The Lighters of the Lamps.

Ahem.

I would like to introduce you to my family.

I can promise you that the words I use to describe them do not do them justice at all. 

Are you ready?

Nathan is our fearless leader. He’s from somewhere in Georgia. He is known as “the mountain man” and he is infinitely proud of his beard, which he promises not to shave the entire 11 months. He can bust some wicked dance moves, and he listens to the most random selection of music ever. He is really into history, and says really awesome things like “Hallelusha”. As soon as we left camp to go make our first memory as a team, we got to see a brand new side of him. I can honestly say I wouldn’t want any other person to lead our amazing team. I respect him so much and I feel honored to be able to follow him into the fire. I love this dude so much already. 

Jenna is from Florida, but lives in LA now. She is an Assistant Director and has worked on cool shows like Criminal Minds and a bunch of others (isn’t that awesome?!). She is quieter than some others on our team (…ahem… me), but when she does say something, it is either hilarious, or full of wisdom. She is a motivator and will definitely be a driving force on our team to get things done. Especially with all the goof balls on our team (sorry Jenna, you’re stuck with us =D). She is the kind of person that will call you out on things and that is one of the things I admire most about her. 

Okay, seriously. Do I even need to point out the fact that her last name is my first name? We were meant to be! And I love the fact that every time I say her first name I think of Harry Potter. She just has awesome written all over her! This girl is so full of wisdom. I feel like I can learn so much from everything she says. When she prays, there is so much power in each of her words. She is a little on the quieter side (once again, I’m sorry I’m so obnoxious), but I feel like she just balances our team out perfectly.

One word. Irish. 

This dude cracks.me.up. He is a professional chef and he got to show off his skillz when he punched out a gourmet meal with nothing more than chicken and some random spices and vegetables. He is super sarcastic, and he is the kind of person who will take the joke to the gutter, if you know what I mean. If you ever have the chance to talk to him, make sure you refer to him as British or Scottish. Then, be prepared to have your head ripped off lol. He is amazing man of God who is willing to stand up and protect us women. I honestly am so stoked to be able to spend the next 11 months with this guy.

Oh yeah, she’s as BA as she looks. Girl after my own heart! I love this girl so so so much. We are so similar, but so different that we compliment each other extremely well. She is the poster child for joy, and I love her honesty and vulnerability. She can bust a move like no other, and almost every song she hears is “her jam”. She has this amazing innocence about her spirit, almost as if she can’t be touched (Can’t touch this na na na na). I can’t even express the love that I feel for this lady. She means so much to me already. I feel so very blessed to have her on my team. 

Nick-o-las! This dude is awesome. He is from California and knows all the hot jams from the West Coast. He has this unshakeable calm about him that makes me feel like everything is going to be okay. It’s like nothing phases him. He truly cares about everyone he comes in contact with and will make sure that you are okay before worrying about himself. He was chosen to be one of the two logistics people for our squad so he won’t be with us all the time, but I am super super stoked to have this guy on my team. 

Psalm 119:105

You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.

Matthew 5:14-15
