Get Your House in Order: Goals are for Reaching

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength."
Mark 12:30

Reggie and Luke after a workout today
Our Tuesday and Thursdays have a new twist..Luke and I head to Godspeed Elite Sports Academy for a 5:00-6:00 workout. Let me rephrase that, Luke works out, I walk/run on the treadmill at TherapySouth Valleydale/Riverchase clinic, how convenient! I am usually multi-tasking and finishing up a few things for work while I walk or talk to whomever is left at the clinic..smile! Walk or talk the story of my life..haha!

 When we had the open house for both our clinic and Godspeed I learned about the STAQ (Strength/Technique/Agility/Quickness) performance training. At the time, Luke was trying to bring up his math grade.  I got the idea to motivate him by helping him  set the goal for an A in math and earning some training.
 HE DID IT!!! Way to go, Luke!

So he started  STAQ  last month and is really enjoying time with his trainer, Reggie and the others in his group! He is learning new things every week and has flexed that muscle a few times,( he can do that with Mom, I tend to make a huge deal about it:)) This is a great way for him to spend an hour of his time, physical active, a few days a week! He is getting more and more comfortable with it as time goes on. 

 The atmosphere at Godspeed is so upbeat and encouraging, the surroundings include a football field and open gym, Crossfit RPM, baseball academy,etc... and what I love most are their values. Lance Rhodes and Blake Prime are behind this awesome concept and are usually always there...teaching, training.... (atleast when I pop in) along with Chase Prime! 

It's very evident that all these guys share a calling and love what they do!  "Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another." Proverbs 27:17 . If you would like more info on STAQ for your child or for classes for yourself, go to www.godspeed.org

Thanks Reggie, for your amazing attitude every time I see you and for leading these boys! Heart. Mind. Soul and Strength. And Chris, thank you for letting me walk and talk and sit at your desk on Tuesdays and Thursdays!

There is no way I can ever thank God enough for always providing what we need in every season of life! One thing we can be sure of, he leaves no details out. He covers it all. He is consistent. Jesus paid it all. "He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?" Romans 8:32 He knows what we need (not necessarily want) and provides in His timing, in His way. What a blessing!

Get Your House in Order: Cancer Awareness & Giveaway

“He will command His angels concerning you to guard you carefully.” Luke 4:10 A few weeks ago I was reminded that September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month (Leukemia and Lymphoma) and encouraged me to use my blog to help raise awareness. I am always willing to give a voice to those fighting and winning against cancer. To me cancer never wins. I will never understand the painful process or the impact and loss it causes but I rest in knowing that...ONE DAY there will be no more cancer. Period. You know how sometimes you read a blog or a book about someone's life and you are just blown away with their story? You connect with so many parts of their lives and you gain insight and inspiration immediately. As was the case with the story, art and website of Patience Brewster , you must take a look for yourself at their page! Patience Brewster reached out to me about writing about a post, after reading some of my cancer stories on Blessings, Suzanne. Patience designs Christmas

On Your Mark

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7 While walking on my everyday path and praying about the upcoming Race for the Cure, that I plan to RUN this year, my eyes fell right upon this cross. (picture to the left). I am sure if any of my neighbors were looking out their window it was a sight to see me staring at the ground and saying "only You, God" (and likely very loudly, due to the fact that I had my earbuds in and music blaring)! Two pieces of pine straw put perfectly together to form the cross on the road. What a sweet reminder of God's love! After I snapped a picture, I began to pick up the pace a bit and RUN. Baby steps. My faith in myself had been renewed that I was reminded to look to Jesus to help me run this race. The problem is I don't like to run. I never have, walking is just fine with me...smile! To be honest, I have never challenged myself to do so. So, this is the year! It's my

Get Your House In Order: Sunday Scripture

Image
"So I have looked for You in the sanctuary,  To see Your power and glory. Psalm 63:2 I read these two verses to Luke this morning, he was the first one up, besides me. It was a great opportunity to tell him how I read the  reference verses that go along with the verses each day. We looked up the verses and read them as well. He thought that was cool (his words). We had a brief moment of discussion and then he moved on. We don't normally get that morning time together...what a blessing! Have a wonderful Sunday!
