Gabe Woodward & Olympic trials

I know many of you have asked so I thought I would post the information here! Last summer, I lived with the Woodward family in Bakersfield. Here is a little reminder pic!

Staci, Hudson, Reese & Gabe

Staci's husband, Gabe, has been training hard for some time now for the 2008 Olympics. He competed in 2004 and has continued to be blessed by God with a great talent in this area. Since I have known Gabe, he has always returned thanks to the Lord for this gift and has desired to use it to bring great glory to our God! (...and this he does!) The Olympics Trials for his events are this week in Omaha, Nebraska. He and Staci are there right now!

He competes in the semi-finals for the 100 on Wednesday and the final for the 100 on Thursday. He needs to be in the top 6 of this event to make the team.

He will swim the 50 on Friday and Saturday and will have to be in the top 2 to make the team for this event!

Below is the televised schedule. Watch if you can but more importantly, pray for Gabe! Of course, we would love for Gabe to make the team and for this we can pray! But we also ask that you pray that Gabe would be a bright light in a dark place and that his competition, his conversations and his perspective and outlook on all things would bring great glory and honor to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We desire so much that the gospel would go forth above all else as Gabe uses this great talent for the glory and honor of our mighty God. Let's pray alongside Gabe and his family for this very thing! I know it would be a great encouragement to him! I will keep you updated as I hear...
