Trusting God
Story of Joseph, when he found out that Mary was pregnant after he was engaged, was not his plan. He was confused, upset and I’m sure heartbroken. But God had a different plan for him. God‘s plans were way different than his. And God‘s plan is perfect. an angel came to Joseph, and let him know what his plan was. That he should stay with Mary and take her as his wife.
There’s been many times in my life where my plants have gone to the wayside, and God has shown me that he is in control and that he always knows more. Job example. Trust in God is not always easy, it may be confusing or tough. But we must trust God that he has a plan for our lives, and we must let him lead.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

As a great Christian writer (George MacDonald) pointed out, every father is pleased at the baby’s first attempt to walk: no father would be satisfied with anything less than a firm, free, manly walk in a grown-up son. In the same way, he said, “God is easy to please, but hard to satisfy.”

I think every one who has some vague belief in God, until he becomes a Christian, has the idea of an exam or of a bargain in his mind. The first result of real Christianity is to blow that idea into bits. When they find it blown into bits, some people think this means that Christianity is a failure and give up. They seem to imagine that God is very simple-minded! In fact, of course, He knows all about this. One of the very things Christianity was designed to do was to blow this idea to bits. God has been waiting for the moment at which you discover that there is no question of earning a pass mark in this exam or putting Him in your debt.

Then comes another discovery. Every faculty you have, your power of thinking or of moving your limbs from moment to moment, is given you by God. If you devoted every moment of your whole life exclusively to His service you could not give Him anything that was not in a sense His own already. So that when we talk of a man doing anything for God or giving anything to God, I will tell you what it is really like. It is like a small child going to his father and saying, “Daddy, give me sixpence to buy you a birthday present.” Of course, the father does, and he is pleased with the child’s present. It is all very nice and proper, but only an idiot would think that the father is sixpence to the good on the transaction. When a man has made these two discoveries God can really get to work. It is after this that real life begins.

From Mere Christianity

  • Dips
  • Merkins
  • BBS
  • Air Squats
  • Shoulder Taps
  • Burpees

Mosey to the rock pile.

THEEEEENNNNNN we did 7 reps of curls, 7 overhead presses, 7 rows at the rock pile, then ran to the bathhouse to do 7 pull ups, then repeated for a bit.

Long mosey back to the #shovelflag to do some LBCs, boats and canoes (need to call on School Zone more for that stuff), Flutterkicks, then dead bugs.  Finally Kobra Kai (never dies!)

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.” – Jack London

Dude only lived to 40, but he lived.  Can’t be afraid to experience life.  Take advantage while you’re here on this earthly plane.
