INTENTIONAL
Webster’s dictionary defines Intentional as : done by intention or design : INTENDED.

As men participating in the 1st F of F3, we have an intentionality of waking up and going to a workout in the gloom. This is not always an easy thing to do, but it makes us better men. I have been a part of F3 for 1 year and 8 months. In that time I have done many things that I never thought I would be capable of, but it all starts with intentions.

  • I intentionally set my clothes and shoes out the night before a workout.
  • I intentionally set my alarm (sometimes multiple).
  • I intentionally eat better.
  • I intentionally drink more water.

These are all things that I do for the 1st F. But F3 is more than just fitness, we have Fellowship (2nd F) and Faith (3rd F). I will admit, I find myself struggling with being intentional with the 2nd F. I am naturally a loner. I like my time by myself. This is a problem. As I continue to accelerate my 1st F, I find that I need the 2nd F and 3rd F more and more. If I can surround myself with other HIMs that are accelerating, than I can join them and accelerate along side. It is the intentional aspect of joining others who are like minded and growing that will cause me to be better as well.

So I asked my F3 brothers this morning, what are you going to be intentional about in your life?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Standard: A level of quality or attainment. An idea or thing used to measure, norm, or model in comparative evaluations.

We have different standards in all that we do and we must meet the standards or the final product is not correct. God created the Earth and all that is in it and it was perfect. The fall of man occurred. The standard set by the creator was no longer met. God loved His Creation so much that he wanted to regain the standard. He sent His only perfect Son, Jesus Christ, who met the standard and IS the standard to correct the broken creation. We could never meet the standard without Jesus. We are viewed by God through His Son and we are seen as correct, clean, and meeting the standard. We are heirs with Christ. He is our elder brother and we need to carry this hope and joy with us and pass it along to those around us. We are sons of the Living God.

Galatians 6:2

“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ”

Whether your rich, poor, healthy, unhealthy… all of us face difficulties in life that we cannot handle alone. God calls upon us to help each other carry our burdens. Life would be almost impossible without each other. Look for ways you can help your friends, families, or even strangers.  You may never know what burdens they are carrying.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I spent the weekend attending the M’s 30th High School reunion. Made me think that pretty much the only difference between myself and some of the younger men in the AO are the “hills” in life I’ve climbed versus the ones they’ve yet to face. Today served as a reminder you have to be prepared to face the climb and to sometimes just keep climbing again and again over and over until you have conquered the challenge. Prepare for the climb because it’s coming, push yourself during it to not quit and climb it with your brothers. It’s easier when you are not alone. Your brother can push you and will help you through it.

MOLESKIN:
Prayer for the men that ran this morning and all of our F3 brothers!
