Kickoff Week

Well, I survived Rally Day and my first Wednesdays Together which is our Wednesday programming. Now it's Thursday and I swear it's so quiet around the office I can hear crickets... Plus, we're getting the leftovers of Ernesto so it's really rainy and well, quiet. I'm amazed at how fast things can go down here. The week leading up to all of this was crazy and I found myself doing random projects, running errands, and doing whatever I could to help and then all of it came and went and you're left thinking, that was it? I suppose that's a good thing, no major crises or anything. It's like you do the worst case scenario planning and then because of that, everything seems to go really well. So, I'm not complaining by any means. Plus, the small group Bible study that we're starting for young adults at Caribou started off really well which is a good feeling.

I think one thing that has surprised me a lot about internship so far is how much I've been praying. And something like that shouldn't surprise me. But I find myself praying over the little and the big stuff in my car, in bed, in my office, and in church and the need to pray for something or someone never seems to go away. And this is a good thing for me. I'm being reminded daily of my absolute need of and dependence on God in every little part of my life whether it is a new friendship, in preparation for a visit, forgiveness for something stupid I said, looking over sermon texts a month in advance, or thanking God for this amazing opportunity. And in the midst of all of this, I have been reminded over and over of God's faithfulness in all situations. God is good all the time!
