ISI – Proverbs 27:17-20
Just as iron sharpens iron, friends sharpen the minds of each other. Take care of a tree, and you will eat its fruit; look after your master, and you will be praised. You see your face in a mirror and your thoughts in the minds of others. Death and the grave are never satisfied, and neither are humans.
MOLESKIN:
Take time to self reflect, check yourself and your daily habits. Are you hiding things from your loved ones, co-workers, or even yourself? Take the time today to deep dive into yourself, reflect and repent (if necessary); change the course and make things right before it goes too far. STOP attempting to fix ourselves with worldly options/solutions, they only leave us wanting more.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
My focus lately has been working to develop more effective time management skills. Pre-kids, this was one of my strong suits. However, this skillset has become much more challenging with two kids under three coupled with a more demanding job. Personally, I need to spend more time in prayer and in God’s word, but I continue to make the lame excuse of “I don’t have time”. Similar to my personal belief about God’s ability to provide more with 90% (or less) of our money via tithes than we can independently with 100% of our money, this same principle applies to time. It is purely about “relentlessly prioritizing” the important things in our life, and it is time for me to re-assess my priorities when it comes to how I spend my time on a daily basis.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I had a quarterly leadership review last week at work. It was a fine meeting but I failed at the leadership improvement aspect. I’ve currently been occupied with supporting my team that I’ve not invested the time to improving as a leader. I’m asking the pax to help hold me accountable for investing time daily into my development. Including reading and take notes on my reading. Also organizing my learning materials to take better advantage of them.
MOLESKIN:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This is my fourth winter at F3 and I always love the beginning of Spring. It is a time of rebirth and a well deserved rest from the cold and darkness of the winter.  Over the last few months I have watched each man here grow stronger and more confident. Now is the time to pour that strength into new endeavors.  To commit more time to your families. To take advantage of those few extra hours of daylight, and to start those projects you’ve been putting off.  And as always it’s time to grow and to expand the PAX.
