CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

One good thing about Qing yesterday and having no repeat PAX today….I can recycle the BOM!  It’s still applicable!

We talked about resolutions for the new year.  New year’s day is a good time to reflect on the past year and put plans in place to make yourself better in the coming year.  2 Corinthians 5:17 says that anyone who is in Christ is a new creation; old things have passed away and new things have come.  This is refreshing to hear as we begin a new year.  We all have parts of 2018 we’d like to forget.  I challenged the PAX today to center their resolutions around being more like Christ in 2019.  If we draw closer to Christ and become more and more like him each day, the “normal” resolutions of physical fitness, time management, diet, fiscal responsibility, etc. will take care of themselves.

No suprise, with it being January 1st we talked about resolutions for the new year.  New year’s day is a good time to reflect on the past year and put plans in place to make yourself better in the coming year.  2 Corinthians 5:17 says that anyone who is in Christ is a new creation; old things have passed away and new things have come.  This is refreshing to hear as we begin a new year.  We all have parts of 2018 we’d like to forget.  I challenged the PAX today to center their resolutions around being more like Christ in 2019.  If we draw closer to Christ and become more and more like him each day, the “normal” resolutions of physical fitness, time management, diet, fiscal responsibility, etc. will take care of themselves.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

The new year is here and by now we are already making those New Year’s Resolutions.  To help inspire you and make those choices a little easier I want to share a couple of quotes.

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that.  Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” (As told to Gil Bailie by Howard Thurman)

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

-Theodore Roosevelt

In summary, I hope you each of you live this year with passion and enthusiasm, and find what makes you come alive.
