to say i am not a fan of change would be an incredible understatement. i can do little change, and believe me, you cannot come on the world race without learning how to be really flexible really fast. so i’m okay with changing from pizza to burgers for dinner. and i change clothes like it’s going out of style. however, when it comes to changes in my relationship. heck no, techno.
i like comfortable. i enjoy the ordinary. i prefer easy.
but that is not what i signed up for.
i signed up to be broken and put back together. i signed up to be stretched and grown for the glory of the lord. i signed up to learn how to be loved by god, and out of that, learn how to love the world more. god has me in this place because i need to die to myself. i need to trust him more. i need to learn to stop questioning and trust wholeheartedly and unreservedly that he is good. all of the time.
all of that to say. things have changed. in typical world race fashion, the lord has stirred things up. and while part of me is still grieving the loss of goodness. gracious. i am so excited about team oasis. i have no idea what the lord is going to do among this new community, i’m not sure how he is going to use me and use the new people on my team. but i am confident that it will be good and that it will be for his glory. please continue to pray for each of us as we are still in a time of transition. pray that the lord would accelerate our love for each other and this new community and that he would unify us together in love to reach the nations in whatever way he has planned.
so, without further ado, i would like to introduce you to my new teammates:
Paul Iwanga [Team Leader]
i would encourage you to check out their blogs and keep up to date with how and what we are doing as a team. thank you so much for all of your prayers and encouragement. the comments and emails mean so much to me [hint hint: keep ’em coming!!!] if you or someone you know would like to support me financially you can do so by clicking here. i am still in need of about $3,000 so anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated.
love from turkey.
