CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Let’s face it men, we are sinners.  We screw up.  We make mistakes, saying I will never do that again, yet do it again the very next day.  Thankfully, we have a God who truly loves us.  That is so difficult to grasp.  It is easy to think of God as angry and judgmental, ready to jump all over us for our sins.  There are times in our life when we truly hurt, when we truly have messed up and we think, How could God really love me?

Yet, the Bible tells us of God’s overwhelming love for us.  God made and truly loves every inch of you.  Ponder on that today.  God cherishes you.  Thinks about that one.  God is always with you.  Huh, really?  Yes, he is always there, always walking with you.  And this God is a God of grace, all powerful, yet willing to die on the cross for you.  So walk on with that knowledge, that God is fond of you, has your back, and is always there.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Upcoming 3rd F Event will be at Outlook, 8:30 am on March 24.  Praise that Crawdad’s MRI was negative for any tumors!!!!

Your beliefs become your thoughts,
Your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions,
Your actions become your habits,
Your habits become your values,
Your values become your destiny.

-Ghandi

I can sometimes lose sight of what I’m working towards. Throughout the year I have to refocus myself because I’ve strayed from the path I wanted to be on. Whether because of some new shiney thing distracting me off to the side or because I backslid on my habits. I don’t have trouble making fitness and fun thing habits. Where I struggle to find my destiny is in work. Sometimes I just feel like I’m on cruise control and not actively thinking, acting and making habits. I think the hardest place to make habits and form our destiny is in the things that we like to do the least. Take some time this week to think of some place in your life you know you need to be taking care of business but haven’t been able to shape that destiny by making good habits toward that end. Make a gameplan to get it done.

The struggle with Pride is real. It can cause us to react to others negatively because we are comparing ourselves. We are competing with those around us.
