Failure is where the story begins

WARMUP: the usual suspects
THE THANG: Jack Webb’s at the benches with step ups and Bulgarian split squats (4rounds) and then at the playground with merkins and pull-ups (7 rounds)

So as Rainmaker asked during the workout I started my story or testimonial with sharing about my childhood. I grew up with a single mother only child and although I went to Christian schools thanks to my mom, as I got older I started living a double life and got involved with the wrong people and wrong activities, but all the while I still went to church, had a job was going to college doing all those things yet living for myself, letting my jesters have their way and not taking care of myself.

However! God still had a plan for me! and as I got older, even though I got into some trouble, he looked out for me. I found myself with a career at a company that I was able to grow with and learned a lot, and at a certain point got sick of trying to do it all on my own and gave my life back to the Lord…and His infinite grace He blessed us with kids and a career, a business in a new community, of course a great brotherhood with F3 and many other blessings!!

so even though I failed and I continue to fail, God still redeems and uses the broken and I’m a testimony to that. We finished with a discussion on dying to the flesh daily, repentance and how to live third!
MARY: none
ANNOUNCEMENTS: read newsletter
COT: had to dip early so wasn’t there for that!
