COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
16 pax including 2 FNGs that Driftwood brought with him from work while they were in town. “Forgetta Bout It” and “Schnitzel”
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Sacrifice. I-beam spoke about our friend WaxJob’s relentless service and sacrifices that he makes for others by putting himself behind everyone else. A true HIM that we should look at for inspiration. Prayed for his mother-in-law and family. Prayers for Biscuits dad and the tragedy that happed on the lake with the teenager and older man.
MOLESKIN:
So the Q was very much winded during the work out. I haven’t been out too much lately and the humidity was quite a shock to my system. I was encouraged to keep going harder by several of the PAX, specifically the freak of nature Tweet-e! One of the things that F3 is so attractive to others is the fact that we push each other to do better. Working out or trying to get fit on our own is very difficult. If I was by myself today I definitely would have stopped and probably not have finished the full workout. Probably would’ve gone and got a biscuit too! So for this PAX member, I’m truly grateful for the rest of the PAX pushing me to keep going.

    • Rules:
      1. One Tag: A tree only gets tagged once

      3. Tag Turns: Be sure to take turns tagging/slapping a tree
      4. Cadence Call Out: The group also calls out the running total, not just the tagger. The tagger calls it out first though. the louder the better.

      6. No Poison Ivy: Pass trees that are surrounded by shrubs, ivy, waist high grass.
      7. Terrain Caution:  Be careful when running not to twist and ankle – trees have lots of bumpy roots around them.  And don’t hit your face on a rock or root when doing a burpee in the dirt.
      8. Milestones Celebrations: At 50, 100, 150, 200 make sure the group catches up and circles around the tree, wait a few seconds. Do the burpee.  Celebrating these milestones adds to the encouragement factor.

  • Wrap – up:
    • The Spirit and the Flesh struggle:
      • Romans: 7:19 For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. 20 But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.
      • Galations 5:17 For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please.
      • Numbers: 15:39It shall be a tassel for you to look at and remember all the commandments of the Lord, so as to do them and not follow after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you played the harlot,

MOLESKIN:
I believe in the doctrine of election because I am quite certain that if God had not chosen me, I should never have chosen him and I am sure he chose me before I was born or else, he never would have chosen me afterwards: and he must have elected me for some reason unknown to me, for I never could find any reason in myself why he should have looked upon me with special love. Charles Spurgeon

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
When Your Burden is Overwhelming (from utmost.org)
We must recognize the difference between burdens that are right for us to bear and burdens that are wrong. We should never bear the burdens of sin or doubt, but there are some burdens placed on us by God which He does not intend to lift off. God wants us to roll them back on Him— to literally “cast your burden,” which He has given you, “on the Lord….” If we set out to serve God and do His work but get out of touch with Him, the sense of responsibility we feel will be overwhelming and defeating. But if we will only roll back on God the burdens He has placed on us, He will take away that immense feeling of responsibility, replacing it with an awareness and understanding of Himself and His presence.

Many servants set out to serve God with great courage and with the right motives. But with no intimate fellowship with Jesus Christ, they are soon defeated. They do not know what to do with their burden, and it produces weariness in their lives. Others will see this and say, “What a sad end to something that had such a great beginning!”

“Cast your burden on the Lord….” You have been bearing it all, but you need to deliberately place one end on God’s shoulder. “…the government will be upon His shoulder” (Isaiah 9:6). Commit to God whatever burden He has placed on you. Don’t just cast it aside, but put it over onto Him and place yourself there with it. You will see that your burden is then lightened by the sense of companionship. But you should never try to separate yourself from your burden.
