0 to 6 sisters like THAT [with pics]

This is my awesome D Squad family! [our lovely homeschool family picture]. The D squad [2nd Gen] is gonna do big things in this world. We have already begun before we have even left the states. I could not be more privileged to spend the next 11 months with this awesome group of people. We are silly. We are crazy. We love hugs. We can laugh at ourselves. We are pretty darn good looking. We have an amazing anointing over our squad. We are called. We are blessed. God speaks through D squad. Always. We are willing. 

Now let me introduce you to my three amazing and awesome squad leaders!!! 

Caitlin, Mac, and Hope

I could not have been blessed with more awesome squad leaders. I actually followed their world race journeys before I applied. These three are a wonderful addition to D squad. God knew that we needed leaders who would be just as silly and crazy as we are, but who are also wonderful and amazing truth tellers, life speakers, and great encouragers. These three are the definition of Godly leadership and I absolutely cannot wait to get to know them better while they are with us for the first four months of our journey!!

For the moment you have all been waiting for!!! MY TEAM!!!!!

At training camp we were put into teams and I could not be more excited about my team. I am on a team with six other wonderful women. I went from zero to six sisters overnight! They will challenge me, stretch me, break with me, love me, cry with me, kick my butt when i need it, and I will drive them crazy. But we are the seven girls of Night Vision!! 

Casey is our fearless leader. She is a woman of greatness. She is not afraid to call you out when what you are believing about yourself is incorrect. She speaks life and her words have power. This woman carries the Holy Spirit and there is no questioning that this girl is absolutely rooted in her faith. She is gorgeous and is humble. She is crazy and awesome. She is not afraid to do whatever it takes to make sure people know that her life is all about bringing glory to Jesus. 

Emily is a girl whose tender heart and compassion just shines through like the sun through the clouds. She can be quiet, but when she is passionate about something there is no hiding it. I am so blessed to be on a team with this wonderful woman of God. She is not afraid to step up when something needs to get done. She is solid and will be a rock for our team. 

Amy is our southern belle! Amy is a go-getter and is not gonna let anything stand in the way of serving her Jesus. She is creative and is about to graduate in just a few days!! YAYYY AMY!!! When she gets excited joy explodes from her. She is willing to try things, but if that doesn’t work, she won’t waste time in trying to do it the same way. She will find a new way to accomplish the task at hand. Amy’s southern accent rubs off on me, so if I come back with a southern accent… yall know who assisted with that.

Rose! What can I say about this lovely woman. She has a fire in her spirit that no one is going to put out. Rose is silly and fun. She has a knack for taking things that have the potential to be completely unrelated and relating them through illustrations, or stories, or movies, or however it needs to get across. This woman walks with power in her steps carrying freedom and grace with her everywhere she goes. I cannot wait to see what God does in her life on the Race.

Alys! This sister is so beautiful inside and out. She can be quiet a lot of the time, but when she has something to say the authority her voice carries in it demands that you pay attention. You want to hear what she has to say. She has a patient and gentle spirit. Alys is a truth speaker. One of my favorite things is that you can be walking or sitting with her, and you don’t even have to say anything. It isn’t awkward because she just has such a peace about her. God has big things in store for her!

Stacy! My Stacy girl is a natural leader. She is going to keep things on track when the ones with the wandering minds [me] start to stray from what I need to be doing. Stacy is full of hope and is willing. She has confidence that is unmatched by many people I know. God is going to blow this woman’s mind away with what He shows her this year. She is great to be around and will push my team to become the best version of ourselves we can be. She is going to push us to give it our all every single day and leave everything we have out on the field. 

Those are my sisters and together we make up team Night Vision!! Love these girls to pieces!! 

Thanks for reading about my new family!!

Much love,

A
