CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Exodus 2:11ff
One day, when Moses had grown up, he went out to his people and looked on their burdens, and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his people. He looked this way and that, and seeing no one, he struck down the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. When he went out the next day, behold, two Hebrews were struggling together. And he said to the man in the wrong, “Why do you strike your companion?” He answered, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you mean to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid, and thought, “Surely the thing is known.” When Pharaoh heard of it, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh and stayed in the land of Midian. And he sat down by a well.

Moses recognized the unjust situation of his people and wanted to do something about it… but he decided to take matters into his own hands and handle it his own way. Instead of helping the situation, he ended up on Pharaoh’s most wanted list. It wasn’t until he was called by God and led each step of the way that the people of Israel left slavery in Egypt. Be careful about charging into a situation with guns, or fists, or words blazing. Take a step back, seek God’s timing and direction.

MOLESKIN:
Not sure which one was worse… The 8-count body builders or the Crawl Bear Stairs.

I blew up at my family this week during vacation.  Ashamed of myself but I reached out to buddies in f3 as a confession and to seek advice.   They responded with great council and wisdom that I was able to follow and ask for forgiveness from my family .  Don’t be afraid to admit mistakes and reach out to the men in f3 .  It’s a humbling experience but worth it!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
When leading, if we put others ahead of ourselves and our own needs, the process is natural and fulfilling. If we are worried about how we will look, or how we will be perceived, we will be riddled with anxiety and our ability to lead effectively may be hindered.

Philippians 2:3-4

Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
