Michael Phelps just got his 8th gold medal of the Beijing Olympics. He has trained since he was very young. He has spent countless hours exercising, training, and working out. He his worked to the best of his abilities for these medals. He has accomplished something no one else has ever accomplished. He is not the only one. These Olympics are a showcase for people who have trained their entire lives for this moment. Story after story has come out about families that have had to sell their homes to pay for their children’s training.
Not only am I amazed at his dedication and passion and humility, I am also convicted. Here is a young man who is so disciplined. He is swimming to the best of his abilities for the USA. And I who am working for God Almighty am not as dedicated nor disciplined nor committed as Phelps. I want to emulate his passion for my God. I want to press on with all my strength and go till I cant go anymore.
