THA-THANG:
Mosey to the Ring around Rosey that looked like nested Russian dolls on Google map. Had no idea where we were or what area is called but looked nice on Google Maps so figured I would try it. There were 8 monument markers around the 1/10 mi loop. PAX spread out around the loop at each marker and started by doing 2 – 4x4s then lunge walking to next monument, 2 – 4x4s then bear crawling, 2 – 4x4s / lunge walk, rotating back and forth between lunges/bear crawls until we made it all the way around and completed getting wet for the morning.

Battle buddy up and started what I called a bipolar lazy dora by the creek head waters. PAX1 did 25 (1 or 2ct) Shoulder Taps, while PAX2 held plank, alternating every 25 reps until 100 reps were completed together. At 100 reps battle buddy together completed ~1/4mi lap around the creek. Next did 200 LBC in 25 increments while partner held 6″ leg hold and again stopped at 100/200 reps for more lap. Then up Squats/Al Gore up to 300 in increments of 25 with laps at 100/200/300 reps.

Mosey over to the square planter benches by the fountains between the buildings. Each PAX took a square and completed 10 dips on one side, 10 incline merkins on next, 10 decline merkins on 3rd side and finally 10 step-ups on 4th side. Then completed one bear crawl loop around the square and rinse and repeat until time was up. Majority completing 3 or 4 circuits.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.’” Isaiah 43:1-2

Especially in this current moment in time with the never ending talk of the coronavirus, it seems like it is easy to quickly get consumed by fear. The more time we spend with the TV on or surfing the internet those fears can only grow in intensity. But there are so many verses like above in God’s word that tells us to not be afraid and that God will never leave us in the roughest of waters. In God’s word is where we will always find our truth and our hope in the unknown. Today, fear can be present in all areas of our life, from health and well being, to finanicial worries, relationships, work, family, stress, etc. There is no doubt that coronavirus is serious and it is good to take precautions but when we allow fear to cripple us we are really selling God short. We are telling God that we don’t fully trust him with this part of our lives. Fear can cause us to try to reserve control of certain areas of our lives and keep them away from God’s influence. When we fully allow ourselves to not be in control, to give him all things, it is such a beautiful and relaxing feeling. But we can take faith that for those who Christ blood has redeemed have been set free from bondage and fear. We can always take our worries and leave them at his feet, knowing that we will never be successful trying to overcoming them alone. We are created in his image called by name like sons of God. We are His. We are protected like any father would do to his Children. Despite the roaring waters and burning flames around us we will not be overcome. He is with us in all things.
