[team powerhouse.]
to be friends with [in the beginning], is not necessarily my cup of
tea. I like my space. I like to choose who I spend my time with. I
usually have the attitude, if you don’t like me, don’t be my friend. I
don’t care. My oh my what was I thinking when I joined the World
Race? There is absolutely, undeniably, no room for that sort of
attitude here. Trust me. Let me share with you a little picture of
what the Lord has taught me through my team.
I would venture to say that the 7 of us would probably not all be
“besties” if we lived in the same city in America, under “normal”
circumstances. I’ve abandoned everything I ever thought of “normal”,
though. And though we are all very different, we butt head at times,
we hurt each others feelings, get our feelings hurt, and don’t always
understand one another… God has blessed me with an incredible team to
help mold me into the woman He is calling me to be, the woman he
created me to be. You see, these 7 people have made me realize a lot
[sometimes too much] about myself and what I lack. I remember the
first week in New Zealand when I realized, I suck. I was placed on a
team with some people with huge servant hearts, and prior to this trip,
I thought I had a pretty big one too. But, in New Zealand, when
everyone around me was serving with all they had, and EXCITED about
it… what? All I wanted to do was go be by myself in my tent. That’s when I realized these people are going to stretch me,
challenge me, and grow me into being who God wants me to be and they
won’t settle for anything less.
at work. Over the next week [or month if I am realistic], I want to
introduce them to you individually. Get ready to meet some pretty
incredible people.
