"BUILDING WITH A MAN"
Let me describe something to you quickly, some lady out there need to learn the first principle in building with a man;
One of the favorite games I love to play is the picture puzzle. I like how It makes absolutely no sense when the pieces are unsorted, and how they are scattered out of place all over the board.
I like how it is difficult to tell what the real puzzle is by just looking at it when it's not sorted. I like how the connecting pieces are placed far away from each other. I like how you have to dribble your way through the board to find the right piece that matches, and how you have to go back and forth if the pieces you're connecting doesn't seem to make sense.
As a matter of fact, I like how it is easy to loose interest in the game if you are tired of dribbling your way through the board with no success. I like how it is so easy to quit. But if you can be patient enough to figure out which piece matches the other, and dribble your way through one piece after another to get the perfect image, you'll see the beauty in the sorted puzzle.
I am not trying to make excuses for men, but Most men are like an unsorted puzzle, some of us usually don't have a clue about where we are going, and even if we do have dreams, goals and visions, our lives for a long time does not reflect that great place we have have being working so hard to reach. It is not like we don't have potentials and success abilities, but just like the puzzle game it is difficult to see the beautiful picture just by looking at us, because we have our RIGHT pieces scattered in all the WRONG places, our lives are so unsorted that it will take a special passion from the right woman to connect all our right pieces together and see the picture.
Oh i know, most women are looking for men who have it all figured out, men who are already at that success point in their life, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, but if you're in a relationship with someone whose life is still looking unsorted, or there's some guy who doesn't seem to have things working out for him at the moment asking you out, i want you to think about this before deciding to build with him;
The first thing to do before deciding to build with a man is to be sure that " HE IS A MAN WHO CAN BE LED BY GOD (Rom 8:14)" , this is the first building principle. His life can be unsorted, he might not have the best laid plans at the moment, but does he know how to follow God's directions? Or will he be doing 'try your lucky' with his life and yours.
Second principle of building with a man is to mentally recognize and connect all the right pieces scattered in all the wrong places in his life. This is why it is so important to stay friends first before committing to a relationship, be friends as long as you need, during which you can recognize his strengths and connect his positive sides to see the big picture, and if what you see if what you'll want to be a part of, STAY! .
Am not sure who God is trying to reach with this, please do not replace something that can be FIXED!
