Decisions Decisions....

As we are getting this year started we have lots of planning to do. Some of the planning is halted because we are waiting on USAT to get their heads out of the sand and get the rules released and also waiting for State Championships and USAT Nationals to be announced so we can plan which events T will be doing for the year. AAU has been great. A total contrast from USAT. AAU already has let us all know where there Nationals is going to be and the dates. We already have AAU Qualifiers getting mapped and on schedule. 

We have other things that we are planning for as well. Once we get it all on the calendar we will need to sit down and decide what gets done and what doesn’t. As you know everything takes finances. You can want to do everything but you can’t do everything because you have to spend your finances wisely. Part of mapping out everything and getting things on schedule includes training sessions. T has such a great coach and having a great coach is not cheap so we’ve also got to map that out too along with housing for when we are in Matthews training with him. 

First up for T this year will be the AAU Qualifier on February 8th. He weighs in on the 7th. Next up will be US Open in Orlando at Disney. T weighs in on February 29th and Fights on March 1st. Before all of that will be training and more training. We are looking at T being in Matthews from January 24th until February 22nd. An entire month. We are crunching numbers and figuring out finances as I write this post because it will be training, AAU Qualifier, more training, come home, pack, and go to US Open. A lot will be having to happen in that time frame and a lot of finances needed to do it. 

God has been so faithful to us in providing every step of the way so T can go hard after his dreams. As with any athlete there are ups and downs and we’ve had to consistently be there to help our son keep his focus where it needs to be for him to accomplish his goals. He’s young and determined. We are so proud of all he’s been able to accomplish to this point. If he didn’t do anymore than he’s already done we’d still be so proud. I love that he wants to do more. We are praying and believing God for His provision for T to continue his journey and accomplish his goals.  It’s our prayer that as he accomplishes his goals that he always keeps in the forefront of his mind who gave him the gift to do what he’s doing to begin with. That he’s always thankful. That he looks to God in everything as he moves forward and does more in this sport. 

We ask that you keep us in your prayers as we plan and do all we can to help our son move forward and do more in this sport. As he moves forward to accomplish his goals. Pray for God’s provision in all this because without Him we can do nothing. He’s our provider. He’s the one who guides our steps. We give all glory and honor to Him!!!
