Why?

Yesterday driving home I asked myself two questions.  Why do I write these and what do I expect to happen with them?

The why is hard to explain.  Well, no, not really.  The why is God.  God has placed it on my heart to write these posts.  When He lays something on my heart, I cannot sleep until I get at least a few words on a page or in the notes section of my phone so I don't forget it.  Okay, but why?  Why does God want me to write them?  I feel that God wants me to write them for His glory.  

I do not play politics.  I am not a "yes man", nor am I a man who stays quiet when something needs to be addressed.  Sometimes I rub people the wrong way.  Some people don't like me.  And that is fine.  But when I see something that needs to change, I speak up.  That is who I am.  That is how God made me.  I feel that men (myself included) need to be better.  I feel that men need to be better for themselves, for their wives and children.  I feel that men need to be better for God.  That is why I write these.  That is why I want to get these into the hands of as many men as I can, so that we will be better.  And through God be the increase, to Him be the Glory.  

I do not write well.  I mean if you have read any other of my posts you know that.  I have my wife look at these before I post them.  She is the one that helps with editing and polishing it up a little.  And I thank her for that.  But God is the one that uses my fingers to say what He wants me to say.  He wants us to be more than we are.  He wants us to climb mountains, to show our children that it can be done.  He wants us to learn how to pray better and, to be overcomers, and giant slayers.  He wants us to be a different breed and to be set apart in this world.  I want to turn the world on its ear with you, for Him.  

The other question of what I expect to happen with them?  Everything.  God can use these for His glory and through Him all things are possible.  I have no idea where He is going to take them.  If no one reads them, I would still write them.  If one person gets the tiniest seed planted because of them, praise God.  If one man becomes a better husband or father then it is all worth it.  

I am a country boy from central Arkansas.  Other than to my wife and children, immediate family and a few friends, I am a nobody.  If God can use me, He can use anyone.
