CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Joshua 1:9 – Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified, do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

In our day to day life we have a whole lot fewer things that would make a person terrified than they did in Joshua’s day. However, there are definitely a whole lot of things that can add up to bring a world of discouragement. I had a few things happen this week at home that really piled on that discouragement side, so this verse coming up in the message yesterday at church was quite timely, and I hope it can encourage you as well.

MOLESKIN:
It’s a good thing I had signed up to Q today, or I might have ended up in the fartsack… Good to work with you guys today!

17 crushed it this morning!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I would venture to guess that most of the PAX attend worship services at a local church on at least a semi-regular basis. How many of that same group study the Bible daily on their own? How many serve others regularly? How many teach others the Word of God?

My M and I have had discussions in the past about the danger of outsourcing our faith. Do we rely on the leadership of the church to perform all the work? Do we rely on them to do all of the Bible studying? What about serving those in need? Unfortunately, YHC fully admits to this happening a lot in our house. I don’t spend time in the Word as I should and I don’t serve God the way I should around the community.

This is something that I am working on. If you have the same struggle, I encourage you to work on it and reach out for help. Help those around you to be accountable as well.
MOLESKIN:
Had to audible the workout. When we finished the 4×4’s, we were supposed to repeat the four corners with Prison Cell Merkin Burpees, but YHC quickly realized that we would not even close to have the time for them. My gift to all of the JUCO PAX today.
