Million Dollar Smile :)

If you've watched any of the Olympics up to this point you probably seen a huge spectrum when it comes to personalities. There are some athletes who are stone faced, not knowing whether they've won the gold medal or finished last. There are others who have such spunk, excitement and are so much fun to watch. Some of my favorites to watch are Missy Franklin, John Daley and John Orozko. But my favorite up to this point is gymnastics all around gold medal winner Gabby Douglas. Not only is she an amazing gymnast, but she has a million dollar personality and smile. I'm sure she'll have endorsements and deals waiting for her upon her return to the US, including her picture on boxes of Wheaties. And she is no doubt well deserving of these. She bubbles with joy and exuberance and is so fun to watch, whether she's competing or not. People are intrigued and captivated by her and are trying to figure out what it is about her. The answer is very simple. It's her faith. She loves the Lord and it's obvious. Here's a great link to a clip of her sharing before her church just before heading to London to compete http://www.ktis.org/2012/08/gabby-douglas-talks-about-her-faith/. Watching her love for Jesus should be an encouragement to every Christian. We should be just as excited about what He's doing in our lives as Gabby is about what He's doing in hers. Gabby is pretty stoked about winning the Gold, but she's even more stoked about following Jesus. You just have to love it :)
