Fun memories and just fun to look back at the things that I have done this year. Check out your year and see if you have been doing the things you want to do and have been with the people you want to surround yourself with.
For quite some time now I have felt the strain of the remnants of my old life. Alcohol, womanizing/sexual sin, ill-uses of my tongue… these things continually being present in my life and depleting me of happiness and self-worth. As every weekend hit I found myself indulging in one regret or another. Slowly stirrings began to transpire within me as I prepared myself for the walk I am destined to undertake. The man on the other side of the mirror, the reflection of what I could be through the fruition of potential. As of late, I have begun to drawn nearer to Christ than ever before. My heart is open, my head is being made clear (as the fog dissipates). God is moving for me, he is waving me in, beckoning to me. This spirit journey I am navigating is profound in power. This roller coaster in which I leap…. Then falter, leap… then falter again. God has presented me with endless opportunities to take the plunge. He drives my life when I am close to him and I feel him lin...
Well, it has happened. I have officially joined the crossfit cult. My entrance into the movement has been a unique and exciting experience. Before I entertain you with the epic tale that is my crossfit experience, I need to give you some background. I was a college football player and I loved to compete. Working out and training has been a large part of my life and after college I was finding that workouts were not the same. I did not find the same satisfaction, motivation, results, or enjoyment in carrying out my SOLO-flex workouts. A large amount of my drive comes from competing with those around me and the community feel- of training as a team. I had lifting partners, I tried a couple of group workout classes, I dabbled in boxing, and they all were enjoyable... but not lasting. My girlfriend (who was a friend at the time.. long and fun story...she is amazing) showed me her crossfit gym and I loved it! Sadly, work travels and a 3-month road trip took me away from crossfit, BUT upon m...
I was thinking and weighing all of the things that I have done... good and bad, pondering if I am leaving a positive imprint on the earth/my lifetime. In my life I have carried out countless volunteer experiences ranging Special Olympics to work in the children's wing at church. In college I created a Car Wash that sported scandalously dressed boys raising money for the local food shelf. Through teaching I carried out two years of Cancer Coin donations for the Cancer Fund at the Children's Hospital. In terms of lives impacted I like to think that I have positive interactions with my students and their families, that I have left unforgettable happy memories behind. I feel as though my friends know that they are cared for and that I would do anything for them. I want them to know that I am always in their corner and that I am their biggest fan. In truth, I think about them all so regularly and it brings me great happiness. Every now and then I try to reach out to a friend or...
