I would like to introduce you to the wonderful ladies I will be spending the next year with!!
Meet UNTAMED PASSION!
(Team Leader-Mary, Me, Brittany, Alexis, Lauren, Daphnee)
These ladies are absolutely incredible. Let me tell you why.
I made a horrible first impression. The whole team building process at Training Camp was so draining and stressful. This group was the last group I was placed with, and by that time I was done with the whole thing. I was tired and I really just wanted to be alone. We were asked to do an activity that involved a lot of discussion. I knew some things about it, but I really didn't speak up.
By the end of the activity, with tears running down my face, I pretty much told them I didn't want to be on their team. I said I didn't think I could have fun with them, and it would be a lot of work to feel comfortable with this team. I don't know why I said those things. I didn't really think that. And as soon as I said them I regretted it.
I was expecting these girls to hate me. But they didn't. Instead I was met with love by the same people I just rejected. And I knew it was genuine love. God's love.
When I found out we were a team I was relieved. These girls had all ready seen my bad side. They saw me raw and real, and they still accepted me. They are incredible and I couldn't imagine being on a better team. They have already taught me so much. I can't wait to see how the Lord uses us to make His name great!
Why the name Untamed Passion?
We decided we wanted our name to speak change and growth over our team. How do we want God to change us?
We all have the same personality, sweet and gentle. We can be quiet and reserved, and don't like to step on people's toes. But we all want to be BOLD and LOUD. We want a passion that isn't afraid of what people think. And we don't want to be tamed by the world or our insecurities. And so the name UNTAMED PASSION was born.
Lord, thank you so much for these wonderful ladies! I ask that you start to develop a passion in us that can't be quenched! We don't want to be tamed. Give us your heart and you eyes. Give us a new boldness and renew our love for you daily.
Help me to continue to grow with these wonderful girls! God has big plans for us and I know He wants to use us to grow His Kingdom. I still need $1600 to be able to leave in July. Will you help me go?
