Things don’t always work out the way you like.

Derek Redmond was a world-class runner from England.At the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, he was strongly favoured to win. When the gun signalled the beginning of the race, Derek exploded out of the blocks. From the very moment he started sprinting, it seemed apparent he would win. But he didn't.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZlXWp6vFdE

Things don’t always work out the way you like.

In a painful and humiliating moment, Derek's hamstring snapped.

The pain was so intense, he collapsed on the track.

However, then and there Derek did the unexpected.

He got up.

He began to hop down the track. As he hobbled along in sheer agony, a man pushed his way past the security guards and ran onto the track.

The man was Derek's father. He put his arm around his son and told him he did not have to finish the race. But Derek kept going, sobbing as he went.

He didn’t give up!And so, Derek crossed the finish line… The crowd of 65,000 people came to their feet and gave him a standing ovation.

It was the loudest ovation of the games. In spite of the pain... in spite of the humiliation... in spite of the shattered Olympic dream.

Derek finished the race!

Are you determined to finish your race?You may not be the most successful. You may have big obstacles between you and your goals.Don't let these things stop you.Whatever you aim yourself toward... keep going and...FINISH.

At times, it may take heroic inspiration, courage, determination and perseverance, but you will cross the finish line.You will be a winner…

did not give up... he finished the race

You Raise Me Up

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;When troubles come and my heart burdened be;Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;You raise me up... To more than I can be.

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.(Isaiah 40:29-31)

When I am down and O my soul so weary

When troubles come and my heart burdened be

Then, I am still and wait here in the silence

Until you come and sit awhile with me

Until you come and sit a while with me

Until you come and sit awhile with me

So I can stand on mountains

To walk on stormy seas

I am strong when I am on your shoulders

You raise me up to more than I can be

So I can stand on mountains

You raise me up

To walk on stormy seas

I am strong when I am on your shoulders

You raise me up to more than I can be

Until you come and sit awhile with me

So I can stand on mountains

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains

You raise me up

To walk on stormy seas

I am strong when I am on your shoulders

You raise me up to more than I can be

Until you come and sit awhile with me

So I can stand on mountains

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains

You raise me up

To walk on stormy seas

I am strong when I am on your shoulders

You raise me up to more than I can be

You raise me up to more than I can be
