Wow, I can't believe how quickly time is flying by this summer. I am already beginning my 4th week of this internship and that means I am almost half way! I feel very good about what I've learned and the experiences I've already had in my time here. So far, this summer has been very refreshing. The other interns here at Calvary started last week, but they are on a mission trip this weeki, so it is just me again with all the staffers. In some ways I'm kind of glad because, while I am beginning to find my place with the staff, I'm not yet sure where I belong and what my role is with these other, younger, interns.
We have some exciting things coming up at Calvary that I am just beginning to prepare for. In about three weeks I'm going on a mission trip to New York, for which I am both nervous and excited since I've never been there before and I don't know any of the people going on the trip. Calvary is also beginning preparations for their big Vacation Bible school that they do every summer. This wont take place until my last week here, but there are already starting to get ready for it.
I'm still working on those spiritual disciplines. I wish I had someone to kind of push me and walk with me through this. I miss some of the conversations I used to have with my fellow Worship Apprentices. There was something so beautiful about having a group of college students, all about the same age, in about the same place spiritually, to talk to. It just seems like many of the adults here just can't relate to me on that level. I also miss our weekly meetings and conversations with the other Jubilee fellows. There was a depth there that I think is very rare. But I am grateful for the time I did have and the conversations I did get to be part of. I just want to find ways and people to help me continue to grow.
