Glad I'm On Her Team

We all know people whose team we'd love to be on. They encourage, serve, build up and strengthen those around them, often in ways they're completely unaware of. Today I'm introducing you to a young leader God has done so much in and through. Her name is Stephanie LaFramboise, and yes, one day she will be known by name around the world (as was once prophesied over her). She's one of those people whose team you always want to be a part of. Stephanie was part of Harvest Church's original youth group and has only moved upwards from those days. What are some of the things I see in Stephanie that are essential in any young leader? Well she has wonderful pastoral skills and definitely loves people. She's always encouraging others and has a huge desire to see them grow in their walk with the Lord. But there are several other things that are often overlooked by young leaders, which Stephanie thrives with. These include being a multi-tasker, focusing on multiple things at once. She also helps teams become amazing. Whether in dance, small group or any other team, she brings so much to the table and empowers others around her. Lastly, she's flexible. She's learned that things won't always go the way you planned, and you need to be ready for whatever comes your way. In fact, she often turns difficult situations into fun situations. But what's the one thing that stands out about Stephanie? To me it's her surrender to the Lord and to completely follow His leading. So many young people want to do what they want, but Stephanie chose to lay down her desires and embrace the Lords. This is a lesson all Christians could learn from. I'm so thankful for Stephanie's friendship and am so glad I'm on her team :)
