So, a few weeks ago, almost a month actually, I had finished reading Wild at Heart
It was such a good book, but I'm not here to tell you about it and that you should read it [If you are a guy READ IT. Heck if you are a girl read it too! I want to read Captivating].
What I do want to say is that someone today at school was talking about how men of God act too much like little boys. I was slightly offended by that because all though I fail so many times at this life I'm trying to live, I try nothing more than to be a man of God. It really got me thinking about what I had just finished and how John Eldredge is pretty much talking about how we [men of God] have to act like the men we have been called to be.
I've never challenged anybody before, but after that little cynical comment someone made I'm challenging all my guy friends to be the men we are called to be.
Let's take down the nice guy facade and replace it with a warrior ready to fight.
Let's stop being bored with this life we are called to live and start finding the adventures that God has put forth in our lives. Trust me there are many, and he's wanting us to find them.

"In the heart of every man is a desperate desire for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue."
