Future of “men becoming Men” blog/group

So the followers of this blog will have noticed that the blog has been silent for the past half year (or more).

The past year or so has been one of many trials, stresses and revelations. The original goal of “men becoming Men” was to be a “small group” / bible study for men. I firmly believe that the lack of God in the lives of men are the reason behind the problems in our society and more importantly, our families.

However, in the past year, my wife and I have been tested with an ongoing health mystery for her and an over burdensome of stress in life. Her doctor actually told her that she needed to lower her stress load. This means that I needed to increase my load in order to take it off of her. I do this lovingly and willingly, as a husband should.

While I can take the added stress, sadly I am not able to create more hours in the day. This became an issue for the group because the added load that I have taken on has had to occupy the time in my week that was originally devoted to this group and the men in it. As much as I loved having the group and honestly was very excited as it was just starting to really grow and take off, my obligation to my wife comes first and her needs outweighed the desire I had for the group.

Going Forward

I have spent the last several months contemplating what do to with this blog. I feel that letting it simply disappear would be a bad thing. So after much prayer and contemplation, I am going to continue at least the blog with its original mindset of teaching men how to become Men of God.

I know that one day, God will give me the ability to bring back the small group part of “men becoming Men”. Perhaps this whole situation is God’s way of revealing another important aspect of what it means to be a Man of God so that I can share it with others.

Regardless of what happens, I believe that men need to continue to learn from each other and their life experiences. I encourage men to get into good Christian relationships with Godly Men in order to promote further growth in Him. Through Him we can lead our families in a way that can change the lives of everyone they encounter.

In Him.
