grace, love and the metro.

Things here in Virginia have been going wonderful.  I can honestly say that I am well adjusted and am enjoying my internship (I have been for a while, this is just a late message).  This past week has flown by I can't believe I only have one and a half weeks left here.

The metro is probably the place where I have done the most thinking this summer.  The place where I have realized how stinking blessed I am.  I have a place to live, food to eat, clothes to wear, friends and family that love me to pieces and a God that offers me never ending grace.  Coming here has made me realize how much support I have back home; I have wonderful friends, families and neighbors.  If I would have stayed at home for my practicum credit this summer I would have never realized how much I am loved.  While also being here, I've seen how awesome Jesus really is and how much love and grace He has poured onto my life.  A love so great that shouldn't be kept all to myself, but one that should be shared.  Shared in the states and across the world; like Thailand.  Which I'm excited about, super excited, but I'm trying to focus on finishing up my internship first.

Along with blessings, I've realized how broken and powerless I really am.  That I was worthless, yet God still gave up His son for me.  Seeing how powerless I am this summer, helped me see how powerful my Jesus really is and how wonderful it is that He is able to work through me if I allow Him.  Oh man, it overwhelms me how awesome Jesus is, while at the same time makes my heart smile.
