“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 NIV
This is the second week of Advent that is devoted to Peace. Regardless of our circumstances, God will meet you right in the middle of it. We can turn over any burden we have and receive His peace that is free and ours to take. This does not mean that He will remove us from the situation or make the situation go away, but He has promised to give us what we need to get through it.
NMM- It’s been a while since I’ve Q’d the Epicenter. I did some digging in my past Q’s and found one that I remembered being a crowd favorite. Nothing sets the tone like “Grab 2 coupons each”. Nothing good could come from that. I think we all agreed that the Roundhouse is bigger than it looks and it gets bigger every trip we made around it. Even Abacadaba said he wished he would have slowed down his last set to avoid that last trek around the Roundhouse. Not to mention, that voice in your head reminding you that these coupons have to get back to the cage at some point. Weaver looked at his watch and told me that he was going to head on back to the cage a little early because he knew what was coming. Grip work is one of my favorites. It helps in so many of the exercises we do every day. We will definitely feel this tomorrow.
