#Weightlifting Olympic Gold Medalist Hidilyn Diaz is a Champion Athlete of God!
The first #Filipino to ever win gold in the #Olympics is a #woman in a manly sport, oh wow! Truly amazing that she has exceeded everyone's expectations! Perhaps it would have come as a shocking surprise to most Filipinos too. Surely not a lot of us expected this to happen! It was only a few years later that I realized, ah she has a "secret" that's why she rose to the very top! I didn't really take notice of it before. Many people aren't aware that she's an athlete for God!
Did you know, back when she was just 17 yrs old and set to compete in the (Beijing) Olympics for the first time she said in a local news interview that she felt called to be God's #athlete . In another interview when she experienced depression back in 2014, she says her faith in God was renewed and she started to pray.
A decade later after she won the gold medal during the Tokyo Olympics, she didn't fail to thank and give glory to God! During the interviews after receiving the medal, she even said that we must pray to Him too! Now that's the mark of a real #champion of the Lord! Apparently she was also given a Miraculous Medal by a friend. They did a novena before the 2020 Tokyo Olympics competition. Many people prayed for her to win and voila! All her sacrifices and hard work paid off indeed with God's grace . ♥️ Each win she has is offered always and presented to the world in thanks to the Lord! #sports #Philippines #tangled #Catholic #Christian #spirituality
