This Week

 

FREEDOM

the week of October 6

But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives FREEDOM, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do. James 1:25 NIV

"... FREEDOM equals wide open spaces & no boundaries ... & make any decision we want, yes?"CCR"... how we misdefine FREEDOM"

Galatians 5:13 NIV; 1 Corinthians 6:12; John 8 :31-32 NIV; 2 Corinthians 3:17 NIV "Jesus, in obeying You, I find FREEDOM."

FOCUS TIP:"This week, when you feel stuck in a situation ...remember the word FREEDOMand know that because of Jesus,you are free to be who you were meant to be."
🙏
{might I suggest going to p.155 (?) "Taking Inventory" to do FREEDOMat the end of this week, instead of at the end of all 4} 😏💓😉

* RENEW *

the week of October 13

Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. Colossians 3:2 ESV

1 Corinthians 2:16 ESV; Romans 12:2 ESV; 1 Peter 1:13 ESV; Philippians 4:8 ESV "Jesus, RENEW my mind and restore my thoughts." 🙏🏼 "... as we focus on the word RENEW... try to capture our negative thoughts and recalibrate our mind into thoughts of love and gratefulness." [CCR's 🙏🏼 & Focus Tip]

Great suggestion in the Focus Tip to help us form a habit of doing this regularly,not just this week.
Perhaps doing the "Taking Inventory" nowwill further help us focus, while it's freshin our minds, along with the scriptureswe find containing our One WordRENEW
Isaiah 40:31
is my favorite RENEW scripture
