Proverbs 20:6
Many a man proclaim his own steadfast love,
but a faithful man who can find?
Ladies, don't just listen to the poetic serenades of your significant other look at the characteristics of his past. If the guy hasn't been faithful in the past with other women and in his job and in other responsibilities he is not gonna be faithful to you as a husband or to your children as a father. People do make mistakes and change is possible so tell him you need to see that before you commit to a relationship, if he does love you he will honor and respect that. Remember you aren't just making this decision for yourself but also your kids.
This blog is really a journal of my life. Some of the issues that I am working through or have come across are posted here. Feel free to leave comments as many of the issues that I speak to are not completely settled in my mind, but are my current thoughts on the topic presented.

Foolish Anger
Proverbs 19:3
When a man's folly brings his way to ruin,
his heart rages against the LORD.
Pride is the root of all sin and anger can be kindled against an undeserving source when our pride is attacked. We all know someone who blames God for their life problems or circumstances when clearly they have made some unwise decisions that have put them in the position they are in. It is easy to sit back looking from the outside in on their situation and point out their spots of error, but how often do we do this same thing on a daily basis? Maybe its a time crunch at the end of a day of work and you find yourself venting at God because you want to get home and yet fail to see the time that you wasted at the beginning of the day. Or it could be an unpleasant grade that you got on a test at school and you find yourself frustrated because right before the test you prayed for God to help you do well even though you forgot to study the night before. Not all ruin is because of foolishness (i.e. Job) but many times before we say "why did you bring this situation to me God?" we need to evaluate what we may have, or not have, done that got us into the position where we find ourself.
