COT:
As some know, my foot has been a real problem for the last 5 months. The majority of the time, the pain was at an 8 or 9. This unintentional thing with my foot, forced me to literally transform the way I live. I walked with a limp, putting a shoe on was torture, I could not walk barefoot, and the day to day of going about my life was exhausting to say the least. I did go to the foot doctor about 6 weeks ago and got something for it. About two weeks ago it started to slowly feel better; and a couple of days ago, the pain completely went away.

Back up a couple of months – I was driving and thinking, “God, what am I supposed get from this unintentional thing that has completely transformed how I go about my life?” (At this point I was about ready to cut my foot off)

All I heard, or thought, or felt was this – or something similar.

“Be intentional in knowing me, and I will transform your life.”

My takeaway is this: something unintentional forced me to change; and God wants me to be intentional (in knowing Him), and He will do the changing.

James 4:7-8
7 So give yourselves completely to God. Stand against the devil, and the devil will run from you.
8 Come near to God, and God will come near to you. You sinners, clean sin out of your lives. You who are trying to follow God and the world at the same time, make your thinking pure.

COT:
Not sure if you’ve noticed it, but there appears to be a homeless camp 🏕️ between Lovell road and Carmichael. When you’re headed North on Pellissippi and get to the Lovel Rd exit, look to the left just below the apartments.

It’s been pretty cold lately…

It makes me sad and I really don’t know what to do about it.

We are super blessed. I may not be money 💰 rich, but I’m so rich. I have a wife and kids that adore me (OK maybe a stretch) that I also adore. I have a roof over my head and cars in my driveway. Our kids are in one of the best schools in an overall great school district. I have a job and I have men that I trust, can workout with, and check in on me.

Life happens and sometimes it’s hard, but I encourage you to take on an attitude of gratitude. Count your blessings and you will start to see just how blessed you are.

If you don’t have a church, join me at Faith Promise on Christmas Eve. I’ll be at the 4p service.

“Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.”
‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭

We all agreed we want Jesus Christ to be preeminent in Christmas.

COT:
Getting out of your comfort zone:

What if your best laid plans and goals were thrown off for some reason….there are terrible ways that can happen like losing your job or an accident, but there are also positive ways like job opportunities, unexpected callings or kids

The character of a person…and in this case a MAN… is how you react in those situations. I don’t want a show of hands, but if you cringed or had a negative reflection of how you would probably react…then you need to remember that gods in control. You should feel comfort in Him and fall back on your values and trusts that you are in good hands.

Sometimes He like to take us out of our comfort zones and frankly laughs at them. He’s laughed at mine twice over the past year…

Matthew chapter 4
Jesus, God’s son is the trustworthy one
Example in chapter 10: throwing sheep into a den of wolves. Trust in Him.

COT: Talked about my injury and the clarity of hindsight and all the things I knew to do differently before hand but failed to do them in the moment. Encouraged everyone to slow down and try to have the clarity of hindsight in the moment during this holiday season. What is that relationship or conversation you wished to have, what is that act of kindness or generosity you might miss, what is that error in judgment that you might be tempted with. Don’t wait for hindsight to have clarity in your actions.
