ANNOUNCEMENTS & PRAYERS:

COT: GOING IN CIRCLES

Sometimes in life we are stuck, and it feels like we are going in circles. This can be caused when we are in unfamiliar territory and we feel lost, or it may happen when life feels monotonous on a day to day basis. For me, I have been lucky to have guides and guideposts that pull me out of my circles. I am grateful for F3 because it offers a community of high impact men that serve as guides.

My Shieldlock – Vandelay, Ozark and Chiclets – have been tremendous guides for me over the past two years. There were many times that my Shieldlock pulled me out of a circle that I was spiraling in. Jisella, my M, doesn’t allow me to run in circles. She knows exactly how to use kindness and pull me out of a circle.

I am not embarrassed to say that I have a therapist and an executive coach that helps me whenever it need it. These people equip me to face tough challenges and propel my life forward.

The bottom-line is this. We all need guides and guideposts to pull us through challenging times – particularly when we are stuck in a circle of death.

We finished our time together in prayer.

Grace & Peace,

Wait Time
