For this week’s blog, I wanted to tell you about the 7 girls that I get to call my teammates. These girls are really special. On the race, your team is your family. And we get even closer than a normal family. We aren’t even allowed to go down the street without one of them by our sides. We live together, sleep next to each other, eat together, pray together, hangout on the weekends together. So I wanted to introduce you to them. You get to read a little bit about why each of them is so great and why I love them uniquely. Let’s begin!
Steph:
Steph is smart, compassionate, and giving. She gives her knowledge away as quickly as the Father gives it to her. I always ask her tough Bible questions and she gives me a thorough, and thought out answers. I’m always silly with her and she never makes me feel like I am a burden. Being a teammate of Steph is an honor.
Josie:
Josie is a bright, bright gem! She lights up any room and makes it feel warm and familiar. She brings laughter into any situation. I can talk to her about the hard stuff and I can let loose and be silly with her. She listens to the Father very carefully.
Grace:
Grace is a natural friend. I don’t know if that makes sense but she’s just meant to be a friend to all. She is so inviting and loving. She makes you feel known and appreciated. When you’re with Grace, it feels like you’ve known her for years. The Lord’s patience and wisdom shines through her.
Moriah:
Moriah is a natural born leader. She is fierce and passionate and craves to know more. She says the tough things and invites me to ask the Lord about everything. I look up to her faith and I learn a lot from her.
Annika:
Annika is a caretaker. She took care of me when I was sick and she took care of the rest of my teammates when they were sick. When I am discouraged or happy or sad or excited, she is all of those emotions with me. Annika is one of a kind.
Alyssa:
Alyssa is a gentle soul. She is curious and spunky. She is always looking for ways to better herself and wants to read more about Jesus always.
Amber:
Amber is one of the funniest people I know. When you meet her you feel like you’ve known her for 10 years. She loves on me and others really well. She is real and raw and inspiring!
So, these are my bffs! I love them all a lot!!!
Thanks for reading!
