Looking at other blogs I found this awesome article about emotional chastity. I got to this part about maturity, and since I am supposed to be growing up, i.e. maturing, I thought this quote was awesome for what I am in the process of.
The quote is actually a quote itself from some financial guru named Dave Ramsey. This is what he says maturity is:
“Learning to delay pleasure for a greater good. Children do what feels good, adults devise a plan and follow it.”
This makes total sense to me and it is in large part to my faith that I truly understand what this quote is getting at!
Delaying pleasure is not easy, but it is worth it and it is something I need to do if I am ever going to truly be grown up.
P.S.- here is the link to the article I got this from... it is aimed at ladies, but I read it anyways and I am glad I did. If you want to know about healthy relationships this is an awesome article!

Enoy!

There is a longing we all have that cannot be fulfilled. Union with God is the only true source of joy, yet, the pull of worldly things persists. The struggle goes on, but God is with me all the way. Here are my thoughts, findings and ramblings as I try to be my perfect self, for the glory of God.
Who Am I?

- I'm just a guy trying to trust in God and be the best I can be for God and others, then myself.
