Being on N Squad was like coming alive, strong love, and a community I never experienced. Here are 11 memories that make saying good bye so hard: 1. Sharing pizza and Pepsi in leaderships room at our first debrief. 2. Eating the same icecream pie with 25 other people. 3. Sharing our living quarters ...

I met some people who live a different life than me and I served those who have less than me. I did things I didn’t know I could and was stretched in ways I didn’t expect. But coming home will be hard. I will experience some guilt from opportunities to things I own. When I first show up in my community I will be...

People and places have brought me so much joy but also brought me to tears. Over the last year my life has been similar to the gospel- ?. My key for the journey in the beginning of the Race was BE. Month 5 I remember the Father giving me a clear and direct vision of who my key was meant for. I got to give... Click here to continue reading...Comments (0) |Comments 0 Send to a friend Lean In. Plant Down. Grow UpI’m Posted in General Posts by Sarah Oliver on 8/19/2019 This time last year I was preparing to leave everything I had known for 11 months. I was hesitant but expectant of the who, what, when, where, and why’s. He has taught and shown me that I can’t put into one word what this season has meant to me. So here is just a tiny snippet in a lot of words of what this year has introduced me to! My World Race experience has taught me so much...

As this season comes to a close I am filled with bittersweet feelings. My squad-mate, Allie, once asked- What sauce would you describe your day?. Today I am choosing to describe my month as sweet and sour. August has been giving me what I need and not what I expected. A few weeks ago I went to the hospital to get my foot checked out and found out I...

Everyone has various definitions and expectations. Growing up my mindset was in order to worship there had to be music. But being on the mission field, in different countries, and interactions with people from different spiritual backgrounds has DEEPLY impacted my style of worship. During month 1 my ears filled with joy and my eyes filled wit...

We mentioned needing to create a team name and collectively decided on team twelve eyes. (We all wear glasses) But going deeper Jesus had twelve disciples and sent out the 72. Our goal is to be laborers, trust in God, and acceptance just like the people who were sent out. My desire this month is to have clear eyes ...

Society taught me to search for the boy of my dreams. Recently God showed me everywhere I go there is a trail of a broken heart. And one by one I watch a piece of my heart fall away. Throughout my time in high school and college I was on a pursuit to not be single. It’s a lifestyle I chased ...

I may not be able to control the things that happen to me. But the things that happen to me don’t have to control me. The insecurities and lies that challenged me made it hard to feel adequate and enough. I spent years limiting myself, holding myself down, and not allowing myself to dream.
