I’ve been consistently listening to this song lately called You Keep on Getting Better. The first few lines of the song are… “I will sing of your goodness. I will sing of your love. Though the seasons come quickly, you have always been enough.” Then it just goes on to sing about Gods goodness.
This has honestly seemed to be the theme song of my life recently. I just feel like the more I discover about God, the more I grow in intimacy with Him, the more I say yes especially when it feels hard, the better He seems to get. But I guess when you think about a relationship with someone that all makes sense. You’re relationship gets better when you know each other more.
I’ve said yes to this thing with Jesus and it’s lead me to some pretty cool places. I’m currently sitting in an airport on the way to Spain… God asked me literally last March to go to Generation 42. It’s been a year since He asked and it took me about 3 months to say yes and even longer to actually get on board. But here I am.. sitting, about to get on my third and final flight to make it to Spain. I’m going.
And He lead me to the last two months, which is mostly what I want to talk about. I have had the absolute pleasure to lead team Sinha on their first 2 months of the World Race. I NEVER thought I would alumni lead especially with already committing to G42. But when I got asked and I thought about it and the people I’d get to lead alongside I literally thought, why not?! And actually. God had this good idea and then invited us, as a group of sweet friends, to lead together. It was just plainly a kind, sweet thing God did. He is actually just so good to us. He has these good ideas then invites us to join Him if we are willing. I’m glad I was.
Anyway, back to Sinha. I learned so so so much from each and every person on my team. Here are some of the things. I learned humility in so many ways. God revealed to me a lot of ways I still held pride even if I wasn’t super outward about it, which is always kinda ouchie. But it was so good to walk through that with Him. I learned to listen more and speak less. I learned what it looked like to have to step up more even when I didn’t want to or it felt uncomfy. I learned from Morgan what it looks like to take feedback incredibly humbly and apply it to your life. I learned from Isabel what it looks like to get past your feelings and pursue unity. I learned from Rachel what living selflessly looks like. I learned from Fifina how sweet it is to have someone who stands super firm in what they think but has not judgement or criticism when you think differently. I learned from Megan how beautiful it is to continually let Jesus strip away the things that aren’t of Him and fill those spaces Himself. I learned from Samantha how to be a better leader.
I’m incredibly grateful to walk away with all that I’ve learned. I think this season of life will provide a lot as I continue. I’m humbled to have been a part of it. So for now I’m saying, see ya later to the sweet friends I’ve made in the past few years. I’m saying bye to what has become comfortable and secure, a place where I’ve felt beyond loved and known. I’m sad to be leaving this but I’m excited for what’s next. Because you know He keeps on getting better and in every season He is good!!
so now….. IM READY FOR SPAIN!!
