The Next Step

Well, that's it! I'm officially done with my Junior year at Covenant College! It's been a very difficult semester considering most of my classes were upper division and for my major. US Urban Poverty, International Microenterprise Development and Cross-Cultural Social Science Research Methods were my most difficult, but were also the one's I cared the most about.

So, now it's on to my internship! it's so hard to believe! I'm still $300 short, but I know that the Lord will provide, as He always does. Friday evening, the Community Development department had a "Send-Off" event. Our 4 professors, 2 of the Chalmers Center staff, a senior in the major along with the 12 Junior interns came together to share about our internships and prayer requests and spend time in prayer for each other. The most powerful during the during the send off was hearing everyone's prayer requests and seeing how many people nodded along in agreement or asked to add that to their list, too. Even though I will be in ii with no one I know, I don't think I'll be lonely. There's something about knowing that there's 11 other people with the same knowledge you have freaking out about messing up on their research or doing something that's more harm than help. Knowing that they're going to share similar emotions and experiences that I will and knowing that they're praying for me as I am them just brings the most miraculous peace.

To my fellow interns: May God bless your hands and feet as you seek to serve Him using the education He blessed us with and may you do EVERYTHING for his glory. (and if you survived 460, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to handle your internships ;)
