so, it's been almost a year since i've posted on this thing. and honestly, i don't really know why i'm starting now. i don't actually think anyone will read this... kind of hope no one really does. but, anyways- here's what is going on.
i'm in Big Sky country aka: Kalispell, Montana for the summer. and, man, is it be-autiful. so, beautiful. I love walking outside and being completely surrounded by snow-topped mountains. I pray I never get used to seeing such beauty. this summer i'm serving as the high school youth intern at Easthaven Baptist Church and living with my aunt and uncle (who is the pastor of the church) and two ridiculously sweet cousins as well as fellow intern slash cousin, Kara. There are five of us interns for the summer.... D.J (college intern), Kara and Alexz (children's intern), and Sami (high school intern).
i've been here for 2 weeks and a day... and, man has the time flown by. the first two weeks have been full of meeting people, orientation, church, graduations, and more meeting people. it's been great. everyone has been so welcoming and i'm so grateful for their hospitality. "my" youth are incredible. there are between 40-60 of them so i definitely do not know them all well, but the ones i've gotten the chance to really meet and hang out with are amazing and i'm so excited to live life with them this summer.
i praise God for this opportunity to love on people the love of jesus christ. i pray that i would be selfless in motivation, that i would literally make the most of every single second that i'm here, and that i would be intentional with every conversation i have.
my dad sent me this quote and it hasn't left my mind since reading it....
"be intensely spiritual, but perfectly natural."
quite the challenge. hope i'm up for it.
love to whoever is out there reading this thing.
