CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Raising teenagers is a serious potential source of anxiety for me. The reality that I can’t control them keeps getting more and more obvious. My son turns 16 next week and it is reminding me that the main thing left for me to do is to pray.

“do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ESV‬‬

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This sucked big time. We were going to do it OYO but decided we would be able to push each other through the high reps if we stayed together. You won’t always have someone there pushing you to take care of business. Often at work or home you have no motivation to take care of your responsibilities but it must be done. Dig down in yourself and find the motivation to move forward.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We get great words to live by and apply to our lives. It took just over one hour on Thursday to completely forget the words Tractor gave us Thursday morning. “If Jesus was standing behind us, would you be embarrassed by the conversation or words that you were having/using?”. I had a homeless man throw a full two liter bottle of soda off the Gay Street bridge onto my work truck which dented the roof and scared the crap out of me. I came “unglued” and let the man know my displeasure. It is alright to be angry, however the words I used to express my anger should not be coming out of my mouth. I need to apply what I hear and know to my life. Control my tongue and keep my head during stress filled situations. Application is just as important as hearing the words given to us in the morning.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
AO challenges will be coming! We will be competing with other AOs for most reps of chosen exercise.
