Team

My best friend Tayler sent me a message this morning that really made me smile. She was reading her daily devo last night by Rick Warren. It really related to me and this trip and I want to share it with all of you like she shared it with me today!:) I am so glad that I have friends and family supporting me and thinking of me as I prepare for this trip! Thanks Tay!<3

It's titled "Success Involves Help From Others" and is focused on Ecclesiastes 4:12... "And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart."

To reach your goals you may need to enlist a team for support [which made me think of your Africa group]. I've been to Africa many times and heard this proverb over and over: "If you want to go fast, go by yourself. If you want to go far, go with others." We think it's important to make a speedy decision, but it's more important to make the right decision.

Success is never a one-man job; it takes teamwork. God wired it this way because the most important lesson he wants you to learn here on earth is to love people. Not only that, there are some things in your life that you will never be able to change without the support, prayers and encouragement of other people. That's why it's so important to be in a small group.

Our verse today says it all. The stronger your team is, the more you can fulfill your dream.


I really love this and I think that it can apply to others and my life not just in Africa. Family and friends are so important to push you along and give you encouragement as well as walk by your side the whole way!
I am so blessed to have this in my life!
Today was a good day! Cleaned up ALL the junk I brought home from college...and yes...it is all JUNK! My grandpa took me out for breakfast and I loved every minute of it! I treasure moments like that! We went to the local restaurant..Hilltop...for some eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy, and hashbrowns. Nothing like a good breakfast...with people you know sitting around you...talking...and enjoying life!
FIVE DAYS and I will be flying...with my team...who are my family...and from that moment on..we will be getting stronger and bonding in love to fulfill these dreams!!
