I really appreciate the message of this post, that sometimes we get to do something big and important and have a moment of glory but other times God calls us to step back and continue to serve in a far less public and acclaimed fashion. I feel the pressure to do something big and exciting but that doesn't mean I stop serving God when He's the only one who sees.

In a time when children's sports dominate many people's Sundays, it will be refreshing for them to see an example of why we don't do Sunday morning sports.

He didn't let it control him,but enjoyed it. Isn't that what we are supposed to do? Enjoy the gifts of God within us, work within His grace so that we can be an extension of Him to the world... be change agents. And of course, the rest of the story. The real beauty of his life is the way He honored God and put Him first. <br />Beautiful post and so encouraging. <br />Blessings,<br />DawnDawnhttp://www.journeysingrace.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8179136029692209759.post-16644851786034848282016-01-29T05:44:57.857-05:002016-01-29T05:44:57.857-05:00Great post!

I love the consistency of his life - that he was willing to give up the Olympic Gold at the last minute to serve God - if that was what God required.
