Territory for 2016

My Territory
My School (CRES)
My Family (Husband)
My Church (Life Church Worship)
My Community (The Bridge)

My School 

Since I've been at CRES I was made 4th grade chair, put on the PLT team as well as the Digital Literacy team. Not to mention, teaching two 4th grade classes. That is a lot for a first year teacher but, it's what God has placed in my territory so I will do whatever it is that is placed on my plate while at CRES.

My Family

Our family has been thrown a curveball and needs more hands on deck for the next year. I need to release some responsibilities to make sure that if needed I can be there in any moment. Also, my husband and I have decided to begin house shopping to prepare for our next stage of creating a family. This of course is my most important territory.

My Church

This coming year I want to serve my worship pastor in whatever areas he made need. I have seen myself flourish and grow in leading worship on stage with him for the past months. It's very evident and with that knowledge, I want to continue in this role for as long as I can.

My Community 

2016's Focus. The Bridge. The Bridge is a gathering of young adults all across the Gulf Coast quarterly where we come together to worship, pray, seek God, and hear His Word. This has been a HUGE step for our young adults group and at times can feel overbearing and too large of a vision. But, God has really really been pressing on my heart to run with this vision this year. Visit other churches, meet with church leaders, find the needs within their groups, create relationships, and network the church in our community. I truly believe if we can get our churches on the same page about the college aged ministry, we can really impact the colleges and universities within our city. Furthermore, we can definitely improve on the number of church dropouts and build the next church generation. Because, whether you know it or not the 20 somethings are the next church. In 2016, I really plan to get to know the church of Mobile, the Body of Christ in Mobile, Alabama and give The Bridge the attention it needs. The Bridge needs a four runner. Someone to take it where it needs to go and I'm willing to do that if that's what God has for me this next year. So many people right now in leadership for the Bridge have many roles to fulfill and the Bridge can get put to the side in most cases because it isn't top priority. God has shown me this month to make Bridge top Priority. We'll see in 2016 what that looks like and I will remain in prayer to hear what that should look like.
