CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I have 2 personal convictions I’m going to share.  Perhaps some of you need to hear this.
1) I talk too much. Much of what I say I hear at the same time you hear it.
When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains his lips is prudent.
Proverbs 10:19
Jesus says in Luke 6:
“It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.”
I’m not talking about swearing but maybe that is a part of it, I’m not sure I really care if you swear from time to time.  I am bothered by the use of Jesus Christ as an explitive
But have a filter and make sure that filter is Truth and encouragement. are words building up?

**Give thought to your words.**
2) God wants to work on not just my words spoken but also the thoughts and and my heart

A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart
and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.

what are you thinking? Would you verbalize those things?

Are you improving what you are thinking?
Perhaps it is best summed up by paul in Phil 4;8
“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure,

whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

**Give thought to your thoughts**

Fabulous Five

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Remember to say yes.  For me, most fulfilling times as a father are when our family and kids are laughing and having fun together.   Most of the time this happens as a random request to play a game or throw a ball or go get ice cream, etc.   As my kids have grown and reality sinks in of our remaining time together dwindles, I am more convicted then ever to make sure I say yes and try to prioritize quality time with each of my children regardless what that might be.  We still play hide and go seek in the dark and enjoy trying to scare each other.    The requests have changed over the years but my hearts desire to say yes hasn’t.  When looking in the mirror at time that has gone by nothing really was more important then making sure your children felt prioritized and valued.

Get excited about serving Christ.
this past weekend I had the pleasure of going to Tuscaloosa, Alabama to see my son’s girlfriend get baptized. What a great experience it was. She was getting baptized at a place called the church of the oaks that was on the campus of the University of Alabama. It was a newer church that comprised of 90% if not more students. the energy level, worship and message was great, The best part was the end. Once the pastor finished his sermon, he baptized Kyra. I attached a video link of her testimony below. To see her make that decision to follow Christ brought a tear to my eye. And I don’t cry often. After that, they commissioned close to 100 students that were serving either overseas domestically or at camps this summer. Ive never seen that much of a church body serving. And they were enthusiastic about it! So, why can’t we be like them? The pastor talked about how as adults we tend to say I’ll serve once the kids are out of the house, etc. or once I get financially stable I can do it. I don’t think that’s mentioned anywhere in the Bible.

Kyra’s testimony and baptism
MOLESKIN:

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.”
Philippians 4:6 -7

“Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.”
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

I had both of these highlighted in my Bible and they’re also today’s plan in the app, so I figured I would share them this morning.

God is always there for us! In good and bad times. Remember you can always lean on him.
