CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

BOM

BOM

  • Plan your workout – Actually write it down and get someone who has Q’d before to review it.
  • Better to have too much than not enough
  • Have an alternative Plan! for rain, weather size of PAX etc.
  • Welcome everyone
  • Use good form
  • Cadence- Inflection and recover and practice out loud!

BOM

“Today you will spend solitary moments of conversation with yourself, either listing your complaints or counting your blessings.”

“Think with me for a moment. Do you live a life of blessing or complaint?

  • easy to find fault, discontent.
  • easy to be irritated and impatient.
  • easy to groan and moan about the difficulties of life
  • easy to be dissatisfied.

Why are these things so easy? Well, they’re easy because sin still causes us to make it all about us. ”

“Our readiness to complain is another argument for the forgiving and rescuing grace that Jesus, without complaint, willingly died to give us.”

Saint Francis Prayer

Lord make me an instrument of your peace
Where there is hatred let me sow love
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubt, faith
Where there is despair, hope
Where there is darkness, light
And where there is sadness, joy

O divine master grant that I may
not so much seek to be consoled as to console
to be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love
For it is in giving that we receive
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned
And it’s in dying that we are born to eternal life
Amen

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

” I see you” – Jim Branch/God
– I recently had the pleasure of hearing Jim Branch speak and he talked about how God sees us.
– He volunteers as a chaplain for one of the high school football teams in Knoxville and he would see that during practice, one of the seniors who was on the sidelines would call out to the players on the field when they did something good that went un-noticed.
– And he would yell – “I see you – okay, I see you” – letting them know that the efforts they were making were not unseen or un-noticed.
– He went on to talk about his son running track in high school and seeing the other kids run around the track and feeling the excitement for them but when HIS son came around, he saw him from a distance and kinda stood up on his feet because he saw him. He saw his son coming around the track and was filled with so much joy!
– That’s how God sees us. He sees you and is so delighted and overjoyed because you are His son. I love that we have a heavenly father that sees us like that
– This week I want to challenge all of us to see each other. I challenge you to see someone this week. Be that voice of affirmation – “I see you” And also understand how our heavenly father sees us.
