Hi Everyone,
I posted something similar to this on my face book. The last six months have been the most trying of my life. I have been tested and tried to almost breaking. Sometimes I wonder how I can make it through one more day. Divorce brings out the very worst in people and causes them to do things they wouldn't normally do, but I also believe it shows the true character of a person when they are pushed to the breaking point. I am hoping that soon my divorce will be final and I can move on.
I believe in true love more than ever. I believe in my heart that true unconditional love will always triumph. Although the last year and a half has been trying I have been so blessed to know the people who truly love me. These people have stood beside me no matter what. I have had dozens of people tell me how much they loved me, yet when my hour of trial came they not only weren't there for me, they turned on me. But, at the same God has surrounded me with some amazing people who love me unconditionally.
Crossfit Sierra Nevada is where I coach these days, and what a great place it is. CSN has become my new church, filled with awesome people and new friends. Willie Kahl and the everyone at CSN opened their hearts to me and gave me a place to coach and teach. I am so thankful to everyone at CSN who calls me "Coach".
Powerlifting and weightlifting have been a major part of my life for over 35 years. Trials have come and gone. Hardship and joy, but there is one constant in my life- the iron and the challenge to lift it. The iron is as much a apart of me as the air I breathe. I thank God that he has given the health and the strength to chase my dreams. I hope all of you will chase your dreams and find true love.
Coach George W. Phipps
