CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Sometimes, we go through valleys in our lives. The crap and bags of problems don’t go away. Leaders grab a hold of that bag, and do what they can to help. And great Leaders come along side others to help them pull. ESPY is one of those leaders, and I (Drifter) am super excited to pass the AOQ flags over to ESPY. He and His family have often come along side me and mine in the midst of our valleys. I know he will continue to lift up those around him, but he needs us to take a handle of the bag too.

“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭19:14‬

What we take in with our ears and eyes is what the words of our mouths become and will be what we mediate on in our heart. Reading the Bible, praying, and spending time with others that have similar beliefs all help us take in good things so when we are pressured and squeezed by life, what comes out is honoring to God.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
John 15:19 – If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

As HIMs in this world, YHWH calls us to be different.  It is easy to conform to the ways of this world when society tells you what a man should be when in reality, our only example should be Yeshua (Jesus).  He showed us what it was to love unconditionally, teach without belittling, motivate without yelling, and be not of this world but in this world because the world will hate us when we are not conforming to its standard.  We should always be on the lookout for the enemy attacking us and trying to tell us that “it’s not that bad, is it really?”  Everything we do, we should do for the glory of YHWH because even if nobody else is looking, he is and he’s the only one that matters.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
CSAUP (Completely Stupid and Utterly Pointless – especially at this time) in Oak Ridge on May 6 from 9 PM to midnight.  #thespeedway guys are only going on Tuesday and Thursday so strong encouragement to post at other AOs to get more involved.  Convergence (all Knoxville area AOs get together for massive workout) in July at JUCO.
