We are family :)

KCF 2012 exec team <3

It's actually crazy how far we've come haha I can't believe the year is over already. It's been a super long year. It felt slow but at the same time like it went by super fast. It's April already! The year is over. I'm done! O_O

We had our last exec meeting of the year today. Dang, it just seems like everything is finishing up lately. It's a weird feeling....things ending. I'm honestly so thankful for this team of people that God placed me with this year. We've gone through so much together and had our ups and downs but I can honestly say that this is a family God has given us.

It's funny looking back to last April. Last April I found out i'd be serving on exec 2011-2012. It was a bit bitter. There was drama that happened and truthfully, I didn't know whether or not I'd actually want to serve. I remember clearly at MayCon, we had a brief 'exec' meeting discussing how there was a mandatory conference in August that execs had to attend. At that time I had already booked my flights to HK and Korea and didn't care at all that I wasn't going to the conference. I remember thinking how they better not dare ask me to re-book my flights, a bit arrogant of me i'd say.

I also remember thinking about who the exec team would be made up of and honestly not knowing how I would make it through the year. I really doubted if this was really a team that God had put together, I didn't know anyone but I knew all of them were strong-willed and pretty direct. A good percentage of me had decided I wasn't going to serve but the little bit left decided I'd wait till after Bangladesh to withdraw. HAHA what a joke :P After Bangladesh I made clear commitments not to let what happened in Bangladesh happen at UWKCF...and what a year it has been. I see God's goodness so fully and abundantly. We were truly blessed by God so much this year. It was amazing witnessing the growth of individuals and of the community...and at the end of this whole year, I can truly say that this community and this exec team are like family to me.

I know we are individuals who care for one another, pray for one another and will support and encourage one another. We are all still learning the ways we give and receive love, but I know that if anything were to happen to me, I could tell one of these guys and they'd be there for me :) Here I'm only speaking of the exec team but this year God has honestly blessed me with relationships that are so dear to me. He has shown me what family in God's kingdom is like. We are family when we are all pursuing God and doing his work together.

This is definately going into my 500 project. I am so thankful and filled with joy when I reflect on the relationships God has placed in my life :)
