Hello there. My name is Trapper Denton and I am starting this blog to share my life with you. The name of my blog consist of two things that I hold close to my heart and one that I have a love/hate relationship with. Church has been a part of my life when I was younger and attended with my neighbors growing up until they moved away when I was in the 10th grade. I no longer went to church until my met my wife and started attending again. While going to church with my neighbors, it planted a seed within my heart and I begin to ask questions. At the time, I was around 12-13 years old and it was not long until I went to our neighbors home one afternoon and ask her to help me get saved. It felt like a weight had been taken off my shoulders and I felt free. Fast forward a couple years later and they have moved out of state and I fell out of church and back into the world. I didn’t begin going to church again until my met my wife at college (thankfully I did and more on her later) and my relationship with Jesus was rekindled and started to grow strong again. Fast forward again 14 years later, We have 11 years of marriage and two children, I have been a Sunday school teacher, youth leader, and recently became an ordained deacon. My relationship with Jesus is strong and I try to live for him daily to be a great example for his glory.
The next topic is Family. Growing up I was fortunate to have great parents who pushed me to be the best I could be and never can I remember of them ever discouraging me to chase me dreams. Now that I am a dad to a handsome young man and a beautiful girl, I can’t thank my parents for being a great example for me. My wife and I have been married for 12 years and like I mentioned above, we were blessed to be given the opportunity to raise two children of our own. My wife has been such a blessing in my life because the most important thing she has done was help me get my relationship with Jesus back on track. Being a Christian isn’t always a smooth ride. The world is going to temp you in sooo many ways and that is when you can lean on the Wisdom and strength that the Holy Spirit gives you to overcome those obstacles. To finish up my family, I made a personal vow to myself and Jesus to try to be the best husband and father I can be. Let’s be honest here, I have failed those roles multiple times in terms of not being supportive as I should or just being selfish about things but I’ll never quit or turn from that vow.
Lastly, Fitness. I wish you could see my face when I think about this. Sports have always been a part of my life and I’ll always have that competitive heart to win but working out or improving my fitness has not always been a priority. As I have gotten older( 32 as I write this post) I realize how important your level of fitness is. I work in the field of Physical Therapy as a PTA and see this quite often. I have always been a fan of CrossFit but haven’t worked up enough courage to attempt such workouts. My plan with this blog is to help it hold me accountable to working out and improving my fitness level. I’ll leave you with this quote that I’ll use on my journey to become in better shape. “If it doesn’t challenge you, it will not change you”. So as I embark this journey, I plan to challenge myself both physically and mentally to improve my over well-being. Thank you for reading and looking forward to sharing my life with you!
