I am sad. Terribly sad. I knew this was a 10 week internship when the summer started. I knew that 10 weeks could be really long or really short. I prayed for both, not knowing whether I wanted it to be short or long. I didn't know what to expect going in. I knew it would be challenging. I knew I would grow spiritually and that my faith would be challenged. I knew it would strengthen or perhaps crush the friendship I had with Holly, I prayed for strengthening and against crushing. It has been an amazing summer. I can't believe 10 weeks have passed that quickly. I wanted this time to be life changing and faith shaking. I got what I wished for in so many ways. On Wednesday night when I was sitting on the deck of our cabin in Buckhorn talking and consoling one of my youth members it hit me that I really COULD do this for the rest of my life. I know I've said it before, but I never really believed myself or the power of my words. WHen I was offering her advice and trying to help in her grieving process I realized that this was what I was meant to do. This one event brought so much perspective to the rest of the summer and everything I have learned. It was like everything Holly had been teaching me and every thing I had been learning was all for this and it paid off.
And now it's over. Two more services Sunday morning and I am no longer the intern at Second. Two more services and I know I will be sitting in my car balling my eyes out because I don't know what I will do Monday morning when I don't wake up at 7am to go to work. I don't know what I will do when I don't have a 9am meeting with Holly. It's exciting that it's complete, but it's sad all the same.
I'm just happy that two weeks from now I get to come back to help with the Fall Festival that I've spent much of the summer helping to plan, and that weekend gets to include spending quality time with Holly since I am crashing on her couch that weekend.
Oh and on a very happy note I got a baby shower invite from my friend Alice today, her and her husband are having their first child in October. Wa-hoo!
