Hallelujah and Praise the Lord.
I have all the money pledged or in the bank to be completely financially supported for this year long internship program. Can I get an amen?
Tomorrow marks the end of our first month. Wow a month in and it feels like we have been together for so long which maybe adds a little sweetness to the mix. These people are gentle, loving, hilarious, interesting, unique, and like a box of chocolates. You just never know what we'll come up with.
We all look a little ghostly but here's our team!
Our first month has consisted of much irregularity as far as a schedule goes but that doesn't make it any less exciting. We've had a retreat, an ice cream social, some training, a few weekend adventures (every weekend), more training, inspiring worship and lovely fellowship.
These people (our group of twelve and all our neighbors) are making my life. They help me live in the present. I get to discover who I was made to be, by taking things one day at a time. When you can take a step back and catch your breath, you realize how beautiful life can be. Yes things are hard and there is always bad in the world. But if you can learn to trust Jesus you will see the beautiful things.
The lovely Andrew and Sarah Hartenstein.
I got to live at their house a few times.
Such blessings.

But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream.It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green.It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?
I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve.Jeremiah 17:7-10
