my internship ended two days ago, along with my summer.
i think what has scared me the most is how easily i slipped back into my life in Phoenix. i didn't realize that i would have to manually apply everything i learned at camp to my life here. it makes sense, but i wasn't expecting that issue i guess.
so what DID i learn at camp, you ask? here's a taste of a few things:
- everyone fails. learn from it and move on.
- Jesus chooses my ministry, not me.
- leaning into discomfort is humbling.
- my personality has a significant place in the Kingdom.
- sometimes conversations need to happen even if i don't have the entire situation figured out in my head.
- prayer effects eternity.
- community is give-and-take.
- God gives me the desires of my heart as i learn how to want the same things He does.
- busyness is not purpose. purpose is not busyness.
- everything has a season.
- being a woman is difficult but not impossible. i will face the challenge.
the last one is slightly humorous but also pretty legitimate. ask me to elaborate in person and i shall. :)
so begins my life of classes, Student Staff, traveling, and the great unknown of God's will.
i shall begin such a life with BEDTIME. :)
sweetest of dreams to you.
