ISI – Proverbs 27:17-20
Just as iron sharpens iron, friends sharpen the minds of each other. Take care of a tree, and you will eat its fruit; look after your master, and you will be praised. You see your face in a mirror and your thoughts in the minds of others. Death and the grave are never satisfied, and neither are humans.
MOLESKIN:
Take time to self reflect, check yourself and your daily habits. Are you hiding things from your loved ones, co-workers, or even yourself? Take the time today to deep dive into yourself, reflect and repent (if necessary); change the course and make things right before it goes too far. STOP attempting to fix ourselves with worldly options/solutions, they only leave us wanting more.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
My focus lately has been working to develop more effective time management skills. Pre-kids, this was one of my strong suits. However, this skillset has become much more challenging with two kids under three coupled with a more demanding job. Personally, I need to spend more time in prayer and in God’s word, but I continue to make the lame excuse of “I don’t have time”. Similar to my personal belief about God’s ability to provide more with 90% (or less) of our money via tithes than we can independently with 100% of our money, this same principle applies to time. It is purely about “relentlessly prioritizing” the important things in our life, and it is time for me to re-assess my priorities when it comes to how I spend my time on a daily basis.
