CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Have you ever asked your kids to complete a chore? Maybe on this occasion they didn’t really want to. They eventually end up doing it, but not before dragging their feet, walking super slow, staring at the task and then begrudgingly start. How did that you make you feel? If you’re like me you anxiety kicks into overdrive and you start offering some verbal motivation.

Have you ever felt a calling in your life, or felt that God wanted you to move in one direction over another? Maybe on this occasion you said, “I’ll pray about it…” “Let me think about it…” Maybe you drug your feet a little…

What we know as Parents or as Leaders, is that delayed obedience is really disobedience. Next time you feel God pulling you in one direction or another, just do it! Don’t delay.

Do you think when Noah was asked to the build the Ark that he was hemming and hawing before he got to work? Or do you think he just got started? He didn’t even know what an Ark was…

If you feel God calling you into something, just step into it. Immediately.

MOLESKIN:

We’re missing Men from our consistent Tuesday crowd. A lot of people are sick right now. Please make sure to pray this week especially for Excitebike and the loss of his Grandfather, Junk & Family as they are answering a call into being foster parents and our community as sickness is spreading fast.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

After just a week off from COVID, I am extremely grateful for F3. The text check-ins and guys picking up the Q’s I missed were great, but it was the time away that made me realize just how much I yearn for ALL 3 F’s. It was the longest I’ve got without working out since starting F3 in March of last year, I missed my brothers in the Gloom as well. I’ve always said that the Fellowship aspect of F3 has been the most impactful for me, and not being in the Gloom for a week showed me just how true that was. I also slacked off in my Faith because I didn’t have the kickstart that our COT usually gives me each morning. 

Thank you, men of F3.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

2 Chronicles 7:14 – If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
MOLESKIN:

One of my favorite verses.  Stop trying to fix things on your own.  You can’t.  And stop being deceived by the thought that other people need to change their ways so that the world can get back on it’s axis.  Seek God, pray, and repent.  He will meet you right where you are, and he will heal your land.
