To the TO GOD BE THE GLORY SPORTS audience
 

To God be the Glory Sports will embark on a new chapter by opening the new sports complex on June 1, 2008.

From the time we acquired the property until the opening day was 3 years and 8 months.

That is 1,516,800 minutes of time that TGBTG devoted to achieving this milestone for this organization. Ironically, that number is very close to the actual dollar amount spent on the 22,400 square foot Project Build A Gym facility.

God intends to grow all of us through our experiences in life.  The To God be the Glory Sports Project Build A Gym experience has certainly given me a new understanding of these 5 facts.

•         All good things take time.  Be flexible with your intended time-lines, but remain diligent.  Do the job as quick as possible, but never in a rush.
   

•       Most things will not work out quite like you want it to, but it will work out with faith and hard work
   

•       Make the most of all of your resources.  If you have a straight forward plan of action, most people that can help you will help you.
   

•      Be prepared to put more into it than you thought you would have to.  In all things.  Most times, achieving something worthwhile will require a larger investment than anticipated, but that will prove to you in the end that you had more in you than you even knew to begin with, and
   

•      Do what you do for God's glory.  The less people in your ear about things, the better. When you have a true relationship with God, you can endure anything.  You are fit for the task.  You know where your help and strength comes from.  You will be guided in all wisdom how to do what, and what to do when, and most importantly, why you are doing it all.

             I admit I knew very little about construction prior to this endeavor.  By God's grace, I've been afforded somewhat of an apprenticeship in contracting because of my hands on involvement with every phase of Project Build A Gym.  It's going to be a privilege to maintain my hands on involvement working with the at risk youth in Houston as well as various pro sports federations around the world.

             To God be the Glory Sports is about growing, learning, improving, enhancing, and any other adjective that would emphasize people doing their best and achieving in life.  I invite you to come visit the To God be the Glory Sports Complex in Houston, Texas whenever you are in my city.

 June 1, 2008 -   A New Beginning for our organization.  To God be the Glory.
