Brady has come alive this year. Her quick smile and amazing hugs were a huge blessing to me all year long and they are still coming!
I remember Brady’s brokenness from training camp and was amazed at her love for the Lord even then. 
She has a way of coming with all or nothing, and most of the time it is all. She truly seeks after the heart of God in everything she does and it is so much fun to watch. From the beginning Brady’s desire to worship God trumped everything else; evidenced by her dedication in toting around our ONLY guitar all year. I have sweet memories of her playing on the train to China, in the barn at Alabanza, in the Swazi bush, and just about everywhere else we have traveled.
She chases the heart of God with everything she has and has fought through so many barriers the enemy put before her this year. She has battled fear of man and WON—in the name of Jesus—and I can say it is my joy to worship with her.
My fondest memory with Brady is in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. We had breakfast together one morning and talked about things we were scared of, things we were working on, and things the Lord was healing in us. It was a sweet time of sharing and that sweetness continues. Brady vowed long ago to give me a hug every time she saw me, and she still does without fail. I can always count on an encouraging word and simple truth and honesty.
Braids, I love you girl and love watching God in you. Thank you for being so transparent and a light in the darkness. Keep walking in His ways and you will never wander alone.
Psalm 149:6 “May the praise of God be in their mouths and a double-edged sword in their hands…”
