God's Blessing!!!

Whenever we have had big decisions to make God has always put one of these in the clouds/sky letting us know thumbs up on our decision.  God never ceases to amaze me of how He communicates with us.  It's never as we think it will be.  I love getting beautiful confirmations such as this though.  More to come on the decision we've made later but for now enjoy the gorgeous pictures that I got. 

Kick A Thon Kicks

T is finally getting his Kick A Thon kicks done. He’s been training so much that he didn’t get to kick the day of the event because he’s getting ready for the PATU Texas Open On Memorial Day weekend. 

Core TaeKwonDo received 13,700 from the event. Master Doug was able to order Electronic Headgear: 2 size Small, 2 size Medium, 2 Size Large, 2 size XL. Electronic Hogu (chest gear) 2 of each of these sizes: size 0 - Size 5. 8 transmitters were purchased to go with the electronic gear. 2 receivers, 2 chargers, and computer software were purchased. Two monitors were purchased. And two laptop computers were donated. All this from what was raised. Thank 🙏 you all for all you did to support this event. The kids feel so incredibly blessed to be able to have this so that they can advance in this sport. 

The Judds

I have personally known two people to take their life the way Naomi did hers.  It is so heart wrenching.  I feel for these girls dealing with the aftermath of this ordeal.  Those that suffer the most are the loved ones left behind who have to deal with and make sense of it all.  

My prayers are with these girls as the navigate through this tragedy.  My prayers are for all families who deal with mental illness silently with a loved one.  The ones looking out for their loved ones feel the stress and anguish the most.  They go through it silently trying to not be labeled by anyone because of what is going on in their family.  These loved ones that are suffering mental illness are going through terrors emotionally and in their minds that we can't even fathom.  The loved ones looking out for them are also living a nightmare of their own as well trying to make sure their loved one that is suffering is safe.  It's a no win situation.  And no matter what you do to get them help sometimes it just isn't enough.  All we can do is pray folks.  Pray for everyone involved in those situations and also be there for them if we can.  

Keeping these girls and all families suffering silently in my prayers.

Birthday Fun With T

Lots of birthday 🥳 fun 🤩 these past few days. Today is actually his birthday though. 14 years old. Let’s put his age in perspective here. In 6 months he will be able to take Drivers Ed. Once done with that he can get his permit. How scary is that😱????  We couldn’t drive til 15 with a permit and 16 with a license🙄🤦🏻‍♀️.  This is where we are though folks. Enjoy the pics and video. 

Life Lesson

LIFE LESSON: The Ultimate Longshot in the 2022 Kentucky Derby Race.

1. Not the best starting position.

2. Not the biggest or best horse. 

3. Only made it into the race on account of another horse having to scratch.

4. $30,000 horse against multi million dollar horse. 

It isn't always about having the best of everything, or being the biggest and favored. It’s about the size of heart and dedication to win and excel in everything you do!!!

Happy 14th Timothy

It’s hard to believe T is 14 years old. He’s growing up so fast. He’s getting so mature. He’s shaving. His voice is getting deeper and doing that high pitch thing it does when boys voices change. He’s going through all the changes teen boys go through. And yet it seems like just yesterday he was a toddler and I was chasing him around the house making sure he didn’t do anything to hurt himself. He is so incredibly smart this kid of ours. He is also so very talented at TaeKwonDo Sparring amd playong VR games. There’s nothing that he puts his mind to that he can’t do. With each new day he learns more and does something to show just how smart and talented he really is. There is never a dull moment.  He keeps us hopping and has since he learned to crawl. We are so proud of the man he’s becoming and of all he’s accomplished in his life thus far. There’s still so much for him to learn and do and we look forward to continuing to be his cheering section every step of the way no matter what he decides to do in his life. He’s an amazing young man who loves God and his family immensely. I’m so thankful that he has so many people in his life that love and support him. God blessed us so greatly when He gave us T. Happy 14th Birthday 🎊🎈🎂🎉 T!!! We love you to the moon and beyond!!!

Training at Home On His Own

T is training what he learns from his coach at home.  He has been doing a ton of kicking on Bob.  Bob is getting a beat down a lot these days.  Today I got a few pictures of T kicking to share with everyone here.  He is really enjoying what he is doing and learning.  He is improving more every day.  His kicks are getting stronger and more powerful each time he trains.  His teammates hate being on the receiving end of some of his more powerful kicks as you will see in a short video below.  

Saturday’s Training

T is looking so good. He’s hanging in there with the big boys. Check out this video. 

Happy Mother’s Day 💐

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms. My guys are in Charlotte. T has been doing privates and team training all weekend with his coach in order to get ready for a tournament in Texas Memorial Day weekend. Since T was born on Mother’s Day we like to celebrate Mother’s Day and his birthday together on T’s birthday anyhow. Our celebration will happen Wednesday. Can’t believe he will be 14. I’m so blessed to be the mom of such an amazing young man who’s so smart and has goals that he’s moving toward. He is a go getter. He’s already looking so much more like a man than a boy. I’m so glad that he made me a mother. I’m so thankful for God blessing me with him. There’s never a dull moment with him. I hope everyone enjoys every moment of their Mother’s Day with their families. 

Today at Training

I haven’t seen the videos from today as of yet but when the boys get home I’ll get to see them and share them. T did however send me this pic of him getting a really good turning back kick to the body of one of his teammates, Ryan, that I wanted to share with you. When they get home we’ll get to talk in more detail and I can share with you all about Saturday’s team training session. I can share this much though that his dad said, "He’s looking stronger and better". Scot also thought the coach seemed to be surprised at how well T is doing as well. My boy is growing up and maturing and so many light 💡 bulb moments are happening for him right now.
