Teamwork At It's Finest!

Today I really don't want to talk about my own journey so instead I will focus on the team as a whole. 


This team is filled with strong, amazing people.  They are each in their own way overcomers.  Everyone has had personal struggles to deal with like injuries, work or school schedules, family issues.  Most would likely say that they have not had the year they had planned when they signed up last fall.  Yet each person has a unique story filled with amazing personal triumphs and growth.


There are times in life when you take a group of people and place them together and call them a team.  The people can each individually be amazing yet they fail to truly come together.  They are all individuals working towards something but that connection doesn't seem to happen.  Their impact is simply the sum of each of their individual contributions.  If everyone and everything is running perfectly, then this group of people will still have success.


Then there are times when something quite extraordinary happens.  It is even hard to explain how or why but to witness and be a part of it is awesome.  The Sheep Team is one of those groups that is simply quite extraordinary.  I look at this past week.  One team member put out a call for help on a goal.  Now there are paper cranes strung up all over the kwoon and every day more are flooding in.  Then the demo yesterday was fantastic!  Each team member went out and really shone bright but even brighter was the obvious relationships that have formed.  The team photos that were taken after the event shows a group of truly bonded people.  The Sheep Team is infinitely stronger and greater than the sum of each of individual's contribution.  I am so blessed to be able to be a part of it and I can't wait to see what else we can do together this year!
