Team SONshine!

This month has been a special one. I’m currently living in a beautiful little church in the middle of Novi Sad, Serbia. I’m serving alongside a new team this month.. team SONshine! Let me tell you, this team embodies that name. They are some of the most joyful, gleaming, sunshiny women I get the privilege to love and be loved by. 

We are partnered with the local church to help in whatever way we can. Some days we have prayer walks and meet locals in town. Some days we host and attend youth group events. Some days we serve the homeless and show them basic love and kindness. Everyday is something new and exciting and different. I’ve definitely been learning the true meaning of ‘go with the flow’ and how to be flexible, in the best way. 

Without further ado here is the team.. (left to right)

Jillian – This gem lights up any life she walks into. She has a gift of loving and genuinely encouraging others so effortlessly. Her heart breaks for this world in a way that brings change and growth. 

Michelle – I wish I could bottle up this girls laugh and share it with the world. Michelle truly walks in joy and embodies the Holy Spirit. She has a warm and inviting heart and I’m convinced can make friends with anyone. 

Hannah – FIERCE. This woman has a hunger for God you can’t help but feel it being around her. She has a desire to be the best version of herself that God created her to be and won’t settle for less. 

Becca – the warmth she gives off is so inviting. She has an ear for listening and a desire to encourage that is straight from the Lord and will inspire you to do the same. 

Meagan – genuine joy flows out from her. She’s so intentional and makes me and everyone feel loved and seen when around her. I’ve shared some of the best laughs on the race with this gem. 

Sarah Ann – THIS WOMAN. This woman is a gift and a treasure. She is so intentional and caring it’s contagious. She embodies servanthood and has such a ‘yes’ in her spirit. 

I’ve loved living life with these six amazing ladies and have grown so much this month. The Lord is showing me simple joys in life. He’s altering my mind for what’s to come after the race. He’s pouring into me in new and different ways that I get to grow closer and depend on Him deeper. Europe has been a dream that I couldn’t have dreamt up myself. Wow God, thanks.
