  • we watchted this video at church camp and they said,

    "she was not the girl who fell, she was the girl who got back up and won."

  • Thanks for putting the "inspiring" text over the inspiring video.

  • @haikus575 But at least 'this race is not about a fall' goes well with the music :P

  • "It's probably one of my greatest running memories of all time. It's something that is completely unexplainable to me besides through a higher power. I feel like the Lord just filled me up and gave me the opportunity to show what amazing things can happen through Him."

  • To those asking what this has to do with god, please educate yourselves to fully understand. She does believe in god and has a place for it in her life, despite what you may not know. While it works for her, I realize it may not work for you, but that really does not matter since this is a story about her faith and beliefs and not about yours. Below is an excerpt from a interview with Heather. May god bless all of you.

    "It's probably one of my greatest running memories of all time. It's som

  • see she could of gave up but instead she didnt she got back up and kept on going and won thumbs up if you agree

  • So why didn't God let all 4 fall and then have them tie?

  • Perseverance is key !! never give up

  • WOW!!! I wonder what kind of world record she would have broken if she hadn't have fallen?

    By the way I loved the song chosen for this video.

  • inspirational.. but the words cover too much. what is with the debate? it's a video.

  • Do you either of you have a fucking clue what a joke is? Do you really think I was serious about her making a pact with the devil?!? Thats awesome man. unbelievable. Btw, I'm the one who said she was a kick ass athlete so clearly I was giving her credit. Read the posts before you respond to them.

  • Who the Hell is saying she made a pact with the Devil? You people are naive, you are sheep and will always be unless you change your crappy attitude and respect that girl for succeeding. Are you even certain there is a God? And most atrociously, associating with the Devil? You need to have some sort of brain implant because as far as i'm concerned, there is literally nothing between your ears.

  • @Thuidigotronoma I stalk chu. O3O Joking - I agree with you.

  • How can you, or even the person posted this, know that god had anything to do with it? Maybe she made a pact with the devil.

  • Why do people who don't believe in God feel the need to criticize those who do? You don't have to agree with the message but that's not what Youtube is about. Besides you're all saying this has nothing to do with God but none of you know one way or the other if this Woman could have done this amazing thing without God. It's someone's opinion and that's all that matters. Live and let live

  • i mean the girl step on her head and all.

  • Good thing she had god or she never would have won...right? I mean, he had to have been watching this and said "If ever there was a time to jump in and take over, it's now. World peace can wait." Thanks religion! Or maybe, just maybe, this girl is simply a kick ass athlete. Hmm

  • With God anything is possible.

  • what does this have to do with religion. you cant just take a motivational event and tack on your own slogan

  • Brilliant,Just Brilliant that what running is all about....

  • you all who dislike anout catholicism, get a life. stop this. mind your own religion.

  • @Magicpianoteacher I don't think its about the disliking of a religion, its more about why they needed to add the biblical quote to something that had nothing to do with it. I mean I agree with you, but religion and a track race don't really have anything in common, so there was no reason to add the ending quote.

  • @ajolshavsky i would think the quote has nothing literally to do with the race.. but symbolically.. falling and getting back up can certainly relate to many things and inspire- be it religion, success, hope, all of the above. no one is trying to convert anyone, here. simmer. 

  • @nniferlee1 Did you even read my first comment? I didn't say anyone was trying to convert anyone else.. I was agreeing with the first guy, but just trying to explain why some people are getting mad. I don't see why you thought I was mad either? Nothing I said would infer that I was upset in the least..

  • Never Give Up!

    

  • nice! galing nya

    nothing is impossible...

  • well its not about crist or anything.. shes just a fastest sprinter and she cud really win even from d start his d fastest...

    

  • This video would be better without the text and the preaching, this isn't about religion, that was a triumph of the human spirit and determination to win...adding religious stuff just lessens and diminishes what that woman did by herself.

  • WOW! O_O

    "Energy overload incoming..... beast mode attained!"

  • Girl that fell that fell Tebowed the other girls.

  • Jon Jones has that tattooed to his chest, never knew what it meantt

  • this only proves that women are more superior... than other women.

  • its nothing to do with god its about that girls will!!

  • Mute 

  • Even in my wandering You are joy, You are joy You're the reason that I sing You are life, You are life, In You death has lost its sting Oh, I’m running to Your arms, I’m running to Your arms The riches of Your love Will always be enough Nothing compares to Your embrace Light of the world forever reign You are more, You are more Than my words will ever say You are Lord, You are Lord All creation will proclaim You are here, You are here In Your presence I'm made whole
  • You are good, You are good When there's nothing good in me You are love, You are love On display for all to see You are light, You are light When the darkness closes in You are hope, You are hope You have covered all my sin You are peace, You are peace When my fear is crippling You are true, You are true Even in my wandering
  • @gianolrac : Forever Reign by Hillsong live .......

