The most important lesson that I have learned is to trust God in every circumstance. Lots of times we go through different trials and following God's plan seems like it doesn't make any sense at all. God is always in control and he will never leave us.

I think I'm a person who is proud of my [Christian] faith and where I come from.

I have learned that track doesn't define me. My faith defines me. I'm running because I have been blessed with a gift.
