“The level of your commitment is measured by what it takes to stop you.”

What stops you? Fear? hardship? Pain?

With exercise, we can sometimes find strength from within ourselves.
With life we can push ourselves only so far without the help of God. Lean on his mighty shoulder. Trust him that he has you covered.

“We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭5:3-4‬ ‭

Moleskin: Great job by everyone this morning. we stuck together pretty tight on the trail and wasn’t much of a need to wait for the 6 to catch up.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Last week I had the privilege of chaperoning my daugher’s 7th grade class trip to Washington DC.  Friday morning before we left we were able to attend the changing of the guard and a wreath laying with taps at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.  It’s one of the most moving things you can witness there in Washington, and if you can watch that without misty eyes and a lump in your throat you’re a harder man than I.  We shouldn’t isolate our thankfulness and gratitude to God and these honored dead to two days a year.  In some countries, the gathering we participated in today could have ended in jail or worse for us.  Let’s try daily not to take what we have been blessed with for granted, and pray for those that are in worse situations.
MOLESKIN:
I hate that everyone wasn’t able to make the GrowRuck, but barring that I can’t think of a better way to spend the morning. I missed everyone this week while I was hacking up my lungs! Hope you men can avoid the crud going around. Big props to Peach Fuzz for rounding out the burpees with an extra effort! Great drive from everyone this morning.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Ephesians 6:10-17

In my reading in the book “Wild at Heart” I was pondering how prevalent the enemy is in our daily life and we may not realize it. The idea of Satan fitting into our theology is an easy enough concept but our modern age has a political, psychological, or scientific explanation for almost everything. We can often times read right past some scripture that attributes illness, depression, or misfortune to satanic forces but not really expect to encounter that in our daily life. I encouraged the PAX to understand how badly Satan desires to destroy anything that bares God’s image specifically our marriage. It is imperative that we as men know who we are in God’s eyes, and who our wives are in His eyes as well. if we meditate on this often it will be far less likely for the enemy to gain a foot hold in our lives.

    MOLESKIN:
    We/I like to think that I’m in control and am pretty awesome most of the time.  In reality, I owe any success to God who has put people/circumstances around me to succeed.  I need to acknowledge God and give him thanks for all.
