Half Way Suckers!

The beginning of this week marked the halfway point for my internship. Woah dang!  It went faster than what I thought.  I remember the first week thinking, what did I get myself into, this is going to take forever and a day.
Yet I'm half way through thinking I survived and there is little time left. Ha sometimes I am a drama queen.

Being half way through this journey God has blessed me with (yes blessed), I can't help but be thankful for what Jesus has done for this poor soul.  I'm not going to lie the first couple weeks were slightly miserable (remember dramatic).  Jesus was stretching me and I was being a complete grumpy pants with Him.  However, that stretching process was what I needed.  I needed to be thrown out in the deep end and have absolutely no control, to where all I could do was hold on to Jesus and trust Him with my life. With the stretch I was able to learn and see that I actually have no control what so ever, that I am completely powerless; that I just need to trust Him and everything will be ok.  Granted I haven't mastered this and will have to work on it my entire life, and God's wonderful sense of humor will always reminds me of that.  I've also learned that I'm going to have to make a conscious choice every day to turn and follow Jesus.  My whole life is going to be a stretching process.  It might not be the most enjoy thing, but will be the most beneficial.

Along with being halfway, leadership roles of Wycliffe staff are passed down to the interns.  So my leadership position is for being the leader of the leadership development team.  The leadership development team has to conduct a Thursday class to help the interns become leaders. So part of my task is making sure the class goes good and everything gets done; fun times for me.  It's really not that bad, I just need to get off my lazy butt and do it.
