COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Do your priorities match how you spend your time?  Time is arguably our greatest commodity.  It’s easy to say what our priorities in life are, but how we spend our time reflects the true importance.  Does your time spent on life activities reflect your priorities?  If not, how do you reconcile that?  I have teenage daughters that will be moving to college in the next few years.  Spending time with them now is a priority, but why do we waste time on smartphones and social media when the most precious things are right in front of us?  My challenge for myself, and anyone willing to take up the challenge would be to reconcile your goals and priorities against the way you spend time, and see if it is a true reflection, or needs some adjusting.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

What are you wrestling with? 

Sin? – That’s great news! That means that you have the Holy Spirit in you.

Your faith? – Again, great news! God knows that we have up and down moments in our lives that challenge our faith. Keep wrestling with God. That way is better than the alternative of walking away from him. 

F3?  – Is it just me? Some weeks I’m on fire for F3 and specifically Shamrock. Other weeks I’m like that Homer Simpson disappearing into the shrubs animation. I’ll just be checked out. Other weeks, I wrestle with F3. Why am I doing it? It is good for me? Physically? Spiritually? Mentally? Should I be coming out here 3-5 days a week?

Your marriage / kids? Same thing. If I’m wrestling with it, at least I’m engaged and fighting for it. 

Your job?  – I feel like this is also a constant. Am I supposed to be here? Am I making a difference? Am I happy? Will I have a job in 6 months? Does God want me to be here? 

So I will wrap it up by encouraging you to keep wrestling. It shows that you care. Just don’t wrestle with it alone. I know there are brothers here that would love to be your coach, cheerleader, friend to walk with you through your wrestling.
