A Question (mostly) for the guys.

Gracy..

Get wise to your own ways.

Lol.

Please.. do it now, before someone gets hurt.

Guys can be dumb, yes, I know from my own experience as a guy lolololololol In my case, I had been told a woman plays hard-to-get and wants a guy to keep after her. But now I know each lady can speak for herself!! So, I may ask a woman if she prefers being pursued or she prefers to be straightforward, then I take her word for it and act accordingly.

What is this? I don't even...

And as an update: my friend seems to be doing a little better, but he still hasn't come to terms with things. I've been up talking with him this evening and he's really not himself yet. Even our mutual friend agreed that he must be really upset to say some of the stuff he's said recently...

So, prayers would be appreciated. Meanwhile I'm thanking God for a chance to reach out to someone and help others. It takes my mind off my own problems quite nicely haha.

My own ways are so confusing.

It's like, this human being likes coffee cold but not hot? This weird human is attracted to long hair yet wants hers short? This weird human somehow derives pleasure from chasing younger teens with a weapon-shaped container of water? This human stares at her phone for hours and wonders why her room isn't clean? How un-wise and hard to understand.

Go on, I have patience!

What??? Dude, I'm not going to ditch my friend because he isn't a Christian...

gd!

Jesus never gave up on any of His disciples.

Also, love "hopes all things" > in 1 Corinthians 13:7. So, we have hope for anyone.

I know this guy. He and his girlfriend are both crazy. However, she has a much better support network because she's gorgeous and really sweet. He is socially awkward and I know I may be one of the only people helping him work through this. And likely the only Christian helping him through this.

That happened to me; it would be generous to say I was socially awkward. But there were certain people who were there for me; that possibly was part of why I did not turn into a total emotional wreck.

As for my relationships, that's a completely different story, and it's very complicated. It would be better if you didn't jump to conclusions about how I need to "get wise to my own ways," whatever that means.

The Bible says God's ways are "past finding out." (in Romans 11:33) So, I see from this that we can not figure out things about God, and His ways can be operating in our lives so we can't understand what is going on. But we can pray and trust Him to guide us.

But, also, our ways which are selfish can keep getting us in trouble, if we don't get wise to them. "Of course", I do not mean ways like your way of choosing how to have your coffee

But I think I have seen how selfish ways can get us with the wrong person and hurt and in trouble in our relating; and then, after someone breaks up, those same ways can just have the person get into another problem relationship. So, getting wise to any ways which are selfish is what I mean . . . not your unique ways which people just can't understand.

I have a lady who has turned out to be quite different than me. But I trusted God to decide if I would be with someone, and who. And we are crazy but can also be practical and helping others.
