I am humbled beyond belief to be inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame this weekend! In honor of that, each day I'm going to post some of my biggest international wins! Click link in my bio to watch full video.

This is my very first international victory, the 1998 Goodwill Games. It's possibly one of the most important meets of my life, not because it was my first win, but because I was going through a lot in my life and was literally closing in on the end of my rope. In the middle of this competition, I gave my life to Christ. I had no business winning in the state that I was in. Humbly and shakily standing on that award stand, I realized what God was already teaching me. He was showing me that when I put my life fully in His hands, I can trust Him with the outcome. It wasn't about winning, it was about knowing that He was never going to leave me or forsake me, and He still has plans and a future for me.
