WHO TOLD THEM, THAT THEY COULDN'T SUCCEED?


SHANI DAVIS, OLYMPIC GOLD & SILVER METALIST (2010 & 2006),
CURRENT WORD RECORD HOLDER, 1000M AND 1500M (2009)

How precious is your unfailing love, O God!
All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings.
Psalm 36:7



I don’t know who told them that they couldn’t do what they dare to dream and succeed in? Don't know! Who am I speaking of? Athletes and those with athletic spirits of course! But, I do know what they’re accomplishing speaks volumes about their grit and resolve! We can relive the history of their amazing accomplishments because of this innovative age of the internet. I thank God for that marvel of technology! Need some awe inspiring moments to get your momentum and stride back?
Well friends put your olympic gear on and celebrate with Shani Davis and the other sellar olympians. Choose your favorite team or personality it doesn’t matter. What matters is these athletes are true spiritual models in human form. They are fearfully and wonderfully created. They are winners, who don’t give in and give up. Winners that are breaking records and defying the odds, ignoring the nay sayers and donning the gold, silver and bronze metals. But as Shani reminds us it’s about being humaniatarians on a journey, a quest to make a difference. Here let’s take a look at these youtube channels and web sites:

Theses videos chronicle persuaverance and demonstrates tenancity and grit. What we’ve witnessed I pray makes your spirit leap! Whether it be the forceful and determined glides or the death defying freestyle aerial feats of the USA 2010 Olympics Women-all of this encourages my heart, that I simply need to start, do the work, begin the journey and trust that outcome will be favorable. Let's get on board with that perspective. But we must begin. Faith that’s what these athletes have. I don’t pretend to know what voice they’re embracing, but I trust that it’s one that says, “You are a winner don’t quit, stay in the game!” Yes, we too are in the shadow of God’s wings! Oh my friends these brave at heart souls give deeper meaning to the scripture:

“How precious is your unfailing love, O God!
All humanity finds shelter in the Shadow of your wings.”
Psalm 36:7




Expressing Thanksgiving & Joy!
