So, things have really kicked in for me in a lot of ways. I often make choices that I think will benefit me, but I am not asking God if it is for the best so I end up making a choice that backfires on me. Life is about learning, but life is also about listening to those around you, and when we, okay, when I, go against what people say because I feel they won't understand, God is really testing me to determine if I can listen to him and sadly, I do not obey as much as I should and that is not good. So growing up is hard but it has to happen no matter what, and change is a part of life, we have to accept it despite how we think or feel. Situations do not make a person, if you decide to be something, or do something, make sure you know why you are doing it, and to make sure it is for the best, not because you think it will make you happy. I love my family, and all the support they give, but growing up we all had a different life even though we are from the same family, Age does make a difference when making choices and it is hard to hang with those who are either older or younger, what we need to make sure is that we keep each other in check but in a positive way. I am grateful that I am assured by family how incredible I am because sometimes it is tough and you get angry and upset and you end up doing things that you regret, but to know who I am and the faith my family has in my makes me feel and know how loved I am and to never go against their advice. Listen to those closest to you!!!!!!

Finish What You Start
I was just going over some blog posts and I had not realized that I do not finish what I start. For example, I will start a poem, and will leave it for weeks, or I will start a blog, and leave it forgetting it is there...So my goal is to finish what I start. Or at least to remember to go back to it. I have so many short stories that never got finished...Not good. So, this blog is short, and also to remind those that if you start something, don't forget about it.

FBW
I'm sure you can figure out what the title stands for.
This was a FB status I made just before I made the blog.
"Women need to stop accepting the "Friends With Benefits Package", you don't deserve a standard or mediocre friendship/relationship where you give him what he wants, what about you. Always remind yourself you are worth much more than what he's willing to give, and remind him you aren't settling for less, benefits come after he has worked to keep you, just like a job, keep him on probation till he puts a ring on it. Yup, I said it."
Time and time again men have convinced women with their bodies instead of their hearts to be with them. Women who come from good homes, run into guys who use their charm, and a nice little hobby, like singing or poetry, or even books to give a woman the impression he's the commitment type, but we all know that that is how he gets women. He'll sweet talk her, have a good convo, than find a way to make her laugh smile, knowing in his body, "This one's easy." Sadly, women fall for it, but I have learned that being strong makes a huge difference, and I am glad to know I will not be another stereotype and let myself fall for someone that won't even be there 100% for me. Days after this post, since sometimes I start my blogs but do not finish, I find myself with a new sight towards my idea. There were some comments that made me really see that some women do just want something physical, while some want the real deal. And if you choose a short term, I have no right to judge, because you know exactly what you are doing, and why. You know where you are and you have decided to accept the present. If I ever offended anyone regarding my post, my apologies, I am just sharing how I feel about things, and I feel that women should not settle for less.
Hey, that's just my thought, everyone thinks differently.

FourTraits
http://www.christianhusbands.org/writings/responsibility.html
The bible talks about there being a particular type of woman that men should want to marry, and it made me think, there must be one about men, so I looked it up on google and that is where I found the link posted above. Men talk so much about the type of woman they want, how she should be, dress, traits they want her to have, etc but I have always wondered about men, and what to look for, and this changes everything.
There are four areas that men need to have in order to make a good Christian man, and if looking for more, a good Christian husband. I thought it was really neat and informative, and of course I went to the bible to find out more information, and I think it is great how when you want to know something, the bible is there for you to find it. Sometimes its in a hidden message but you have to dig to find it. Proverbs 31:10 talks about the type of woman, a woman of virtue, which sadly these days its hard to find, but we are out there. So, the main point of this blog is to emphasize to men, to please, do not think you cannot hold these traits that God declares all men should have, if you are expecting your woman, the one you want to be with to have the traits you want, loving, caring, strong, ambitious, and can hold things down when you cannot, you need to be able to do the same for her. It is not about one person when it comes to relationships, just know that both parties need attention, and the right kind goes a long way. You cannot demand a man to be like this, but you can encourage him to be a better person if you notice he is straying. Okay, I wont make it a long blog, I am working on my blogs being shorter than normal. Work in Progress.
