CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Today, my son turned six months old, exactly 1% of Respect. This led me to reflect on the influence that I have, and even more so on the influence that I don’t have. It’s important to put in the effort, but in the end, Psalm 127 captures the reality well:

1Unless the Lord builds the house,
the builders labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the guards stand watch in vain.
2In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
for he grants sleep to those he loves.
Don’t exaggerate your own power over the world. Each of us is expected to labor, but if we labor against the Lord, it is in vain. So, align yourself with your Father in heaven. Only then will you find true success.

MOLESKIN:
Projectivators are really unpleasant wearing a ruck.

Welcome to @incoming!  He was going to be Hammock but that was taken.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Acts 3:19-20 Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out. that times of refressingh may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus

At conversion, repentance is a turn from a way that says I can do it on my own.
I’m turning to Jesus, not trusting in my ability to earn heaven, but accepting it from Him.
That’s likely a very familiar message. Vitally important
but it is not a 1 time event. We must grow in our ability to repent.
As we get older we loose elasticity in our muscles, our legs need more stretching.
Especially if we are growing stronger in other areas.
We need to stretch more and more and repentance is that stretch.
Our brains lose elasticity too, but by God’s grace He makes old things new again.
We can grow in our grace, soften, love deeper, forgive faster, be more humble while greater.
Invite Christ into every aspect of yoru life. Refreshing comes from the presence of the Lord.
It is a call to action. I was one way, now I’m different.
It is a change. Change is hard, but consider what God wants to change in you.
I was selfish/lazy/consumed by work/obsessed with fitness/obsessed with hobbies/only focused on my world.
There is a a beautiful story on the other side of “but now I’m different.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I heard a passage on Sunday and then again on Monday when Kick Flip referenced it at Shamrock…
“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.” (1 John 2:15-17)

God made this beautiful world and all of the good things in it, but the “from the world” John talks about in verse 16 is a reference to our hearts and the importance we place on those things and stuff.

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven….For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” John was talking about our hearts. Our treasure.

Another question that got me recently was “If someone were to ask your children what does your father love the most, or think the most about?” What would they say??

Life is fleeting. Think about the time you have left here and where you are investing it. Is it God honoring? Is it eternal or does it collect dust? Make your treasure something that matters!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Lately, I’ve been running close to my house and my 4-year-old son, Paul, wanted to join me one day. Around the 1-mile point, he slipped on some gravel and cut his hand up pretty good. There were tears and we took a couple of minutes to reset, but he got back up and ran the half mile back home. Of course, I was proud and I’ve used that story over and over with him when he needs some extra encouragement, reminding him of how tough and brave he can be.

T-claps to 5K for his openness last Friday. I appreciate the courage to speak out about a very important topic. As I was thinking about his words, I kept coming back to the story with my son. It’s easy to become discouraged when we stumble and fall, but it’s getting back up again when our Father holds out his hand that’s important.

Proverbs 24:16 (NLT) – The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again. But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.
