saturday morning I am on my way to church... as I am at a stop light a man in a lexus (fairly attractive-could have got a date in the past) is looking at me and smiling... and my thought is.. I so understand a street man.. and I don't understand a church man at all...

I have been thinking this for several years... I thought that church men don't make any sense to me because they know Jesus and yet they still treat women badly.. and because they know Jesus we are not expecting it and in my own case was hurt more deeply than a street man ever hurt me because I expected nothing from them.. whereas I expected everything from the church man...

 

this morning driving to work God says the issue is not the man.. it is the church woman... HUH?????

when you were looking at or dating street men.. you knew what it was.. you knew what to expect.. and you knew how to respond... you begin to look at a church man and all of a sudden you think he is no longer a regular man.. you think he is dating with the intention of marriage where you never thought that with a street man.. so recognize a man is a man and act accordingly....

 

WHEW!!! that was so profound to me!!! and so truth!!

we as women imagine that men in church are immediately looking to marry us in 10minutes so we will be up for whatever.. yet when you met a man in the club you weren't up for whatever because you understood what he was really thinking... reality is.. even if the church man ends up marrying you... that was not his first thought.. because he is a man.. he is visual.. and just like any other man he wants sex... it is our job to not prostitute ourselves thinkig every man is thinking about marriage.. make him wait... just like you should have been doing with the street man...

 

thank you Jesus for that amazing lesson in manology!!