  • Awesome ♥

  • what's the title of the song????

  • Her will power is inspirational, but WTF abt god in the end...God is an escape route for those who hav no self belief, she is the exact opposite, she kept her cool till the end, do we hav to attach all the good acts to god, I mean, who r we kidding, right?

  • what's the title of the song? very inspiring.. :)

  • it is not about how u started the race but how u finish it....

  • I say she should be tested for steroid use...

  • and tawag po ba dito ay adrenaline rush?

  • well christ or not that was some amazing spirit she displayed :) kudos heather!!

  • Wow... goose bumps..

  • Its always about rises, since falls definitely happen even if not planned! .... rises need grit and a permanent plan to rise irrespective of what happens.

  • Awesome .... GREAT !!!

  • I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

  • yeah sure she was thinking about the lord during the race

  • good video, bad propaganda in the end about christ .

  • 87 people can't do that.

  • very inspiring one...dont gv up go ooooonnnn!!!!

  • @deanNkamura yeah the other girls must of all been atheist because they lost to a girl who feel in the last lap. or was it just less trust? i wonder witch GOD it was that she was trusting.

  • Comment removed

  • @Jormar2009 yeah. Can your God do something about your stupid grammar?

  • @Jormar2009 Fuck off with your religion bullshit idiot. 

  • @Jormar2009 You have got to be the most retarded person I've seen post a comment on youtube.

  • it causing me a goosebumps.....

  • awesome!!!

  • after the fall, the speed is incredible its like she lifted by GOD....

  • 84 dilikes..! buT whY??! =O

  • she fell, but with dedication and trust in the Lord, she won despite her fall.

  • GOD WORDS, GOOD WORDS!!!

    

  • ive got goosebumps all over! WOW!

  • We fall down but we get up just keep moving.

  • super awesome!!! don't quit, continue to fight! <3

  • she just took a break.....

  • Who else yelled "RUN, FORREST, RUN!!!"?

  • she just rested for about a second there

  • Meh whats with all the godly comments in here? She fell, She arouse, she conquered. Credits to her. Not to anything else. Sigh some people...

  • She was obviously much better than the other 3 racers.

  • @XTrevvion i admire u for having extraordinary faith to be an athiest

  • praise the lord

  • EPIC

    

  • Why are you guys so upset just because God allowed that girl to win. If God is showing favouritism, that what kinda of a god is that. For one the uploader of this video may feel strongly about christianity and there's nothing wrong with that. I don't know if the winner of the race is a christian but that doesn't mean that the other runners aren't meant to win in life. Just because God allowed it to happen, doesnt mean God wants it to happen. We all have our own destiny. Religion? your choice.

  • @AceQuacksons Or... She got up and ran, using her natural, inborn abilities, pushing them to the limit, to win. God "allowing" someone to win. That's a joke.

  • @Zipstacracksta He is always helping the "underdog" to do their best & keep trying! many people would give up if they fell, you maybe...

  • @InnerMittenSignal what makes you think that the other runners haven't tried hard enough for the race? They may have been through a lot during training and god just steals away all their hard effort

  • @XTrevvion lol, so now God is a "thief" because the other runners are proved not to have been quite as encouraging to God's Spirit from their free-willed souls? He gives us stuff to work with, then delights to watch what we do with it! LOSING a race is an OPPORTUNIT to: 1) be a good sport & be happy/friends with the winner, 2) admit the truth that one still can do better...so as to: 3) be spurred on to try harder next time & just learn from the whole experience!...set-backs strengthen us ! (:D

  • @InnerMittenSignal lol, i meant OPPORTUNITY of course! (as in, making a typo was my opportunity to repeat that word & nail in my point! :)

  • @InnerMittenSignal To each his own. I believe in creation sure. Who's not to say God created the big bang, pretty much genesis anyway. And in the process 'created' evolution. Science and God are one in the same thing in my opinion. In any case. I don't believe God as a physical being from this dimension. And my life is just dandy :)

    No hell for me.x0x0x

  • @Zipstacracksta you made some interesting points. "to each his own" is deeper! i reckon what you have in common with others attracts you to them...past this life it's for eternity! so people who live only for themselves are disappointed with their Forever Companions! God is a Spirit & reaches into this dimension by His famous avatar, His Son, Jesus! He had to do without Him in Heaven for 33 years, then watch Him suffer & die 4 His Friends! He honoured His Bravery also, by raising Him from death!

