Family Force 6
original Powerful Whisper team. With new
leadership stepping up within our squad it was necessary to make some team
adjustments. While I am super sad to say
goodbye to some of the special people I spent the first three months of this
incredible journey with, I am also confident God knows what is best for each of
us and that He is working for the good of us all. So moving into month #4, I am now part of
Family Force 6 which includes Steven Reed, Emily Bouche, Ashley Caple, Jamie
Ham and my former teammate Nick Rice. To
give a little explanation to our new family photos below, check out Jamie’s
most recent blog. She did an awesome job
recapping our fun “family” introduction to the rest of the squad: http://jamieham.theworldrace.org/?filename=family-force-6
Here we Come!!
Previously a mystery to our squad, month #4 and month #5
locations have been confirmed. We will
be heading to Albania first, followed by Romania. In Albania, “Family Force 6” will be working
with Campus Crusade for Christ in the city of
Korce. That’s all I know for now
but I look forward to sharing more details soon.
Apparently this is me (on my old team and now on my new team
too) but I can actually say I welcome tears, which are usually not of sadness
but of utter joy and awe of my incredibly blessed life. In fact, I embrace my emotional side thanks to
a recent tearful conversation with Chuck Ramsey, the 81 year-old founder of my most
recent Bolivian ministry site. Chuck told
me story of how God offered to give him anything he wanted. After much thought and prayer, Chuck asked God
for a sensitive heart. From that day
forward, Chuck cannot give a sermon or talk about God’s provision without
tearing up. My sensitive heart is also
an answer to prayer. My whole life I’ve
constantly fought against a judgmental and critical nature, and long desired to
see others as God sees them; created in His image. I’ve wanted my heart to break for what breaks
His; to look beyond my self and my circumstances and feel burdened by the
injustices of this world. So yes, I am
“The Emotional One” but I thank God for my emotion, and for my knowledge and
perspective of how amazing God is, how much He loves me and this world, and how
I am blessed to be used by Him to be a blessing to others. Makes me tear up just writing this🙂.
That’s it for
now. Stay tuned for more breaking news
later!
