Nothing like the Olympic Opening Ceremonies to make you realize how little you know about the world. Seriously, I didn't know some of these countries even existed. I'm so excited for the next two weeks. I love the summer Olympics with all my heart....if I didn't have to sleep (or work) I'd probably watch every single event. It's not just the events themselves that I love though...I love learning about all the athletes - their life stories, their journey to this global event and what it means to them to be an Olympian. I love seeing the determination, the confidence, the relief and the joy on their faces as they compete and win the coveted medals. It reminds me about a journal entry I wrote recently about putting my all into everything I do. More importantly, putting God into everything I do. As a Christian, I live knowing that God is always watching and that people are always watching and therefore I need to be a walking testimony of His goodness. But recently I've realized that everything I do should actually be an act of worship. That means, the way I speak to people, how I work, how I dress, how I love - every moment is a new opportunity to show God how much I love, appreciate and honor Him. How awesome is that? That's what life is all about. We were created to praise and worship God.
Another revelation while watching the Olympic Opening Ceremonies - there are some good looking people in the world. The human race is absolutely beautiful and I think the games are a testament to our strength as a population and the amazingness of the human body.
Will you be watching the Olympics over the next few weeks? What are your favorite events?
