I always knew that I was a passionate person. Get me going and I can feel the fire burn in my stomach and my feet stubbornly dig in. What I did not realize, was how quickly I would become passionate about B squad.
I feel my inner mama bear come out whenever I get talking to them or about them. I have a fierce love for them, which at times, scares me because I don’t normally let myself get this invested in people so quickly. The Lord has given me eyes to see each and every person on B squad how he sees them, and at times it’s too much.
They carry such potential, such joy, that I just wanted to grab them by the cheeks and shake them and tell them how much the Father loves them and delights in them. I honestly cannot wait for the day that they begin to understand and live out of true sonship/daughtership. AHH! I get giddy just thinking of that day.
The mama bear in me gets going when it comes to defending them, even to themselves. My heart breaks whenever they speak lies over themselves and I want to go into a diatribe about how their lies are not their identity and how deeply loved they are. B squad is full of people who carry such kingdom in them, but they don’t always believe that they do.
As I stepped out into this journey I didn’t really think that I would be so invested in this group already. It honestly takes me a long time to buy into people, and to love them well. I think God has worked a miracle in my heart, because I shouldn’t feel this passionate about 19 people that I have only really known for a month.
Pray for B squad as we step out of month 1 and into our first debrief. Pray that they would step into the fullness of identity that God desires for them. Pray that my heart would continue to grow deeper in love with this squad and all that God is doing in them!
