I have (for the last 2 weeks) been taking a drivers ED class! Its been great! Kinda boring, but very useful! You would not believe how nervous I was in the beginning of the class!!! It’s all good now! So I have been a pretty busy girl!
So back to my post! =) I was thinking and praying about what to talk about. There are SO MANY things that teenage girls deal with everyday, different situations, different guys, different problems. So I thought I would start kinda basic about how to treat guys, ALL of them. Whether its your brother(s), your dad, the guys at your school, or at church, at work, etc.. We girls come in contact with guys almost everyday! School seems to be a popular place to see guys. And if you are homeschooled like me, then you know that you are with your brothers and your dad alot. But it doesn’t matter where we go to school, we interact with guys everyday. I thought it would be great to talk about how to treat your brother in Christ. So, fasten your seat-belts!!!!
Before we start, I hope that this blog will inspire you as a girl to motivate the guys in your life to become far better men... men like Jesus Christ.
I was reading one of Leslie Ludy’s books on purity one day (Authentic Beauty) and I came across something that her husband Eric wrote. He was talking about how to treat our brothers in Christ. I thought it was so great that I wanted to share what I got out of the section he wrote in. First of all, he spent a good amount of time talking about a type of guy, he liked to call a “Warrior Poet" (now remember that name cause I say it alot) Leslie has mentioned it as well. And he goes on to explain what he thinks a warrior poet is to him. He talked about a guy that he read about in a book called The Scottish Chief. In his words, "This man was a fighter; strong, confident, brave. He was a total picture of a true Warrior Poet."
If you know me at all you will know that I am in LOVE with the movies The Lord of the Rings. I don’t know why, and I don’t know how, I just am. This movie has a little bit of everything. Some adventure, romance, comedy, and a little gore; but, I could watch that movie over, and over again! As I was thinking about who I see as a Warrior Poet, it hit me. This William Wallace that Eric was talking about reminded me of someone else.Aragorn from the Lord of the Rings. He is yet another picture of a true Warrior Poet. He is handsome, brave, strong, courageous, fearless, a fighter, not a quitter, romantic, smart, sweet, a good friend, a true Warrior Poet. Men like these gave me a vision of manhood that I desire for every guy I know. The thing is, I think men like Aragorn and William Wallace didn’t spend their days, flirting with all the girls, or wasting time playing video games. They were out there fighting for what they believed was right. Being trained to go out and fight, to win! You don’t see many guys like that! But you know what, I hate to say it but girls are a HUGE part of the problem. We don’t treat the guys in our life like Warrior Poets. We treat them like Peter Pan or Sponge Bob. We don’t admire them for what God created them for. We don’t help shape them to be Warrior Poets; instead we become arrogant girls and knock them down. “Guys desire to be so much more than they are today--they just don’t know they desire it.” (to be continued........)
