1 John 4:1-4 Let’s have the courage to stand up against the evils of the world, to test the spirits that are not from the Lord, to rebuke the sin and temptation that is so rampant in our nation and world as a whole, if we don’t fight it then we will be consumed by it; let’s be consumed by the SPIRIT OF THE LORD!
MOLESKIN
Glad to have some FNGs on a Saturday! Everyone was pushed and did a great job of finding their limits; not a single PAX gave up or slowed down past what was needed to keep going!

As we carried the CMUs around today, we also carry burdens that weigh down our lives. The good news is that we have a God that will carry those for us and we need to remember this in the times we attempt to take care of them ourselves.

It was HOT out there today but the PAX was ready to conquer the challenge. We went to work and broke a few CMUs along the way. Way to get better men!

Mayberry shared:

Proverbs 17:17 “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born of adversity”

I am thankful that we are all friends, and becoming brothers as we overcome the issues of not only getting up to make it to F3, but also coming together to trample the physical adversity and accomplish the workouts that are put in front of us.  Not only keeping eachother motivated to complete the task at hand, but to laugh and have fun doing it.

We are all in Knoxville for a reason, and we are all at F3 for a reason.  I do not believe that it just randomly happens, but that God is working in our lives.  We all have a plan for the direction we want our lives to go, but what we need to realize is that plan is going to happen according to God’s schedule and His plan for our lives.

“In his heart man plans a course, but the Lord determines his steps.”  Proverbs 16:7.  I encourage each of you to let God guide you on the course.
