Amanda Graber

Homeschool Mom Getting in Amazing Shape

Fitness For Moms!

Back in the day, Amanda Graber was a nationally ranked table tennis athlete who represented the US at the World University Championships. After getting married and having 5 kids, Amanda took a decade away from the sport to focus on family and homeschooling. Amanda just recently returned to the competition scene as a way of getting fit and spending time with her kids who are now playing. They train regularly at the Samson Dubina Table Tennis Academy, play at home with each other, and even train with their Newgy robot in the basement.

Some players know how to anticipate and adjust quite well during a match, usually these players are viewed as being “SMART”; while others don’t anticipate and don’t adjust well.  On the surface, this article might seem like common sense, but this there is much more depth here.  Let’s dig in…

Bible Verse of the Week

Proverb

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths. -Proverbs 3:5-6
 
So why do I read the Bible?  Why do I pray?  Why do I trust the Lord?
I can be so self deceived about the world, God, myself and many other things.  The Bible commands me not to trust in my deceitful heart but to trust in the Lord.  He can give me wisdom and guidance to guide my life far beyond what I'm capable of doing.  My prayer today is that God would direct my steps, all of them.
