Her loss. Keep going bro. Her loss. I got this man 💔
My name is Gavin and my goal is to be the best golfer in the world, it may not be a “physical” sport but some day I’m going to do it and when I do remember my name.
My name is Elioneil (Ellie -Ah-Nel) or just Eli. I don’t really know what I want to be in life. But here is what I do know. I was brought to this channel for a reason. We WILL be a growing community. I have that gut feeling that I’m destined for something more, something bigger than me. In the name of Jesus. I will BE more! My current goal. I will be strong and courageous. I will achieve greatness with humility. I will get my physique to where I know it can be and becoming a man that my wife and daughter can be proud of. Finally, I will stand tall before the storm and before the greatness, I will be a Man of God!
