You don’t have to go far to find Wayde van Niekerk’s name – he has been splashed across all media both online and in the print media – on TV and on the radio – his name has been spoken countless times over the last few days.
Today as Mike and I went out for breakfast, a headline caught my eye that I guessed had a deeper meaning. It was the sport section of the Cape Times and it was a clever play on words…
Of course, many would read that as being the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio, but reading between the lines, literally, I knew there would be more. It’s a clever play on words, but clearly Wayde is making his faith known….I read through the article and there it was…Wayde saying he has watched the race a number of times and he says, “I can’t…
“I just said Jesus take over.”
It’s an achievement to break a world record that has stood for 17 years, but it’s a greater achievement to acknowledge where the talent comes from and to Whom the credit must go.
That’s Wayde’s winning way.
I was so excited to hear his story – born at 29 weeks, he was not expected to live…
Check his most unlikely coach!
God can use anyone!
He can use Wayde.
He can use “Tannie Ans Botha”.
He can use you in your world too!
Wow what an inspirational story.
