Team Work!

Hey everyone! First off, no words could possibly express the joy and excitement that is building in me everyday as i am preparing for this trip! This is a complete new area for me and my first major mission trip and i am so thrilled to be doing something crazy for God! As i have been reading "Outlive Your Life" along with the rest of my Tanzania team i came to a chapter on the importance of having a team or a group in your walk with Christ and in the things that you will do for Him. This chapter was so incredible because God really spoke to me through it! He was showing me that He has selected the perfect group to go over to Dar, one whom He is going to use to bring about some pretty awesome things. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 says "It's better to have a partner than to go at it alone. Share the work, share the wealth. And if one falls down, the other helps, but if there's no one to help, tough!" It is so important to have a support group when you are living your life in crazy actions for the Lord and with our Tanzania team i know that God has selected the most extraordinary of gifts to collaborate so that we can all be the best for each other and for Him! i hope my enthusiasm is evident in this because i am smiling the whole time writing it! it is just awesome to me that God can use the biggest of sinners and the most insignificant of people to carry out His work; and to be apart of something bigger than myself is very rewarding. This trip will be challenging none the less, but that is why we are going at it as a TEAM! With all of us, there will never be a lack of encouragement or passion; and as the day gets closer to our flight, we are continuing to learn more about each other as well as learning more about ourselves. God is so powerful and He is going to be revealed to us in ways that i dont think we will have ever seen before!

Please continue to keep us in your prayers daily as we prepare for our Lord's work!
