allow me to introduce you to my new team, Team Awaken.
{sometimes we're classy}
{other times, not so much.}
that's right, you can't take us anywhere.
but God has been doing some big things on the Race so far, including changing up a few teams. ours was one of them. but when some seasons end, new ones begin, and new families are birthed. i'm thankful for the newness, and though it's taken some adjusting and a lot of intentional communication, we fit. while it's hard not to dwell on the past or wonder what God was doing in all of that, things are set into place, and we're pressing on toward the goal and prize which God has for each of us. together. and that feels really good. do you wanna get to know us a bit better?
well here's the low-down, from left to right:
suzy {suz, suzy Q, etc.}: well, if you're visiting my blog and you know me, you'll know that's me. i'm the tannest i've been in a while. thank God for the equator {sometimes}.
robin {robs}: ahhh!!! she is our newest, loudest, and very loving and giggly team member who is a serious photograph badass! she's a pro–wait till you see some of her work. she's helped usher in this sense of newness and rawness that our team was in the midst of searching for, and we're so thankful for her!
naomi {nomes}: this is one Texan you'd love to know and dwell with. she's hilarious, and throws down a serious air-guitar when performing dramas and skits for school-aged kids here in central america. she's a free spirit who loves adventure–we call her our "adreneline junkie"!
kelly {kell bell}: is a powerful woman who loves government legislation. so much so, that God has opened doors for her to volunteer here in Honduras' Congress. WHAT! she's also italian and thus likes that type of food. she's spunky and a super hard-worker, and she has the weirdest laugh ever. it's great. she also showers a lot, which is great.
brittany {britters, b bake, etc.}: this woman has been brought up as a leader for our team, but has been prepared by God for this moment her whole life, unbeknownst to her until now. i'm grateful for her discerning spirit and words that can cut you deeply {in the best way ever}, and her ability to laugh at the small stuff. don't ever challenge her in a game of basketball, because you will go DOWN.
amanda kay {manda bear}: this lady is a gem. she's not only our new, saavy team treasurer, but she has dreams and visions from the Lord that will blow you away. I would not be surprised if she came back to Central America, because God has already done immense things in her heart here. she's not ashamed of sleeping with a teddy bear, and she loves relentlessly. she gets me and thinks i'm funny, which is weird…but great.
well that about wraps it up! God is Awakening our eyes and our hearts to things unseen, and it's such a big part of each of our eternal journies {hence our amazing new name}. We can't wait to experience this year as it unfolds more and more. learn how you can "adopt us" on the left-hand side of this page–but if you don't, it's cool, because we're already family. truly. it's been wonderful.
still…it's tempting, right?
do it. 🙂
i'm thankful for these women, more than i can say.
in Christ's Love,
suzy
