Prayers – Prayers for Rancid’s Family and his Q this morning in honor of his brother.
COT – This has been a summer of Samples. It wasn’t supposed to be – but many of the questions I had for God was answered with “not yet”. I started reading Resilient by John Eldridge and in the book he mentions that when we are coming out of a trauma or pandemic, we need to be sure we are able to help others and ourselves. Being a high school counselor, I was not ready to help others after this past year. So – This has been a summer of Samples
I had two goals over the summer: complete an Olympic triathlon and ride my bike to Lincoln. Both require training – the type of training that takes time. Many days I would work out for two hours and then recover, finish a core or two around the house and then make sure I made dinner ready for when my M got home. I told her that I was feeling like her “trophy husband”. With working out physically, I also learned that I needed to lean in to God and work on my relationship with Him. I started readying more, praying more. And that is what I am challenging you with: when you come across a time when your prayers are answered with “not yet…”, lean in to your Sky Q and allow the work to happen in the inside out.
What I didn’t mention in the COT was that night, my wife thought it was time for Summer of Samples to end and start practicing the O part of ROLO (another COT some time ago) – Reflect/Observe/Listen/Obey. I got on websites to finally apply for some therapy positions. God still speaks through our M’s.
Prayer
Aye!
