Verse of the day
Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord is the Rock Eternal.
—Isaiah 26:4
I Am, who is and was and will be forever, I trust that you are and will always be my God, my Redeemer, my Savior, my Shepherd, and my Father. I commit all my tomorrows to you. In the name of Jesus my Lord I pray. Amen.

The year was 2005 17 years ago this month I was getting ready for my first bodybuilding show I was 25 years old.
I had two jobs at the time my first job I worked from 5 AM until 2 PM distributing beer and wine and grocery stores. Then In The evening I was a repo man I repossessed cars and trucks throughout the state of Oregon. And as you notice in the picture I’m not smiling and I didn’t smile much back then as I was missing some of my front teeth. I had never been to a bodybuilding show but I have been practicing posing in reading about bodybuilding since I was 17 years old. I remember showing up the day of the show to weigh in and I didn’t have enough money to rent a hotel room at the venue so I had to show up for morning Weight. I’ll never forget after the morning show I was laying in the hallway at the venue of the bodybuilding show just waiting for the night show.
That night I won my division in the middle weight class and then go on to win Novice overall bodybuilding title.
Three months later I was working as a personal trainer at golds gym and I was a full-time employee of
that next summer I went on to win the Oregon State bodybuilding championships middle weight division beating out 26 other competitors and from that moment on my life is changed forever.

Gods plan, and my plans are two different plans.
I landed while driving a 98 Ford Ta**us keep hammering young bucks.

When I was 17 years old I would wake up at 4 AM and ride my Huffy bike to the gym. Then at 6:30 AM I would ride my bike back to my house and I would strap this baby girl to my chest and we would take the city bus to high school together. At 3 PM we would get back on the bus together and I would take her to her mom. Then I would get on my bike around 4 PM and go to my dishwashing job that I worked out till 11 PM then I would ride my bike home.
24 years later I’m sitting here at soccer practice watching my son and my granddaughter play on the same soccer team while I get to chat with my daughter about the things we did today the struggles we faced in the exciting things that happen.
The first 13 years of this young lady‘s life I lived in poverty we didn’t go a month in that entire time without having food stamps is our main source for our food income. It was not of a lack of me working because during that entire time I had two full-time jobs sometimes three I don’t ever recall having a day off actually or having time to actually spend raising her I lived in poverty for 13 years while raising my family trying to figure a way out don’t ever give up believe in yourself and most of all don’t be embarrassed about where you came from or how you were raised or your circumstance because that’s what makes your story great much love to all love the trainer dude

Over three months ago my baby girl was attacked. She fought for her life while being car jacked she was stabbed in the face and pulled by her hair to the ground.
This morming at 3:30 am I wake up to this text from her.
3 months ago I almost got my life taken away from me in .2 seconds, today I am working 7 days a week, working out 6 days a week, and have stronger faith in god then Ever, pretty cool.
All because of you though, thank you, you truly impact my life more then you’ll ever know.
God is real
God is good
God heals all things when you have faith.
I love you Haylie Hammond and I’m so dang proud of you never give up baby girl.

Missing my Grandpa today sometimes I just want to call him to tell him what’s going down.
He used to tell me every morning when I called him to chat for the day.

The harder I work the luckier I will get.
He got up every day of his life in the 4am hour. In his last days on Earth I would get up at 3:30 am go over to my moms house and lift him out of bed and get him to the couch for the day. One morning grandma text me at 3:20 like she always did you coming over honey to help grandpa I replied yes. When I got there 30 mins later She had passed away on her makeup table underneath her wedding photo taken over 58 years earlier.
I remember my grandpa asking me to take him in there so he could see her. Then he put his giant hand on my face and started crying. He lived for 18 more days. They believed in me when everyone else gave up They taught me to work hard and play harder. They showed me how to love someone unconditionally.
They are the reason NTTD is who he is. Miss you both. I know your watching from heaven. But I wish I could call you to tell you that I made it that all the hard work is paying off. Thank you so much love we you both so much. As long as I’m alive I will keep waking up at 4 am even if it’s just for the reason of being awake for another beautiful day.
