An Inspiring Lady
Posted by happygrl6
I don’t have much to write but I wanted to write something. So this is something I’ve thought about sharing for awhile now….
A lady at my PWOC (Protestant Women of the Chapel) group participated in the high jump Olympic Trials. That, in itself, is pretty impressive. But consider this…18 months prior, she was an alcoholic, a pill abuser, cigarette smoker, deep in depression, 80 pounds heavier and hadn’t high jumped in seven years. Oh, and the wife to a deployed soldier and mother to three small children! Something got to her and now she’s so much more than her former self. She is SUCH an incredible lady! You can’t walk away from her and not know that there is something special about her. And you also can’t walk away from her and not know that she lays herself at the feet of God.
First Blog Post w/Intro
One about her jump that got her to the trials
She has a couple articles linked on her blog that detail her trip to the Trials.
She recently moved away for training. I really wish I had the opportunity to really get to know her while she was here. She left quite the impression on me in the short time I was around her. Whatever your religious beliefs, her physical changes alone are inspiring.
