Moving Day...
Just moved to huntersville NC on Monday...you gotta love being 25 and single. Chad (mcghee) and I moved all our stuff in about a 1/2 day. I looked a the 3/4 full trailer with all my stuff piled up on it, i thought..hmm...there goes my life...(thanks kenny) Chad's trailer load was a little more full than mine but even still i realized that we are typical 20 somethings. Did you know that the average 20 something has 6 different addresses, 5 different careers, and God only knows how many different cell phone numbers/plans/service providers in that 10 yr. span....? I heard Louie Giglio (passion founder/ 722 speaker) talk about how our generation is characterized by a lack of commitment and unsettledness. Is it true? Most of our parents were already settled in their jobs and were popping us out by the time they turned the ripe ole age of 21. Are we afraid to settle down? Are we afraid being called an adult? I don't think I am...but at the end of the day im 25 and moving again.... Maybe it's a reflection of our society. It seems like now more than ever there is an push towards not committing...leaving our options open....finding the best deal...the best plan....no loayalty....wait till something better comes along and jump ship.... I wonder if we always leave all of our options open then will we really ever attain anything? This is not an attempt to try to throw a blanket statment over all of us 20 somethings...just a few thoughts i had while looking at my 3/4 full trailer...

i was just thinking the same thing today. i started reading this http://www.quarterlifecrisis.com/ in the bookstore the other day and it was talking about the same thing. didn't buy it, i'm too cheap. i think this commitment-phobia is the reason so many of us r still single. the fact that we live in the south makes it even worse i think. anyway i'm with u. i was thinking of getting a fish but the whole commitment part of feeding it is just too much! have u seen garden state? perfect 20-something movie!
by the way..do u follow ur own phone rules? just wondering...
having just had my engagement broken off by, "someone who loves me..." makes me feel as if your statements are very true.
Times are changing. I wonder if our lack of commitment in life with jobs/residency/churches/ ect. affects our relationship with Christ. Do we truly commit to him? Or do we serve Him until the next best thing comes along.?.
good thoughts candice...i wonder...i know there are many on this blog world that are married and settled so please dont think that im making a blanket statement for all 20 somethings...yes amber i follow them. Never ask me that again
