4 days out 🇺🇲

First Powerlifting America meet. This Saturday, the 26th, I’ll step on the platform with one goal in mind to qualify for Open Nationals in February.

A lot has happened to get me to this point, and this journey hasn’t gone the way I thought it would. But I’m learning to trust God’s plan, even when I can’t see what’s ahead. I’m just grateful to have another opportunity to compete, chase my goals, and see what I’m capable of.

One lift at a time. One day at a time. Trusting God through all of it.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” — Proverbs 3:5

I think I’m finally starting to realize that I have to accept what has happened in my life and stop living in the “what ifs.” What if my relationship had worked out the way I thought it would. What if I had won Nationals my last year as a Junior lifter. What if my law enforcement career had gone the way I originally pictured it. What if certain things in my life had happened differently.

But the truth is, they didn’t. And I can’t keep going back to a version of my life that doesn’t exist anymore. I can’t change what happened, no matter how badly I wish I could.

If you would’ve asked me four years ago if I thought I’d be where I am today, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. So much has changed. I’ve lost people, lost relationships, had dreams not work out, and had to start over more times than I ever thought I would. But somehow I’m still here.

Maybe life isn’t about everything going the way I planned. Maybe it’s about trusting God even when I don’t understand where He’s taking me. I don’t know exactly what’s next for me, but I’m trying to stop fighting what already happened and start trusting what’s still ahead.

I’m learning to let go of the what ifs and accept that some chapters were never meant to end the way I wanted them to. And maybe that’s okay. Maybe there’s still a reason I’m here, and maybe the best parts of my story haven’t happened yet.

There comes a point in life when you realize you can't save everyone.

You can love someone with everything you have. You can pray for them, fight for them, be there for them, and do everything you possibly can to help them.

But sometimes, no matter how badly you want to change the outcome, you can't.

And that hurts.

I've learned that sometimes all you can do is be there, give someone your love, and hope they find their way.

Don't blame yourself for what you couldn't control.

You can care deeply about someone and still not be able to save them.

Sometimes the hardest thing you have to accept is that you did everything you could.

And that's enough.

Keep loving people. Keep helping people. Keep showing up.

Just remember you aren't God, and you aren't responsible for saving everyone.

Sometimes all you can do is love them, pray for them, and trust God with the rest.

I just want to be real with you guys for a minute.

There have been a lot of moments where I’ve questioned myself and wondered if all of this ( powerlifting) was even worth it. I’ve had days where I felt like giving up, days where I didn’t feel strong, and days where I honestly didn’t know what was next.

But somehow, I keep coming back.

I’m still figuring things out. I still have bad days, I still have doubts, and I still have moments where I wonder if I’m on the right path. But I’m learning and I know I don’t need to have everything figured out right now.

I’m learning to trust God, even when I don’t understand what He’s doing. His timing isn’t always my timing, but I have to believe there’s a reason for every setback, every loss, and every season that didn’t go the way I wanted.

Proverbs 3:5-6 🤍
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

So if you’re going through something right now, I just want you to know you’re not alone.

Keep showing up. Keep taking it one day at a time. You don’t have to be okay every day. You just have to keep going. Because sometimes the hardest seasons of our lives are preparing us for something we can’t see yet.

I’m still fighting. I’m still believing. And I’m still moving forward.

My story is complicated but I'm grateful for every moment memory I’ve made throughout my powerlifting journey. My journey isn’t over yet and neither should your's.
