So I've made it to DC!  I'm excited to see what I'll be doing this summer and all the experiences I will have, yet I'm still nervous at all that is going to happen.  I got a tour of the office and some of DC today so that was nice, and I enjoyed it.  The house and people I will be living with our wonderful, Jesus blesses me so much.

Some things I have been learning:
1) I have no control in this world whatsoever --me and Jesus have actually been arguing about this the past few days as I tried to hold on to the last little bitty ounce of control I thought I had, but He won and I gave in giving Him all control of my life, but that doesn't mean I'm going to have to work on giving Him the control
2) that the world isn't about me--that its about our God and all of His glory, tricia can do nothing to save the world, only God can
3) surrender is good--that I shouldn't try to do anything on my own, that I should give it all to Jesus