  • @InnerMittenSignal I thought Jesus is God! isnt jesus, God and the ghost one entity? So God watched himself suffer and die?

  • @Zipstacracksta she ran using her God-created natural abilities, since He created physical nature, including our bodies. the bravery & 'heart' came from her Breathed-In-By-His-Spirit side of her her, encouraged by her lovely God-given Soul part of her! we are three part beings, made in His image. (: Now THAT should start up some more discussion! :)

  • This is nice though come on she just trained and her perseverance payed off

  • GOD GAVE FUCK OFF TO THE rest and helped the other cuz dats fair U KNOW?!

  • @Nabolzi He feels sorry for someone who falls & gives them extra inner resources that came from their pain! people could at least get that much from it!...

  • the last line is fuckn shit ,

    

  • @AnimalBRAH what you say of others is what you think of yourself.

  • @InnerMittenSignal what's this? a cliche line from the Bible? obviously if i call the japanese whalers cruel doesn't mean i'm cruel, or else i'd be supporting them right?

  • @XTrevvion killer whales swallow sea lions whole! is that cruel? & sea lions eat fish! what makes you say things with no sorting out or processing of your thoughts first? why is it okay for animals to eat one another, but the man/animal is not allowed to join in? or maybe there ARE moral principles...at the top of which is a Perfectly Good God who knows EVERYTHING!...including who got the most bravery in their heart from falling down! a Being like a Dad hears the call of our faith & desperation!

  • @AnimalBRAH so i guess that's all you think of yourself, not to discipline your mouth. some race YOU would run!

  • GOD, Y U NO HELP THE OTEHRS???

  • @XTrevvion she fell down & kept trying. that's heroic.  God honours a Brave Spirit.

  • @InnerMittenSignal sorry, i just felt that i had to counter your arguments, cheers :)

  • @XTrevvion i debated with you some more, before i read this apology of yours! but i don't think you're cruel at all. you're loaded with compassion, you just have a really Big Giant Head that gets in the way of it sometimes! God created our brains though so He is bigger, which is why we need to stay out of His way when it comes to wrangling Justice! He knows every single little thing & creates exponentially from the INSIDE growing out! we apply our creativity ON things & know very little at all!

  • well actually i'm atheist. I can't go much beyond discussing the very existence of God himself and if it is your belief that God is a part of this race, then sorry i don't really have anything much to say about it...and thanks for the compliment :)

  • @XTrevvion the others didn't fall down! why don't YOU try a race like that!

  • hoooooo god i have to learrnn more from this vedioo ......it touches my heart....godddd.......i am impressed.....great...

  • one of the best video i ve ever watch , praise Jesus

    everyone can do all things through Christ , who strengthens us

  • god lifted her n let her win the race n put the other 3 down...lol how fair n just lolol

  • @FlyinVJs30RR what do you mean? are you being sarcastic or serious? lol! (:D

  • The Song is Forever Reign - Hillsong from the album A Beautiful Exchange

  • @jmaxtrekker THANKS! HAHAS!

  • WOAH HEYY! WHATS THE NAME OF THIS SONG! it is DAMN NICE! ;)

  • Why wasn't Jesus helping the others? ;)

  • @minnesotakabaap the others didn't fall down, feel desperate & embarrassed, & cry out to Him for extra strength to make up for it! if the others HAD fallen down, (as long as no one was really hurt, which i hope she wasn't!) maybe it would have been put in the Comedy Section! maybe they would have started leaning all over each other, & begun helping the most crippled-up one! after all it was just a race, the point of which was to show human endurance & effort-making qualities! (& she HAD THEM! :)

  • I cry for joy for you Heather!!!!!God's grace is sooo amazing keep it up girl!!!!!!!

  • courage at its very best.. btw Nothing to with the Christ...

    

  • Huh... so God's will is to punish the other 3 who made no mistake in their running... I don't get his logic

  • @Dreamwalker19920101 she must have worked harder than the others.God always honours hardwork .

  • @atom300491 Hmm~ so you're saying the other 3 didn't work as hard. That makes perfect sense.

  • @Dreamwalker19920101 or may be its god's will :)

  • @atom300491 I feel sorry for the other 3... favoritism sucks

  • @Dreamwalker19920101 please don't be everyone has their own day .one has to just the will of God.above all participation is more than winning :)

  • that fall must have hurt, they were running like 80

    inches per second

  • You go Heather!

