Whenever a dream is dreamed or a vision unfolds, there is always an "enemy" that will challenge it. Whatever the "enemy" is, I find it is usually connected to feeling a lack of something....... time, money, confidence, commitment, or faith. The list is unending.

Relating to a vision or dream, there WILL be a testing period, to see the level or lengths you will go to, to make things happen. There is a fine line to making things happen myself and/or trusting in the goodness of God. Even though I do everything I can do to be found faithful and to do my part, I have found His favor to be far better.......

Today Jordan and company headed to Lake Tahoe, to participate in a bike ride, at least 50 miles. His company pays for his participation in the trip as a "health benefit." My skinny Jordan is becoming quite buff:) He'll be back to work early next week; it's a quick trip.

Chynna's Vista Mar Girls JV team won their first match of the season Friday night, and she was very pleased:) Her hopes of giving private VB lessons and personal training continues to grow. Today she took Janelle Turner paddle boarding for the first time since moving here:)

We are thrilled that Austin finally has a bed and he was able to deflate the air mattress. It's actually a queen size with box spring he found out for trash, but in great condition:) Little by little, the styrofoam coolers he was using have been moved out of his BR. Now, I'm using them for storage....

Logan and I are being schooled in the Southern CA Club VB scene, second year in. It's kind of like a meat market, depending what club tryout you're at. You can feel the vibe and it's rough. Logan's maturity level allows him to handle the process well. He's had several offers come in from clubs he's only dreamt of playing with when living back east....................

The tests we've been through reveal character, cockiness, confidence or criteria; the internal is always revealed externally. I'm told there is a "goodness" we have brought to SoCal...... I know that cannot and will not change........ no matter the present culture.

Your support and love means the world to me; I don't know if I can truly convey how much you help get me through and motivate me...... Honest to God, I would never be able to do this. We have big plans and my ideas continue to flow......

It's time to get some new plans and make it happen......

As a younger woman I was impressionable yet with my own intuition. I had many ambitions but no way to translate them into realities. I envisioned myself in a successful business venture, but without a concept of how to create that life for myself.

I didn't know what I wanted to do even as a senior in high school; I felt lost in many ways. I opted for a Business School degree and marriage. I don't remember having anyone speaking into my life, providing direction, so I found some on my own.......

They were my choices to make; however, I needed guidance and good words to help me find a future for myself. When a future isn't envisioned, people perish..... and we are seeing this taking place in drastic ways through dependency issues......

In the past few months, I have had to rise up on behalf of myself, my kids, and the young ones in my life. There are those who will try to tell you who you are, and without a good sense of yourself, you will begin to believe them, whether truth or lies..... which can alter the course of your destiny.

Most do not speak with objectivity but rather with insecurities and jealousies. I've learned to choose to speak life into the young with purpose and intent, so they know they have something meaningful to live for. Previous generations have had their share of problems, so why do we choose to pass them onto our kids? They are meant to live for so much more.....

This generation will be lost if we adults don't get in touch with reality, in the nation and locally. God help us.

Let them go further, faster and farther than we ever imagined.
I know that day is coming.......
