CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Your beliefs become your thoughts,
Your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions,
Your actions become your habits,
Your habits become your values,
Your values become your destiny.

-Ghandi

I can sometimes lose sight of what I’m working towards. Throughout the year I have to refocus myself because I’ve strayed from the path I wanted to be on. Whether because of some new shiney thing distracting me off to the side or because I backslid on my habits. I don’t have trouble making fitness and fun thing habits. Where I struggle to find my destiny is in work. Sometimes I just feel like I’m on cruise control and not actively thinking, acting and making habits. I think the hardest place to make habits and form our destiny is in the things that we like to do the least. Take some time this week to think of some place in your life you know you need to be taking care of business but haven’t been able to shape that destiny by making good habits toward that end. Make a gameplan to get it done.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA 
31 PAX including one FNG: Kyle Baisley email: [email protected]
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Discussed how we all face suffering in this life and that just like going up and down cardiac it can be very difficult. On cardiac we could persevere because we had brothers pushing us and encouraging us and we knew the workout was going to end. In life as Christians we endure suffering and face many trials. We are able to face these trials because we have hope in eternity with Christ and we have other Christian brothers and sisters who help encourage us and carry these burdens. Encouraged the PAX to go out and help carry burdens of those suffering and to remind those suffering of the fact that we have an eternal hope and that their suffering won’t last forever.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

43 strong this morning – No FNG’s

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Be content with the gifts and blessings that God grants you. We all fall into the trap of wanting more…..just a little more money, a little bigger house, a nicer vehicle, just a little more time, a little more grace from our spouses. The bottom line, though, is that no matter how much “more” we have in terms of worldly possessions, it will never provide the fulfillment and joy that we are seeking. No matter how much “better” our circumstances become, we will never be satisfied. We must avoid the temptation to keep wanting more, and instead, be content and thankful for everything that God has already given to us.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

3rd F event coming up this Sunday (2/4) at the Wesley House. Workout starts at 2 pm and will be a great way to give back to the community.
