[So just as a note, this piece is in terrible shape as is and I want to expand it as well as add to the topic at some point. Its a subject I think about a lot because I think its pretty important especially as I enter the adult world.]

As a son of God, I want to support my sisters, the thing is, I’m not entirely sure what that looks like. I don’t see a ton of examples of guys (except for my friends) my age doing that. Mostly I just see guys my age who have the same hopeful but clueless look on their faces, as I do.

So, what does it look like for a son of God to support his sisters? What does it look like for a guy to show respect and honor to a girl without it looking like he has a crush on her? How does a guy just be friends with a girl? I know these are not the typical questions guys my age are asking but let’s be honest here, the vast majority of girls a guy meets are not going to be the girl he maries.

What I do know is that as a brother I want to be able to defend my sisters. One of the biggest reasons I take karate is because of stories I keep hearing from my sisters in Christ about situations involving shady looking men or situations where they feel completely creaped out. Now granted a lot of the girls I know are better at martial arts than I am so I guess I would not need to do much, but I would at least like to be able to lend a hand.

These are the kinds of questions I’m asking and so far I have not gotten many answers, at least, not the ones I’m looking. So far all I’ve been trying to do is be humble and compassionate, loving, gracious and considerate. So basically how Jesus treated people. That’s great and all and it probably is the answer but I’m still having trouble with what that actually looks like in today’s culture.
