Is.
Necessary.

We create.
For.
Our athletes.
Are not.
Perfect.
As we.
All.
Have.
Misprescribed.
Sets.
Reps.
Volumes.
And.
Intensities.
But.
God has.
A perfect plan.
That.
Matures us.
On.
Our race.
Through life.

Over.
The last.
Two years.

I know.
His chastening.
Will.
Yield.
Good fruit!
As I.
Remain.
Dogged.
About.
Fulfilling.
God’s will.
For.
My life.

Will yield.
