Meet my team

I just spent 11 days in Georgia getting to know my squad. The people, who I will be spending the next 9 months with. They are awesome and they already have a huge place in my heart. I cannot wait to experience what the Lord will teach me through living with this community. I would like to introduce each of my squadmates and leaders so that you can get to know them as well.  

 Kate – wow I love this women. She is our squad mentor, She is so joyful , wise and loving. I think we hit the squad mentor jackpot with this awesome lady. she has such a servant heart.

.

  Taylor – one of our sqaud leaders. when I think of taylor I think of him as being the “cool uncle” despite his age (lol jk) he is really cool and he is always making us laugh. This man is always giving things up to serve and pursue the Lord.

 Kori Moon- this is my team leader. She is very goofy… finally found someone that will laugh with me about poop jokes… sorry if that was TMI buttt so thankful I get to learn from her and live with her for the first 3 months of the race.

You have to really get to know her to understand who she is. She is creative, she thinks deeply about the lord and his character . she doesn’t just go with what the world says but she seeks to understand something before she makes up her mind . I have a lot to learn from this gal.

  Abbie- Another awesome human that I have the pleasure of being on a team with. She is sooo creative. An amazing artist. I love to laugh and joke around with her.

 Danniy- this guy is a beast. So outgoing and not afraid to praise the Lord. Another one of the bros, he encourages me to be who the Lord has called me to be. 

 Before training my squad and I got to know each other through the screen of our phones. Through house party , snap , and facetime, and text. Without ever meeting in person they already felt like my family. So meeting them in person just reassured my heart that THESE are my people, people the Lord has blessed me with. People to live with, grow with, laugh with, cry with, learn from, and serve with.  I CANNOT WAIT for September 7th… starting a new chapter in my life, one filled with a loving community. I know that living in community with this many people for almost a whole year will have its ups and downs but I wouldn’t want to go through this next 9 months of my life with any other team. These are my homies. :))))
