Where have I been?

Hello everyone, I have been away for quite some time and you might be wondering where I have been? It has been a little over a month, but so much has happened in that time. Last time I updated all of you on what God was taking me through in Georgia. I will pause on that and bring you up to speed on what He is currently doing with me.

Since Georgia, I’ve stepped into a new role, changed teams, and traveled to two new countries. Each of these new things has brought about new challenges and growth areas. This will not be an exhaustive understanding, but a peek into the new; that way, the following blogs will make sense.

First, I was asked to step into being a team leader (TL), which has been incredible and hard. When I was first asked, I had no desire to really step into the role. It was evident to me that the team leader had more responsibility than just having a title. There was also the season of intimacy that Adonai was walking me through with Him. I didn’t want to lose any of that intimacy and closeness, so team-leading was far from my mind. God had new and exciting plans, though, and part of that was me being a TL. More about that to come.

(Yea, I don’t really know what I was doing in this picture. My wonderful teammate abbey captured me being weird, so I had to show it off,, lol.)

Secondly, I got a new team!! We are team Leviathan, and for reference as to why we chose that name, read Job 41:12-17. In this chapter, you see that God is going off about the Leviathan. You see both the beauty and destruction; it shows that God is amazing for creating the leviathan and deserving of respect for making something as terrifying as the leviathan. My team desired a cool name and knew that Elohim made us beautiful, yet in that beauty, the enemy should be terrified of us. We step onto the battlefield with full confidence knowing that Jehovah-Nissi flies the banner of victory over us. We also aim to live out verse 17 with one another, saying, “They are joined one to another; they clasp each other and cannot be separated” ESV. 

The picture on the right shows two teams, my team, and Lynneal’s team.(I love my team so much!  We both worked with Cru in Armenia and it was so fun! Specifically worked with two amazing families who cared for us so well.)

Lastly, we have been to two other countries other than Georgia. After receiving my team, we traveled to Armenia and stayed there for a month. Adonai went off in Armenia, giving us opportunities to do so much. From Armenia, we traveled to Kyrgyzstan, which is where we are currently. This country is beautiful, and the people are just as amazing. This has been one of the more difficult countries for me, as much as I have loved it—more on that to come.

(The picture on the left showed Kyrgyzstan when we were at the Yurt camp; that was an amazing time, and I can’t wait to tell ya’ll more about that. On the right is the city my team was in for majority of our time in Armenia.)

Thank you for reading, and I’m sorry it has been so long. I could tell so many crazy radical things Adonai has done for my team and me, so reach out and ask. Also, know that I will be updating you guys more regularly, hopefully. 

“The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.”
