How does a girl with congenital defects in her legs born to a teenage mother in Siberia become one of the most decorated female athletes in US history? And what does that same young woman, achieving unprecedented success in Paralympics swimming, do when she realizes that despite the outward honors and endorsements deals, she’s still filled with anger and brokenness on the inside?
Such is Jessica Long’s story. Told with her trademark passion and energy, her journey shows a love that conquers anger and brings her a bigger triumph than any of her gold medals.

There's nothing about her I would change. Her history built her tough. Her heart softens her soul. 😇
SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL INSIDE OUT!
I’m so touched by the honesty and humility of this young woman. She was angry about her adoption and her leg surgeries. Meeting her birth parents and forgiving them for giving her up for adoption was her turning point. After that meeting and change of heart, she let go and let God. Thank you for sharing your story. I needed your message today.
Wow, She is open and humble. So genuine about her struggles. What a strong woman. The ability to be real.
Making old men cry is not nice. Thank you so much for your testimony. It will help me become second. I tried being first and doing it all by myself for way too long. 52 years to be exact.
Wow. THIS STORY. THIS ONE RIGHT HERE. I CAN'T EVEN SWIM. THIS ONE GOT TO ME.
What an incredible woman. So much strength but so much hurt. This is real humility.
At 50 I'm just discovering this beautiful and inspiring young woman. I saw her on a commercial while watching the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. I became intrigued by her and her story. And what an amazing story! Thank you so much for sharing your story young lady. ❤
God bless this young woman!!
“Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.” (Deut. 4:2.)
He did.
Such a beautiful testimony of your faith journey!
I was also adopted. Found my birth mother. It was very tough to forgive her but, I knew that God separated me from her! Very long story! God bless you!❤️
My Dearest.
I am adopted from Irkutsk Russia myself. I feel and see you my sister. Anger is unbelievable to the natural born have NO idea what it’s like to be an orphan and not know your family. My name is Natalia
God is in the business of pouring His grace into and through broken vessels like you and like me. Jessica, may God continue to bless you and many, many more through you!

Bad point!!!
True femininity and true empowerment come from God.
Take notes, indeed!

Today I confronted myself with really tough questions about my life in general, and then I came across this. The testimony encouraged me to take those questions to God - Thank you.
Sometimes success takes people away from God, and failure brings people back to God. Jessica is a good example of acknowledging God for her success! Just ❤️this girl😊

beautiful message..God wants our heart He doesn't want perfection..does anybody know the song playing at 4:10-4:20?
The song is called "Blue" by Faith Richards.
@@jch12341 thank you so much!
You're a beautiful soul, with a big heart for Christ. Without our faith, we have nothing. I know the freedom of a tough forgiveness process. My story is different, but forgiveness is crucial to healing. God embraces us, as we cry and forgive.
Be well and faithful, my dear, because God loves us and knows exactly what we need.
Wow!
God Is awesome!
Yes HE is!
It must have hurt losing her legs!!!
POV: you came from tiktok video
Man, she's beautiful.
I wanna know who are the 2 knuckleheads that disliked this video?
I think you are amazing
Who the hell would ever give this story a thumbs down is an asshole. Who would do such a thing? But as an atheist..you are giving a non-existent god the credit when it was YOU who had done it. You are the God. YOU did all of those amazing things on your own by simply pushing forward in your life. No one needs credit but YOU. I wish people could see this. Pat yourself on the back, mama.
А у девушки русский характер!
Wtf is this? Why is this in my feed?
🤷♀️
Who wouldn't want to hear this? Talk about finding purpose, mission and creating humility in triumph! Have an awesome day! :)
