Team Yearning - FMF

Five Minute Friday, this weeks word "Team," Let's Go!


 This week I was asked a question live on radio that I was not prepared for. It was "so what do you do on Sundays?" Haha, well, nothing. "We keep the sabbath on Saturday so that's our time to be refreshed and lifted up. On Sundays however, we do odd chores etc and then on Sunday evenings my husband and I host a radio broadcast." The host was sweet and after the interview ended, I thought about the radio braodcast and some of the people we "fellowship" with, through reaching them via streaming. Some of them, are in remote places, are in difficult situations and are the only real believers in their families. They are precious people, and they don't have a team, a spiritual team.
Today I was faced with a difficult situation in my own life. A situation where I just prayed for some comfort, perhaps for a team mate, someone to affirm my feelings in love and offer comfort. Then as I heard a familiar worship song come on, I began feeling refreshed, built up, reminded of truth. This singer was a team member, in an unexpected place. Singing for the same side. I also had some positive words offered to me via someone who does not know me. In this way I had a team, perhaps not physically but God is without limits. Spiritual, everywhere and He can use anyone and anything to built us up again. Sometimes we do need a team, it could be a team of one or many, and they come in all shapes and colours. Let us ourselves, commit to being a team. Perhaps it's a positive uplifting email you need to send, or just a text telling someone you value them. In this way, we are being a team and you have no idea how much it can refresh a weary soul.......

  1. Great post. We have to commit to being a team, but we can, and should also commit to accepting a team that comes from many places, some quite far away.

    Nothing is as lonely as facing death without 'local' understanding, and nothing ameliorates that more than the love and prayers of a team scattered across the globe and taken to one's heart.

  2. Beautiful post! I love that He can use anyone or anything to bring His children comfort. It was a blessing when I came to know Hebrews 12:1. On days when I feel alone, I am reminded I have a huge team in the spiritual realm cheering me on. I pray that you will continue to find peace and comfort during the hard moments. Be blessed!

    1. Hey Latonya, thank you for reminding me of that scripture, it's one of my favourites. Wow, that great cloud of men and women, faith heroes and heroines cheering on us, screaming "it's your time to change the world!" wow, this has really blessed me. I often think of it and am so glad for the reminder. Good to meet you and I pray you are enjoying a most blessed weekend. SHalom in abundance!
