Hello, my name is Sean I am a husband, father, newly practicing Christian, outdoorsman, Green Bay Packer fan, Oregon Duck fan, and around typical guy living in Portland Oregon.
By newly practicing I do not mean that I am a new believer, my journey started in 2018 but, as of late, I have found myself more drawn to not only God's word but the whole study of it. I have felt a void in myself for several years that I tried to fill with online marketing gimmicks, making more money online in the hopes I could spend more time at home, quit my job and travel yada yada yada, but I still was not able to fill that spot. Then Monday I picked up my bible that I made a commitment to read in a year, though I was drastically behind, and I just asked god to direct me, and as I continued to read every day, I could feel myself getting closer and closer to the Lord and I felt a calling to spread his word. I feel that a lot of people my age are going through the same thing. They did everything they were told to back in the late 90's. Got to school, get a job work your way up. That should be you 100% focused on the next level. I think that left us with a huge hole. Gratitude for what we currently have. Always striving to be better is great but it comes at the cost of purpose in your lives.
That purpose should be Jesus
That is a very good question, in fact at this time right now, i can barly quote scripture. you ask me about a particuler bible verse and i probebly will look at you dumbfounded.
Here is the thing though. I know the feeling of not knoing anything at the age that i am at. At 40 years old, it is intimidating to even go to church or have a convestionwith someone that has been walking with Jesus all their lives, But I do feel i am able to conect with those that are in the same possion as me.
Those who have spent their lives purssuing dreams of confort and now stil feel a hole that is not filled
Told that working hard at your job is the only way to bring happness.
Education and work will lead to a sucsessfull forfilling life
No focuse on your spirtual welfair
A sense of bing lost in life
These are many reasons why mem go into their middil ages and get burnt out and then fall into the mid life crisis, and we try and fill that hold with what the world tells us you need. Money, cars, for get the kids educaion fund go out ounad spend it on yourself. This often leads to divorice and then who knows what.
Sounds like i know what i am talking about. I spent $1000s of dollars chasing the internet marketing dream. the Affiliate marketing rabit hole. you can see it on my twiter and instagram account, i did not sanatize it, and where did that get me. WEll in debit, and still a hole in my soul . Then i went to God, i Finaly started implemetning what our paster has preached, and slowly it got better till i am at where i am now, and i feel a real calling to help those like me realize that the world is going to let you down, and if you pursue it, you are going to get burned out and burned down.
Try this way, it is a lot better, and a lot cheeper.
