CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Last Friday Spotter passed the flag to me. I’m very honored and hope to do YOU and JUCO justice.

I wanted to take a minute to thank Spotter for his leadership. He did a great job as our AOQ. He exemplifies what a true HIM is. He pushed us to be better on and off the court. As I’m sure he will continue to do.

I think it’s really cool that he was able to catch some random guy jogging through the parking lot and bring him into F3. And then to be able to pass the flag off to the person he recruited. That’s exactly what we’re supposed to do.

Truth is he found a broken man and gave him hope and another chance. I’m so thankful he did!

“A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.”
Luke 6:45 NIV

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

If your spiritual life is in a rut, maybe it’s not big changes you need.  If your not being fruitful or it’s ineffective take little steps.

Consider 2 Peter 1 5-7

For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge,
and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness,
and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.

A small faith, supplemented with virtue: Might just be keeping your word and coming out here b/c you said you would. Or the virtue of opening your heart to your family and being present despite distractions.
Virtue with knowledge: Take some time to study God’s word and take it seriously; hint: don’t go it alone
Knowledge with self control: Figure out how to control your body, desires and ambitions. That’s a differentiator.
Steadfastness: Do it for a long time and you get godliness
godliness which results in brother affection because God is full of affection for every brother.  Finally resulting in Love.  Just as Jesus loved us.

Be faithful to your Savior, Be faithful to your family, be faithful to your Church
But try a new time of day for study, a new setting for prayer, Try a new posture
Reach out to a friend and pick a 3 day reading plan together or a short book of the bible

For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge,
and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness,
and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.
For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you
from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 1:5-8

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
It’s pretty easy to come up with a Q. I jacked this one from the #backblast channel. It came from @Rooney at the Asylum. It’s great to come up with new workouts as well. I typically will take pieces from different workouts and make them my own.

What do you see when you look in the mirror?
How do you talk to yourself?
Do you say things like, “I’ll never be able to do that…” or is it more like, “I can do anything I put my mind to!” or “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

95% of your emotions are determined by how you talk to yourself. – Zac Stephen’s

Too many Christians are not looking for Peace in God, but pieces of God.

Choosing what’s convenient for what they have going on right now, instead of basking in the peace God offers, once surrender your heart to him.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Romans 8:37 tells us that, “You are an overcomer, and you will triumph.”

I don’t know who needed to hear that this morning, but it sure is reassuring to me. No matter what this world throws at us, we are ready and will overcome it.
Once we surrender to the shaping hands of the Spirit of God, He will not only “renew your mind” but transform you down to your very soul.
I think that’s where the magic 🪄 is!

Quote that I heard this week, “You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind.” – Joyce Meyer

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The Lord knows that we are dust. Psalm 103:4 says, “for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust. The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.” The Lord knows we are but flesh and we will fail. With that in mind, I love the new year. It brings about a hope for a new year, a cool kind of energy and anticipation. But, because we are humans and dust, the hope and anticipation fades as we fail to meet our goals or resolutions and go back to doing the same old things we did last year. 

But! Because we are Christians, we know that the Lord is merciful and gracious. Lamentations 3:22-23 says, “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” So, even though the Lord knows that we will fail, He gives us new mercies every day, a new hope every day. We will fail to meet our goals. We will fail to be good husbands, good dads, good friends. We will fail in all areas some days. But for the Christian, we can wake up with a new hope every single day because of the Lord’s mercy towards us.
