Hey Friends
Hey friends, please check the DR team blog. We have updated it and put some pictures of training camp on there. Please continue your prayers and thank you so much for the ones that have been sent up already for us. The team is doing great. Last night was awesome. I (Sarah) had been fairly sick all day and just stressed about my role. I was feeling pretty inadequate for the task at hand when we went into our leader meeting. We were able to spend a lot of time in prayer in which I was reminded that it wasn’t about what I had to offer but what God was going to do through me. After the meeting we went up to our evening session which was on surrender. It was a powerful talk and it really hit home with several of the girls. I was able to pray and minister to six of the nine girls on our team. With each one I just felt God giving me the words to pray. It was awesome. One of the girls was really dealing with a lot and God just gave me scripture and prayers for her. I left feeling more used of God than I have ever felt in my life. It was completely indescribable. Anyway, please pray for me tomorrow. The bus leaves for the airport at 3 in the morning and I don’t do so well with getting up early or car rides. I am really nervous about being sick. I haven’t thrown up yet but there has been a lot of nausea and dry heaving. Anyway, I really have to go pack up our stuff. Thanks for all the love and prayers. Shawn is doing a great job with our team too. God is really using him too. It has been cool to watch.
Glad to hear how much God is using y’all already! It’s very easy to feel inadequate for God’s work but one thing I’ve learned is that if God waited until we thought we were good enough, we wouldn’t need to lean on Him for help! It has to be done all in His strength and not our own! How often He reminds us of that! Hope y’all made it safely. Can’t wait for another update. Miss you guys and am praying!!
