Before the race, I lived with my mom, dad, and brother. The first month of being on the race I lived with almost forty girls. Three rooms, one roof, one kitchen, and four bathrooms. This month and the next I live with fifteen girls, seven of them on my team.
It’s not easy. But we’re learning.
To communicate
To choose unity
To sacrifice
To give grace
To call each other higher
To be sensitive and aware of each others needs
To use each of the gifts God has given us
To keep the bond of peace
Recently my team mate Eliza asked everyone in our team to answer several questions. One of the questions was what is something I want to see on this race? I chose a sisterhood. That we would constantly challenge and learn from each other. That we would run to each other in the best of times and in the worst of times. And that we would become a family that stays together even beyond this race.
In the four-ish months I have known my team, we have learned so much about each other. I can only be excited for the relationship we’re going to have by the end of this race.
