The Share (BOM):

Love with vs Love for. Too often we want to do FOR our family/friends/co-workers instead of doing things WITH them. “WITH” love encourages, models, walks beside, and holds people accountable. In F3 we have a model of what it looks like when others love us, hold us accountable, and encourage us through the tough times.

It was a great morning and the 25 strong pushed it and got better!

Thank God for answered prayers.
We are always quick to ask God to help. Prayers for ourselves, family and friends. But are we diligent with the praise? So many prayers are answered by our father that we forget to thank him for. Let’s make an effort to thank Him for our answered prayers, our unanswered prayers…for everything!
I am truly thankful for my brothers at F3 and how we push each other to get better in several aspects of our lives. Thank you Lord for my brothers!!

BOM:
This last week is my one-year anniversary at three. My first started it was nearly impossible for me and I was afraid of vomit every time. A year later I’m stronger, faster engine run longer. I recover much quicker for an eye and joy the active much more than I ever have some playing college football. But I haven’t lost any weight.

No, as it turns out I have been working out and exercising continue to eat, and drink, whatever I want whenever I want. As such I’ve lost 4 pounds despite the fact that I have put on much muscle. I realize, that if I am going to lose weight and continue on this journey toward fitness and health and being who I am supposed to be, that I will have to actually try to do what I don’t want to do.

My message to the man is that this is true in many years of her lives. We pour ourselves into doing things that we like to do, and conquer and challenges that we like to conquer. We offer ignore the things that we don’t like to do for their hard for us. This is true in our jobs, our families especially in a marriage is. A guy who loves to do projects will look for any project he can do for his wife as a gift to her, but may completely neglect the things that she would actually like for him to do. The same thing at work, we find the things that were good at stick to those as opposed to tackling the things we need to get better at.

I encourage you men to look at the various facets of your life, find the things that you avoid because they’re not fun, or simply distasteful, and start to do them. Don’t revel in your hard work that comes naturally to you, seek the hard work that you don’t want. I need to do that with my weight, and I know it’ll be a beastly struggle. But it’s worth doing and its worth doing right.

MOLESKIN:
Because of the Ragnar coming up I purposely stayed away from heavy running or excessive legwork. We did some squats today scattered in the rest breaks but I avoided doing damage to the guys and putting them off on the wrong foot for their race this weekend. The workout wasn’t quite as hard as I thought it was going to be, and I feel that we could have done more, but the man gave it their all and I appreciate that.

“It is hard to succeed when you keep beating up on yourself.  Understand that you are on a journey, and part of that journey requires failure, struggle, and pain.  So when you find yourself experiencing hard times, instead of criticizing yourself, see it as part of the process and stepping stone towards your goal.”  -Justin Su’a

Excellent prayer to start the day by brother Junk.

“Planning”
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29:11‬

Our plans usually don’t work out exactly the way we want them to.  How many of us have had a grand idea of something and had it all planned out in our head or even on paper only to see it change completely when we try to execute it. …But what we don’t realize is that God’s plan is not always our plans. It may seem frustrating and even painful but Gods plan is so much greater than we can even grasp.  e.g. Relationships, work etc.  …So next time that we have something bust up our plans, we need to know what plan IS solid. HIS plan for us.
