COT:
Your Non-negotiable 5

The theme for the day is 5, obviously being the 5th of March. You see the number 5 in a lot of places such as books, articles, media, studies, and more:
– The 5 love languages
– 5 voices of communication
– 5 steps to living a healthier life
– 5 investments to increase your portfolio this year
– We have 5 fingers and 5 toes on each hand/foot (well, most of us)
– The song Mambo #5 (might not be a great example)

Humans clearly are drawn to the number 5 to remember things, to do things, to activate things in life, etc.

I’ve shared this before:
1% of your day = 15 minutes. When broken down into 5-minute increments of focus (example: 5 minutes of silence, 5 minutes of prayer, 5 minutes of reflection), can be a powerful way to purposefully take ownership over 1% of your day.

We’re in week 10 of 2024 – the 1st week in March. How are those New Year resolutions doing?

So while tapping into the number 5, the challenge is this: identify your non-negotiable 5.
– This week
– This month
– This year
– Your life?

Non-negotiable = not open for discussion or modification
– If there aren’t any non-negotiables in your life — everything is up for discussion or modification
– With others, sure, but also with yourself

I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.

just miles…
We did the old faithful route, and a lap around campus. We talked a lot about the upcoming GTE. The total mileage was around 3.5.

Our COT focused on a rough quote I picked up at Winter Jam over the weekend. It was something the band New Song said. Since I don’t have the exact quote, this is the paraphrase.

You don’t realize how much you need Jesus until you realize that Jesus is all that you have. Upon that realization, you learn that he is all that you really ever needed.
