Meet My Team: Tov
Tov: the Hebrew word for good. Good, but not in the way we tend to throw it around in the English language. It’s the good we commonly see in the creation story where God creates and declares: “it is good”. The way we see good here is used more in the sense of something that you do, something that’s a part of your being.
As a team, that’s what we decided we wanted to embody and pursue. There’s so many layers to this beautiful word, and praise God we get to unwrap that on this journey. But already, I see these women seeking out the goodness of God in the discomfort of this season as well as inviting others into that.
This is a team that declares the goodness of the Lord. They declare it over this season even when it’s hard. Good doesn’t mean easy, it can be messy and uncomfortable and beautiful and everything in between. But what a privilege and honor it is to get to walk through this season as a team and declare “it is good” no matter what happens. Because our Father is good, and He calls this season good, and so can we.
It’s already been around 7 weeks of walking alongside these women, I can hardly believe it. We just finished 2 weeks of serving with Samaritans Purse doing disaster relief in Hammond, LA. Doing ministry with this team has allowed me to see them in a whole new light. The way they serve sacrificially and wholeheartedly reflects the heart of God. They balance having fun with doing things in excellence/working hard. These women are also some of the funniest people I’ve met, and time with them is a JOY. It’s an honor to know them, to lead them, to love them, to simply be their friend. They passionately pursue truth and seek to honor the Lord and their community around them.
Without further ado, meet team Tov!
