CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Stress, worry, angst, fear, nervous, anxiety

Stress is a normal part of life, we even have a whole set of hormones in her body, referred to as “stress, hormones.“ Stress can also be paralyzing, demoralizing, and destructive.
There was a time a little more than 20 years ago when I was pretty convinced that my wife, then, my girlfriend, was trying to check out on our relationship. She’s been distancing herself, mostly because she was afraid the commitment we were heading toward, but I didn’t know that. I got to where I was anxiety, twisted up inside all the time. I would constantly check my phone to see if she called or texted. In the midst of that, I found the phone.
“ “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.”
‭‭Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/59/php.4.5-8.ESV
Our society is currently obsessed with the shortest, quickest tip, or trick to get anything done. The reality is, there are very few, if any healthy ways to quickly deal with anxieties, worries and fears. These take time and practice.
  1. Find something to be grateful for, to rejoice about
  2. Find another one
  3. Don’t take your stress out on others
  4. The Lord is ALWAYS near
  5. Pray thankfully
  6. Tell Him your concerns
  7. His astonishing peace will guard your heart and mind
 
None of that is a quick tip. The principles are incredibly simple, but they’re not fast or easy. These take time, submission, and a willingness to hear from the Lord. It works, but you have to go through the whole process, sometimes over and over. Lean on a brother, talk to someone, post regularly. You are not alone!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

The Holy Spirit  – I often forget about this powerful and holy presence that Jesus was very proud about leaving with us?  

John 14:26

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things

Romans 8:26

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.

I leave you with this: 

Create some quiet space this week and ask the Holy Spirit to work in you.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Our company looks to hire people that have a curiosity for buildings and how buildings are put together.  Imagine going to a doctor and finding out the doctor doesn’t have a curiosity for how the body works.  I’m not sure I’d want that doctor working on me.

I had an employee one time that was young and new.  We gave her a project to design with wood and she didn’t know the size of a 2×4.  Was a startling revelation that she was designing a building with material she didn’t even understand.

This brings me to the below quote that I just found.
People in organizations need to develop a fascination for what doesn’t work. @kenblanchard #leadership

Just like having curiosity in life, everyone should have a fascination for what doesn’t work.  Having this fascination may lead you down a path where you find a solution.
