Happy Seven:Eleven Day!
(July 11 = 7/11)
I love my team. I loved spending the last eleven months with
them. Of course it wasn’t always easy, but they are my brothers and sisters, my
friends, and my teammates and I will miss them more than I could ever explain.
Words can’t do justice what you guys mean to me—but I’m going to try anyways. I
love you all SO much. Happy “us” day!
what it means to have a servant’s heart. I’ve watched her selflessly serve our
team, our squad, and the people we minister to in each country. It has been a
blessing to live and work alongside her, seeing her heart for the people and
her desire to serve God with all that she has. Thank you Cameron for all your
patience and service to our team.
encouragement this year as she lives out her leadership qualities by being a
living example to all of us. It has been a pleasure and a blessing to see her
growing in her faith, stepping boldly into all that God has in store for her.
Watching Haley this year, I have learned what it means to step out in faith,
and to risk things for the Lord. Thank you Haley for being an example and
encouragement for all of us.
this year has shown me what it looks like to desire the Lord above all else. He
has exemplified a sold out life for Christ, all else paling in comparison.
Thank you Brandon for your pastoral
heart and care for our team. Thank you for always protecting us and having our
best interest at heart. Thank you for being the big brother I never had.
Sarah has grown
tremendously over the past year. Whether with us on the race, or at home with
her family, Sarah has shown me what it means to seek the Lord in all things. Her passion in life is to
walk closely with the Lord, being obedient in all that he asks. She always sees
the good in any given situation, and chooses to bless the Lord, always. Thank
you Sarah for your constant joy in the Lord and for sharing that joy with us.
When I think of Mark,
I am always reminded of the many verses in the bible that refer to brotherly love. It has been a blessing
to watch Mark this year, constantly pouring out his generosity and love. Mark
isn’t a friend who stands on the sidelines and watches from a distance, but
rather a brother who chooses to experience with
you, sharing in your joy, pain, fear, or excitement. Thank you Mark for
your heartfelt thoughtfulness and for always being there.
It has been a
blessing this year to watch Pam count it
all joy. No matter where we are or what we are doing, Pam can always put
the situation into perspective, knowing that her constant joy and hope is in the Lord. It has been an encouragement
to me this year to watch Pam seek the Lord in every place we have been. Thank
you Pam for illustrating a true seeker and follower of Christ. Thank you for your
unwavering prayers for our team and your desire to see us all succeed.
Team Seven:Eleven… I love you!
