CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

From Four Pillars of a Man’s Heart by Stu Weber:

“Any servant-king who thinks he doesn’t need help is deceiving himself. We do need help, truckloads of it. Remember, it was God who said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone.’ But unless the burden of ultimate leadership falls on the man, then a man’s wife and even his children are not sure what role he is playing and how to support and help him. However, when the servant-king is clearly on his throne of accountability and responsibility, then those around him can better determine how to serve his need to be and function as God designed. But when he is on the throne, then off the throne, on and off, leading and then not leading, it becomes almost impossible for those around him to know how to help him.”

 

Be in the moment

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We made a stop on the trail and went down to the lake and just stood there for a few minutes to take in the sites. Lake was calm , sun was rising , a paddle boarding in the distance , just enjoying the moment. Yes, we were there to workout and get better physically but sometimes you just need to stop and be in the moment
MOLESKIN:
For me today was about just being in the moment. Sometimes it’s just what we need, for me at least. Yes, I am looking to push my self to the limits, I have a “why” I push my self , I love philosophy and learning about the meaning of life. I love looking deep into my why and trying to figure it all out. But, I love just being in the moment too.  I think I need more of it and really just enjoy life as it is. Look NO further than you have to, just be. Sometimes , we make it more complicated than what it is. I am certainly guilty of it and will continue to “go deep” into living life to its fullest. In order to live life to its fullest is to BE IN THE MOMENT! Go have a great day and take it in brothas!!

aye

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

The last couple day’s verse of the day I thought went well together and were just good for being a decent human being no matter what you believe.

“Control your temper, for anger labels you a fool.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭7:9‬ ‭NLT‬‬‬‬‬‬
“Kind words are like honey— sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16:24‬ ‭NLT‬‬‬‬‬‬

Just think before you speak. And be nice.
