## Caption

I’m still in shock over God’s work this past weekend! A week prior to my competition, I contracted the flu, which kept me out of practice for five days. Nevertheless, I finished third at US Indoor Nationals!

3 Things I learned:
1. The power of God is infinitely more than the number of practice days I have! Yes, I still have to put in the work, but God’s strength comes first. He alone will see me through every race! 
2. God has dominion over my body! When I give my body to God, I compete using His strength, not mine, regardless of how I may be feeling, what hurts, or how exhausted I am. 
3. I worship a good God! Although I’ve always known this, this past weekend felt a little different! God reassured me that He was hearing me by sending my family, friends, and coach to speak into my life at precisely the perfect times. He filled me up with the way He appeared during our alone time! He gave me comfort when, following the first round of competition, I couldn’t run as fast as I wanted to because my mind was being consumed with doubt!!! Before competition started I was so focused on how my body would perform since I was just getting over the flu. But I was reminded of a sermonette my sister was preparing to do for Sunday. Her title was “Perspective in the Storm. Where Does Your Faith Lie”? As I listened to her share, I found myself reflecting on my own faith and how it has helped me through difficult times in the past. It was a powerful reminder that sometimes our perspective can make all the difference in how we weather life’s storms. It’s important to ALWAYS keep our eyes on God. If we don’t we will begin to sink. Matthew 14:27-31
