Home Vs. Truck

         I will write this entry because I have been thinking a lot about the difference between women and men. Just seeing some of the things my guy friends are interested really makes me see how different we really are in our gender differences if that makes any sense at all. I call this entry "Home Vs. Truck" because that is the first thing that I thought about that was different between women and men but then this past week I had another thought.  What about "Children Vs. Outdoors" or "Children Vs. Hunting/Fishing" or "Home Vs. Shed". It could go on and on.
         The idea of this entry is just to help other women see that as women and men we have different hobbies and we were made to run different things in this world but that doesn't mean that we cannot work together and accomplish somethings. I got the "Home Vs. Truck" idea when I was in the Bible Study called "Called to be a Keeper" and I was learning more about the call that God has called me to do, which is be the Keeper of the home and children. Read through the Bible and you will find that God made women to be that way.
         You will also find that God made the man to be the leader of the household, just like He is the leader of the Church. Women, submitting to them doesn't mean you have to do everything they say but you do have to ask them to see what they think. Now don't let that be your final answer because God always give you the final answer so pray to Him too about things but it is about being together in a home and in a marriage. It is about being on the same page but yet being different so we don't get bored with each other so quickly.
          I don't want to go into too much detail because I'm not good at advice giving especially about guys but women we have to know who we are truly in Christ. We have to know that God did make us for the home, children, family, comfort, and so on. We are the ones that need to be the nurturing ones and caring ones. We are the ones that need to be around most of the time. Now I get that it would be great for the man to be around to but we can't get mad at him if he is out providing for the family because that is His God-given job.
             I wish I would have seen the home vs. truck comparison in high school. It would have made so much sense back then and I wouldn't have been so stressed out with the guys in my class. It is strange that I can see that in my life right now. Here I am working with children whether at a shelter or a preschool. Right now, I'm even taken care of the infants at the preschool I am at now. Yet I see some of my guy friend going out and providing for their wives or even still yet family. Not only are they providing money and other things like that they are being the leader in their business in some way and form, whether it is the Founder or a boss in some company or some part of the company or the highest office in that section of the company.
            They are taking on that leadership role to get use to being the leader like they are suppose to be. If they can take charge of a group of people, then can't they take "charge" of a family and provide for them. I know I might have used some wording that will stop people from reading this entry and that people won't agree with but if you take the time to really think about it in other ways with other words that it is easy for you to understand then do that. This is just how I understand the God given roles of a husband (man) and wife (women). This is what I learn and see and this is what I stay by and want, even if it is old style nowadays. I can still hope. Can't I?
