By age six, Millie Knight had lost 92% of her sight in both eyes and at the same age started skiing. Today, at just 19 years old, Millie is a double Winter Paralympian, three-time Paralympic medallist and current World Para Alpine Downhill Champion – titles she won competing with her sighted ski guide, Brett Wild. Last year Millie was shortlisted for the BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year and Sunday Times Young Sports Woman of the Year awards; and was also made an Honorary Doctor of the University of Kent for Commitment to Sport. In September this year, Millie will be going to University to study Psychology, before defending her downhill world title at the World Championship in Switzerland in March 2019.
The 2018 Winter Paralympics closed with a spectacular ceremony in Pyeongchang. Skier Menna Fitzpatrick and her guide Jen Kehoe, who won Britain's only gold of the Games, led the team into the ceremony in South Korea. The pair were given the honour after they claimed victory earlier on Sunday in the visually-impaired slalom to become GB's most successful Winter Paralympians of all time, thanks to their haul of one gold medal, two silvers and a bronze. Millie Knight and guide Brett Wild also finished their Games on a high with bronze in the slalom to add to their two silvers from the downhill and super-G. It meant the team hit their UK Sport medal target of at least seven medals for their biggest winter medal haul since 1984 and since Lottery funding was introduced in the 1990s.
Two 19 year old women brought home all seven medals for Great Britain from the Winter Paralympics. On the last day, Menna Fitzpatrick and her guide Jennifer Kehoe won a gold medal in the visual impairment slalom. And it was bronze for Millie Knight and guide Brett Wild as the team hit their medal target. Moments after the British flag was raised and the national anthem sung the venue was being dismantled. So what’s next for the Winter Paralympics and PyeongChang? Presented by Beth Rose with JJ Chalmers and Chris Osborne.
Weekly Podcast from Cornerstone Wesleyan Church, North Gower, Ontario www.wearecornerstone.ca The passage: Joshua 8 The one thing: Jesus is the one who gets us back on our feet again Moving on after sin: (1) Do not fear. (2) Do learn from your failures. (3) Don't stay down. Get up! (4) Do follow God's word. Know Like skier Millie Knight, have you ever had to overcome profound fear of failure? Share a little about this experience. Grow As they are skiing, Brett Wild communicates to Millie via a Bluetooth earpiece and skis in front of her wearing a bright orange jacket. In what ways can this be a picture to us of God? The Israelites dealt with their sin in chapter 7. Why is chapter 8 so important as a next step? Can you remember the four steps of moving beyond sin? (1. Don't fear. 2. Do learn from your failures. 3. Don't stay down, get up! 4. Do follow God's word.) Point 2 was Do learn from your failures. The Israelites had to learn not to underestimate their enemy: they brought the entire army with them. In your fight against sin, who is in your army? Do you share with anyone regularly and honestly about your battle with sin? Why or why not? Dan said he has heard people say ‘I wouldn't change anything about my past. It's made me who I am today.' But should we have this attitude about sins we've previously committed in our lives? Why or why not? What do you make of the symbolism of Mount Ebal and Mount Gerizim (the Israelites splitting into two groups and standing in front of the mountains, the writing of the 10 commandments, the reciting of the blessings and the curses? Why did God make it so elaborate? Dan talked about Jesus being a curse-buster. What did he mean by this, and how does Galatians 3:13 shed light on this? Dan talked about Jesus being a cosmic filtration system: curses in and blessings out. Is this a helpful analogy? Where does it fall short? Explain your answer. Show Think of someone in your life that you know is struggling with long term sin that they are not able to overcome. Perhaps they are a Christian. Perhaps not. Take some time to pray for them, and pray for the opportunity to speak God's truth to them. Perhaps it's as simple as sending them the link to Dan's sermon this week.
