Internship is officially over! While I am excited that for the moment I have no more dorm living or kitchen crew or study nights, I am going to miss many aspects of the program I have been in for these past 10 months. I have learned so much about myself and been stretched and grown. As you can see from the photo, I haven’t grown so much in height, but I am excited to know that I have grown in my walk with the Lord and am only going to continue to do so. There is no ending age for that. : )
I am excited to be an official missionary now, though I will admit that I’m a little nervous. This morning at my first staff meeting as a missionary and without my fellow ex-interns, I felt like a kid on her first day of school. I know that now the responsibility is heavier. I can no longer just glide by only doing what I am told. I now have to think for myself. Part of me wished I had remained forever young like Peter Pan. 6 would be a good age, I should think.
So, now I am venturing into new territory. The good news is that as long as I continue to follow the Lord, He will never leave me so I am taking this new journey just following in His footsteps. I am looking forward to seeing what He does over the next two months.
Keep walking my dear..its just a new chapter..the story is still the same!
I needed to read this. Thank you, Bethany!
Congradulations! You have made it through “BOOT CAMP” , now you’re ready for wartime at the frontlines..You never go alone, You are in HIM!!! You embody Jesus, He’s big in your heart, soul, mind and body, not by feelings, but by trusting and obeying! Check out Psalm 23 after what you have been through, it will make more sense, enjoy Him as your LORD and Shepherd!
then , read John 10, now you’re His disciple, student for life til we all get on the other side of this life in eternity! I am proud of all you have accomplished in Him, you bring Him glory and honor!!! It’s a privilege to be your frind and fellow partner in HIM! Your ‘s in Him, Pete
