I've come to a realization recently that there are no men in my life. Not just in my life but many guys my age lack any real men in there lives. I have spent a considerable amount of time over the past few years complain about this and speaking about how I want some in my life to be an example for me. Yet, i've always come up short. Today, I've decided to think differently now. I want to be a man, a real Man. Yea, it's tough but at this point the alternatives look even worse. So, i've set out to find some real men rather than wait for them to come to me. I'm gonna do my part to learn what I can from them and to watch there example so that I can grow up and get my act together and be a man. Quit complaining about stuff. Man up and take care of it myself and if I can't do anything about it then, shut up and get over it.

I will lob you that book I mentioned dude, it's pretty convicting, for want of a better word
I was just going to say, you need to quit asking for something, and just become it! There are other men who need to look up to you and you need to be THAT MAN. Do what is right, honor your sisters in Christ, practice justice and mercy. BE THE MAN YOU WANT TO FOLLOW.
I love you bro,

I've heard this a lot from guys in my life.
Me being of the female persuasion and all, I'm not sure that I'm ENTIRELY full of insight, but what I CAN relate to you is that the men I've known who've come to this place, usually fall into one of two camps: either the mope about it and complain about it and try to find a mentor...OR...they just decide that they really need to step up and become the mentor-type for young men around themselves.
And the ones who become mentors have turned into some of the most Godly men I know.
(I hope you go in that direction!)
Also, I miss you, Drewbie!
