COT:

Yesterday was Dec 1, the start of advent. My family and I started an advent devotional and week one is about hope.

Advent literally means “the coming” and it’s a time of anticipation as we wait for Christmas. This anticipation and waiting is also a reminder of our greater hope as we wait for the return of Jesus to restore all things.

During this season remember the hope Christmas is a reminder of.

4 corners and angry bungies

November 18, 2024 BackBlasts

AO: juco
Q: Guardrail
PAX: Dart Gun, Pelican, Fetch, Wanderer, Windex, Booster, Archie
FNGs: None
COUNT: 8
WARMUP: SSH, Mountain climbers, Moroccan night clubs

THE THANG: 4 Corners, laps of 10,20,30,20 and 10 with Jack Jack Jacks (Star, regular, plank Jacks), Squats, Crabettes and Flutter kicks (or choose your own core)

Bernie up the hill to the PUB (Pull Up Bars), where bungies helped us achieve 30 pull ups each. Down to the CMU’s for 30 curls, then Bungie resistance run back.

MARY: Guardrail dips, LBC, Hello Dolly, Pickle pounders

COT: Be angry and do not sin. Do not let the sun go down on your anger. Eph 4:26

Am I allowing myself to get angry about the things God is angry about or do I get angry about my own comfort, preferences or agenda? Confession – it’s the latter. Am I showing my anger in productive ways or taking it out on the people around me?

Consider Jonah – and his unrighteous anger b/c God was merciful.
Consider Jesus – angry over God’s glory and the respect His law wasn’t getting.
Jesus’ angry wasn’t about his comfort. Jonah’s was. Be like Jesus. Prayerfully figure out what to get productively angry about.

“The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul. He leads me in right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff— they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.”

But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The Warrior Ethos (AKA Jedi Training) consist of 13 pillars: Commitment, Honor, Respect, Prepared, Faithful, Fighter, Hungry, Humble, Lover, Teachable, Firestarter, Truthful, and Generous.
Each one is tied to a Bible verse.

The master has failed more times than the inexperienced have ever tried. Let’s learn from our mistakes.

Commitment:
The verse for this pillar is Galatians 6:9

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

Love this!! Do good and don’t give up!! If you can do more, do it!! You will be rewarded. You are a child of the most high. God! Let’s go!!

There’s power in our words. Your belief in your heart creates your reality.
I am… You are what you say you are, so make sure it’s positive! I challenge you guys to try it this week. Remember God‘s on your side and don’t limit Him!
