WARMUP:
Moseyed to front parking lot for some stretching. We also introduced Oak Ridge Hwy to the Monkey Humper.

THE THANG:
Visited each section of the parking lot where the PAX guessed the number of spots. Each section was assigned an exercise, and the reps determined by how far off the PAX guess was from the actual number of spots.

Workout attached.

Found a few parking spots I missed as we made our way around campus.

COT:
Shared a situation with my 2.0s where I didn’t initially want to engage with them while they were playing. I ultimately did, and could immediately tell how that improved their mood. Reminder that they won’t always want to play with their dad (mine are young), and we should take advantage of those opportunities while we can.

Three A’s and an F. Known as “four notes that changed the world” according to many scholars, or also known as the beginning to Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. We’ve all heard it. We know it.
– Yesterday, my wife and I had the opportunity to connect with other life group leaders within the Young Adults ministry at Fellowship, and listened to Brent Crenshaw teach for a few moments. Something he said stuck out to me:
– “It’s the white space between the notes that help make the music.”
– It had never occured to me that the white space in between the notes help establish the necessary spacing in order for the composition to go smoothly. No one really ever pays attention to the white space between the notes, becuase it’s all about the notes and how they come together.
– But without the white space between the notes, the Fifth would probably sound like 30-40 minutes of notes rear-ending each other in a never ending crash. Chaotic.
– Things are happening between the notes (like space/time/rest), but we just don’t see it or forget the importance that the white space between the notes holds.

Don’t negate the work God is doing in between the big things in your life. Sometimes, it is in the quiet space in life that God speaks the loudest. It’s been true for me. With the guidance and help of the Holy Spirit, the work that is done in the white space between the notes should not be dismissed or looked over. Keep at it. Don’t give up. In other words, stay the course, keep the faith, and fight the good fight. Take this truth and run with it today!

Enjoying the morning

COT:
I’ve had a few times where I’ve been challenged with some unexpected changes that have directly affected my and my families lives.

It’s natural for most of us to immediately respond emotionally whether externally or internally, and to start thinking of defensive measures or responses. But..if were honest…how often do we smile and think of how great an opportunity it is for our spiritual life or that we’re blessed with another challenge?

While that may not be normal for anyone, think about where you turn for support? Do you vent or call a specific person that you think will give you the answer you want to hear? How long does it take you to come to the prayer?

If our faith is Luke-warm or we don’t have a solid foundation, is not difficult to be affected by small challenges/storms.

It’s all like prepping and practicing…when something sudden and unexpected happens, the natural instant is based on what thoughts and muscles you frequently have or use.

1 Corinthians 15:58
“Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.”
