Dear L Squad,
I have been to church a couple times. It makes me miss you all. I miss having someone pray over me just because they felt led to. I miss being artists with you. I miss laughing and crying and just taking each other where we are and loving, encouraging, and just admiring what God is doing in each other.
And the worship.
I miss so much worshiping with you guys. I’ll be sitting in church and wonder where Michelle and Moriah are with their beautiful dances. I’ll constantly be waiting for Bryan’s tone-deaf voice– seriously, one of the most genuine worshipers I’ve met. I’ll be expecting Hayden to pace the floors in the back praying over the revival in all our hearts that we expect anytime we are together. I’m waiting for Carly Brown or Jake to get up and pumping us up to make us think we can do absolutely anything.
I see so much of how the body is supposed to function when we are together. I’ve learned so much from all of you. From evangelizing with Noah, Jackie, and Michelle to being bold like Carly Bartemes and Christin to learning to be disciplined from Quinn, Higgins, and Keyes to learning from the Queens of mercy Sage and Goeking to worhsiping with Grimwood and Furlow- learning how to be crazy generous like Mary B and Natasha, learning to be humble and encouraging like the power house she is- Beth. Not to mention the MEN of L squad are literally one of a kind. You men started during training camp deciding to be different and to hold a different standard. Each of you stayed true- not to say you didn’t struggle but you ALL continuously went after the Lord and I have seen a mighty work in all of you. (Especially you four that I had the privilege of being on the same team with- you four have changed my life. Love you Clarkey Travee BryBry and Jake!)
Whether I was able to learn from you on my team or we have only spoken a few words- God has used you. God used you to change me and I am so thankful.
It’s been an amazing year.
I wasn’t always grateful for the community or the times I’ve been called out but now I see how huge of a blessing you have been and continue to be. Thank you.
For the hard talks.
For the prayer.
For letting me be your sister in such a real way.
I love you all.
I know God gave me you as a gift
to have a taste of what worshiping in heaven is going to be like.
But now God has pulled us away from each other. Sure we will fight for each other from afar- we are L squad after all. But we are separated because we are little spurts off fire in Knoxville and Canada and Georgia and Texas… and who knows were else- to bring people closer to God as we have for each other this year. I am so excited to see what happens next with all of us.
I hope to see you all again. I miss you guys!
I’ll pull a contact goodbye and sign off the way they would…
See you in heaven!
