CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
If you’re on the Bible plan Excite Bike sends out, we just finished up “Shine your light 💡 in the darkness “

There were a lot of things that resonated with me. We are God’s reflection and therefore have the opportunity to brighten this world. We can make it a better place for everyone. We can drive out darkness. We can light the way for others.
I encourage you to shine ✨ maybe even brighter than normal. Someone needs it more than we know.

This morning I read: “God w ill always be there to lead us home to Him, protecting and illuminating our path back to Him every step of the way as we declare the praises of His name.” So I felt this was fitting.

“I Am the Light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness but will have the Light of life” (John 8:12).

Thank you gentlemen for challenging me! I have nothing but respect for you guys.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Some encouragement for 2022.
It was a tough year for me personally with family stuff, covid, and work changes. Working remote was a surprising challenge that was unexpected.

I was reading a verse recently that I found encouraging and wanted to share with everyone.

Deut 7:9 –

Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations.

This highlights God’s eternal nature, his power, and his faithfulness above and beyond what would be expected. It also shows his involvement with us and commitment to those who choose to follow him.

Hopefully, this can be some encouragement to you for the coming year.

21 Tips for a Positive New Year

Updated for 2022

  1. Stay Positive. You can listen to the cynics and doubters and believe that success is impossible or you can trust that with faith and an optimistic attitude all things are possible.
  2. Take a daily “Thank You Walk.” You can’t be stressed and thankful at the same time. Feel blessed and you won’t be stressed.
  3. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and less foods manufactured in plants.
  4. Talk to yourself instead of listen to yourself. Instead of listening to your complaints, fears and doubts, talk to yourself with words of truth and encouragement.
  5. Post a sign that says “No Energy Vampires Allowed.” Gandhi said, “I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet,” and neither should you!
  6. Be a Positive Team Member. Being positive doesn’t just make you better, it makes everyone around you better.
  7. Don’t chase success. Decide to make a difference and success will find you.
  8. Get more sleep. You can’t replace sleep with a double latte.
  9. Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control.
  10. Look for opportunities to Love, Serve and Care. You don’t have to be great to serve but you have to serve to be great.
  11. Live your purpose. Remember why you do what you do. We don’t get burned out because of what we do. We get burned out because we forget why we do it.
  12. Remember, there’s no such thing as an overnight success. Love the process and you’ll love what the process produces.
  13. Trust that everything happens for a reason and expect good things to come out of challenging experiences.
  14. Implement the No Complaining Rule. If you are complaining, you’re not leading.
  15. Read more books than you did in 2021.

16. Don’t seek happiness. Instead live with love, passion and purpose and happiness will find you.

  1. Focus on “Get to” vs “Have to.” Each day focus on what you get to do, not what you have to do. Life is a gift not an obligation.
  2. The next time you “fail” remember that it’s not meant to define you. It’s meant to refine you.
  3. Smile and laugh more. They are natural anti-depressants.
  4. Boost your immune system and health. Eat wild salmon, turmeric, blueberries. Take vitamin C, D and zinc.
  5. Enjoy the ride. You only have one ride through life so make the most of it and enjoy it.

The Wonder of Christmas
Luke 2:7And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
Do we really take time to think about how incredible this is?  How incredible – the God of the Universe coming down in the form of a baby to reconcile humanity with Himself
This same God-child causes us to fight for our marriages
This same God-child causes us to raise our children differently from the world’s standards
This same God-man walked in our shoes so he can intercede with the Father with first-hand knowledge
This same God-man causes us to fight fleshly desires because we know our bodies are a temple of the Godhead
This does not happen (consistently) because we desire to be good, because in our own power we fail…this is because God came to us in the form of a Baby

Investing in others.  Building legacy. Advancing his kingdom – three part series

Part 1 (kick flip on mon): be grateful for those who have invested in your life.  Show gratitude.  Be humble enough to realize that many people paved your road.

Part 2 (commission on wed): Be a man who is investing in others.  Give of your time and experience.  Look for ways to lead by example. Counsel those who need counseling and share.

Part 3 (me): how to be a good mentor.  Characteristics of a good mentor are:  Listener, speaking truth, encourager, knowledgeable, and nonjudgemental.

Do you live in a way that can be considered an example to others?

“Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:3‬ ‭ESV‬‬

We’re all sinners and truly fall short of the glory of God but that doesn’t mean we should sit on the sidelines. We should constantly be seeking knowledge and relationships that we can learn from or teach in.

Mentors should still seek out other mentors. Some of the best mentorship’s are the ones that aren’t prescribed in any formal manner.

Think about how Jesus mentored the 12 disciples. He spent nearly all of his waking time in an effort to build them up

Proverbs 22:6 ESV

Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Proverbs 27:17 ESV

Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.

We can all think of at one person who has been a mentor to ourselves but have you told them thank you?
