Three A’s and an F. Known as “four notes that changed the world” according to many scholars, or also known as the beginning to Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. We’ve all heard it. We know it.
– Yesterday, my wife and I had the opportunity to connect with other life group leaders within the Young Adults ministry at Fellowship, and listened to Brent Crenshaw teach for a few moments. Something he said stuck out to me:
– “It’s the white space between the notes that help make the music.”
– It had never occured to me that the white space in between the notes help establish the necessary spacing in order for the composition to go smoothly. No one really ever pays attention to the white space between the notes, becuase it’s all about the notes and how they come together.
– But without the white space between the notes, the Fifth would probably sound like 30-40 minutes of notes rear-ending each other in a never ending crash. Chaotic.
– Things are happening between the notes (like space/time/rest), but we just don’t see it or forget the importance that the white space between the notes holds.

Don’t negate the work God is doing in between the big things in your life. Sometimes, it is in the quiet space in life that God speaks the loudest. It’s been true for me. With the guidance and help of the Holy Spirit, the work that is done in the white space between the notes should not be dismissed or looked over. Keep at it. Don’t give up. In other words, stay the course, keep the faith, and fight the good fight. Take this truth and run with it today!

We explored the roads in Belmont West and Gulf Park and had a great time catching up with guys we have not seen in a few months.

Following the Ruck, we discusses being vulnerable, sharing problems, and being open to seeking help. These topics tie into the QSOURCE OTB that we are experimenting with on Sunday mornings to potentially have a non exercise AO that focuses on teaching leadership principles. This is continuing on the Grow School Leadership training from the GTE, and the concept of “unlocking” men.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: Several weeks ago, during Caveman’s COT you shared a health regimen that works really well for you: daily vitamin, creatine, magnesium, zinc, fish oil, ashwaganda, etc.

I Tim 4:8
“Keep yourself in training for a godly life. Physical exercise has some value, but spiritual exercise is valuable in every way, because it promises life both for the present and for the future.”

What spiritual exercises work really well for you?

How can you be as intentional with your spiritual fitness as you are with your physical fitness?

How can you be as intentional with your relationship with God as you are with your other most important relationships?
