ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:
“Nobody cares what you can do fresh…” How we perform when we are fatigued is what really matters, in life and in exercise. Physically, mentally, relationaly, or in our work. How do we perform when we are tired or overwhelmed. We have a lot of people depending on us whether we are “fresh” or not. I am challenging myself to step up through my fatigue in every area of life and level up my performance. I challenge you to do the same!

COT:

Talked about Joy and seeing things through glass half full lens despite trials and tribulations life throws our way. Mom’s health struggles and subsequent miracle recoveries and positive attitude through it all has been a blessing in many ways and a gut check as well when I can be frustrated or down despite much better circumstances. Thank you for prayers and checking in. Means a lot.

COT: The Discipline of Confession
1 John 1:9
Confession is an opportunity to grow in humility. We have to admit to God and to ourselves that we have sinned. Confession is a good place to be. It takes us back to the foot of the cross. We were born into a fallen world. We sin against God and others and we are sinned against by other people. Confession is cathartic to release the burden of unconfessed sin before a loving and forgiving God. As Christians we trust in Christ’s sacrifice for the forgiveness of our sins. We should confess our inequities to God, David’s confession in Psalm 51 is a model for us. Also, it is good to confess sin to trusted brothers. I encourage you all to find a trusted brother that you can confess sin to.
