Change… to make or become different and to take or use another instead of. I team changes were a thing before coming on the Worldrace. Finding out who would be on my first team was nerve-wracking. Our leadership gave me the best team I could ask for! When people would mention team changes I would immediately rebuke the idea because I love my team. This past month in Bolivia God revealed to me I had a hardened heart. I was/am DREADING team changes. One morning during my quiet time He put on my heart to write one thing I am thankful for from everybody on N Squad.
I am writing a thankfulness thread about the past 4 months with Peace of Freedom (POF), Sol Sisters, Slam Dunk Aloha, & Gringa Rangers. There is something so uniquely special about this group of girls. I have learned so much about the characteristics of Christ and the way He loves me through POF. They have pushed me in the purest and most encouraging ways to be brave, courageous, undaunted, and fearless. Every month they pushed me to to be bold and wise in my pursuit with God. Our community became a safe haven and a sweet home away from home.
Allie burns with joyfulness as she shares the gospel to everyone she meets. I have loved being challenged by her deep questions and her ability to intentionally listen. I am so thankful she pushed me to lean in deeper to my relationship with the Father.
Hannah Beth taught me what it looks like to seek our desires in God. She has radiated the peace of letting God’s words become the truth of her story. I couldn’t be more grateful that God created her with a longing heart to be a deep thinker and intentional listener.
Hannah Grace is full of the Holy Spirit! It amazes me how she welcomes in and enters into the presence of the Holy Spirit. Since Colombia, she has shined as a warrior, courageous, and a fighter. I have loved watching her push past the language barrier and exude love with a universal smile.
Jada has allowed God to move through her in so many ways. She has allowed God to use the dust in her life and form her into the clay. Through this process, the Father is molding her into whatever He dreams up. This girl is literally a walking Bible. These past 4 months God has given her an abundant amount of obedience in leadership and a desire to start a spark or continue the flame of spreading God’s truth.
Mallory is filled with wisdom from the Lord. Whenever she speaks I cling to her words because they are so good. Regardless of the situation, she is continually looking for the Holy Spirit in every moment. I am incredibly proud of the way God has built her up to be a Child of God and her desire to walk out her callings.
As the Body of Christ, we all have important roles. On the Worldrace we are constantly walking through different seasons. Our time as Peace of Freedom has come to a close. But I walk in confidence that our leadership was obedient in putting together our new teams. (Stay tuned to find out my new team). Peace of Freedom played a role in helping me recognize my childlike faith and boldness. The memories we carry from Training Camp to Bolivia will be with me forever. I love you all so much and words can’t express how much I am going to miss you!
