I am currently at leadership training and I get to meet the squad in two days! It’s all starting to hit me. I’m not going to be going back to work next week, I am not going to see my family for a few months, and I am embarking on a journey that I am going to grow a lot. It has been exhausting in all good ways. It’s pushing me outside of my comfort zone, I am confronting things I have needed to for a while, and learning to give myself grace through that. The days have been filled with discussion sessions with leadership on really big topics and they always just blow me away every time. It’s also been cool to be with community again that is so strong in the Spirit. I have been filled by the other leaders I have been in training with and learning from them a lot. I think this is going to be a really great time!
I think my phrase for this season is blossoming into freedom. I want so desperately to help create an environment where not only I feel free to be my true self, but also for this squad to be free to be who God has made them to be. I think I’ve stayed in a bubble for far too long and I know it’ll take work to break through but I am so excited for when that moment happens. And I feel like God is excited for me to break through that too.
This may be my only blog until I am in Ecuador so I will update you guys when we get there and get a bit settled! Love you all!
