MARY: She didn’t show up.
We had a discussion about Surrendering Control. Here are a few of the questions I asked and some we didn’t get to.
When was the last time God asked you to do something that made you uncomfortable or felt beyond your abilities?
What is God calling you to do right now that you're resisting because you don't feel qualified?
Where are you currently leaning on your own understanding instead of trusting God?
What would change if we responded to God with "Here I am, send me" more often?
What area of your life is hardest to surrender: work, marriage, finances, health, reputation, or something else?
Final Takeaway: God doesn't call the equipped; He equips the obedient.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel Men's Shelter July 2nd
COT: Pax pushed themselves hard today (and each other) in very swampy weather conditions!
Amid the suck, we bantered about the realities of an endlessly chattering mind that sometimes takes over the human (inspired by a country song by Jimmie Dale Gilmore called "My Mind Has A Mind Of Its Own". This happens to all of us, because we're human. We're made this way. In the words of Pusher "People Suck" and that includes all of us. We're also glorious sons made in the image of our Creator. So, don't wallow in the "I suck" headspace. Apologize where needed. Learn from mistakes. And just shake the voices and get moving again. Yes, you suck, AND you're amazing. Live into your amazingness and don't get stuck in the suck!
Thanks for the Q invite Minuteman and thanks to the pax for the terrific effort!
#KeepPosting
WARMUP: Headed over to Walgreens for typical warm-ups (SSHs, WMs, IWs, CPs). Next we partnered up for a DORA (Merkins, Squats, LBCs). In error, I said for partner 2 to run around CVS which is 2 miles away. After the awkward silence, I quickly corrected myself and said Walgreens.
Next we moseyed to the wall behind the oil service place. Same partners, one ran around the building while the other performed an exercise (Step ups, Dips, Erkins)
I traveled to the back of Harris Teeter for wall sits. Pax on each end bear crawled out to the curb, 5 merkins, crawl bear back. Next round, lunge walk, squat, reverse lunge. We got to experience the aromatic scents of the trash barrel bottom.
We made our way to the front parking lot. Back to the partner exercises. Each team grabbed a boulder, +2 squat thrusters at each parking space line. Partner 2 ran to the second light pole and back. Each team finished at the 20 thruster mark.
