Pumpkin spice lattes, scarves, boots, apple festivals, pumpkin pie, bon fires, brilliant oranges, yellows and reds… Ohhhh FALL how I love you and MISS you terribly.
I love the changes of seasons.
However, there is always a bitter sweet to changes. I hate saying good bye to swimming pools, sun dresses, bbq’s, watermelon, picnic's in the park, beach vaca’s, and flip flops.
This season in my Race is just like that… so very bitter sweet.
The last three months I have been blessed to be a team leader for a group of 5 beautiful, ridiculously funny, amazing women! I could write a book about each one of them. I will forever remember Team Eucharistia and all of our sweet memories. We had the tightest, sweetest bond. They are forever sisters to me.
Eucharistia- thankfulness, JOY and Grace.
That is what they taught me.
A new season has started.
I have been asked to be a squad leader.
At first I didn’t know what to say or what to do.
I was actually avoiding it. I knew change was is the air. I knew it was brewing, but I didn’t want to believe it. I knew that month four teams were changing and our squad leaders Garrett and Lauren (love them!) were going back to the states. But I didn’t want to accept it.
When I was asked I thought of all the reasons why I shouldn’t, couldn’t, or wouldn’t.
But Jesus told me to Go.
And this is what I said…
I don’t know what to do- but my eyes are on You.
I don’t know where I’m going- but I will follow You.
I will listen to YOUR voice and no one else’s.
I will keep my eyes on You- the author and perfector of my life.
He confirmed it. He gave me peace. He is my supply and will give me everything I need.
It was so hard saying good bye to team Eucharistia but God gave me a peace and excitement for the new season and new team.
team JMB
jay, meesh & bri.
I still don’t know what I really signed up for… but what I do know is there is more responsibility and a lot more TRUST, DEPENDENCE, and seeking the LORD.
Excited that I’ll be able to hop around and travel from team to team and love on the 40 amazing men and women of God on our squad and do ministry along side of them.
Humbled that He trusts me.
Expecting Him to speak- guide- lead- and sustain me.
And for the JOY of the LORd to be my STRENGTH.
Let the new adventures BEGIN!
