This was only YHC’s 2nd Q since my F3 awakening back in January. To be honest, trying to challenge men in better shape than YHC has been a daunting task. Self doubt easily creeps into my head. These men have made me stronger and given me their all when they Q so what the heck. With talk of opening new AO’s due to growth I wanted to get in another Q before I may attend another AO. Snakepit and it’s PAX will always have a special place in my heart. It’s kinda like that movie “The Sandlot” -a bonding of “boys” in a special place even at this later time in our lives, but as we grow(up), we have to expand into the world and hope that what we have learned we can pass on to others and the cycle continues. I can only imagine us in later years sitting in wheelchairs in a nursing home doing flutter kicks in our heads and listening to the young men on staff talk about this “new” “workout group” they just became a part of. The legacy we could leave depends on each one of us. And if we do our job effectively the F’s will all fall into place for the next generation.

Devo
2 Timothy 1 13-14.
Adapt to change / challenges from sound teaching by men of God and through faith in Jesus and with help from the Holy Spirit.
13 What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus.
14 Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.
Timothy was in a time of transition. He had been Paul’s helper and soon he would be on his own as a leader of a church in a difficult environment. Although his responsibilities were changing. Timothy was not without help. He had everything he needed to face the future. As long as he would hold on tightly to the Lord’s resources. When we are facing difficult transitions it is good to follow Paul’s advice to Timothy and look back at our experiences. Who is the foundation of your faith? How can you build on that Foundation? What gifts has the Holy Spirit given you? Use these gifts you have already been given.
What I have learned from the PAX at Snakepit I can take with me to a new AO location. I will go and share with others the way you guys have made me feel welcome. I want to share the ways you have challenged me and encouraged me.
Not unlike planting a new church we plant AOs. These places hopefully will represent all 3 F’s effectively and continue to grow. With faith in our God and mindful prayer we will do these things in His name.
With love for my brothers,
Katniss
