Tribe- a distinctive close-knit group.
Let me introduce you to Team Tribe. My new team of beautiful, individual, and unique daughters of the King. They all carry a piece of the Lords heart and character and I have the honor and privilege of doing life with them for the next three months.
I met these wonderful girls this past week at Training Camp. If you want to know more about what Training Camp is then stay tuned for my next blog, but for now I give you my girls.
(from left to right)
Ellie Martinez- Not a woman of many words, but when she speaks her words are impactful and make a difference. She has a shyness to her but it makes me love her even more. She’s got a killer tattoo on her arm and she is secretly a warrior for the Lord whether she knows it or not yet. She wrestled all week with hearing from the Lord, but when we did an activation for hearing from Him she killed the game. She stepped out even though she doubted and spoke out what she thought she was hearing. The fruit of it probably will not leave her because she was speaking exactly what the other girls needed to hear. It was sweet to see her face just light up seeing that she was actually hearing from the Lord and that he has been speaking to her all along. And when we did the hike, man she absolutely thrived. I have never seen her feel so light and airy before. Ellie is not the same Ellie she was at the beginning of training camp. She grew in confidence and in knowledge of the Lords heart for her. Stoked to do life with her. Love you Ellie girl.
Milena Wahl- A woman who steps out even when it is scary. She is so hungry for the Lord and the healing he has in store for her.She has a fierceness about her that drives her to know more of who God is and who he calls her to be. She isn’t afraid of her past and is willing to go through hard things to find the freedom the Lord has for her. She is one funny gal who can talk about the grandness and bigness of who God is forever. I remember one time we were at morning devos and she was so in awe of how weird God was for sending a fish to swallow up Jonah. It is amazing to see her determination and thirst for more of what life has. For more of what Jesus has for her. Plus, she can totally be a cross fit instructor one day because she was a KILLER encourager for the girls on our hike. She stayed with them and it was amazing to see her push them. She pushed them because she believed in them which in turn made them believe in themselves as well. Thanks Milena for having a willing spirit and for making me laugh. Love you.
Catherine Pages- Her smile brightens up the room every time. It is beautiful and I see Jesus in her smile every time she shows it. A little reserved at the beginning, but thankfully she did not stay that way for long. Super self aware and super ready for all the Lord has in store for her these next nine months. She stands in awe of who her creator is and is ready to dive deeper into her relationship with him. Her words carry life and I see joy deeply rooted into her soul that is bursting to come out into full. Cat, let him draw that out of you. You are a child of joy and will lead others into the same joy as well. You carry life and have the ability to touch others with your words. Keep chasing after the Lover of your soul. You won’t regret it. Love you Cat.
Savanna Thomas- Immediately when I walked into her presence I could feel her spirit. It is the strangest and coolest thing ever to feel someones presence, and hers is EVIDENT. She carries a gentleness and tenderness about her, but has a quiet inner strength she may not fully know she has. She is wallflower in every way and is absolutely stunning. Her inner beauty radiates out and makes her even more beautiful on the outside. There’s a lightness and airiness about her. Her presence is like a refreshing, cool splash of water on a hot summer day. Sav, don’t be afraid of all that the Lord has in store for you these next nine months. He is going to heal and restore you, but you have to let him. You have already gotten a taste of it. Never go back. Love you sweet Sav.
Brittany Standbridge- Britt, Britt, Britt. This girl. Man is she one firecracker and a little explosion of fun. She brings laughter into the room wherever she goes and ALWAYS has a smile on her face. She loves to help people in their time of need and has a passion to speak life into others. She is super stoked about what the Lord has been doing in her and what he will continue to do in her. I remember the first night after session she was upset during our group team time and we all prayed over her. Afterwards this peace seemed to wash over her and then the real Brittany came out. Britt, never EVER stop being you. The Lords excitement radiates out of you and is contagious. When you are excited, others are too. Never let that bright light inside of you grow dim. You are a warrior for the kingdom of God. Live like one. Love you my little firecracker.
Kate Fooshee- Absolutely beautiful. Her heart is for others and mostly for the Lord. She speaks tenderly but powerfully. She knows who her God is and who he says she is. And she is learning that there is so much more and is so ready for everything he is going to show her. She is gonna do some serious damage for the kingdom. She leads with her vulnerability and moves towards the freedom God has for her. She walks unashamedly in who she is and isn’t afraid of her emotions nor her past. Kate, I encourage you to let the Lord bring up those things that you may not want necessarily brought up. Let him walk you through it and free you from the chains of shame. You are a beautiful daughter of the King that carries his spirit wherever you go. Never stop loving those around you. Never stop leading with vulnerability. Love you.
Shekinah Crouch- Shekinah for one has a cool name like wow, second she absolutely is in love with the Lord. Her delight in him radiates out and motivates others to find delight in him too. She loves learning more about him and seeing him move not just in her life, but in others lives. She loves to encourage others and bring joy to any situation. She knows alot about the Lord, and is hungry to learn more about him. She walks tall and is learning to walk more and more in humility. She knows there is more of Jesus and is willing to do anything to get more of him. She has a passion for his word and is stoked for what the next nine months have. Kai, keep smiling. Keep chasing after Jesus. Keep letting him correct you because it his him showing you that he loves you and is kind to you. Don’t be afraid of what he brings up. He believes in you, keep trusting him. Never stop speaking truth and joy. Love you girl.
Abbey Stone- She isn’t pictured here but MAN do I love this girl. I love her super cool and thick Carolina accent and her funny personality. She has a heart of intentionality and has touched me more than she knows with how intentional she is. She has let me in to some of her story and I am honored to walk alongside with her to point her evermore towards the Lord and what He has to say about her. She is a trooper because she was sick the last few days of training camp (hence why she wasn’t in the picture) but she pushed through and stuck it out like a champ. She has a spirit of grit and determination and endurance. It will take her far in her walk and in life. Abbey find your worth in the Lord. Let him restore your worth in you because when he sees you he looks at you with eyes of a Father who loves his daughter unconditionally. Love you Abs.
Team Tribe everyone. I love you girls with all my heart. Privileged and honored to be y’alls team leader and watch how the Lord will shape your lives. Also honored to be apart of 40 something others lives as well. Love you Gap V.

Much love
