A CHAMPION IS BORN!!!

Filed under: Journal — Hannah Steffens @ 7:41 pm

That Champion is my sister Molly!

This last weekend, my sister Molly stepped out and took the first step to a long time dream of hers.

She stepped into the ring! That’s right, a boxing ring! Actually this time, the ring was an ultimate fighting ring. My sister and the girl she fought were the only females in the whole event. It was AMAZING!!! They were the best fight of the night!

My sister inspired me soo much as I watched who she used to be, shed off, and a whole new amazing, beautiful, confident women stepped out to lay hold of a dream. She will never be the same! People change soo much when they go after their dreams! It’s a wonderful thing!!! Like a child being born! It’s a new thing!

There is nothing more amazing then to watch the making of a champion! Everyone has a dream that is fed by a desire. Only those who fallow that desire will ever become who they have always wanted to be. And hopefully that desire is to be a champion! Whatever you do! Even in your job!

Just before the fight begins, one by one the fighters are escorted out to the ring by there coaches. When Molly’s competitor walked out, she was prancing, and acting out that of a super star. It was like her show of pride. She wanted to look tough.

When my sister walked out, she walked with her head looking down, and extreme focus in her eyes. She never pranced like a wild horse, or even tried to look tough. She had a quiet confidence.

For years now, Molly has always loved boxing with me! I used to want to fight before I got into bikes! I know some people think it is wrong, especially for girls, but no one can understand the desire of ones own heart! People told me I should’nt be riding a bike. But you know what, you loose a part of yourself you can never get back if you don’t fallow your dreams. Atleast try them out. Who knows, it may lead you into something even greater.

I thought skiing was the be all end all for me. Boy was I wrong! I always said I would never ride a bike, and look at me now!

People who trash talk other people for following their hearts desire, are only jealous. They may use every reason in “their book” to put you down, but don’t let them steel your heart. Who are “they” anyway?!!!

NEVER LET THE ODDS KEEP YOU FROM DOING WHAT YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART YOU WERE BORN TO DO!!!

My sister went against all odds, and voices that told her not to. And I have to say, I am soo proud of her for following her heart! She won that fight, and she will win many many more. Not just in the ring, but in life! Why? Because she’s tasted victory, and now she craves it!

I’m soo proud of you Molly!!! :)

That’s why I love the Bible. It’s all about VICTORY!!!

  3. Congrats to MollY! I am trying to follow my dream of being a great writer, so I know the road blocks and the “voices” that say no all too well.

    Congrats to Mick! I see he won at the event in Europe.

  7. Hannah,
    Our family is traveling to Australia in January to mountain bike and Jeff hopes to do some racing. We will be landing in Sydney. Would you be able to help us find our way to the mountain biking in Australia?
