Here is a poem that my beautiful teammate Blair wrote. 
I think it describes what God has been doing in my life and the lives
of our squad perfectly.

 
“Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve… But as for me and my household, We will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15


This verse I make my daily cry


All other lords I choose to deny


For my maker and creator deserves all of me


I’ve grieved, been broken, and my cup is empty


Empty of the lies that have filled it for years


The process was difficult it took some real tears


The tears alone were hard enough


Because as they would rise, back down I would stuff


For tears equal weakness, at least that’s what I thought


But “Blessed are those who mourn” is the truth Jesus taught


For comfort is what they will receive 


So to this truth I chose to believe


And slowly but surely the tears began to flow


As I felt Jesus pat my back and say ‘There you go..’


“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest”


To experience this kind of love is the best


So I took off my fig leaf and emptied my cup


And I said dear Jesus my life is yours to interrupt


Continue to break me and strip me down


Continue to turn my world all around


For I am sure you have called me, So Here am I


For you alone I will dance, I will sing, I will cry


And thank you dear teammates for joining alongside


From you I no longer want to hide


Not all of me is pretty and I’m going to mess up


But Jesus now has room inside my cup


So what overflows will be from Him


I pray he continues pouring pass the brim


Each day a challenge and decision I must make

But with each of you by my side, It’s a risk I’m dying to take!!!
