Good morning Col Burroughs and Posse and happy hump day. We have sunshine but there is a storm system apparently headed our way. Got to be ready for anything.
I do something called "motivational interviewing" with clients. What is that? It's a way to determine how ready a person is to make the change he or she claims they want to see happen in their life. If you are not ready to do something you won't or you will fail at execution regardless of what you say you want. Success comes to those who are prepared and ready to grasp the opportunity.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 New International Version
The Day of the Lord
5 Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, 2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

I hope you are emotionally and physically prepared for everything that will happen to and for yourself and those who trust in your leadership, advice and judgement. No doubt you comprehend that the LORD’s sanctification of YOUR soul prepares you spiritually for what will befall you. I hope and pray that you and I place our trust in the LORD, submit our will to HIM and be grateful for HIS love for each of us. 'Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD' [Proverbs 3:5-8 ESV] my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.

I lift each and every one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who are nervous, anxious, or fearful about the near to mid term future for themselves and their loved ones. Remember the LORD is in complete control of all creation. Those who place their trust in human government are foolish, whether or not the government is trustworthy or corrupt or a mixture as usually is the case. ‘Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed; he will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving might of his right hand. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. They collapse and fall, but we rise and stand upright. [Psalm 20:6-8 ESV]
I thank YOU LORD for sanctifying the soul of each of us. YOU guide us step by step throughout our life on this earth. You prepare us through challenges and trials as YOU mature us in YOUR perfect timing. YOUR selfless and sacrificial love for each of us is beyond wonderful to experience. 'For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.' [Ephesians 2:10 ESV]
I am beyond grateful that YOU are incomplete control of all that we go through in life. YOU use everything we go through individually and corporately to bless us in YOUR perfect timing through YOUR perfect methods. YOU know what we need and YOU ensure we each receive what we need including admonishment and discipline. ‘And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.’ [Romans 8:27-28 ESV]
By YOUR grace, YOU admonish each of through YOUR Word. 'But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”— these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.' [1 Corinthians 2:9-10 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Wednesday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Thursday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good “Wednesday & Hump Day!” Morning “Burroughs’ Posse Leader from the beautiful blue skies of Metrowest Boston south! I can see the enthusiasm building for your trip/work/vacation in Costa Rica, my friend... I am sure that you and Bella will have an awesome time!

It is: “Readiness Day!” If you are not ready, why not? There are things to do and places to go and people to help!

"The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes." — Benjamin Disraeli, 1804-1881, British Prime Minister

"Leadership is the readiness to stand out in a crowd." - John C. Maxwell

"The threat to globalization is not the wasted American dollars but Washington's readiness to mix US commercial interests with its self-appointed role as global protector." - William Greider

"When our conscience bothers us, whether we admit it or not, we often try to justify it by correcting others, or by finding fault with them. The readiness to believe evil about others is in large part ammunition for a thousand scandals in our own hearts." - Fulton J. Sheen

"Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valor, and be in readiness for the conflict; for it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar." - Winston Churchill

"Let us rise up tonight with a greater readiness. Let us stand with a greater determination. And let us move on in these powerful days, these days of challenge to make America what it ought to be. We have an opportunity to make America a better nation." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

Be it known that...

"Leadership readiness is getting your people skills ready to inspire and move/engage your team to reach the overall vision." — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

The jobs and training I had in the Navy taught me to be prepared at all times for most anything that could happen. Therefore, I am ready for just about anything at all times. I am not easily surprised. Good morning Rally Point!!

Thanks CWO3 Randy Weston - I believe we've all gone through some extensive readiness training on this forum brother, some more that others...

“Readiness is extremely important in business, the military, and for your health. Your attitude toward seeking readiness is vital to everyday life as well. It prepares you for the unforeseen things that can happen and that leads me to this quote…

‘Always be prepared. For anything!’ — Faye Bishop

May you all have a sense and willingness for readiness and to be prepared the unenviable; may your mind, body, and soul be opened to grace, goodness, peace, forgiveness, and a continued bountiful life of purpose; and keep your family safe, secure, happy, and healthy. Heading down to Costa Rica Thursday to help work on the Life Readiness Center – prepare to get those individuals ready to fix their Disabilities Wounds and work for a better tomorrow.” (COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Seek out some awesome readiness with Online Peer Support and Warriors for Life (WFL) Tonight with Volunteer and Veteran SSgt Alia Schenck as she discusses Part Two of "Self-Forgiveness" She is pretty awesome!
