Family, Friends, and F3 Gastonia….Many of you know that my family lost a niece (Courtney Miller) unexpectedly on May 10, 2019.  This continues to be a tough time in our lives.  Since her passing, I have been thinking of ways to pay tribute to Courtney along with trying to help other people.  On Saturday, August 17th, my family and I will be hosting a Remembrance 5k Run/Walk at Rankin Lake.  This event will be held at 10:00am and is meant for all family members to attend.  The purpose behind this event is to not only celebrate the life of my niece but discuss the direction we would like for this event to go in the future and hopefully give a helping hand to others in need.  This will be a great opportunity to enjoy and cherish the moments we have with our friends and families.  If you plan on attending please feel out the form below so we have an estimate of number of people that will be attending.   If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me at (704)634-3039.

Once again, strong work by all that posted!!  I discussed that everyone that posted got stronger today because they resisted the fartsack.

COT:

Psalm 112:7

COT:

Proverbs 3:5-6

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart

and lean not on your own understanding;

6 in all your ways submit to him,

and he will make your paths straight.

-After reading this verse I discussed how you should ALWAYS “Trust in the Lord” and surround yourself with people that are accelerating like you.  My family and I have gone through some tough times recently and I have reached out to several of you for spiritual help.  I am very thankful and appreciative to have people like ya’ll that can help keep me strong!!  By talking with each of you it helps me to understand and see where I need to work and accelerate more in my life.  I challenge each of you that read this to think about areas that you need help accelerating in and reach out to your F3 brothers to help you.  This is the reason we are together!!!  Not everyone is at the same level but we should be accelerating towards the same ultimate goal!!!

Strong work by all that posted!!!  It is ALWAYS a honor to be able to lead.
