COT:
When faced with what should be an easy day, I often “play down to the level of my opponent,” or put it on autopilot. However, if there is a challenge facing me, I know I have to meet it.

The IPC is a great example. I can’t really just phone it in when leading or participating in this workout because I know it will be such a challenge.

I appreciate the men of The Quacken who embraced the challenge the past 5 weeks together and come through it with a little more grit and resilience. Let’s take that from the gloom and share it with others.

Abraham had to leave his ‘comfort zone’ to grow in his faith and become the father of the Israelites. Remember to leave your own comfort zone, whatever that may be, in your fitness, fellowship, faith, and beyond.

Don’t be afraid to pray for the things you desire. It may not come to fruition, but you should take it to prayer just as Jesus did in the Garden of Gethsemane. Matthew 26:36-46

COT:
Do you know what’s happening when you’re stressed? God designed each of us with this incredible response system hardwired into our bodies “fight or flight”. during Jesus’ ministry he encountered a woman who was looking for a way to take care of her stress. she was in pain physically, mentally and emotionally. Through all that she knew if she could just touch Jesus’ robe she could be healed and she was. Sometimes in our most stressed times if we juat reached out to Jesus, if we could just touch his robe we could find co.fort in our darkness.

COT: Windshield and the rear view mirror. Spend more time focused on future instead of worrying about passed. “Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”
