All Things Considered

Is it really September? When I consider this past year, I find that I love this job. The most rewarding part of being an intern is seeing how God is at work through the ministry in the lives of the students. The students I met in the fall are not the same students that left school at the end of the spring. They have grown spiritually and emotionally, as well as mentally and physically. It's like watching a tree grow. It's slow and may not even be noticeable from day to day, but after some time, you can certainly see the difference.

As I enter the second year of my internship with RUF, I must begin to consider what my future might look like. Typically, the internship last for two years. Most people take what they have learned from the ministry and begin the next phase of life after college. Some go to seminary. Some go to graduate school. Some get a job. And a few stay and join staff with RUF. Given the opportunity, I would gladly stay for a third year or more. It is a testament to God's faithfulness that I am still here. My RUF account was due to enter into deficit in May. But every month since then, the Lord has provided and continues to provide despite my inconsistencies. How humbling!

The first weeks of being back on campus have been glorious and I simply cannot wait to see and be a part of what God will do at Kennesaw State University this semester.
