I read a letter recently written by a young Christian woman that seemed to be a large rant against Christian men. She complained about how she never could meet the right guy, and how she felt all the Christian men she knew were "sedentary" and never really had anything going on in their lives. She admits that her daydream is for Christian Slater to show up at church and sweep her off her feet as her knight in shining armor. Yet, she insists that she is "not the bad boy type".
Women like to have excitement in their lives, I (and most men) get that. However, judging us on the first date (or even before) by the lack of earthly activities we have scheduled throughout the week hardly seems fair!
This woman is definitely not the first woman I've come across with this attitude. This woman's attitude wreaks of selfishness and earthly desire. Please note, I'm not naive enough to think this type of issue is related only by woman, but it happened that a woman wrote the message. When women write these things and feel this way it is very discouraging at times. Personally, I feel that I don't have much going on in my life that a woman would be interested in or attracted to. After all, I'm just transitioning out of academia into an unstable economy.
To women: Living for and glorifying the Lord is the most exciting and challenging things we men have to do. That's where the real "excitement" is. Regardless of your gender, a relationship with God (as with any relationship) requires never ending maintenance. Our society is constantly telling us to remain sedentary and allow others (especially others) to work for us or bring us pleasure.
