THE PUSH!!

2009-10-26T05:42:00.000-07:00

It seems that often times in life we as people have convictions, we as Disciples in Christ especialy have convictions in many parts of our lives that simply must be purged from the way we represent the Gospel, and to further effect the World around us. But the funny thing I have noticed about these convictions is that unless there is some sort of forward push for them to gain momentum, they usually fizzel and in a much more inglorious death than the moment of conception, they die. The problem presented by this inglorious death is simply this; How many times could the world itself have changed if you never allowed the zeal for your convictions to be quenched in the fires of industry? How many lives would be changed for the better, possibly for the best? Here is your push. If you have been waiting, for some reason, to finally make the decision to give Joy and to give Hope, and Strength, and Endurance to the World then this is your PUSH!! The only question now is... Will you give in to this life? Or should I say Death?!

Be Joy to the World today!!

Legacy!

2009-10-15T05:51:00.000-07:00

We belong to great Legacy. A legacy placed by people who have come before us and carved a narrow path for a few longing people to get through. I say a few people because I mean a few people. These are the people who long for something more in their lives. People, who have weighed the cost and been convicted with out the ability to turn back, or quit before the point of origin has been met. The Question is, is do you have the freedom of heart to go there with those people? Is what you worship in your life able to truly set you free and give you longing to become so much more than what the world tells you your limits are? Are you willing to suffer, and yet rejoice to become part of this Legacy?

Really?

2009-10-14T05:07:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone I am very Sorry about not blogging lately I have been slightly distracted in life. See in life there are times where one has to choose the better of a few paths that former decisions have brought forth, and sadly I have created a few paths for myself that arent exactly the way I would have had them heading. I would like to apologize to all who have been expecting more of me and make a proclamation in my life; I will be more, I will be temperate and stout in faith, Love and endurance. You cannot lose! We will become the Body of Christ one great Love and one great burning light of life to those who have none. This is a Word to all who have been deceiving people by hiding behind would be truth, bring to light what is Hiding in the darkness. Breath the free air again my friends and step into love! Be strong with me I beg you. If it werent for stronger people than me I would be stuck in to many would be lies. Let us be life to the world today!

Hard Core!

2009-09-08T05:51:00.000-07:00

There comes a time in life when you must choose in your heart and in your mind to either succeed or to Fail. This time that comes, it could be a very hard and almost seemingly impossible task or it could be something much simpler and thus makes the choice quite simple. But the times when it is infact a heart and body wrenching decision what will you do? Do you have the strength to fight? To fight the pain of the situation off for just long enough to consciously decide to finish? Or strong enough even for those of you who are among the Saints; to yeild to the Spirit of the one who saves? What kind of strong are you? Being weak is a choice! Get Strong!!!

Submission

2009-08-24T05:36:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone it has been a while since my last post and today I would like to talk a little about submission. You see we dont submit to Jesus because he makes us, we submit to Jesus because he is holy. And the ablity to submit to anyone who is holier than our selves is a very good way to measure the amount of hold that the spirit of God has on our lives. Am I being submissive to what Jesus has for me? Am I in tune with the spirit enough to be submissive to not only him but also to another person who is simply more Holy than I? Dont be afraid to be the church!

Lessons!

2009-07-14T14:19:00.001-07:00

In the last week i have learned a couple of lessons, which really isnt that different from normal. however these lessons just so happend to be very big and important lessons, and one of these very important lessons was one on preparation. Being prepared both mentally and physically for the task at hand. So here's our question are we doing CrossFit or whatever it is that you are doing, to be prepared mentally and physically for any given situation? or have we forgotten the basics and reasoning behind the actions we complete? Let us return to focus, let us return to revolution of heart, mind, and spirit not rebellion, for rebellion is not of God. But the Revolution of Love is!

Do Work!!

2009-07-02T16:49:00.000-07:00

So lately i have been having my mind split in many different ways. one of which has been about a seminar that i am giving along side one of my great friends, so it is going to be great and i am excited about the whole thing but the title of it is "Do Work". so basically we are going to talk about Power, meaning that we are going to talk about how much work can get done in the least amount of time. Well, this got me reviewing alot about CrossFit and what i do. Its funny how i can forget just how great something can be, and its amazing when i think about the richness and true sustaining ability CrossFit offers. Basically there was no mistake whatsoever in its creation it had a purpose from the very beginning and a great identity, it was to prepare each and every person who did it for any given situation that could come about, and for many people who have done it this meant that they could once again experience life to any capacity that approached them. CrossFit is "Constantly varied functional movement executed at high intensities". This is CrossFit's identity, this is how and why it was created, to help us get work done! So this is the question today, what is your identity ? If you dont know, then ask the one who created it. We were made to get work done, and get it done in the most functional way possible; we were made for power, in fact all the power in the world! In finding your identity you find your ability to "Get Work Done". What is your identity?

Yes Sir!!

