CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Shout out to Drifter for powerful testimony on Saturday for 3rd F. It really was awesome and inspiring to listen to. It challenged me in my own faith to not just sweep things under the rug but admit faults and confessions to believers. We should all strive to give testimony in life as we do not know who we influence with our words.

It was my first day back in church in months this past weekend as well. I had been out of my routine, stuck in my own rut without normalcy I had before. I lacked obedience during this month which led to running astray from God and seeking personal addictions. During this time I got away from scripture, prayer, and ultimately fellowship among faithful believers. Consistency and repetition are key in relationship with God. Immerse yourself in the scripture, pray daily, and talk with believers. It was during this time away that I became angry and waited for God to intervene instead of seeking to be faithful myself. Ended with one of my favorite scripture: Isaiah 6:8. Pray for God to use you and send you to complete His work rather than always seeking something in return.

MOLESKIN:
Isaiah 6:8

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Reflected on hardship hill and overall support and teamwork experienced. It was an awesome event where everyone picked each other up and kept going. As Christians and men of faith, we are called to pick up our brothers and sisters in this life and offer support. We never know how we may influence others with small words of encouragement in this life. A little may go a long way and be what someone needs to hear in time of need.
MOLESKIN:

Ecclesiastes 4:10

10 If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.

John 15:12-13

12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

Spoke on personal struggles of the week- feeling burnt out, tired, behind on work throughout.

Sometimes we just need to rely on our self discipline and grind it out some days to get it done. We sometimes won’t always be feeling it but we always need to keep going and put forth the effort as brighter days will come.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I joined F3 months ago and has been a blessing in my life in a time where I have self doubt and complacency issues. Waking up at 5am for a workout has helped discipline spread to other facets of my life. F3 has provided me structure and organization I needed.

”The most important conversations you’ll ever have are the ones you’ll have with yourself. You wake up with them, you walk around with them, you go to bed with them, and eventually you act on them. Whether they be good or bad. We all our own worst haters and doubters because self doubt is a natural reaction to any bold attempt to change your life for the better. You can’t stop it from blooming in your brain, but you can neutralize it, and all the other external chatter by asking, What if?” David Goggins, Can’t Hurt Me

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

A lot of current unrest in this world. Spoke on own situation reading a Facebook comment that made me want to make a quick decision. The Lord laid this passage on my heart the following day:  1 Thessalonians 5: 13-16.

”Live in peace with each other. And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone. Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else. Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

Seek truth in the Bible everyday and it will preach to you with a current daily struggle you may be having. Remember the first two commandments during this time and LOVE. Seek the word of Christ daily, make it simple, and do not make things more complex than they have to be.

MOLESKIN:
Music too low- turn it up! Pax almost wrestled a bear.
