Workouts

So for any of your runners out there who compete in the 1600 meter, I found these two links that I thought I would share. Yesterday I was just searching online to find some more tips and exercise ideas to better my one mile race time and found these two sites helpful. 

Hope you do as well :-)

Arm workout

So I found this workout this evening and decided to give it a shot. The only thing I did different to make it a little harder was I did 3 sets of the whole workout. 

Hope you try it! 💪💪

Veterans Day

Here is a big THANK YOU to all the veterans who have served our country and given up so much for our freedom! 

We are so grateful! 

Huntin'

 My sis is taking some funny pics while we are sitting here in our stand :-)

This was while we were still in Texas. This past hunting season 

The Cherokee Indian

The Cherokee Indian

Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian

youth's rite of Passage?

 

His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds

him and leaves him alone.

 

He is required to sit on a stump the whole night

and not remove the blindfold until the rays

of the morning sun shine through it. 

 

He cannot cry out for help to anyone

 

Once he survives the night, he is a MAN.

 

He cannot tell the other boys of this experience,

because each lad must

come into manhood on his own.

 

The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild

beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some human might

do him harm.  The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump,

but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only

way he could become a man!

 

Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold.

 

 

It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump

next to him.

 

He had been at watch the entire night,

protecting his son from harm.

 

 

We, too, are never alone.

 

Even when we don't know it, God is watching over us,

Sitting on the stump beside us.

 

When trouble comes, all we have to do is

reach out to Him.

 

 

Moral of the story:

 

Just because you can't see God,

Doesn't mean He is not there.

 

"For we walk by faith, not by sight."

 

If you liked this story, pass it on.

 

 

Deer Season!!

It's deer season ya'll!!!

Playing risk with grandpa!

Me, my sis, mom, dad, and grandpa (mom's dad) are battling out a game of Risk tonight!! 

Quote

Here is a quote I wanted to share with you. 

It is by one of the the greatest generals there ever was. (At least in my opinion) 

General Robert E. Lee! 

I love civil war history and reading about the great Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. They were such great men! 

Evening hunt

In the tree stand with dad and little bro right now :-) waiting for the big boy to come out!

Lord's Day

"This is the day that the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." 

Psalm 118:24

Colorado Pictures Part 1

So in Septemebr we went to Pagosa Springs Colorado, elk hunting. We've been going there every year to elk hunt for the past like 4 years, and this year we finally got a cow!!!! (Which is a female elk) And we got her on our last day to hunt!! Dad got one shot at a bull, but it was a rushed shot since the bull didn't want to stop and check out dads calling. But that's ok! We were just happy to have finally gotten a elk! 

Btw I know it's kinda late to be posting pics from September, but I am just be getting to it so.... Here we go! 

This was our first day hunting. We called up a bull at 60 yards, but then a mountain lion came out and scared him off. 

Group pic of us kids at a cute little town that we went to one day. 

Dad took this pic of me and little bro while we were just sitting there killing time so we could go on our evening hunt :-) 

Mom took a quick picture before me and dad packed the rest of our camp up to where we were staying for a few days to hunt. 

Dad's elk he got on our last evening hunt!! It was a very quick thing too. We had a bull bugle back at me a few times but we could tell he was a ways away. Then all the sudden this big cow steps out and dad shot her all in a blink of an eye. 

Pretty pic :)

Youth Deer Season

It's youth season everyone!!! Which also means rifle season is up next!!! 

We went hunting this morning and saw an 8 point buck and also a 10 point, but let both of them go as they weren't that big. 

Have a great weekend, and happy hunting to those of you who are hunting this weekend!! 

Who's Hands

I got this in an email today and just wanted it share it. :-)

Who’s Hands?

 

A basketball in my hands is worth about $19. 

A basketball in LeBron James's hands is worth about $33 million. 

It depends whose hands it's in.

 

A baseball in my hands is worth about $6. 

A baseball in Felix Hernandez' hands is worth $275 million. 

It depends on whose hands it's in.

 

A tennis racket is useless in my hands. 

A tennis racket in Andy Murray's hands is worth millions. 

It depends whose hands it's in.    

 

A rod in my hands will keep away an angry dog.

A rod in Moses' hands will part the mighty sea. 

It depends whose hands it's in.

 

A slingshot in my hand is a kid's toy. 

A slingshot in David's hand is a mighty weapon.

It depends whose hands it's in.

 

Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in my hands is a couple of fish sandwiches.

Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in the Messiah's hands will feed thousands.

It depends whose hands it's in.    

 

Nails in my hands might produce a birdhouse. 

Nails in the Savior's hands will produce salvation for the entire world. 

It depends whose hands it's in.  

 

As you see now, it depends whose HANDS it's in. 

So dear Friend; put your concerns, your worries, your fears, your hopes, your dreams, your families and your relationships in Jesus hands because... 

 

It depends whose hands it's in.  Author Unknown 

 

 

Exercise!!

Just finished the day out by running another 2 miles with my dad, and then lifting weights with both my mom and dad. Awesomeness!! 

"Excuses are useless. Results are priceless."

Psalm 145

I just want to share a few verses that I read earlier today: 

"I will extol you, O my God, O King; I will bless Your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless You, and I will praise Your name forever and ever. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts. I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, and on Your wondrous works. Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts, and I will declare your greatness. They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness, and shall sing of Your righteousness. The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and great in mercy. The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works." 

Psalm 145: 1-9

This is how I feel after dad getting his buck!! It's our turn up next ;-)

Dad's 10 point!

Dad just shot a 10 point buck with his bow!! Makes me even more excited for rifle season!
