It has came aware to me recently that some of my friends are building lives that they cant live. Rather, they built a life for themselves that they could not continue. Now, many people would condemn my friends for their failure; but is that failure really their fault? Everyone grows up and we make stupid mistakes, but we are fooling ourselves to believe that God is going to give us the strength to do something that he did not intend for us to do. Many times, we as humans, decide a path to take our life down but do not explore the options that we have. Christians specifically do this when we date without making preparations for marriage. Having premarital sex is just one of many ways we make lives that we cant live. My personal favorite is the crash diets; people starve themselves for weeks only to breakdown and start all over again. In my life I have needed God's help and good guidance from friends to make good decisions that I could live with. Thats why both my wife and myself married as virgins (we dated for 6 months before I proposed and waited for 4 more before we got married). Both my wife and myself realize that we could not have waited any longer to be married; so we got married. Why do people limit their options and build lives that they cant live?
"Power is defined by choices [options]. Often the best way to enhace one's power is to develop better choices." Bernard Mayer.
