Ran across this inspiring story recently. Enjoy!
Lornah Kiplagat learned to run because she did not want to be late for school. Each morning, this little Kenyan girl would help her father milk the family cows as soon as there was enough light from the rising sun. Then she would run the fourteen miles from her home to school. Lornah was an eager student who knew that education would provide her an opportunity for a better future. At the time she didn't realize that her running was laying the foundation for her world-class status as a long-distance runner. She just ran because she was poor. But in the process she developed the discipline and stamina to rise above any and all competition in running. She currently holds world records in road racing in the 5,000 meter, 20,000 meter, 10 mile and half marathon runs.
Could it be that there is a blessing and an opportunity in something you only see as a hardship today?
