It's officially 6 DAYS until my internship starts! I still can't grasp it. I've been preparing for this internship since the fall of 2008 and spent a lot of my free time this past semester getting things together for it. And now it's almost here. I hardly feel ready for this. I've thought about what I'm suppose to accomplish and I tell God that there's NO WAY I can do that! research and map all the mentoring programs in Miami-Dade? build relationships with everyone? in 12 weeks? alone? no no no. I remind myself of Moses, which is hopeful...and scary. Moses made a junk-load of excuses, God still commanded Him to go, Moses was used to save God's people.
I'm making a junk-load of excuses, God's still commanding me to go. I don't know if I'll be successful (however you want to define success in this job), but I know the Lord will be with me. The following passage is one of my favorites. We used it every week during my camp job last summer.
"And Moses said to the people, "Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. The LORD will fight for you, and you have only to be silent."
Exodus 14: 13-14
Pray that I have courage to stand firm, eyes to see His salvation, and a quiet heart to trust in His might.
