CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Even though I know the scripture below says not to worry, God knows my path, it will be ok, I still worry.  I’m anxious, worried, and searching for my purpose in life.  We all know God is in control but we are human and have fear and concerns.  I pray each of you know God loves you and is in control…and I pray that I not only say those words but BELIEVE that God is in control and that I will be ok.

1 Corinthians 2:9 – “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

Philippians 4:6-7 – “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

Proverbs 3:5-6 – “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”

1 Peter 5:6-7 – “Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”

Psalm 56:3 – “When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.”

Proverbs 16:3 – “Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.”

MOLESKIN:

I used the sidewalk chalk that I bought at Guano’s garage sale. We’re going to miss you when you move back to South Carolina in the near future!

Today’s word lifted from My Utmost for His highest – the one from last Saturday:

What To Do When Your Burden Is Overwhelming

As we work together, we get closer. The same happens as we cast our burdens on God… Not that we cast them away entirely, but we shoulder them together and in so doing become closer.

MOLESKIN:
Only 2 more AOs that have not seen the memory cards… Look out Equalizer and Quacken!

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
5 PAX at JUCO today.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Acts 17:10-11 – The Bereans were commended for their eagerness in receiving the Word.  Not only for their eagerness, but also because they studied the scriptures daily to make sure what they were told was true.  We may think of our preachers, ministers, pastors, etc. as an authority on the scriptures, and, in general, I would tend to agree.  However, we need to be mindful that it is always possible for even those with a lot of knowledge to be wrong.  Look at Paul; he was very knowledgeable and zealous for God’s word, but he did not know the truth about Jesus.  Paul persecuted Christians for what he thought to be God’s will.  So, search the scriptures to make sure what we think to be the truth is actually so.

College Graduation – Saved by Grace

THE SCENE: 61 and clear…  Here comes summer
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER 

This is the best job every, since I’m neither a professional or paid, yall can’t fire me. As much as you might want to after you do this workout.  In celebration of my VQ 1 year anniversary, we’re enrolling in college again, so we can progress through the years and Graduate!  A year of F3 has had me feeling like I’ve graduated .. in a sense..

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH, Cherry Pickers, Empiracle Walkers. While moseying  to the “Freshman Wall”, do alternations of forwards and back crab walks, bear crawls and Gorilla shuffles (and a bernie or two).

THA-THANG: College

  • 25 Merkins + Freshman HILL
  • 50 Squats + Sophomore Hill
  • 75 Freddy Mercuries + Junior Stairs
  • 100 Burpees + Senior Stadium

TLDR;

At the CMU (aka Freshman) wall,  harken back to when you were a freshman.  Just doing a pushup or finding a class was a challenge.  So for freshman we keep it simple.

25 Merkins and run around wall.

Recollect that when certain people would for the first time, spend a full year at the dorms, eating potatoes and carbs for three meals a day, their thighs ended up being a bit large..  So we did a larger (from bottom to top) hill and

50 Squats + Sophmore Hill

Then, as a junior you were more refined, you were getting the hang of classes, and getting through the “CORE” classes as well as some of your major classes.. so:

Run the Junior Hill Stairs and do 75 (four count) Freddy Mercuries

Then, in preparation for the real world your major courses were kicking your tail, it was and is a long grind, you did what you had to, to reach the graduation finish line.. so

Run the Senior Stadium hill and follow it up with 100 Burpees.   Break-em up into sets of 15, then 10, and find a battle buddy to do whatever you can to graduate.

MARY:

In the spirit a of leave no man behind, we helped two HIM’s push through the last 20~30 burpess and made sure that everyone graduated.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

As you drop balls today whilst you try to do everything that is on your plate, think about how it’s ok.  Lay that todo list at the feet of Jesus and plead that he helps you prioritize them. You can not do everything, and it’s ok.  There are not enough hours in the day and it’s impossible to please everyone.  Step by step is how you do it.  No matter if it’s a 100 burpees, progressing through the tough college years, or a mount Everest of todo items.

Congratulations to all HIMS who graduated today!

MOLESKIN:
Ouch, I can’t move my arms.
