This Happened Yesterday...

Yesterday we traveled to Hickory to buy some more equipment for Tim's home gym that we are planning to build first chance that we get.  A friend of ours was selling it for a fraction of what they were worth.  It was a really great deal and we were so thankful for the blessing and prayed blessings upon her and her family as well for giving us such a great deal.  We now have a wall Rogue Rack, Bands that go with the rack, a Reverse Hyper & a lifting floor.  When I say we got it for a fraction of what it's worth it was a fantastic deal.  

These pictures below are not my pictures but they are of the actual equipment that we picked up...

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!!

Today we pause to remember those who have given their all for our freedom.  Today we give thanks for those who died in service to our country.  Each year at this time I think about my husbands 2nd cousin who served and gave his life in service to our country.  Check out this picture below and click on it to make it bigger so that you can read what's written on it.

We need to always remember and never ever forget!!!

Verse of the Day...

 

Create in me a clean heart, oh God 

And renew a right spirit within me 

Create in me a clean heart, oh God 

And renew a right spirit within me 

Cast me not away from Thy presence, oh Lord 

And take not Thy holy spirit from me 

Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation 

And renew a right spirit within me 

Create in me a clean heart, oh God 

And renew a right spirit within me 

Create in me a clean heart, oh God 

And renew a right spirit within me 

Cast me not away from Thy presence, oh Lord 

Take not Thy holy spirit from me 

Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation 

And renew a right spirit within me 

Create in me a clean heart, oh God 

And renew a right spirit within me 

Create in me a clean heart, oh God 

And renew a right spirit within me 

Cast me not away from Thy presence, oh Lord 

Take not Thy holy spirit from me 

Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation 

And renew a right spirit within me

Quote of the Day...

Verse of the Day...

We can never avoid strife in the world around us, but with God we can know perfect peace even in turmoil.  When we are devoted to Him, our whole attitude is steady and stable.  Supported by God's unchanging love and mighty power, we are not shaken by the surrounding chaos (see Philippians 4:7).  

Do you want peace?  Keep your thoughts on and your trust in God!

It is so cool that Tim was included in the Top 5.  We weren't expecting this honor.  It was quite a surprise to find this out.  It seems that he is gonna get a reimbursement of some kind + he will be recognized by the WSO at this year's Championship event & will be awarded items on behalf of the WSO to commemorate his achievement.  

Homeschool Year 2024-2025

Biology is done ✅ & Geometry is done ✅ + we will be done with EOG's soon! 2 years of schoolwork in a little more than a years time! Whew! I'm gonna have him finish up what he has left after taking a small break for training/USAW Nationals. Was hoping to be done with school for the year two weeks ago but life happens and things sometimes take longer than we would like. Especially when pulling off two years of school work in one year. Just glad this hard year is almost behind us. He will still have some Chemistry along with some Consumer Math to do when we get back to town then he'll be done with both 10th & 11th grade. It's hard to believe that we will have a Senior next year!

4 Weeks Away...

4 weeks from today we will be traveling for the 2025 USAW Youth Nationals in Colorado Springs, CO.  

Tim is really looking forward to this event.  We are doing all that we can to make sure that he is ready for this event.  When he's not training he's been doing all kinds of recovery.  He goes to Atlas Orthogonal for his Chiropractic care to keep his body aligned,  Restore Hyper Wellness for his whole body Cryotherapy and Compression therapy & a body guy to keep his muscles from being knotted up so that he can lift at his best.  He just started doing the last one.  He also does cupping (if you don't know what that is please look it up) and laser therapy.  An Elite Athletes recovery is just as important as their training.  Lots of time, energy & money goes into having an Elite Athlete.  We are all about making sure Tim's doing what's best for his body to keep him at his optimum level.  Being able to lift at his best is the goal so that he can do his best at every Meet that he attends.   

Tim will be in a "new" weight division, 65kg, at USAW Youth Nationals this year.  He keeps making such great strides in this sport and we are looking forward to this Meet.  He loves every opportunity that he gets to lift and make gains as he reaches for his goals in this sport.  

Please keep us and him in your prayers as we travel to this Meet and as he competes.  Also for him as he trains leading up to the time to travel.  He so desires to glorify & honor God with all that he does in this sport.  Thanks in advance for all your prayers!

This Years Carolinas WSO Championships Announcement...

 

Tim is looking forward to lifting with everyone again this year at this event.  This will be his 3rd year doing this Meet.  It was the first Meet that he did when he switched over to this sport.
