Do you ever get that feeling of complete shock in situations and you automatically go numb? Everything in your heart, mind, and soul go blank and you are at a loss for words. You may think I'm dramatic, but it's how I felt when I was faced with a reality check. A reality check that completely wrecked my comfort. My team changed. My.Team.Changed. GPS was something so close to my heart. They knew me and my silly, jumbled heart and mind. They knew when to hug me and when to listen. God was doing big things in our group. In my heart, I never thought this would happen. I thanked God for them every day. I had deep tummy laughs, conversations, and prayers. But the good thing through all of this, is that God had prepared me ahead of time. I put the puzzle pieces together and accepted this challenge. I mean, it's what I asked for. He is always before me. He is never against me or puts me in harm. Last month in Albania I had two prophetic dreams. One dream was about new beginnings and the other about stepping into faith. It makes me feel pretty cool that the King of the Universe and God of all Creation loves me that much to prepare me for the new things to come. It's going to bring challenges, hardships resulting in greater faith, and beauty all at the same time. What I've been praying for is to walk in humility, surrender, and the goodness of God. Well, He sure did give me an opportunity to grow in all of these areas. I surrendered my emotions and GPS team to The Lord. I cried out to Him to hold my hand in this new season. He is my rock and He will never be shaken. I believe that God is doing something good, and I trust Him. I have no choice but to trust Him. I am asking you to please be in prayer for us. To pray for immediate unity and love. To let Jesus be the foundation first, before anything else. I am expecting big things to happen and nothing less.
GPS: Betsy, Alex, Jordan, Amanda, Brent, Myself, and Kelli. You are so treasured and you will always be my BF4L.
My new team name is "Committed". I am committed to The Lord, my team, and this new season.
Seth, Savannah, Emily, Kelli, Myself, and Jah-Jah. Kelli is my new team leader, and I'm so excited to see her grow in this chapter of her life! She's one of the greatest friends I've ever had!
To my team: I promise to love you and take care of you in the ways that I can. I will pray for you all the time. I will be that listening ear and shoulder to lean on. I will help you grow in the ways I have to offer, and in return learn from you. You are anointed and God has huge plans for you. I love you, and I mean that. I want to treat you as Jesus would, and I ask for forgiveness and grace when I stumble. You all are awesome, and I can't wait to do life with you! 🙂
