Catching Up!

So much has happened since I last penned something on this blog. For starters, I interned at an amazing church this summer and learned just how amazing and how selfless ministry can be. The internship itself was more of a last ditch effort at staying away from a dead end summer job. I never thought I would actually get the internship... but I did! What I did not realize was just how much I would be shaped by that experience. The 10 short weeks had a lasting impact on me. I had the privilege of learning under the amazing leadership at the Vineyard. I learned about trust, not only trusting in God to fulfill my needs, but in how to trust strangers with my life and my secrets.  I learned how to trust in God by praying and believing that he would provide for my needs. As far as trusting in strangers, well those strangers are now like a second family to me and I miss them terribly.

My intern family is great!

Another development since my last installment is that I am now a Senior in college, and before you ask, I have no clue what I am doing after I graduate. I have many things that I hope will happen, but nothing is set in stone at this point. It is funny that It took me until my final year of college to realize that it's not all bad. I'm in an environment that learning is not only allowed but encouraged and expected. I'm thankful for the time I've had here and the people I have had the privilege of knowing.

One final thing, which has two parts to it, is this: for those who don't know, I have been writing spoken word for roughly a year now. I recently had the privilege to film one of my spoken word pieces. It has not had a chance to be edited yet but I am excited to get my hands on it once it is all finished. Another thing is that I entered a contest. The contest required a 20-30 page manuscript of original spoken word. It is still in the process of being judged, but for those who don't know me, allowing this part of me to be seen is a big step for me!

That's all I have for now...
Be brave and Remember!
He has made you beautiful!
