One More Week!!!




This is Gabe's last week of training here in Bakersfield before we head off to the Olympic Trials!! It is so exciting and nervewracking all at the same time:) WE so appreciate all of the support that all of you have given to us these past few years. This Olympic Trials is so different than 2004, our lives have changed alot. We have made many new friends and have a new church family. And of course many of our old friends and family who were there in 04 are still supporting us and cheering for Gabe now! It is such a blessing to look back at all of our swimming experiences and see the Lord continuing to work. Thank you for being such an integral part of our lives. We love all of you!

Although many things have changed since Athens, one thing always stays the same, God is Soveriegn and God is good ALL of the time!! We are so excited going into this knowing that God's will be done! Gabe is so faithful to use his God given talent to glorify the Lord. That is our prayer for next week..To trust the Lord and lean not on our own understanding! To be humble and allow Him to work through us. I know that if the Lord wills Gabe will make this team! He has put in the work, he has been disciplined and he trusts the Lord. We ask for your prayers as the Olympic Trials approach! We want the Lord to be our focus, we depend on Him for EVERYTHING. We can do nothing good on our own.. We are so grateful for this opportunity and we want to make the most of it! Thank you for your prayers!
