CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Galatians 5:13-14 You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

This week we celebrate America’s birthday and the freedom that comes with it. We are lucky to have the freedom we have, use it for good.

Defeating negative self talk. Stop and think about the conversation running through your head on any given day. Chances are that in the span of a few seconds you can talk yourself out of any positive change you want to see in your life. Small changes like setting the alarm for F3 or major life changes that you know are good for you can be easily dashed by that internal voice that say “I’m not strong enough, not smart enough, don’t have the drive or energy to make this happen.”

Bullshit.

Here is the truth, own it: You are a well loved son of God and he wants good things for you, just like you want good things for your own children. He has given you the power of the Holy Spirit to walk with you each and every moment of your time here. Grab a hold of that power, ignore the negative self talk live your life pursuing the good things your Father has set before you.

Continue to pray for the job opportunities for the PAX and spouses

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Everyone received a little grace today.  No one had to complete the three WODs outlined in the THA-THANG.  The “punishment” was taken away, the full requirement of the workout was erased.  Just like Jesus taking away the punishment of our sins and God declaring us justified through faith by his grace.  By grace we are forgiven, by grace the burden is lifted.

We have been forgiven and we are to be examples to others by forgiving.  Not always easy to do because of our human faults but, none the less, an expectation.

An incredible example of forgiveness and faith recently was demonstrated by Miranda Talley Reagan.  She was the estranged wife of Jimmy Reagan and mother of 8 year old Clark.  Tragically Jimmy murdered Clark before killing himself on June 15th.

On June 16th Miranda wrote a Facebook post.  In it she demonstrated forgiveness and faith that few emulate.  In the post she writes, “Compassion is the remedy for anger.  This was mental illness.  It’s heartbreaking this will be his legacy and that he was so tormented in his mind.  We will never understand, but please don’t hate him.”  She goes on to talk about the things that we tend to concern ourselves while raising children but she writes, “In the end, the grace of Jesus is all that matters.”  She speaks of God’s sovereignty and how she believes He will make something beautiful come from this tragedy.  She ends with this, “I could drown in thoughts of everything we will miss or all of the tiny parts of life he will take with him.  But he’s not missing anything.  This world has nothing to offer him in comparison to what he has now.”

Grace and forgiveness is something we all need and, more importantly, something we all need to give.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Lately things have been going great for me. I got my CPA license, got a big promotion at work, got a nice raise, scheduled a couple vacations for next year already, took a couple vacations this summer. Things are going really well. When I read the Gospel yesterday, it happened to be Matthew 6:19-23. Verses 19-20 read: “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and decay destroy, and thieves break in and steal. But store up treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroys, nor thieves break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.” This got me thinking of the story of Job and how he had it all. He had money, a family, status, and all of these other great, earthly things. Satan believed that if Job lost all of these things that he would stop worshiping God. Even after Job lost all of his money, his family was killed, and he lost his health and became ill, he still praised God. We all need to remember, no matter how wealthy we become or how great out earthly possessions are, to focus on God and where our true treasure lies.

Whats it like to be Godly and how that looks. We tend to “reflect” on past events and think we could have acted differently or come across more Godly than we did in the moment. I invited the Pax to start thinking more Godly in the present and even pre-event. This way to become a better and more powerful light of God on this earth.
