to spend time with them and we don't have to pay a baby sitter, but that's also days I won't be getting paid. Bills are getting slowly paid off but once I get close they tend to go back up, and my bank account keeps going into negative. Such is life though. Compared to some peoples problems mine are nothing, I shouldn't complain, it is extremly hard to just Let Go and Let God, but even though I have trouble doing it, he still takes care of us. We have a roof over our head, food to feed our kids, a car to get around in, and believe me, if it wasn't for Him we would be in worse off condition. I feel I have kept a pretty positive attitude, staying positive that even if I do lose my job, then it was meant to be and God will have the next thing lined up for me. I just need to pray and obey Him. Do you have problems Letting Go and Letting God? Do you do it easily? How so?
Moving on from my complain fest, what does it mean to be a Man? When did you first feel you were a Man? Was it the first time you had sex? First time you moved out? When you were finally old enough to drive, buy cigarettes or alcohol? God has been doing a lot of work on me, my beliefs and how I really need to act. A lot of it was sparked by the movie Courageous, but I feel He was shaping and changing my heart before that movie. Even before I had seen the movie I felt I had to show it to my home church, night was a success by the way, over 100 people came. Well, growing up, I never really had a person in my life that told me how a man should be, I just watched and learned from my dad, which isn't a bad thing, but I am now learning a lot more, being in the Word, reading the Bible, a few books, one called the Resolution For Men I am learning a lot. I am learning it is my job to be the Spiritual Leader of the Household, and what it means to Lead My Family. I know I can not do it without Him. I have made a concious decision to be in His Word daily; Talk to Him daily, if not hourly; Read with my children His Word and teach them daily right from wrong; Show them how a man treats a woman, their elderly and others. Sure my children stumble, but so do I, DAILY. We are all human, it is our nature to Sin. Satan is always around, trying to pull us into his grasps, telling us we are not good enough, telling us bad things are good, corrupting our minds. It is all thanks to God that he sent his ONLY SON JESUS to die on the cross for our Sins. I am just now reading through the bible, I have never really done it before, but reading through Exodus it explains what they used to have to do to attone or ask for forgiveness of their sins. I don't know about you but I feel a million times better knowing that I can just talk to God and Jesus and ask them to forgive me for my Sins because Jesus PAID THAT PRICE, instead of having to butcher and sacrifice cows and animals in His name. Just know, when you are going down the right path, the path of Christ, the path to God, Satan is pissed and does not want you to, he will do everything in his POWER to pull you away. Just yell at him, let him know, "Satan, you have no POWER over me!" because he does not, because you are a child of Christ and God LOVES YOU! Yes YOU!
