I'm not exactly sure why I feel this, but I have since my early twenties.
"and to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you" 1 Thess 4:11
Alright so this verse. This one verse hits me like a ton of bricks. I'm not sure if it's because I am a man, but the part where it says "and to work with your hands" convicts me. I work as a sales representative (which in no way am I saying this is a bad thing) It's just, I do not work with my hands... at all. I sell things. That's my job, which is nice and all, but I sometimes get envious of men who do labor and build and feel like they accomplished something with their own hands.
I can do basic things. Like hang a t.v., hang curtains, hang a picture... but when my wife wants something built that she see's on the internet... I'm clueless, and I despise it.
I don't know, just rambling out my thoughts, wondering if anyone has felt this way.
