Look for ways to serve:
Sign up for a Q, give blood, volunteer at the shelter, look for opportunities in and outside the community, serve at church. In fact, Mailbox has an opportunity this afternoon.

You will not regret it. It’s rewarding not only to those you’re helping but also to yourself.

“For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Don’t Waste Your Life by John Piper
“Making Much of Christ from 8 to 5”
1. We can make much of God in our secular job through the fellowship that we enjoy with him throughout the day in all our work.
2. We make much of Christ in our secular work by the joyful, trusting, God-exalting design of our creativity and industry.
3. We make much of Christ in our secular work when it confirms and enhances the portrait of Christ’s glory that people hear in the spoken Gospel.
4. We make much of Christ in our secular work by earning enough money to keep us from depending on others, while focusing on the helpfulness of our work rather than financial rewards.
5. We make much of Christ in our secular work by earning money with the desire to use our money to make others glad in God.

COT:
NMTA Not Meant To Arrive
There are 4 Pillars of arrival:
Can’t arrive. This is a negative mindset. You don’t believe in yourself and we need to fix that immediately.

Has arrived. You’ve made it, now what?
You’re not trying anymore. Afraid to take chances, because you might lose the title. Do not stop. Continue to set goals!

Will arrive. Once XYZ happens, then I’ll be happy. There are people sitting in nursing homes right now, still waiting on XYZ.

Not meant to arrive. This is where we should all strive to be! Become the next best version of yourself. Enjoy the journey just as much if not more than destination.
My development has no end. There is always more to learn, always more to do, and you can learn from every situation and everyone.

Be “Blissfully Unsatisfied!” Brothers!

”Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.“
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37‬:‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Jan 20: Convergence @ big ball. Jan 8, 8 yr bday of Asylum-pm.
COT: [Fred Mitchell] accomplished no great thing. His name was linked with many Christian organizations, but he was the founder of none. He turned the feet of many into paths of righteousness, but not more than others of his contemporaries. He made no spectacular and inspiring sacrifices. He effected no reforms. For the first forty-five years of his life the pathway he traversed was similar to that of thousands of other self-made, moderately successful business men. … On that ordinary, hum-drum track, however, he walked with God, climbing steadily in spiritual experience.

This, I hope, is an encouragement to each of us as we step into this new year, in most cases returning to familiar paths and routine responsibilities. It is in the fulfillment of everyday duties that we live for Christ. Fred has left us an example as one who was always on the lookout for the opportunity to explain the way of salvation to those whom he met along the way. “One thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”
