COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This week a friend of mine from high school hit rock bottom. He was truly broken in all sense of the word. He is suffering from drug addiction and he is being treated at a facility as we speak. It is when we are broken that we can truly see the overwhelming love of God. We ignore or forget his gift when things are going our way and we “have no need” for God. But when your broken and then made new, you can truly appreciate Gods gift to us. Example of a light stick, breaking and then glowing.
MOLESKIN:

it was hot wearing a suit

Did the COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM: on the walk back down the hill. Encouragement to live and know and use as a resource, the infinite God we know and love to get out of any pit or “stuckness” we feel we might be in.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Over the weekend I was stung by a wasp that had built it’s nest under a table that I had already moved several times that day. After further inspection of my deck I found an additional 4 nests in various places very close to where my family and I regularly hang out. It was a reminder that danger is always lurking just beneath the surface, therefore, it’s important to always be on guard.

John 10:7-10 NASB

So Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
