MEEEEETT TEEEAAAAMMM
LLLLOOOOOOOVVVEEEEESSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNGGGGGGGG
You're gonna wanna say that in your best "let's get ready to rumble" voice to get the full effect. Ya know, the wrestling dude from back in the day.
I wanna take some time to talk about my team. We are team Lovesong if you didn't pick that up from my wrestling introduction. If you go to my blog, which you are at right now because you're reading this, you will notice that to the left over there and down below a pinch are links to all of their blogs.
But let's be real. 64% of you are going to see that, say "oooh how neat," and go on about your day. But… you made it here, so I will give you the pleasure of getting to know them a little right now. Really though, please visit their blogs. Subscribe. Donate to them. Pray for them. Get to know them like you would your neighbor's puppy who you get to watch when they go out of town.
AMANDA HOWARD
Yes, she's rad. You can admit it.
This chica and I did not really talk until the day before we were placed on a team together. I was nervous that day. I thought to myself "hmm… there are girls in this group that I've not said more than five words to." She was one of them… but in the next days, I got to experience the compassionate, serving, loving, funny woman of God that she is. She is our team leader, and let me tell ya I'm stoked about it and cannot wait to serve her during this journey. I ask that you pray for her as she leads our team. This is a huge task that has been set before her, but one that I have no doubt will bring her great reward.
ANNEE BALLARD
Do you wish you were as cool as her? I do too.
Annee and I developed a friendship before training camp. We even had dreams about each other. I dreamt that she was a ten foot tall woman that hugged me to death… literally…. when we met. Hers was that we were at a water park and every time I came into the scene I had an "entrance song." The song was Dancing Queen. It's okay to be a little envious. I knew before meeting her that she and I would be the best of amigas. She was the ears to both my fears and excitement and the cause of much laughter and I cannot even explain how excited I am to work with her this upcoming year and watch her change the nations. Please stalk her a lot and get to know her.
You won't be disappointed.
JENNA HARVEY
She might sell you those earrings if you ask nicely.
Jenna and I didn't talk much either before we were placed on a team together. Not gonna lie… it was a smidge awkward at first. Well… I guess it was me that was probably awkward. I just never know what to say to people. "Uhh… hi… so… what size shoe do you wear?" Jenna, though, has a way of making you so comfy. She is so easy to open up to and talk to and just be with. She has such a servant's heart and is so full of life and love … and other mysteries. Thank you Point of Grace. I am blessed to have the opportunity to live life with Jenna and serve alongside her.
You should stalk her too.
KRISTIN FRIZZELL
Ohhhhh, Frizzell. Where do I begin?
This beautiful lady is such a joy to be around. At the beginning of camp, she definitely intimidated me a bit. As camp went on and my pride and, well, everything else, was broken down, I began to be able to recognize how great she is. I was the one who sat there during activities not saying diddly squat, and she was always there encouraging to me to say something. Like I said, at first this was intimidating. But now I see it as nothing more than a blessing. On our ministry day I got to see such a raw side of her. It was beautiful. I appreciate her so much and know she is going to be used to change the world in ways she can't even imagine.
OLIVIA GILL
How could you not love that face? That's right. It's impossible.
Olivia is one of those people that just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. She is so fun to be around and so loving and honest. I felt like we were long lost preschool buddies or something. She is passionate, and ready and willing to serve, and I know that she is going to speak life into the places we visit. She is the one in charge of our
finances and budget this year and I have to give her props for that because I get confused just thinking about it. Olivia is going to be part of some incredible things this year so you should probably go ahead and mosey on over to her blog and subscribe.
….Well, there you have it. Team Lovesong.
Please, I am borderline begging you to take these ladies in as your own. God handpicked, HANDPICKED, them for this race. Not only that, HE put us on this team together. This year we are going to rejoice together, mourn together, laugh, hurt, any emotion you can think of… together.
When my mom was preggers with my last brother and I found out it was going
to be a boy, I cried.
There went my last chance for a sister.
Little did I know I would one day have five beautiful sisters.
It was well worth the wait.
