A lot has happened since the last time I posted. I have gone through surgery and came out wonderfully on the other side. The pathology came back all clear so I am officially cancer free! I have finished school and came out with a 3.7! Which means I made an A in calculus. Yes, this math challenged lady made an A!! With a lot of help from a lot of people. Shout out to my awesome boyfriend/tutor. He's already gearing up for physics next semester!
I am completely on track to graduate! I have all of my classes ready to go and I only have EIGHT CLASSES LEFT! I can see the light y'all! I am ready to graduate already to be done with classes but in no way am I ready to be out of college.
The first week of the internship is almost over and what a whirlwind it has already been up here. It's a bit different working with a church the size of Johnson Ferry compared to Jesup First Baptist. One thing I did notice is that EVERYONE is so welcoming. It's almost like being in a small town because everyone is waving at you as they pass. They don't even know you, but they're smiling and waving. Yesterday the other intern's and myself went around the church to meet the staff and just get a feel for navigating around the church. Needless to say, I was more than lost by the time the tour was over.
Last night was a moment of bonding for the ministers and the interns. All of us were sitting around trying to sing the "Cups (When I'm Gone)" song while playing the cup game and we were failing miserably. We were all dressed in our BRIGHT YELLOW shirts advertising VBS and placation. Amazingly enough, we are going to do both events in one week. Talk about putting the interns to the test.
Everything has been wonderful so far, but I'm definitely on a learning curve. This blog is more for a prayer request than stories. Please pray that I will be able to not only hang on, but exceed expectations. There is a lot to get done and I feel behind. Pray that the team continues to gel and get along so well like we are now. Pray for the children we will be serving this summer. You will be reading my encounters with them as I go throughout the summer but those little babies need prayer.
Live Today.
