CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I have always been a competitive person. Some of this is my nature, but some has also been more of a vain attempt to appear more successful. Over the past few months I have been focusing on focusing more on what’s truly important and being a better man, husband, and father. My M told me of a quote a few days ago, paraphrased as such “gratitude is having enough of where you are, even if you are working for more” Work on being grateful while bettering yourself

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Be willing to share the need for prayer in the COT after a workout. I resist even sharing simple requests because either I don’t think it’s important enough or I don’t like to show/admit a need.  It’s pride that keeps us from doing it, but its a privilege to pray for each other. When someone shares a prayer request, remember them and pray for them throughout the week!

Warm up consisted of SSH (15), 10 Imperial Squat Walkers, 8 little baby arm circles, 8 Mountain Man Poopers,

THA-THANG:
We started off with a merkin exercise of bring sally up to the song Flower by Moby. This consists of 3 minutes of merkins, with holding at various positions.

PAX then took to the AO benches to do a battle buddy style beatdown consisting of:

  • 15 Derkins
  • 15 CMU RDL’s
  • 30 Dips
  • 15 Seated CMU overhead press

While one partner was working, the other took an AO lab. Workout was completed independently, meaning each PAX kept track of individual reps and excercises.

MOLESKIN:

“There’s three things, to my account, that I need each day: One of them is something to look up to, another is something to look forward to, and another is someone to chase,” McConaughey

I encouraged PAX to answer these three questions, and challenged them to be the person today they want to be tomorrow. Everyday we must make hard decisions to better ourselves and our community.

Proverbs 18:10

“The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are safe.”

It’s hard to admit you need help doing some things. Whether it’s mental or physical. Don’t be afraid to run to God to pray for help, even for yourself. And of course, your family and F3 brothers are always here to help.
