CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
-> recently I had my father message me saying where his last will would be in case anything would happen. And that’s the thing about life, we never know God’s plan for us, but we trust him and follow his words or his message. This got me thinking about the impact we have on people around us.

This led me to some song lyrics by one of my favorite bands, which are:

Just the other day I looked at my father
It was the first time I saw he’d grown old
Canyons through his skin and the rivers that made them
Carved the stories I was told
He said
“Son, I have watched you fade in
You will watch me fade out
When the grip leaves my hand
I know you won’t let me down
Go and find your way
Leave me in your wake
Always push through the pain
And don’t run away from change
Never settle
Make your mark
Hold your head up
Follow your heart”
Just the other day I stared at the ocean
With every new wave another must go
One day you’ll remember us laughing
One day you’ll remember my passion
One day you’ll have one of your own

Because of all the uncertainties in life, I’m asking you to create some sort of message for the people around you. What sort of message do you want them to have. You can make a gratitude list for the people around you, you can list off a set of values that you have learned, whatever it is. Make it personal for the person you care about. Let the people around you know they are appreciated.

Thank you,

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

2 Peter 1: 3-11: His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. 5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins. 10 Therefore, my brothers and sisters,[a] make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, 11 and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

This scripture convicted me and gave me hope. Lately I’ve been dealing with some wandering with lack of purpose and “vision” or “mission” , “why am I here” type of questions.  However, knowing my salvation is secure – I say “Well then, what now”.  I’ve gone through some major ministry “corrections” and “redirections” – and the path doesn’t seem straight – and quite frankly seems hard to understand.  Also being challenged by marriage – this verse caught my attention with the promise of the possibility of  “you will never stumble“.. I’m like, well I stumble all the time, so maybe this scripture has some good advice & wisdom I can glean.  For purpose and goals,  you can, for example, “Make every effort” to work on any of these things:

  1. Goodness
  2. Knowledge
  3. Self-Control
  4. Perseverance
  5. Godliness
  6. Mutual Affection
  7. Love

Those are awesome goals to choose and work towards.  Be sure to know yourself, pace yourself, keep it real, don’t overwhelm yourself, find others along the same journey and calling,  rise up to the call, know that you are not alone, hold onto the “great and precious promises“, know that our faith is a gift, we are not earning our salvation, but we are earning aspects of the “rich welcome” that Peter mentions…  Therefore — MAKE EVERY EFFORT!!  Notice Peter says that twice.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Today I wanted to talk about that criticism we put ourselves through and how it’s important to focus on self love and self care. There was a song that really stood out to me lately called “talk to a friend” by Slaves.

Tell me, what kind of man am I supposed to be?
When the lines the razor blade made are faded
Is there really any hope for me?
If a simple conversation’s complicated

I know everything I’ve ever done wrong
That kind of memory won’t let me move on
Though there’s bound to be some things that you ain’t told me
I could never be ashamed of you

I wouldn’t talk to a friend the way I talk to myself
See the voice in my head really needs some help

Step inside this is my confession
I let resentment turn into a deep depression
I spend the next five lines asking bad questions
How could I hit rock bottom never learning a lesson?
Do I deserve this hurting?
If my body goes limp, would I float to the surface?
Or can I live in a world with no purpose?
How could I change when I’m still the same person?

What I’m wanting everyone to think about from today is how are you taking care of yourself today? If you can’t love yourself, then it’s nearly impossible to love someone else or accept love.
