Hello everyone! Long time no hear right?! So, as many of you know, this past month I have been in Bucharest, Romania with all of I-Squad. We have living at and doing ministry with Casa Shalom. Much has happened this month and God has been teaching every person something. It has been really challenging and encouraging to be around the whole squad. Probably the biggest change of all is that I am no longer a part of team Azariah. At the beginning of the month the squad leaders felt that it would be benefical for our squad to do some team changes and among those changes was that Azariah was dissolved Honestly, I can’t remember the last time I cried so much and felt so sad. I spent the first 24 hours after the decision was made to break us apart crying, confused, angry, broken, and sad. But, God used that time to really teach me about TRUST. I couldn’t wrap my mind around why put a team together just for 3 months? Why did God even bother with Azariah to begin with? Why bring these connections and relationships into my life just to break it apart? These thoughts just kept running through my head, over and over and over. And after each of those thoughts God would say “Trust Me.” And finally after 2 days I began to listen to Him. It’s crazy how hard it is to TRUST Him sometimes. We think we have it all figured out and that our plans are just so perfect. I love when I finally do put my trust in Him and I realize how stupid my own plans were! And God definitely has revealed to me these past couple of weeks just how amazing my new team is going to be and how much more growth He has in store for me. I know that I have reached the point I am at because of Azariah. But, I also know now that in order to continue moving forward where God wants me to go that this new team is where I need to be. So, with that being said- Meet my new team!!!!
