Encouragement for this Weekend. :)

Hi friends - I just wanted to drop by and say that I will be thinking about and praying for you guys this weekend at the retreat.

I hope it's a time where you guys as a team can continue to throw yourselves on the God of the universe, giving up your own expectations of the summer, and surrendering to His calling on your life in this season. I hope it's a time where you guys continue to walk this journey of vulnerability and authenticity with each other that started on this blog just a few weeks ago. I hope it's a time that is challenging and encouraging in more ways than you think possible. I'm praying that God would give you guys a united vision for what He's been doing, what He is doing, and what He's going to do in and around you guys this summer.

You all are stepping into a beautiful experience. One that is fun. One that is new. One that is exciting. An experience you will never forget. But it's also one that is hard. One that is nerve-wrecking. One that can be painful. And in the "hard", the nerves, the pain, the joy, the excitement - you will see God move in ways you'd never imagine.

I'm excited watch you guys grow as a team over the next few months, starting with the retreat this weekend and continuing to trainings and through the summer.

Be blessed this weekend! I'll be thinking about you guys a ton. :) Love you guys.
