CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Where are you invested with your time?  Where you spend your time shows those around where your priorities are.  If you are out of line, like me, then focus your time where it belongs and get back on track.  For me, being more present while home with the wife and kids, as well as doing intentional things on the weekends.  Work sucks up an inordinate amount of time for me, and my family doesn’t need to feel like they are 2nd to work.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Mentioned Dead Poet’s Society movie and the phrase Carpe Diem that took on importance to me as a young adult; Phrase literally means “Pluck the day” but more commonly known for “Sieze the Day”; While a great motto and good mindset to attack each day, I felt it a bit short or misguided unless married with God’s wisdom in James 4; Read James 4:13-16 and noted the important perspective that God is in control and it is wrong to assume on His will; Read Romans 12:2 speaking to how we can know God’s perfect will; so I encouraged the PAX to Sieze the Day – If the Lord wills!

Each moment a miracle.  It ain’t pretty. I’m not pretty.  Forgive me for my mess. Please forgive me for my anger.  Thank you for suffering with me today.  You are my brother!

Watch this: “Good”- Jocko Willink

If you follow Jocko at all you have surely heard him say “Good” in response to almost every situation, especially when things do not go as planned. The video is linked up above and is sure to fire you up. 

With all of the stuff going on around us we can ultimately only control how we respond to things. I have found it beneficial to respond with “Good” and go from there. It helps me remember to take things in stride and take a lesson from every situation and get better no matter what happened. Good can come from any situation if we look hard enough. 

Ultimately, if you are a believer, you can say “Good” in everything because we know that the Lord is with us and He is ordering our steps. 

Joshua 1:9– “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

When God speaks, listen.  I am often discouraged when I go so long without hearing or feeling like God is trying to speak to me or teach me something. 

I went for a run this weekend by myself and listened to the last 10 chapters of Job. Not the most feel good pump you up thing to listen to while you run, but I am behind on my daily readings so I needed to catch up. It was actually very powerful and revealing to me. I loved hearing God’s reaction to Job at the end. God really laid it all out for him and Job just sat there, probably trembling, and listened. 

After I finished Job I had a thought pop into my head. I need to spend more intentional devotional time with my kids. I prayed that God would give me more opportunities to spend time in the Word with my kids. 

10 Minutes after I got back home Saturday morning my 8 year old daughter woke up and came downstairs. We sat and talked a few minutes and then she ran upstairs to get her daily devotional book. She read it then asked me to look up a few verses that were mentioned at the bottom and we discussed what they meant. Then she wanted to try to find a Christian cartoon on Right Now Media to watch. One of the 1st things that popped up was an episode about Job. She didn’t know anything about Job and wanted to watch it. It led to more discussion during and after the show. 

So within 1 hour of my Saturday morning; God laid something on my heart, I prayed about it and He answered it. It’s like God was making Himself known to me in a tangible way. So I’ll end where I started by saying, when God speaks, listen.
