CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Lt. Col. George Russel Barber was a chaplain who landed on the beaches of Normandy on DDay. He ended up getting stuck to where he couldn’t scale the wall in front of him and had to dig a fox hole to shelter himself from enemy fire. When asked about it, he said:

”I prayed as if everything depended on the Lord, and I dug as if everything was up to me. The Lord and I got that foxhole pretty deep”

‘Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, it knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn’t matter whether you’re the lion or a gazelle-when the sun comes up, you’d better be running.’ 

There’s a lot of important takeaways from this quote, but two things are shared between the lion and the gazelle that are applicable to our lives. 1) They know what they have to do every day to accomplish their goals and 2) They make the decisions every day to help them reach their goal, knowing the wrong decision can result in their demise.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

We are all used to having instant gratification. Between 1 click shopping on Amazon delivered the next day, to not even having to go into grocery stores to get food anymore. Our gratification timeline does not line up with God’s. Time for him is nothing like it is for us. It’s hard for us to be patient for things when they come to us so quickly now. He has a plan for us and it’s going to happen on His timeline, not ours. Be patient, and the things that are meant to happen will happen when He planned for it.

One word seems to keep showing up whenever I have reflection and that’s COURAGE. Two quotes on courage spoke to me last night.

One isn’t necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can’t be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest. – Maya Angelou

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. The soul that knows it not knows no release from little things. – Amelia Earhart

I challenge us all to take on life with courage, lead with it, share it with those close to you, and be a shining example in our communities. Lead with courage and don’t be tempted by fear.

MOLESKIN:
Please keep one of my employees in your prayers, her father suffered a major heart attack and is in the ICU. Also my daughter starts playing lacrosse tomorrow, first time ever. Keep her in your prayers that she is safe but also has the drive and passion to be successful.

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
– Michael Jordan

I have a tendency to always look for the immediate outcome and gratification in my life. Trust the process. Grind it out everyday with fitness, work, and faith life. We are going to fail. It’s not about this workout today. It’s about the culmination of workouts over the duration of weeks, months, years that make us who we are. The same goes for our faith. We might not have an immediate prayer answered but stay true and stay consistent. Put in the work with prayer, confession, love your neighbor and your God consistently and eventually we will get there. Trust the process!

MOLESKIN:
Trust the process.
