COT:
The Way of The Warrior. In a world where there is so clearly a lack of peace we are called to rest and put our hope in the Lord who is the only way we will ever obtain true peace. We cannot control the environment around us, but with the Lord’s help we can control how we respond and the choices we make. Peace is intimately connected to hope. Through the hope we have in Christ we are able to truly find rest. A reminder is that in our many struggles and battles, we have the Lord on our side who can calm the sea yet also provide for the birds. Therefore, we can have the confidence that he is always in control and will provide the peace that we long for and that is needed to navigate our battles.

COT:
Walking COT back to AO due to time
Like the movie Groundhog Day, sometimes it feels like we are stuck in a never-ending loop. This was intentionally a monotonous, boring, and hard workout.

The point I wanted to make is that ,yes, there are boing and repetitive parts to our lives (taking out the trash, taking the dog for a walk, doing taxes, doing timesheets at work, showing up for our commitments). But we can be faithful to do a good job in small tasks, and this will benefit ourselves and others as well.

Prayer for certain requests. SYITG next time :v:
