Well everyone, there you have it. 100 legit questions my teammates and myself have been asking over the past 4 months! Use this fun blog as a reminder to keep us in your prayers over the next year and a half.
We are human. We have questions, and honestly, sometimes we are extremely scared and feel so very incapable, but we all have one thing in common and its who we put our trust in.
Today we stand hand in hand as a squad knowing and believing we know who goes before us and we know who stand behind, the God of angel armies is ALWAYS ON OUR SIDE.
Humbled and hungry (spiritually and physically right now)
