MEET TEAM TZADIK 58….
Tzadik is the literal acting out of Isaiah 58, which is where the number 58 comes in.
Tyler, Beka, Michael, Me (Alison), Emilee, Christina, Derek
I had 2 prayer request for God when it came to my team:
1.) Someone that wants to work out every day & can motivate me to exercise.
Answer to prayer: EVERY single one of them! (see specifics below)
2.) Someone who loves to do accousitic worship (my favorite thing in the
world is random accoustic worship)
Answer to prayer: Michael & Derek (played every night at training camp)
He is way too good to me… He always provides in abundance!
