Who does God say that you are? Who am  I? What are the promises spoken over your life? You see, we forgot ours.

In the craziness that was 2014 with an international move, becoming parents, living and reconnecting with family, transitioning back to life in the States and dealing with our own personal relationships with God…it was a tough year. I just listened to a wonderful podcast from Paul Manwaring (listen to the whole thing:  http://www.paulmanwaring.com/podcasts/rest-recreating-the-i-am-in-me) who was talking about rest–the recreating of ‘I Am’ in you. In it, he’s talking about rest not being a place or a destination or “doing nothing” , but coming back to seeking God to remember who He says you are. When God tells Moses “tell them ‘I Am’ the one who sent you.” Who is the ‘I Am’ in us? What are the promises that God has spoken over our life and who He says we are? Sadly, we forgot. It’s taken a lot of time, reflection, healing (an ongoing process at times) and remembering. We want to remember who God says we are, remember what we have seen Him do in our lives, and remember the promises He has for our future to move forward.

“The supernatural in the wilderness was to sustain us. The supernatural in the promised land is to advance us.” -Bill Johnson-

We believe and we are declaring that 2015 is the year we are re-creating Team Carter. The year Team Carter got their groove back. The year of seeking more of God in worship (in the little things–like how cleaning Miriam’s dirty diapers is worship), rediscovering more of the “I Am” in us–the piece of God that he put in us, restoring beauty, recreation and peace in our family to move forward. The next leg of the journey will be different. It’s a New Year and we are so looking forward to it!

Happy 2015! We hope you have an amazing year, filled with miracles and good things that come from the Father! Much love, Team Carter
