What Every Young Man Should Know

-

 

Today, I have a list of things every young man should do.

1. Have Daily Devotions.
Make sure you are consistently reading your Bible and praying every morning.  Set an alarm and make it a habit and keep that time reserved between you and God.

2. Listen to more preaching.
Just because it is a week-day doesn't mean you can't listen to more preaching. If you find yourself with some free-time, put in the effort and listen to preaching.

3. Work Hard
In whatever task your given, learn to work hard. No wife or employer wants a lazy husband. Don't be afraid of work, love it!

4. Prioritize Purity
Especially in today's world, it is difficult to be pure as a guy. But it has to be a priority. Make the pledge that David made in the Bible. I will set no wicked thing before mine eye.

5. Treat your mom and sisters with honor and respect.
I have often heard that how you treat your mom and sisters is how you will treat your wife. Never belittle your mom or disrespect her in any way. Give compliments often to your sisters and don't be afraid to give your mom a hug and say I love you.

6. Read Godly Books.
READ BOOKS! This is something invaluable to have. And don't give the excuse of I don't read. Simply put down the screen, sit down and open up a book.

7. Spend more time outside
Don't always be cooped up inside. Get out sometime and do manly stuff. Build a fort, or mow the lawn, or ride a bike. Stop being a sissy and get some good-old fashioned fresh air!

8. Learn Basic Car Repair.
Every young man should know how to check the oil, change a tire and wash the car. Next time your Dad works on the car, sit with him and learn.

9. Have a Budget
Learn how to save money and be a good steward with money. I was able to take a Dave Ramsey class on finance and I would highly recommend it. But don't just waste money on random things.

10. Be Athletic
Now I'm not saying you have to be super fit but you should, as a guy be able to do some athletic activity. Learn how to throw a football and dribble a basketball. Be familiar with sports and know how to do them.

11. Be involved in church ministries.
Find something in the church that you can be apart of and help out your church!

12. Limit your screen time.
Do not be one of those guys that are always on a screen. Make it important to limit your time every week and stick to it.

13. Be a gentlemen
Always make sure to hold the door open for ladies and stand up when an older person shakes your hand. Learn proper manners that will set you apart as a gentlemen from others.

This is My family This is my Mom and Dad. I love spending time with them. My Dad is the one that led  me to the Lord. I appreciate all that they are to me. They are fun to be around and show a great example of a good marriage. This is my older brother Josh and his wife Tabitha. He is an awesome older brother and they are actually my youth leaders. They are the best youth group leaders I could ask for.  They are personable but fun and always challenge us to grow in our walk with the Lord. And they live next door too! This is my oldest sister Beth. She is actually an author. She has written some pretty good books too, if you like the romance and mystery type of book. She is sweet and and is always helping others. And she is single too in case anyone is interested. She is 27 and is a very good cook. But you will have to talk to my dad first. This is my older sister Brenna and her husband AJ. Her and AJ run the bus route for our church and do a great job at it. They have 2 sons, A...

It has been a really good week for me. For July 4th, our church had an activity with ice cream and some really good fireworks. I'm so thankful for our nation!!! Me and my mom were able to sell the last of our spring goats on Sunday! The Goat in the pic is Aurora. She is really pretty but I'm glad she is going to a new home. I have also been doing a bunch of work with my rabbit pens and scheduling out breeding which will start the end of August! My sister Callie recently started an Etsy shop selling unique earrings.  The ducks below are glow in the dark. We had our Good News at the Park today. it went really well and 58 from our church volunteered. I was also to help lead 2 teen guys to the lord as well with a friend. It is always a blessing to hear someone pray and accept Jesus into their heart! The cookies above was from a lady that gave them to me and I'm so glad because these Publix sprinkle cookies are my favorites. Lastly I was able to receive a certificate from the Bi...

What I have Learned from the Rabbit Business.

If you don't know already, I love breeding and selling rabbits. It has been super fun and in today's post, I will be talking about some of the things I have learned from the rabbit business! 1. Pick the breed If you plan on breeding, raising, and selling rabbits, you first start off by picking which breed you want. Do loads of research to find the breed that best's fit your area, cage space and colors. I chose Holland lops. They are relatively smaller and are the most docile rabbit breed out there. There is a good market in North Florida and they work for my set-up. 2. Buy Supplies Next go to your local Rural King and buy all the rabbit supplies. You want to find a bag of grain, timothy hay and a pet water bottle. Also think about buying food dishes, brush, and treats. You can find cages on Facebook Marketplace or just buy a wire cage at the store. I have connected wire cages that are hanged from the roof using heavy-duty wire. You also want to figure out whether you are ke...
