Well, we started our official internship this week and it looks like it's going to rock! We have awesome leaders and gifted teachers and lots of time set aside for prayer and seeking God.
I have to admit, I signed up for this internship a little hesitantly- as 24 hours a week in the prayer room seems like quite a bit of prayer time to me! I wasn't sure I was up for the intensity of that or for the hours of teaching and processing new information. But, as of day 3 at least, I have to say I think this is going to be good for my heart. I can already tell that I am more open to the Lord teaching me and changing me and taking those things from me that are getting in His way. I think it's going to be difficult in the sense that He's tearing down the things I've leaned on and the things I've become comfortable in. But I know that He is going to build me up again stronger in Him and more fully dependent on Him. I don't know how to quite put what I'm trying to say into words. Hmmm. Maybe I'll just leave you with a psalm. I feel like this verse sums up where I want to be and how I am hoping God will use this internship!
Psalm 62: 5-8
Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will not be shaken.
My victory and honor come from God alone.
He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.
O my people, trust in him at all times.
Pour out your heart to him,
for God is our refuge.
Thanks for "listening" ~Kara
