I just murdered, yes fiercely crushed, a spider the size of
a small dog for the well being of my teammate. We’re really learning to
function as a community around here. This week has felt like several months of
intense and challenging words and tasks, all crammed into a few days. Sheesh,
we’re only halfway through. After 24 hours of my typical initial reactions to
new things (absolute anxiety and panic because I think I’m probably making the
largest mistake of my life), I’ve felt so peaceful and joyful about being here.
I mean, yeah I’d looooove a McDonald’s cheeseburger and no, I don’t
particularly enjoy bacon and anchovy soup for breakfast, but WHOA God is good.
He is patient with my doubts and introverted personality. He is teaching me
patience with myself rather than despising that I’m at a different place in my
own journey than others. Already there are incredible people that are
encouraging me and helping me grow. The eagerness is almost tangible within our
squad. We are so ready to see what the Lord is going to do in us and through us
during the next year and the rest of our lives. Please pray that the rest of
the week continues to build unity and honor for one another in our crazy community.
Also, clear your schedules for the next 2 weeks, people. I want to spend time
with you before I leave… departure is June 16th!!
