The Man I want to be...

I was posed the question tonight...what kind of man do you want to be. Thank God it was a rhetorical question...I didn't have an answer. What kind do I want to be? I've never really thought about it before...I guess you don't just become a man...you have to work for it. Laziness gets you nowhere.

I want to be honest, caring, handy, goofy, loving, open. I want to make enough to get by...but a few perks would be nice. I want to be able to enjoy my hobbies...and share them with others. I want to be God-fearing yet God-centered. I want to be able to guide others toward a life following Jesus Christ. I want to be hard-working, energetic, kind.

I am succeeding in some areas, but failing in others. Lord, help me to be the man I want to be...but first help me to be the man You want me to be.
