Roe v Wade Overturned....What does this mean???

So today history has been made and the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v Wade.  What does this mean???  Really all it has done is take it out of the Supreme Courts hands and put it in the hands of each individual state to decide on whether they will ban it or not.  Forbes did a likelihood of what will happen should it be overturned by the Supreme Court:

The picture shows that roughly 26 states will for sure ban abortion.  So what does that mean?   It means that women will travel now in order to get abortions so we really haven't solved the problem.  It's been shifted to the states.  Now the real work begins and that's where Christians pray for all states to eventually ban it and save the lives of our unborn children and give them a voice.  So many precious innocent lives have been lost over the years to this decision that was made, by the Supreme Court, that should have never have been made in the first place because it was never the Supreme Court who should have decided any of it to begin with.  

So much in our world is upside down right now.  There are so many more challenges that our kids are being faced with, sexual orientation for one, besides this decision.  So much cheering is going on and even though it is a win there is still much work that has to be done to make things right again.  This is a beginning but there are still so many challenges that lay ahead for us that need our attention and need to be dealt with if we are going to really make a difference for our kids and their kids futures.  So keep praying and seeking God as to what part you are to play in restoring things for the future of our kids and our kids kids and generations to come.  There's still much work to be done and we have got to be about doing God's business!  We've got to make a difference now!  Change things that should have never been allowed or tolerated now!  We've got to make a future that is secure and thriving for generations to come now!  We've got to make a difference for God now!  The longer the church doesn't stand up and make a difference the worse things will get.  That has been proven already because of so many churches staying silent when they should be roaring like a lion!!!  Don't count yourself out!  No matter how old or young you are God has a job for you to do on this earth!  It's why you are still here!  Find out what that job is that He has for you to do and do it to the absolute best of your ability and with excellence!  Make A Difference!!!  

Thank you Lord for this win today.  Work in the hearts and lives of your people, even me, and help us to pull up our sleeves and get to doing the work that you have for us to do!  In Jesus Name, Amen! 

T Helping With Class Tonight

T is loving helping with class while he recovers. The little kids really look up to him. He seems to really enjoy helping them. Love seeing this side of him. 

It's Official...

Yesterday an announcement was made via a live video stream that USAT is in fact moving to Charlotte, NC.  We couldn't be more pleased with this change because it will mean more events on the east coast and less having to travel across to the west/central side for competitions.  At least that is the hopes of everyone on the east side who have traveled for years to the central and west for stuff.  Only time will tell but it is exciting times right now with this change.  

Another Puzzle Done!

 We got another puzzle done and have started another one.

T's Recovery...

So T is dealing with a growth spurt which makes the Osgood Schlatters in his knees hurt extremely bad.  Then he is also dealing with Shin Splints which we got told today that it takes 4-6 weeks to completely heal from and if you don't allow it to heal then you make an already bad situation worse so that puts T out of being able to do the PATU President's Cup in August because he won't have enough time to train to be ready for it so we won't be wasting our time or money on going to it and let T get completely healed from the Osgood and the Splints.  It'll be good recovery time for him and his body coach is going to adapt his body training so that he doesn't make anything worse.  I have a feeling there is fixing to be a lot of core workouts coming T's way from his body coach...LOL!!  There's always something with this sport that athletes have to deal with.  This is a high intensity and high injury sport with things such as pulled muscles and shin splints and things of that nature.  It just kind of comes with doing this sport.  Every sport has their own challenges and this is TaeKwonDo sparring's challenges.  At any rate, T rests and recovers and does what his body coach tells him that he needs to do in order to completely heal up.  The really good thing about this is that he can eat and grow while healing.  That's a huge plus for T.  And even though it's painful T is really glad to have Osgood happening right now because he knows that means he will be getting taller and, of course, height matters in this sport.  

This picture was taken after his last fight and he got his medal and was making his way back to take off gear so we could leave the venue for the day.  He's looking so grown up.  #GodsPlanistheOnlyPlan

It's Been 1 Year...

It's been a year since you left this earth for your heavenly home with Jesus.  It feels like it was only yesterday though.  You will always hold such a special place in my heart.  No matter where I go or what I do in this life I will always carry a part of you, my friend, with me.  You may be gone from this world but never ever forgotten!!!

"In everything we have won more than a victory because of Christ who loves us.  I am sure that nothing can separate us from God's love - not life or death, not angels or spirits, not the present or the future, and not powers below. Nothing in all creation can separate us from God's love for us in Christ Jesus Our Lord!"  Romans 8:37-39 (CEV)

T’s Regular Class Uniform

T received his regular class uniform tonight. He’s looking forward to doing regular TaeKwonDo classes at Core TaeKwonDo Performance Center.  #GodsPlanistheOnlyPlan

Some Screenshots From T's Videos

These are screenshots that I pulled from T's videos so they will be a little blurry but they were really good shots where T got his opponent good.  The last photo though, is to show you the height difference between T and Flores.  #GodsPlanistheOnlyPlan

Puzzle Is Done!

We got this puzzle done and have another one to get started on.  We have been so enjoying doing puzzles.  It's been a fun family thing to do in the evenings rather than waste our time watching things on tv.  We've hardly turned on the tv since we started doing this.  I'm thinking about actually letting some of my subscriptions go that we stream because we are hardly ever watching anything these days.  This is such a beautiful puzzle that I'm considering framing it.  We'll see though because I don't really have a place to put this one.  

T’s Fight Videos From USAT East Grand Prix

Here are T’s fight videos from this past weekend. 

In this next video you will see the height difference of T and Flores. For his height Flores should be two weight divisions higher than T but he chooses to cut as low as T’s weight division because when you are a foot taller it’s easy wins. 

T fought so good in all his fights. His coach, Master Doug, doesn’t yell at him and he stays calm all three rounds. T goes for it in the second round and still loses to Flores but we still couldn’t be more proud. #GodsPlanistheOnlyPlan
