This AO continues to be a very popular site.  As the cars kept rolling in, the parking lot looked very crowded.  I was excited to Q since it had been awhile since dealing with a nagging injury.  Once we hit 5:15, a short disclaimer was given and no FNG’s were present so off we went.   A short mosey and then circled up in the parking lot.

• 10 SSH
• 10 Windmill
• 10 Imperial Walkers
• 10 Merkins
• 10 MC

It was a pleasure to lead this morning and a great AO with many options.  With today being June 1st, we started a new word of the month.  This month we are focused on Faith.  During the workout, I shared that we all have faith in something and I thought it was very fitting that we are following maturity in May with Faith in June.  As we grow and mature as adults are we also growing in our Faith in Jesus Christ?  I know for me, maturity is knowing my weakness and I can justify not stepping out of my comfort zone and having the faith that God will bring me through what He is calling me too.

I was asked to be a part of the team going on a mission trip to South America.  I quickly agreed to be on the team so that I would be committed and not find multiple excuses.  As we have gotten closer to trip, doubt and fear began to creep into my mind and I was working hard to find a reason that I would not be able to attend.  Since my diet and being gluten free can be an issue, this seemed like the perfect solution, but after discussing the trip with some that have already attended, I was reassured that the food there should be fine.  I have to remind myself that God has laid the groundwork for our group and we are his hands and feet.  I have to trust in Him and have FAITH that He will provide for my needs and our groups needs.  Growing in Faith to me is stepping out and putting my knowledge and testimony in action to serve others.

Announcements and prayers were lifted.  Thanks Anchor Man for the invitation to lead.
