Kylee, You are so Loved.

For our last week in Guatemala our squad came together for our SIX MONTH DEBRIEF… I can’t believe that we are half way through this year on the race.

To start the week my teammate Becca led us in a time of intercessory prayer. As we began praying for different leaders in our organization it came time to pray for our squad Mentor Kylee who was sitting right next to me. I reached my hand over and placed it on her knee as people began to pray out loud over her. Throughout the prayer an overwhelming joy came to my heart. Tears gently rolled down my cheeks, a small smile came across my face and so many emotions flooded my heart. Before starting our next session I looked over to her and had to tell her what happened. I’ve never felt Gods love as clearly as I did in those few minutes of praying over Kylee. 

There is a LONG list of reasons why Kylee holds a special place in my heart. Throughout this year she has CONTINUOUSLY spoken truth over my life. She has ENCOURAGED me to keep pressing in to what God has for me. She has LISTENED to me pour my heart out more times than any human should have to. She has CHALLENGED me with questions and thoughts that I never could have imagined would bring so much growth. She has been a VESSEL for Holy Spirit to stretch my heart in new ways. She brings a humor and laughter to our squad that is UNIQUE and refreshing. The list literally goes on and on. 

In that moment of praying over her… none of these things came to my mind. All I felt was a deep love, delight, joy and excitement from God for who she is. When I tried explaining to her what I felt in that moment all I could say was that God adores his daughter. God delights in seeing her lead our squad with honor and ownership. God loves her humor and her laugh. God loves being with her in every moment. God loves her desire to commune with him. 

The feeling I got in that moment of praying over Kylee was one I’d never had before and one I will never forget. To experience even an ounce of love God has for her was a true honor. How cool that God loves her so much and STILL has an infinite amount of love to give out. 

Kylee Krusemark you are a gem. 

Thank you for the role you’ve played in my life. 

You are loved more than you’ll ever know.
