Days 1-3 – 6/3/09

So, on my third day of the internship…

First day just got settled, started working on Deeper, met with JJ, Lindsee, and Greg Despres to talk about a missions conference hopefully occuring next spring, and went to the dollar store and Big Lots and got a bunch of stuff and covered Lindsee’s desk with junk- confetti, pirate stuff, huge screwdrivers, hula girl, tiara, TEMPT tanning lotion, a Baby Shower banner, a scale, jump ropes, and a picture of Bob from The Biggest Loser with a speech bubble- “Happy Birthday Lindsee! I think you’re the biggest… winner! Look at my abs, but don’t stumble!” That evening my family got back from Canada- nice to see them!

Second day got to see Lindsee’s reaction at her decorate desk! Was fun. Met with Northwest Houston’s network of youth pastors at Skeeters with the Student Ministries staff- JJ led the meeting, Greg spoke about the missions conference idea, another guy, Darin, spoke about an evangelism event that we could maybe do in the fall. Met a few youth ministry people- even saw Bryan Jackson! Came back and worked on Deeper stuff and went home to have dinner with the fam- Good day!

Third day- off to a meeting!

Almost There- 5/8/09

Almost there

Almost where I’m supposed to be
It’s not all clear, but you keep showing me,
With every step, the more my heart moves to Your beat
And just like where I’m headed, there’s joy in the journey

So, school’s almost out. Sophomore year’s almost over.
So much stuff is ending, yet so much is beginning.

This summer is gonna be hard.
1st summer away from camp.
Interning at church.
Getting work done.
Fulfilling my calling.

I’ve felt this calling to this place, and yet I don’t know what exactly it’s gonna be.
I’ve had to struggle, both with hindrances and unsurity of whether this place is right and with letting go and the pride of leaving the old place for a summer.

But God is bringing me to Cypress for the summer for a purpose. Many purposes.
All I can do is do my best and pursue Him along the way.

I have many hopes for the summer, many desires, but let them be solely for You, God.

“Almost There” by Mercy Me
Almost there,
Almost where I’m supposed to be
It’s not all clear, but you keep showing me,
With every step, the more my heart moves to Your beat
And just like where I’m headed, there’s joy in the journey
Teach me to think like you think
Show me the things that are true
Finish the work you have started in me
As I’m on my way to you
As I’m on my way to you
Create in me a pure heart and make me new
Less of me, Jesus more of you
Here I stand, Still I’m drawn down to my knees
It’s not my strength, but yours that carries me
Teach me to think like you think
Show me the things that are true
Finish the work you have started in me
As I’m on my way to you
As I’m on my way to you
I’m on my way to you…
