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.

Quickbooks brought to light inconsistency in his life. The effects of his own striving in every corner of his life.

Quickbooks encouraged us to seek the Lord while he can be found and to fully surrender to the Lord. Fight for Steadfast faithfulness and lean on each other.

Why do you do what you do?
Examine your motivation for the choices you make, the behaviors you prioritize and the commitments you make. Are you doing things because it’s what you feel like, because it will bring you acclaim or pleasure or money? Is it what the Lord is prompting you to do?
We all have things we have been prompted to do (or to stop) that we consider briefly and then elect to go our own way because it’s easier or because we like our way better. Today, this week, make the choice to do what you know to be right when the prompting comes. And when your passions flare about something, ask yourself why – consider your motivation BEFORE you act.

MOLESKIN
The PAX was a little smaller than usual, but the men pushed each other and were an encouragement for the VQ. The challenge was adequate, and the men were up to the task. No blood, no tears…but lots of sweat. Aye!

Do not be Anxious – Matthew 8:25-34

I have been challenged recently with some uncertainty about what I am going to do when I grow up.

And as I have been going through these I have realized that much of what I have been about achieving and experiencing and measuring my worth based on that.

And as with many of us I have struggled to trust Gods timing.   I think we have all be programed by the world to want answers now when that may not necessarily be God’s timing.   I have been prayerful and seeking his truths about this but I often find myself falling back into the same old desires and habits.   It should be easy right? God says to trust him so I should. I think our desire is to want the easy button.

Now tell me that one more time again God. What is the recipe?   I read a book, the bible, or hear a great sermon, or list to Captain and P-Nut. I want to be that and put it into action but still fall back into the same traps of wanting to accumulate more

MOLESKIN
Cool morning morning at the Asylum provided a great setting for the PAX work hard.  Spirits were high as always and we ended with group prayer for several PAX members.  Cap’n Crunch also announced that there will be devotions on biblical manhood on Wednesday mornings for those interested.
