MY WORD FOR AUGUST 2ND IS GOLD!

My word for August 2^nd is GOLD

I love watching the Olympics.  You can see the determination on all of the athlete’s faces as they compete in their chosen sport.  Last night there were several gold medals given to US Olympians. Michael Phelps broke the record for the most career Olympic medals with a U.S. gold in the men’s 200-meter relay.   Women’s swimming and women’s gymnastics also won gold.    I personally love the gymnastics. 

The group of five young women has become known as the “fabulous five”.  This small group of flippers has accomplished a goal that has been long waited for.  The US hasn’t won a team gold medal since 1996.  All five had solid performances on the final rotation, the floor exercise.  Each of the five contributed to the winning score.  They were not just physically prepared they were mentally prepared also.  What an accomplishment for these young women who aren’t even old enough to remember the 96’ Olympics. 

You too can be an accomplished gold medalist.  You may be asking how?  Through hard work and determination, you can win.  It may not be in gymnastics or swimming, but it may be in a goal of your own.   Choose your goal or your dream; it is never too late to dream.  These are the visions of what you want your life to be, the thought of attaining your goal saturates your soul and brings you joy.  Your dream resides within you, but God placed it there.  Just as Jesus said, “apart from Me you can do nothing.”  You can do anything with God’s help.  He will give you the energy and the creativity needed to fulfill your dreams.  Through hard work and determination you can accomplish your goals.  Let the Lord lead you.  Ask Him to be by your side as you endure the pain or the sweat.   

Build your dream on the non-failing never changing foundation of God.  You will know if your dreams come from God if it radiates in your heart and you can’t let go of it. 

Dear Lord we want to accomplish our goals and dreams that You have in store for us.  We know that apart from you we are nothing, so therefore we want you to be  part of the journey.  While we are flipping through life working continuously towards our goals assist us to be balanced.  With Your everlasting love we will reach our full potential during 2012.
