T’s Year In Review 2022 Video…

T had one the best years he’s had since he began his journey as a taekwondo fighter. He loves this sport so much. His goals with it have ebbed and flowed over the years but his heart for the sport remains. He has so loved 🥰 growing in this sport this year. His new coach has been amazing. So thankful that we have him with a coach and school that he loves. While we don’t know what the future holds in this sport we do know who holds the future and that is all we need to know. Enjoy the video. 

Christmas 2022 Video

We had a great Christmas with lots of fun and laughter. Good times were had. We created some good memories for years to come. Our family has been through a lot in recent years but God has showed up in a mighty way and we are so blessed and thankful. Enjoy this short video of our Christmas. 

T's Gaming Computer Setup...

T just got everything just the way he wants it with his new gaming computer and desk.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Everyone!  2022 will soon come to end and I'm thinking about all the memories of this year.  More good memories than bad ones.  Life isn't always easy but as long as we keep a good attitude it can always be great no matter what comes our way.  And although we don't know what the future holds we know who holds the future!  That my family and friends is a handy piece of information to have.  Only those who know Jesus can really relate to that statement.  

Jesus came to seek and save the lost so that we don't live eternally in hell but that we can live eternally in heaven with Him.  It was the whole reason for His birth.  His story had an end here on earth "physically" before it even began just like each and every one of ours does.  But His story didn't end just like ours won't either.  We may not know how our story ends here on earth but we will live eternally in either one place of the other.  It's totally our choice.  And we may have memories of ourselves of our beginnings.  We will always carry those memories with us and cherish them.  But may we always keep in mind that "Jesus Is The Reason For The Season!"  He's the reason to press forward each and every day of our lives.  He gives meaning to everything!  Without it life here is pointless.  

On this Christmas Day my greatest hope and wish is that the lost are saved.  That they find and have a real relationship with Jesus that will carry them through all of the rest of their lives.  That they grow in the knowledge of God.  That they teach it to their children and that their children teach it to theirs and so on and so forth.  Growing God's Kingdom to make an impact on the world we live in makes all of life worth living.  It brings blessings that cannot be contained.  That's what the real meaning of Christmas means to this southern gal.  

Happy Birthday Jesus and Merry Christmas Everyone!

  

T’s Christmas….

We still got to surprise T with a little Christmas. 

VR grips for his VR handles. 

A gaming keyboard that does all that T needed a gaming keyboard to do. 

An electronic cube game and a steam gift card so that he can buy pc games. 

Merry Christmas & Happy Birthday Jesus!

“And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.” And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

T’s New Setup in His Gaming Room…

T loves his new setup in his gaming room. He now can play games on his gaming computer on his one desk and do school on his laptop on his other desk. They are side by side and go great together. 

Tucker and His New Toys…

Tucker is such a blessed dog. 

One Last Training…

T got one last training session on before Christmas Day. He’s got a lot of work to do moving forward. He will get where he needs to be though. It was a bit of a hard/frustrating day for him as he realized just how much work he needs to do moving forward. Being sick for months has put him behind the eight ball so to speak. It’s all good though. 

Two More Events Scheduled for 2023

T will be competing at the 2023 East Grand Prix. He will weigh in May 12th and fight May 13th. We will drive to this event. It’s about the same distance as going to Kentucky to visit our family. 

T will also be competing at the USAT Nationals event also. He will weigh in on July 6th and fight July 7th. 

The calendar is starting to fill in. T is looking forward to all that he will learn this year as he fights in his “New” age and weight division. We will also drive to this event because it’s so close to us. Again it’s like making the trip the Kentucky to see the family. Thankful we can drive to these events with the price of plane tickets.
