I knew I wanted that I just hadn't done a very good job. It is so worth the wait and so worth waiting for the right person and not just settling for anybody because you think life is better with somebody, but if it's not the right person it could be a whole lot worse than what you imagine.
Trish Porter Topmiller is a name that resonates with both sports enthusiasts and avid readers. Known for her achievements as a 1988 U.S. Olympian in the high jump and her award-winning writing, Trish's life story is a blend of athletic triumphs and profound personal challenges. In this episode of 'Your Life, Your Story', host Lindsey Waggoner delves into Trish's inspiring journey, from her early days as a competitive athlete to her unexpected spiritual awakening.
Growing up with two younger brothers in a highly competitive household, Trish's passion for sports was evident from a young age. Despite her PE teacher's skepticism, she pursued track and field, eventually qualifying for the Olympic trials in the high jump. Her perseverance paid off when she made it to the Olympic team, where she also met her future husband, Pat Porter. However, Trish's path wasn't always smooth.
She faced setbacks in college, injuries, and the ultimate heartbreak when Pat tragically died in a plane crash. Faced with this unimaginable loss, Trish had to make a pivotal decision: to trust in God's goodness or succumb to despair. She chose faith, and it transformed her life. Trish's book, 'King Here: Never Too OLD, Too RICH or Too ANYTHING to Meet Jesus', captures her journey of rediscovering faith and encourages readers to trust in God's plan.
Through this episode, listeners will hear Trish's heartfelt advice on patience, perseverance, and the importance of not settling for less than God's best. As she poignantly states, "It is so worth the wait and so worth waiting for the right person". Tune in to hear more about how Trish turned her athletic dreams into a deeper spiritual mission.
