Backblast: The One with the Rainy Pearls 🌧️

What started as a **cool and clear** morning quickly turned into a mid-workout **downpour**. But did we stop? Of course not! We adapted, embraced the gloom, and finished strong. Eight HIM showed up, and while we started dry, we ended up soaked—both from effort and the rain. 🌧️💪

Conditions: Cool, clear at the start, then **rainy halfway through**. 🌧️

We are **loved by God, made in His image, and precious to Him**. So precious that He sent His only Son to die on the cross to save us, so we could spend eternity with Him in heaven. Love your family and those around you, not just on Valentine’s Day, but every day. ❤️
