CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
With the new year, it is a good opportunity to reorient on what is important and make a plan to invest time in those important things constantly. It took me like 3 or 4 times of listening to my boss deliver the same time/life management class before it really sunk in with me to invest small amounts of time regularly in the important things in my life. I encourage you to think about what is really important and prioritize time invested in those things.
MOLESKIN:
What are the top 3 most important things in your life?

How should we wisely spend out time

  • In light of my past experiences
  • In light of my current responsibilities
  • In light of my future hopes and dreams
  • There is a cumulative value to investing small amounts in certain activities over a long period of time
  • There are rarely any immediate consequences for neglecting single installments of time in any arena of life
  • Neglect has a cumulative effect
  • There is no cumulative value to the urgent things that we allow to interfere with the important things.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Shout out to Drifter for powerful testimony on Saturday for 3rd F. It really was awesome and inspiring to listen to. It challenged me in my own faith to not just sweep things under the rug but admit faults and confessions to believers. We should all strive to give testimony in life as we do not know who we influence with our words.

It was my first day back in church in months this past weekend as well. I had been out of my routine, stuck in my own rut without normalcy I had before. I lacked obedience during this month which led to running astray from God and seeking personal addictions. During this time I got away from scripture, prayer, and ultimately fellowship among faithful believers. Consistency and repetition are key in relationship with God. Immerse yourself in the scripture, pray daily, and talk with believers. It was during this time away that I became angry and waited for God to intervene instead of seeking to be faithful myself. Ended with one of my favorite scripture: Isaiah 6:8. Pray for God to use you and send you to complete His work rather than always seeking something in return.

MOLESKIN:
Isaiah 6:8

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
