My Blessings
SO, God is amazing!!! haha.
Sometimes I feel like I shouldnt be so greatful for the things I have, and other times im not greatful at all.
Ive been looking back at my summer, and decided thats its been the most amazing summer yet.
Its been fulfilling and enjoyable and I couldnt have asked for anything better... except to fall in love, but i wont even go there.
I feel like a real live adult. I dont feel like that once frazzled youth that we think we can never escape. People this summer treated me like an adult and talked to me accordingly. Im going to my last event as Trinity E.C.'s 2005 Summer Intern, and I am so excited.
Not because its over but because of the possibilities ahead of me. This internship opens a lot of doors for me with the experience I got from it. It gives me many good references and tons of oppurtunity.
I dont think i wouldve added or taken away from anything this summer and God knew exactly what He was doing when he brought me home.
Now, Im not saying this summer was all fun, there were painful times that I had to deal with esp. with my mom and sister. But... I am loved and appreciated the people aroungd me have been so uplifting and encouraging esp. in my times of need. When I focused on the negative I smacked myself in the face (not litterally) and told myself there is nothing to be down about because God has given you more then you couldve ever expected this summer.
I was so scared when I left that I would never come back, and so bent on not wanting to be near my family because of that I almost a perfectly good oppurtunity to serve God, care for the people I love and grew up with, and be an example for a bunch of teens who really needed it.
Im not trying to be prideful when I say that or this, but I think that the teens needed me here... I changed lives because God gave me a gift to be able to talk and relate to youth in a different way. (at least thats what ive been told.
I will so dearly miss my girls here, and their love for me and each other, their example has taught me so many things about compassion and grace and humbleness.
Wow, God is AMAZING!!!
If its anything I would like to say thanks to all of you who read my journal and are encouraged by it because of you I feel graced with a different sort of ministry and that is to encourage you with my blessings, to fulfill God's purpose in your life, and tell you that the hard times are worth it.
If you need me Im here. Keep pressing for the Prize: Jesus!
Hallelujah
