Following the will of God for a life can be tricky. Sometimes we can feel as though we are just walking blind into situations. I know I do. It’s like I know I can see a light somewhere-but I’m not sure where it’s leading or what path comes next. Today I entered the next step of my life-the work world.
Yes, I am now officually a Youth Intern.
Today was a pretty basic day-gearing up for tomorrow. Today I was introduced to the staff-tomorrow I am introduced to the Youth. I got my own computer, my own church email, my own desk, and my own paperclips and post-it-notes. How awesome is that? I had assigned reading, a team meeting, a Pastors meeting, lunch with the Youth Pastor and my other intern whom I shall call Rose although he is a boy (those of you who know him get the joke). After lunch we hit a first for me-we all went through the car wash. I’d never been in one before and I must say it was VERY exciting.
We went back to do some more work, and at the end of the day we spent a few minutes “testing out” the Wii. It was only my second time on the Wii (first time for more then like 5 minutes-and I didn’t remember much of anything). Rose and I dominated our boss for the first set, but then he got his pride hurt, and smoked us. In golf the Wii actually told me to give up-I laughed.
This whole time I’m just sitting back amazed at where I am. It’s like this whole job thing was just this black darkness-and God totally just placed me where he wanted me. All I had to do was listen to his quiet guidance, and sit back while He did most of the work. He wants me there. Do you know how it feels when you enter a situation where you KNOW that you are supposed to be there? It’s just so amazing. It’s not easy. It’s not not stressful. It’s not not intimidating-it is-but it’s where I’m supposed to be and I’m excited.
All this to say that I’m not sure how much time I’ll have to blog over the summer-I’ll have to take it as it goes-but I’m sure I’ll have time to squeeze in a post about every other day. (I KNOW that I’ll atleast get to post once a week because I get one day off!)
Until next post-Take care, and know that I pray for you.
