How fast you recover says more about you than how hard you fell.
I've been cut. I've been doubted. I've been written off more times than I can count.
And I've had moments — real ones — where the attitude slipped and the bitterness moved in before I could stop it.
The fall is not the end of the story.
It's just the part before the comeback.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord." — Colossians 3:23
Give everything. Every time
Not because someone is watching.
Not because you'll get credit for it.
Not because it feels significant.
But because how you work is how you worship.
Stop cussing (Eph 4:29).
Stop drinking (Eph 5:18).
Stop giving into lust (1 Cor 6:18).
Stop tearing others down (Eph 4:29).
Stop living worldly (Rom 12:2).
Forgive fast (Matt 18:22).
Open your Bible (2 Tim 3:16).
Go to church (Heb 10:25).
Pray always (1 Thes 5:17).
Seek God first (Matt 6:33).
Change your life by changing your focus. 🫶🏽
Talent is a gift. Excellence is a choice.
God gave you the gift. The excellence is on you.
Every day you decide what to do with what you were given.
The question isn't whether you're talented.
The question is whether you're choosing excellence with what you've been given.
Paths to the NFL aren’t linear:
D1 → NFL
D2 → NFL
D2 → D1 → NFL
D3 → D1 → NFL
JUCO → NFL
JUCO → D2 → D1 → NFL
Different routes. Same destination.
Not everyone’s path is the same, those who want it make it happen 💯
Heaven ushered in a hero of the faith last night as my Dad was welcomed home!
Many will say sorry for your loss but the truth is he’s not lost, we know exactly where he is.
He’s home.
Forever!
I asked him last week what he looked forward to most about Heaven, and he simply said, “Jesus.”
He couldn’t wait to see Jesus face to face.
Praise God that his wait is over.
Death has been swallowed up in victory.
He’s healed and whole now.
So we don’t mourn as those with no hope.
See you soon Dad!
They say a father is the one person who quietly roots for you to outgrow him—to go further, do better, and live bigger than he ever could. There’s something really powerful in that. 🥹💕