    

  • Someone send this to the Occupy idiots. This is what you call hardwork. Not having a sense of entitlement and expecting jobs to be given to you.

  • I used to run competitively but I took an arrow to the knee.

  • @dustball3010 You must have been a pretty slow runner then.

  • It's all about fitness, she had clearly trained very hard and had the fitness to win despite the fall.

  • ADRENALINE kicks in. that's the beauty of our body. haha

  • may i have the song of this video ? thanks

  • @bstanart

    he gave control of earth to human? Which part u can control? How it is spinning? Or how many earth quakes? In these 5 billion years Humans lived in earth for not even one percent. Worms have lived longer than humans.

  • @Bhodhidharman yeah but within the last hundred years it got so much worse. Obviously we have a huge impact on Earth. If God was so nice/powerful, maybe he should do something about that goddamn global warming issue?

  • @bstanart

    do u respect your grand father? Who died doing good things to your family? Grand father did more than jesus did. He himself is a jew. He followed judaism. Why did u create a new religion out of him.

  • @Bhodhidharman OMG so true. Anyways we should all probably worship Heather since she performed a miracle.

  • Love the song choice! Love the scriptures! He made us and everything in the world, so God gets all the glory!

  • Self-belief!

  • Comment removed

  • fightin spirit.....

  • Stupid who put those lines at the last. Is this what your christ doing? Taking credit for others victory. Dont preach here. Already many morons are there in real world.

  • @Bhodhidharman He's not taking credit for others victory, we are taking credit for his victory. We have victory because of what he did on the cross.

  • @bstanart Well said

  • @bstanart Whoa there~ then he probably needs to take the blame for all our sufferings too? Why did the other 3 receive defeat even after what he did on the cross? In my opinion the race should have ended with a tie, that way everyone's the winner.

  • still crying !...

  • poor song choice

  • no words.... am done...

  • fuck god, imaginary creation of humans. we're our own gods.

  • Whoever put those last lines in isn't doing Christianity a favor.

  • 0:19, is the quality of the video too blur, or is she having a fault start?

  • fuckin cunt.take that last line off, ur embarassing christianity by taking credit for human perseverance .CALL HIM GOD.! a hindu or a muslim or a jew can also do the same.

  • @revvhard1 the Spirit of God Is Love, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, & blows through every Brave Person, (but not blaphemers & swearers such as yourself in the comment you made!)

  • @InnerMittenSignal what? you just said that god is unjust by not loving blasphemers, how could you! BLASPHEME!!!

  • if everyone is Christian, who will be the winner at the end of the race? all of the athletes, who believed in Christ, have to fall in order to win? or the winner with strong will and strength?

  • the last line killed everything

  • @qihuife ...and when they killed Him they killed everything good & perfect! but then His Father Honoured Him!

  • @InnerMittenSignal what are you talking about? the creator can be dead but his creation can still stay good and perfect

  • fu.ck all this christianity things

  • salutes from an INDIAN....

  • @febinroyalmech lol why the emphasis?

  • @XTrevvion ;)

  • 1. if this was 2008 why the picture quality is so bad

    2. why is the reference to christianity anyhow being mixed up with the morale of what ever of the vid? (i think thats lame)

    3. putting huge letters ontop of video blocking the pictures is somewhat disturbing (& annoying)

    4. if she can cover the lagging due to her falling in the final lap why wont she use all that energy to set a record the next time or something... does it mean u have to allways have a breakdown to do something better ?

  • @toxinatorr

    1.why talk about video quality, just see d video and understand d message

    2. the essence is important, so you are right, just dont bother about the religious link

    3. agreed

    4. one can draw many conclusions from an event. The one you NEED to draw here is that one can succeed even after a fall.

  • may i know what is the title of this song?

  • @saipakpak I think it's forever reign by Hillsong (:

  • please dont associate this with religious believes. It's just saying that all non-christians aint as strong. this should be inspired by the will of mankind.

  • nice

  • @BumbleBeat21 A spirit and perseverance that, given the situation (her fall), surpassed what is achievable by human strength alone but instead given to her through her belief in Christ. Whats the harm in acknowledging that? You wouldn't see Christ if he was driving a bradley tank and ran you over leaving a track mark on the back of your skull.

    Geez so many people against religion in here it isn't even funny.

  • @BumbleBeat21 obviously you dont know god very well or not at all, go to church and find him, then watch the video again

  • @kd5lpr To each his own, alright. I don't force you to atheism just because I like it.
