There are opportunities in life that come to you and give you the chance to craft a better story for yourself. The question is whether we are willing to say, yes!

I got to meet Tim Tebow! It was great to be able to hear his story and learn about things that most people would never know.

Tim shared with me about growing up on a farm, and playing sports in the back yard with his brothers, he also shared about his family dog Otis. He still got emotional when talking about Otis, who passed away a few years ago.

Tim recounted his love for the game of football and the tough decisions he had to make about which team to play for, even way back in high school, as well as into his college years. Tim shared his life story with such deep honesty and humility.

As I was listening though, one theme kept returning. Work ethic. Much of Tim’s story is a result of his work ethic. If he didn’t train and continually work hard, he would have never made it as far as he has in football.

Tim’s message is encouraging and inspiring, he loves to share his love for God and his love of children. His is an ordinary person God is using to accomplish extraordinary things.

If you haven’t already guessed, I didn’t actually meet Tim, I just read his book Through My Eyes, it was a Christmas present and an excellent one at that! It read as though I was actually sitting in a room with Tim listening to him share his stories. I recommend you read it for yourself. If you are not a football fan it may be difficult to get through some of the chapters that are specifically about football games but the message of the book is very powerful!
