CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Encouraged the men to step out of their comfort and set into leadership.  Whatever fear, worry, voice, or excuses posses them it is NOT from God.  5 verses to prove this:

  1. Matthew 19:26

Has God ever asked you to do something and your response was, “Who, me?” It’s the enemy making you ask, “Who me?” The better question is “Why not you?!” You with God are unstoppable! And NOTHING is impossible WITH God! ”Jesus looked at them intently and said, ‘Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.’” (Matthew 19:26)

  1. 2 Timothy 1:7

Battle your fears, stand on God’s truth. The fear felt was not from God, so every time it creeps into your thinking, remind myself, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline” (2 Timothy 1:7).

  1. Philippians 1:6

If God calls you to it, He will help you, for His Word promises, “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns” (Philippians 1:6).

  1. James 1:5

When we ask for wisdom, God promises He will give it lavishly, “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you” (James 1:5).

  1. Jeremiah 29:11

Do you ever doubt yourself? Doubt your ability to succeed? Those are not your own thoughts. Those are lies from the enemy who already knows of the plans God has for you, “for I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11)

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
With the election all but over there is some amount of disappointment on all sides be it Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Green, Independent, etc.  Personally, I am hopeful that the Senate remains Republican controlled for the sake of balance of power.  As the saying goes, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” (Sir John Dalberg-Acton).

To put my disappointment into proper perspective, I returned to Romans Chapter 13:1,2,5: “(1) Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established.  The authorities that exist have been established by God.  (2) Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.  (5) Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.”

Unfortunately, I need to be reminded that God is in control.  I know His will shall be done.

Pray for relief from Covid-19 and especially for our students and teachers.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The words we played hangman with were, Guts, Resilience, Integrity, and Tenacity. ALL together makes the acronym for GRIT which was the last word. I hope we all have GRIT in some form or fashion.
MOLESKIN:
As a coach once said, “GRIT is the ability to finish strong”. Don’t just roll across what ever finish line you are crossing, finish strong and all the way through

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
It’s election day! It is my first time voting in an election. I grew up with parents owning a strong belief without compromise for the other side which steered me away from voting. We have becoming very divisive in society with the left becoming further left and right becoming further right. Over time, I have felt more of a duty to vote from those who have sacrificed to make this a free country where democracy exists. We have to learn to have constructive debates and open up our views to others. Love your neighbor. Know when to listen and when to debate. Overall, have hope knowing God is the king of this world.
