I am totally addicted to the Olympics!  I love to watch these amazing men and women push themselves to the limits.  I love how they train so hard for these two weeks.  I can't help but notice what they do before their race or event is about to start.  Gymnastics is my favorite and they always talk to their coach the whole time they are waiting and about to get onto their apparatus.  Their coaches give them their direction.  They give them the tips they need to make themselves go that extra mile to aim for that gold medal.  They depend heavily on their coach.  They trust their coach.  They know their coach will do and say whatever it takes to make them the absolute best that they can be.  Wouldn't you love to have a coach like that?  Someone who is always there for you.  Someone to calm your nerves, pick you up when you fall, give you that direction that you crave, someone who can push you to be the best that you can be, someone will stop at nothing to ensure that you are number one.  Well, you can!  Jesus can give you that direction to a relationship to our Heavenly Father.  God can be that amazing coach to get you through it all.  Joshua 1:9 says, "Have I not commanded you?  Be strong and courageous.  Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."  I don't know about you, but having a life coach that will be with me wherever I go sounds pretty awesome.
