Sufficient

Exodus 4:13 "But Moses said, “Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else.”
 
Many times we can be like Moses, fearful and naive. God commanded Moses to speak to Pharaoh in order to bring his people freedom and deliver them to the Promised Land. Rather than show excitement and gratitude for being chosen as the vessel, Moses made multiple excuses as to why he was the wrong choice. When all his excuses failed, he simply asked the Creator of the universe to send someone else! How crazy is this?
 
Is God asking you to do something? Are you making the excuses that you are too busy, or not knowledgeable enough, or even inadequate? Remember 1 Corinthians 1:27, “But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong” (NIV). Moses was a chicken, had a stuttering problem, and a shepherd when he was called by God. And God turned Him into one of the heroes of the faith and a savior to his people. If God wants to use you, let Him and see what you will become.

WOD: "Gwen"
Clean & Jerk 15-12- and 9 reps
Touch and go at floor only. Even a re-grip off the floor is a foul. No dumping. Use same load for each set. Rest as needed between sets.
 
Took this WOD easy today and with relatively light weight at115#. Did all three sets unbroken (ie didnt hold bar in rack position or on knees) and touch and goed all the way through. I did take 3 and 5 minute rests in between sets to catch my breath and find a good song on pandora though. I wish I had a DJ to play music for me while I work out. I will probably go for this workout again in an hour or so at 125#. Good luck wodies! Let me know how you do if you try this WOD.

Balance

"For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come." 1 Timothy 4:8 (NIV) This past weekend (Month even) has been a very busy one. It often happens that when life ramps up, we cut the unimportant things out of our lives in order to accomplish the tasks we identify as most critical. To all my followers, I want to apologize for my having cutting this portion of my life out for a period of time and I will do my best to have more consistency. A years ago, the United States Army deployed a digital "fitness" test to its soldiers and certain respondents received a message that read, "Spiritual fitness may be an area of difficulty. You may lack a sense of meaning and purpose in your life. At times, it is hard for you to make sense of what is happening to you and to others around you. You may not feel connected to something larger than yourself. You may question your

Satisfaction

“…for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.” Philippians 4:11b (NIV) This has been a very busy month for me in terms of traveling around. I returned home from Brazil after a long three weeks and, after two days, I now find myself back in a hotel in the great city of Duncan, Oklahoma. Although it is slightly inconvenient to me, in terms of my schedule for studying the word, prayer, and working out to live in a hotel for almost a full month, I have found great comfort in the words from the apostle Paul. A man who has murderous attempts on his life, been imprisoned on multiple occasions, beaten up, shipwrecked three times, and bitten by a snake was able to find a state of contentedness regardless of what situation he was in. Talk about finding complete joy. This is the same joy that the beloved disciple wrote of many times for other believers to embrace. And this is a joy that over the years I have learned to develop and enjoy. That no matter what situation I find

Light

“And this is the message which we have heard from him and announce unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” 1 John 1:5 (ASV) Darkness is not a real thing. Cold is also not a real thing. They are just words that we have made up to define the conditions of an environment or state of existence at a specific period or periods of time. What do I mean then when I say that they are not real things? Well, what I mean is that the darkness that we see (or cannot see because of) is not because it is overwhelming, but because it lacks light. Darkness is the absence of light. When light comes into existence, because light is something real, darkness is expelled. That’s the same with cold. Cold is simply the absence of heat. It is not that it is cold and then at some point it shifts to being hot. It is simply that the heat that exists is too miniscule that it cannot bring warmth to anything. In verse five, we read that God is light, but not a weak source of light
