All Glory to God
The Story Behind the Design
Giving all the glory to God is not always easy. My senior year of high school I began to write All Glory to God on my back for swim meets. Thinking I was going to have an amazing year and should write it. Well for about 3 weeks after writing it on my back I was doing well, setting decent times for that point in the year. I then began to feel tired, very tired, then my tonsils got so swollen it hurt to swallow. I had tonsillitis and mono. I was looking at a many months battle for healing and energy. It practically derailed the rest of the season. I slugged through what races I could. Through it all All Glory to God remained on my back. Looking back I feel I was being challenged. Did I actually mean what I was writing on my back? God was asking me if I really meant what I was saying. Was I going to give him all the glory even though I was struggling?
Remember "What ever you do whether you eat or drink do all for the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31.

1 Corinthians 10:31
Run With Endurance the Race That is Set Before Us
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:1-3
Run Your Race For The Eternal Prize Christ Has Given You
Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified
1 Corinthians 9:24-27
