“Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.”
James 1:12

Michelle Akers was a member of the Gold-Metal-winning US Women’s Soccer Team in the 1996 Olympics.? She remains the all-time leading scorer with 92 goals in 109 international matches.

Michelle knows God has a plan for her life.? She knows that, even in the face of at least 2 dozen surgeries in the course of her 15-year career.

She‘s learned a lot about perseverance during those rough times.?

Michelle admits that it was her job to work at accepting His will in order to become the person God wanted her to be.

Friend, you may never become an Olympic champion, but God has a plan for your life too.? It starts by being obedient to Him in Bible study and in prayer.? Be patient!? Ask God to use you right where you are.

“Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.”(James 1:12)
