The Quest for Halloween Decorations

COUNT: 8
We moved fast, and covered a lot of ground today. We were seeking Halloween Decorations with two specific stops in mind. We were 4 minutes late as a result, and did the COT on the fly during the last half mile.

COT Topic was about my daughter and critical thinking, as she was uncomfortable with a question in school. The paraphrase was something like why do we teach children religion, and the answer was that they are impressionable. She said that made her uncomfortable and we were able to have a great conversation about discernment, wisdom, truth, and religion.

Also 3 runners, Toretto, Mailbox, & Anchorman. 2 Dogs joined the ruckers, and I am sorry for the blurry pic.

COT:
NMTA Not Meant To Arrive
There are 4 Pillars of arrival:
Can’t arrive. This is a negative mindset. You don’t believe in yourself and we need to fix that immediately.

Has arrived. You’ve made it, now what?
You’re not trying anymore. Afraid to take chances, because you might lose the title. Do not stop. Continue to set goals!

Will arrive. Once XYZ happens, then I’ll be happy. There are people sitting in nursing homes right now, still waiting on XYZ.

Not meant to arrive. This is where we should all strive to be! Become the next best version of yourself. Enjoy the journey just as much if not more than destination.
My development has no end. There is always more to learn, always more to do, and you can learn from every situation and everyone.

Be “Blissfully Unsatisfied!” Brothers!

”Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.“
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37‬:‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬

COT
Screenshot of “For directions, set current location as the starting point.”

Beware of the traps that sound like this:
– When I get “there” I’ll__________.”
– After I clean up my act then I’ll____________.”
– Next week/month/year I’m really going to focus on_________.”

When this screen popped up in my car and made me think – this is exactly right. For the directions that you are seeking to advance into the next season of life, your current location (physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, relationally, etc.) is the perfect (and only) start point.

Challenge someone in your sphere of influence this week by intentionally asking them what God asks Adam in Genesis: “Where are you?”
