My Team PART ONE (1 of 5)

My team -

I figure we are lucky enough to have one of the greatest teams in our region so I'd like to take the time to say how each is a role model (even though this may be done in multiple posts)...

Ryan - It's easiest to start here. Ryan has so much faith in the Lord that it continually encourages me to trust that Lord will provide and will bring us through whatever situation we are in. He's a role model to me in how laid back he is and his deep appreciation for rest and relaxation. It teaches me to enjoy life and spend time doing the things that make me happy. This ultimately allows me to love people better...

Liz - Can I just clone her parenting skills???? Liz is SUCH a role model to me in godly parenting. Pair that with the idea that I have never seen Godly parenting in action she's one of the most beautiful people I know. Being a fellow performance struggler, she continually speaks to me heart about living in grace, letting balls drop, and being loved by the Lord even when we don't do those things. She's a tremendous role model of friendship, love, and being loved by the Lord exactly how you are.

Laurie - Laur's a role model to me because she's a tangible example of how the Lord can dramatically change someone's life if you allow Him to. She continually perserveres to find out who she is in the Lord, walks by faith in her placement for next year, but more importantly is realistic about her emotions in all situations. She doesn't try to live out of "where I should be" but is willing to bear all and really open up to what she is struggling with and where she is at emotionally. I admire that SO much in her.

David - Wow. Can I just say that David really took his placement for next year and went for it! I look up to David's proactiveness and see that in his life in so many ways. I admire how he took the initiative to start greek ministry in Lambda Chi and then didint start there but went for three more houses. I admire how he networked at DCC and took advantage of his time to meet with campus directors and see where he would be a good fit. I'm thankful call David my firend and value the role model he is for living life fully, always having a good time, and yet always being willing to be real and authentic with where he is at. Thanks for being such a great friend David.

I think I'll do 4 a day for the next few days....
