When a Bronze Medal Feels Like the Gold Medal

The Olympics are over, and we're all adjusting to regular life again. As I watched the bronze match for men's tennis, one player wanted it more than the other. The favorite for the gold was in this match; he'd been defeated and now winning this match was his only chance at medaling at the Olympics, an honor that held so much weight. 

In some sports you play for the bronze - soccer, tennis, table tennis, basketball while in others it's automatically based on how you finished. The bronze match is, in essence, a tiebreaker with so much on the line.

Champion

Don't we all wish we could have the title Champion?

Gabrielle Douglas has it.

She's the first African American to win a Gold in the All Around for Gymnastics, and as one of my blogging buddies informed me - this is the premiere event in Gymnastics, what every girl dreams of.

Love is a strong word - but from what I have seen to date I can say emphatically that I love everything about Gabrielle Douglas.
I love her:

• Faith
• Strength
• Athleticism
• Family Support
• Beauty
• Smile
• Composure
• Unconventional Parenting by her mother

Here's my favorite Gabrielle Douglas video:

Be encouraged and inspired. Keep God first, everything else will fall in to place.
