I received a really cool and suprising email this last few days. It was from a swimmer that I new previously who stopped comepting over the last 2 years. It was in response to the Gods Champions blog. I trust the individual wont mind - no names - but i have put an snippet from the email in here.
"it seems that God is doing so much with swimming at the moment and making a stand within it. I was always so disappointed in myself that i didnt make more of an impact in other people lives for Christ when I had the chance for so many years, but we all grow and learn from our mistakes. Its so inspiring watching swimmers grow in christ as it has always been viewed from the inside as a sport that is about dedication, but so secular in its persuit of drinking and sex unfortunately. Im writing to you to encourage you in your stand for christ its so awesome that you want to make a difference from the inside..."
This was so inspiring. Guys it is never too late to start and try make a difference and testify to our faith. The important thing is too learn from our mistakes and make that stand. Make that stand now! And dont wait any longer. As mentioned in the email as sportsmen there are opportunities all the time, so seize the moment and Just do it!
Just as the individual encouraged me to to stand for Christ i want to encourage one of you that read this blog to make a stand. If you have not up until now it is not too late, but start! Once again it is encouraging to see what is happening and to the person who emailed thanks for your words.
God bless
