A lot has happened since central America. Between team changes, adjusting to a 13 hour time difference from back home and adopting a baby kitten named Ramona… we've been busy. 

 
At debrief in Granada, Team FireStarters got split up. At first, this was really hard for me. I felt as though I had failed as a leader and let all the "could've, would've, should've done" lies creep in. After processing and praying about the situation God showed me I had not failed. The changes needed to happen so we could continue to grow closer to God and be challenged by others. 
 
With that being said, let me introduce you to Team Shiloh. We are a powerhouse team of 6 amazing woman brought together to serve for such a time as this. So you can get to know everyone quickly, I will give a brief, fun description: 
 
Cheyanne is spunky, outgoing and is just craving a deeper relationship with Jesus every day. It's been so encouraging to hear about what she's learning and how she's growing. 
 
Amanda is a firecracker, passionate about jamming on the guitar and flying airplanes. She has such a big heart for missions which challenges me to ponder the dreams/desires of my heart and how they fit into Gods plan. 
 
Meg is a quiet, yet wise woman who has a way of making children feel loved, appreciate and so special that I will never understand. She's an amazing listener and has really challenged me through many heart to heart conversations. 
 
Laura is a down to earth, laid back woman who has been figuring out what it really looks like to follow Jesus in this world. Our similar life stories make it easy to connect and understand/encourage one another.
 
Jackie is a fun loving, easy going, solo dance party with an iPod kinda girl.  She's a prayer warrior like no other and has been such a source of encouragement to me!
