ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: Specific to relationships…Whatever it is that you feel inadequate in, be curious, be teachable, seek counsel and pro tips. Ask for guidance in the areas of your heart that you feel inadequate. You can learn pro tips to share emotions, deal with conflict in a healthy way, pray in a group – or whatever else you feel inadequate about doing when it comes to relationships.

Proverbs 14:15, “The simple believe anything, but the prudent give thought to their steps”.

Proverbs 12:15, The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
But a wise man is he who listens to counsel”

Proverbs 19:20, “Listen to counsel and accept discipline,
That you may be wise the rest of your days.”

James 1:5, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.”

COT:
This is my 4 year anniversary of joining F3. We talked about the importance of using a back blast. I was able to recall from my first post 4 years ago the attendees, the workout and the message. Now that we have a new and improved back blast system, I would encourage everyone to record this data because it is important.
