Defeating negative self talk. Stop and think about the conversation running through your head on any given day. Chances are that in the span of a few seconds you can talk yourself out of any positive change you want to see in your life. Small changes like setting the alarm for F3 or major life changes that you know are good for you can be easily dashed by that internal voice that say “I’m not strong enough, not smart enough, don’t have the drive or energy to make this happen.”

Bullshit.

Here is the truth, own it: You are a well loved son of God and he wants good things for you, just like you want good things for your own children. He has given you the power of the Holy Spirit to walk with you each and every moment of your time here. Grab a hold of that power, ignore the negative self talk live your life pursuing the good things your Father has set before you.

MOLESKIN:
Continue to pray for the job opportunities for the PAX and spouses

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Everyone received a little grace today.  No one had to complete the three WODs outlined in the THA-THANG.  The “punishment” was taken away, the full requirement of the workout was erased.  Just like Jesus taking away the punishment of our sins and God declaring us justified through faith by his grace.  By grace we are forgiven, by grace the burden is lifted.

We have been forgiven and we are to be examples to others by forgiving.  Not always easy to do because of our human faults but, none the less, an expectation.

An incredible example of forgiveness and faith recently was demonstrated by Miranda Talley Reagan.  She was the estranged wife of Jimmy Reagan and mother of 8 year old Clark.  Tragically Jimmy murdered Clark before killing himself on June 15th.

On June 16th Miranda wrote a Facebook post.  In it she demonstrated forgiveness and faith that few emulate.  In the post she writes, “Compassion is the remedy for anger.  This was mental illness.  It’s heartbreaking this will be his legacy and that he was so tormented in his mind.  We will never understand, but please don’t hate him.”  She goes on to talk about the things that we tend to concern ourselves while raising children but she writes, “In the end, the grace of Jesus is all that matters.”  She speaks of God’s sovereignty and how she believes He will make something beautiful come from this tragedy.  She ends with this, “I could drown in thoughts of everything we will miss or all of the tiny parts of life he will take with him.  But he’s not missing anything.  This world has nothing to offer him in comparison to what he has now.”

Grace and forgiveness is something we all need and, more importantly, something we all need to give.

MOLESKIN:
Prayers for KY’s wife Kelly to have a great job interview today, June 25th.
