Okay volume 2 coming at you.
I had a conversation this morning and I said “do you really think psquad is as iconic as people say?” And honestly I knew the answer – P Sqaud is iconic. We will not go unnoticed, but we are willing to die and be forgotten.
So the next 4 people
Jillisa – a fellow Southeastern Texan. Jillisa is the one who answered my random phone calls before the race, and agreed to get an Airbnb 3 days before we met the rest of the squad in Atlanta and we created some core memories. Jillisa is bold and confident in the Lord, she loves Gospel conversations and is not afraid of a little bit of push back. She is a pursuer of people and loves to be your friend, and directs you towards the Father. She is wise. Jillisa has taught me what it means to have a true friendship with someone, that depth in relationships are important.
Woah, a hidden gem. Morgan Maple, I just recently got to have a meaty conversation with this gal about worship and man did it PUMP ME UP. Morgan is wise with her words, speaking truth and wisdom. She is an encourager and walks not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Morgan does not let one person go unseen – she gives everyone she sits with the attention of Heaven. She is willing to give up personal time to intercede on behalf of the rest of her squad mates. Something Morgan has taught me is to encourage our brothers an our sisters to walk in the FULL potential the Lord has given us.
Michael, aka Mikey Mike aka Health Inspector – A CHARACTER and a staple piece to this squad. This guy has the full attention of the room when he speaks, maybe not because the words he says are revelational, maybe they are, but because this guy is straight up comedian. Jerry Seinfeld, Kevin Hart, Robin Williams, John Christ have NOTHING on this man. Michael is also just a man of his word, if he says he is going to do something he is going to do it until it is done. He loves his footnotes in his Bible and will always share. ‘Alright’ is his favorite word. Michael has taught me what it looks like to live life on mission, to literally just be the Gospel and share the love of Christ wherever I go. 
Our fellow Elder Jaden, the guy who is always in style and rocks the Nike blazers and corduroy on the race. This guy loves the adventure, he is always down for the experience. He is always the first to volunteer to be on a holiday committee – always cooking the best food and making sure we enjoy the holiday away from home. He is a guy of research and learning, he loves to learn. He loves to debate. Jaden loves to love. If there is anything this guy has taught me it is how to love our neighbor as ourself. To approach every situation I am in with love first.
Until next time love well my friends.
I love the way you see everyone around you…through the lens of a servant and the lens of His pure and perfect love. You be sneaky bout it, but you be speaking life into SO MANY. Don’t think I didn’t miss you calling us friends at the end either. Keep dumping ALL of it at His feet, I’m so proud of you
Wow, the way you build up this squad is so incredible. You are incredible, Alyssa!