I had a very good conversation with my wife the other day about the importance of Joy in ones life. I came to a very reocurring revelation about the importance of Joy and how strong it is within the human spirit. Where are we finding our Joy today? You should always know that you are the Joy of the Lord and that he delights in you greatly! So i dont know if that helps you at all but if you are having a hard time trying to find your Joy, just know that Jesus is there just longing to give people their Joy back! You just gotta ask. You Are Joy!!

Getting the Job Done

2009-05-19T08:51:00.000-07:00

there are those times in life when we just have a goal that must be accomplished in order for us to reach a certain pennicle that we have set for ourselves. Of course when these goals are set we are very positive and upbeat about them, and its very possible that we are able to stay that way for a while. But almost always before the end of that goal we begin to doubt, we begin to not really give all of our selves to the cause at hand. And in turn we become weak! But you know what, its those times that you yourself really see what you are constructed of. Are you the person who will allow yourself to fall back in a spirit of timidity, or the kind who wont. We can recognize the ones who dont, by the way they simply buckle down and get the Job done. Those are the kind of people who rise to the occasion, perhaps not in a way that is noticeable until finished. But it gets done none the less. And when accomplished they are strengthened, and guess what, when they are strengthened everyone around them now has the ability to become stong. Lets be the people who get the Job done so that the world around us can have the possibility to become strong.

Jesus has been teaching me lots of things ever since i have asked him to, and a major one in my life has been humility. Humility, thats a hard word to say and an even harder one to grasp and accept. I suppose that is why i like CrossFit so much. every time i enter through that garage door i realize what is about to happen, no ifs ands or butts, I am about to be humbled. Whether it is tequnique or the fact that i'm just not strong enough to finish a WOD the way i had envisioned, I will be humbled. that is a good question for all you readers out there today, are you walking in humility? i am so grateful to be involved in an occupation that is surrounded by people who dont mind learning a little humility simply to paint a better picture of their life. Also i appreciate everyone out there for the help of keeping me that way also, and i am truly sorry for the times i am not. please have a joy filled day!

we have now officialy moved gyms and are very happy with the change. we have alot of other changes on the way that are also very exciting, but you cant move forward and enjoy it with out looking back at where you came from. we started out small, and in all consideration are still small, but great big things are on the way, i might not know or understand what they are, but i am willing to embrace the future with open arms. let us continue to move forward with all boldness and ever increase our strength and endurance, so that when the times come around where we must fight through the pain to go on to new heights and fortitudes, we simply will be able to!

my first day in Austin town for a CrossFit business seminar hosted by Jeremy Thiel of CrossFit Central. My big sis Crystal who is a full time trainer there, and my best friend Ben and I just hit up a little welcome WOD. DUDE ITS HUMID OUT THERE!!!!

Agreement is a wonderful thing. especially if there are a large amount of people who are involved in one. when this happens the end result could be called many things, one of which i will use as community. see a lot of what keeps people going strong in Crossfit is the community which forms between each class, there is a certain strength that is formed between people who push themselves to the limit with others who agree to do the same. if only this sweet fellowship happened all over lifes struggles! so here is the question; are you being someone who is encouraging people to succeed at life today? or are you one of the ones who will never come in to sacred agreement, the agreement to succeed. you have the choice today. are you going to be one who gives light to the world around you, ever increasing, ever growing? or will you stay complacent? i beg you to enter into agreement with me today to be more, to be free to live life the way it was given to be made and to give that life away free of charge to those who need that very same freedom. as Paul said in scripture "it is for freedom you have been set free." rejoice in this and allow this freedom to consume us from the inside out! agree with those around you to embrace this freedom whole heartedly so that we can become true community!

i would like to take today to tell everyone who has been a supporter and a client of CrossFit South Plains and of me, thank you so very much! i absolutely love what it is that i do and i love to see everyone improve on a daily schedule. it truly is amazing what we as people can get accomplished by working together, and being of one mind and spirit in Jesus. thank you all once again may you truly be blessed in life, no matter how it comes.

2009-04-08T12:30:00.000-07:00

we have been having great wod's and lots of improvement. be sure to keep your nutrition dialed in, it is key in the broad realm of fitness and wellness. you must keep up your energy levels. amidst all that keep up the good work guys.

pushing on

2009-04-03T13:55:00.000-07:00

at crossfit the most dangerous opponent is often yourself. after a certain point of acheiving fitness it no longer comes a situation of not being able to perform, but simply the will to overcome what the mind is wanting to make shut down. we as people have crazy amounts of potential and we have even crazyer odds of never finding it. how far will you search, how hard will you push yourself to truly find how far your true strength stretches out. the sweet Lord created you with courage and a heart dont make the mistake of using it only to 50% of its max. doing amazing guys keep it up!

2008-08-19T10:18:00.000-07:00

Me and Crystal. Thanks for everything sis!

2008-08-19T10:01:00.000-07:00

This journey has started out even more amazing than i could have imagined. I am extremely excited about what the future holds. We will not be among those cold and timid souls that neither know victory nor defeat. We will be those who stood the test of time and of the world; and who ran our race to the finish.

Some of the Lubbock Crossfit crew and myself doing redneck olympics in the backyard. This just shows how having no equipment shouldn't stop anyone from getting a good workout in!
