CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Talked about inner peace and 5 steps that have helped the Q obtain inner peace: 1) Trust totally in Christ. This settles where you are headed when you die. 2) Trust in God’s sovereignty and control over all things, even the small details of your life. This eliminates fear. 3)  Trust the Lord to meet all of your needs. Takes care of the constant desire for more. 4) Maintain a clear conscience. Helps protect your inner peace. 5) Accept the way God made you.  You can’t change things that are outside of your control. Trust Him with those things.

MOLESKIN:
Ribbed was on Q but slept thru his alarm. Trolley (JUCO’s newly appointed Executioner) will decide his fate upon his next appearance at JUCO.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Paraphrased C.S. Lewis- I want to live my life such that when I die, ALL of hell rejoices knowing that I’m out of the fight.  To be fighters, we not only have to be physically ready, but mentally as well.  I carried a rucksack through the beatdown to represent the burdens that we bear.  1 Peter 5 says “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, CASTING ALL YOUR ANXIETIES ON HIM because he cares for you.”  As men, we tend to treat this action like fishing, and we cast our anxieties, burdens, and worries on God, only to reel them back in like a crank-bait.  We have to find a way to cut the line, and that can only be done through teamwork.  Use your support structure, use the team that has been created for you, not only at home, but within the brotherhood of F3.  The enemy prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.  We have to fight as a team, dropping our excess burdens in preparation for the fight.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Tomorrow is the deadline for the pre-order on Bro-lympics shirts, we need 2 more to complete it so that they’ll print them!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Isaiah 54:10 – “For the mountains may depart and the hills may be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my convenient of peace shall not be removed”.

As we go through each day with distractions, sporting events, kids, work, trials and temptations, etc…. we can find ourselves at the end of the week exhausted and looking back we did not spend anytime growing in our faith with the Lord.  Things will fade away, but have the reminder that God is a constant steadfast love that will never go away.  Set time aside to build others up and grow your faith each week.

MOLESKIN:
Pray for Booster’s daughter.

  • Mosey back to AO, complete side crunches to run out the clock.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“Greater love hath no man that to lay down his life for a friend”, many have made that sacrifice, but it sucks for everyone involved. I pray that none of you are ever put into that type of situation. “Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church”- we’re not getting nailed to a cross for them, so how do we love them? Visit 1 Corinthians 13- Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful…” If someone asked your wife to describe you, in full honesty, would patient and kind be the first words out of her mouth? Honestly, I’d be 0 for 9 on that list. As HIMs, we need to strive to be better at love, toward our neighbor, our family, our friends. We need to bring peace with us wherever we walk, not chaos. Walk into your home, your work, your church, your life, prepared to be humble and peaceful.
