I'm thrilled to be sharing about God chasing me down while at an Olympics in this episode of the Abounding Faith for Today podcast and in this Miraculous Lovely blog post: https://www.miraculouslovely.com/2024/07/29/my-true-gold-medal-moment-my-testimony/ I still write and speak about this moment because God met me and called me to follow Him in such a special way that day in Olympic Park. I also share about this amazing moment in my new book God-Given Dreams: 6 Ways to Live Your Divine Purpose (NavPress, available wherever books are sold) and in By Faith: Adventures and Reflections on Walking With God Here and Abroad (available on Amazon). You can see a few pics from what I call my “Olympiac Daze” in this short video.
