I Will Seek Wisdom

Thursday we looked at our second DECISION..."I will Seek Wisdom."  Our second DECISION on our journey through The Travelers Gift and through our 10 week Team Challenge. We folded up our first DECISION, "The Buck Stops Here" and placed it in our pocket for safe keeping and journeyed on.

This week we found ourselves in the temple of King Solomon.  We learned a lot about wisdom this week in Vancouver Washington! Most people mistake wisdom for education. Seeking wisdom is not the same as gaining knowledge, however it is a precursor to wisdom. 

Knowledge is the awareness and understand of facts, truth or information. Wisdom, is the ability to apply knowledge to your life.

King Solomon shared three things that we must do to seek wisdom.

1. Read

2. Choose your companions wisely

3. Serve others

We unpacked all three of those important precursors to wisdom Thursday and we are ready to press in to the second decision this week.

We celebrated some GREAT weight loss too! So many of our travelers are having wonderful weight losses...they are going to be excited when they look back at the end of this ten weeks to see how far they've come!

Congratulations to our winning teams for the week.  They got to take home the prize and the buck knives to decorate!

Noon "Figuratively Shrinking"  Ron and Dennis, with a 2.55% of weight loss for the week.

6:00 "Downsizing"  Rosie and Brenda, with a 2.58% of weight loss for the week.

Our DECISION for the week starts out by saying "Knowing that wisdom waits to be gathered, I will actively seek her out. My past can never be changed, but I can change the future by changing my actions TODAY!"  My hope as we travel through this important 10 weeks, is that everyone will see this challenge as an opportunity to not only lose weight...but change FOREVER!
