London 2012 - Day 2 (Be Yourself)

After a disappointing first day Team GB managed a bronze and silver on day 2.

The Bronze Medal was won in the swimming pool by Rebecca Adlington who won two gold medals in 2008.

The Drop from Gold to bronze may seem a disappointing result, but not for Rebecca as she stated when she won Gold in Beijing it was a massive surprise, and to win bronze was a great achievement.

Her main event is the 800m Freestyle and to win a Bronze in the 400m freestyle in 2012 was an amazing thing and looks good for the 800m later this week.

Have we put too much pressure on our Olympians? after the Olympics in 2008 the medal count was 19 Gold, 13 Silver and 15 Bronze for Team GB and left us 4th in the medals table. I guess we should hope for beating that total but are we expecting to much?

We can all tend expect to much at times and there is nothing wrong with that as God does in fact promise life in all it fullness, but putting pressure on ourselves to do well and be more successful sometimes brings us down.

We all have faults and can not all be good at sport, we cant all be good at music, we cant all be good at everything. What we can do is be the best at being ourselves because we are the only person that can do that.

God doesn't measure success by how much money you have, how good at sport you are or how many times you read the bible (which is good for me as I have no money, rubbish at sport, and don't read the bible as often as I should).

What God does do is help you to be yourself and gives you a pride in yourself that is far greater than winning Gold. He made you you, and that's what he wants you to be as he can work with that. he doesnt need you to be anything else.
