CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Ecclesiastes 3:1-22 – For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing.

Acts 1:7 – He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority.

Jeremiah 29:11 – For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Joshua 1:9 – Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Proverbs 3:5-6 – Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

We all have seasons of change in our lives. While we may not understand it, we trust in God to guide us. We know he loves us. My Dad has gone from being strong physically to very weak after his quadruple bypass. My wife is leaving her job today after 21 years. Things happen in our lives and we pray about them, ask God for advice and guidance, but know we may not be able to explain everything that happens. However, we should strive to stay focused on our faith and it will guide us along the way.

MOLESKIN:

No one started dancing when I referenced Kevin Bacon sharing the Ecclesiastes quote while he was speaking to the City Council…I think it was because they were still warmed up from all of the Turkey & Dressing, Pecan Pie and Sweet Teas we had around JUCO.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Go to your dark place and see how you react or better yet reflect. Find an event that pushes you to those places. It’s therapudic to say the least .  Not saying to go to your dark place or isolate your self all the time but going to dark place can have a positive outcome. Spending brief moments alone in peace and quite can do wonders as well….go camping by yourself and reflect !
MOLESKIN:
Something about doing physical events that seem extreme to me is scary. I love diving into those black holes and seeing where it leads me. Doing the Heavy over a month ago, I went to my dark place several times but found ways to push through and be positive. The 5o mile Star course I did this last weekend, not so much any dark moments but it did push me more than I thought it would and enjoyed the suffering , if that makes sense !

Go find another event that sounds on the verge of impossible and make it possible

Looking forward to the next black hole!
