Well it is about that time. I am gearing up, grinding out, and remaining positive. I want to be at my peak when I get in the cage. I am diligently trying to make sure my mind, body, and spirit are as one. I've placed myself on a strict diet, training harder than ever, getting my spiritual self in place. Before I forget I want to thank God for PATIENCE. If I didn't learn anything in 2008, I learned patience. I came really close to making The Ultimate Fighter show, making my pro debut, but what God has for me is for me. His clock said it wasn't time yet. When much is given much is required. I know God has a purpose and a plan. I just want to be ready to receive all the blessing he has stored up for me. There is a great passage in the good book of James (extremely paraphrased) it tells you to count it all joy when you face various trials. These trials test your faith, and the testing of your faith produces patience. So that Patience will have its PERFECT work, leaving you PERFECT, ENTIRE, and wanting for nothing. I don't know about you, but I'm pressing towards that mark. All the roads in between will come to pass. I want to thank you for your continued support. Keep your ears open this year. I plan on making a little noise......with a little help of course^.
