Did 20 minutes of 100 lb thrusters, 5 reps, hang powerclean, 7 reps, sumo deadlifts, 7 reps. I think I completed six rounds. It was exhausting and I felt a little light headed.
Spiritual: They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. My spiritual strength comes through prayer and time with God. Only then will I be filled with the Spirit to be used by God. On my own, I am useless to God and a stumbling block to others.
Jennifer Dean says unless I am empty, I can't be filled. I must be emptied of myself and reliance on my own strength in order for God to fill me and use me. Then He gets the glory.

Crossfit: 3 rounds of 400 m, 21 reps of kettle bell swing, 55 lbs and 12 pullups
Time 15:12
Spiritual: Gal 5 - believers have crucified the flesh - aorist tense, meaning it has been completed. Yet we still sin and exhibit the fruits of the flesh. Maybe it means the act has been done at conversion, but the death of sin is slow, like the snake whose head has been cut off still wiggles. But, while able to sin, we are not able to practice sinning because this indicates that there has been no conversion.

Crossfit - 20 minutes as many rounds of 400 m and max rep pushups (instead of pullups)
6 rounds completed: 42 pushups, 28, 22, 23, 22, 20, 20
Spiritual:
Matt 12 (or 13): the parable of the sower. God sows the Word into our hearts. The results depend on the soil of our heart. If we have a hard heart, it doesn't get in, a rocky heart, we are not quite ready; thorns and thistles, a divided heart; the good soil, a pure heart, fully broken up and prepared to grow a garden. What's the point? Prepare your heart that God's word will produce a harvest through you.

Crossfit
pullups, 10 rounds, 3 reps with weights, 5 strict, 7 kipping
I was weak
45 lbs for two rounds, then 25 lbs
Most rounds only 7 total pullups
Also did 3 sets of leg press
Yesterday:
Dead lift 205 lb, 21, 15, 9 with 800 m runs after each set. Time 22 minutes
Spiritual
Is 60 - Reads like Revelation - makes me long for the return of the King when the world will be put back in order and there will be peace and love everywhere and people will be kind and accepting of each other. Unconditional acceptance is hard to find, even in the church which teaches this command, obviously not very well. Love one another - easy to say, hard to do. Maybe because it takes the HOly Spirit filling us with love for it to be a fruit in our lives.

Spiritual experience: In the middle of the night I was feeling attacked by that enemy of our souls, Satan, who was telling me I was a loser. And I tried to think of all the ways that I wasn't. A couple hours later, I got up to have my morning quiet time. I currently switch between three books: Is, Matt, 2 Cor at the present time. Today was 2 Cor. And lo and behold, God meets me there and tells me I'm not a loser and that He is with me to help me. How, you ask. Well, it just so happened that this day I was to read 2 Cor 10, which contains a famous verse that deals with thoughts that come from Satan: vs 5 - "take every thought captive to the obedience of Jesus Christ..." So cool to see that God knew exactly what I was going through and revealed His love for me. Because, you see, I frequently forget which book I am supposed to read from and I debated between Is and 2 cor. It was like God said to me, you give this advice to others, now I am going to give it to you! It's not so much the advice He gave, but the fact that He met me at my point of need. What a great God!
