Passivity

So today I went on a men's retreat and learned a lot about passivity. It is something that I myself am fighting like crazy. I never really thought of passivity in the Christian faith as I thought of it tonight. I struggle with this in school, relationships, my personal walk, purity, and other areas that I never really thought of much. I realize that I let a lot just go by me because I'm too lazy to try and do something about it. Well, I want to change. I want to stop being passive. I'm not sure what this is going to look like, but I want it to occur. The retreat continues tomorrow morning, so I'm going to grab some sleep. I just wanted to post about this amazing reawakening that I hope lasts. I want to see myself fighting to do the best in everything I come in contact with. This is what men are for. We are here to be physically and emotionally strong. I need to use the talents God gave me in order to further the things around me. I'm really excited about tomorrow's talks, and spending more time in this authentic fellowship.

Thanks "Why I Love Italy" for the comment. You should let me know what your blog address is so that I check you out. The comment helped give me a little boost today. Not that I NEED people to read this stuff...but it helped make me feel like there was someone out there. You also seem to be interesting...so I'd love to find out more.

Looking at how things are for me, maybe we should talk about passivity. I think it might do me some good also. I know I'm not a guy but I'm still a Christian.
