Janet Lynn Solomon was an Olympic medalist with opportunities to compete all over the world.

Then she was faced with the same choice that a lot of young moms have to make.

Well, the choice was, was I going to continue the opportunities that I had and leave my children at home with no parent there, with some sort of babysitter,

or was I going to be supportive

of my husband and the talents and gifts that God had given to him.

I had just wonderful opportunities coming up, things that I had only dreamed about in my

life, skating at the Metropolitan Opera and the Kennedy Center, which were once in a lifetime

opportunities, but I chose that by God's grace, it was not the right way to go.

This is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee-Demause for Wednesday, February 5th.

Our guest this week on Revive Our Hearts is Janet Lynn Solomon.

And for those of you who follow figure skating, you remember Janet Lynn from the early 70s in particular.

By the age of 19, she had won five U.S. National Ladies Figure Skating Championships

and a bronze medal in the 72 Olympics and bronze and silver medals at World Championships.

Janet, thank you so much for being with us and revive our hearts this week and for sharing

a little bit of your story with us.

Thank you, Nancy.

I'm so honored to be here and that God has provided this opportunity to me, and I'm

delighted to meet you.

Now, to back up a little bit, as you were embarking on this skating career so young,

something also happened to you when you were 12 years of age that really was the foundation for the rest of your life.

Tell us about something about your spiritual journey.

My parents were very faithful in bringing our family to church every Sunday from the time I was little.
