It’s officially my last “off day” before my internship is over. I knew 2 months ago that my time here would fly by, and honestly I didn’t think it would be this fast. I am in complete disbelief that this Sunday will be my last Sunday. I also only have one more DEEP to attend. This internship has taught me a lot of things; things about myself, things about ministry, things about working with pastors and congregations, things about working with teenagers, things about time management, things about emotions, things about friendships, and the list could go on and on. I think a lot of people would go through an internship constantly worried about not getting anything out of it. Thankfully, I don’t have to dwell on that. During the school year when I was prepping my mind to be here I was somewhat excited about graduating and going off to work in ministry full time. After my time here at Ocean City I’ve realized that I don’t even want to go back to Valley Forge in the fall. Obviously I need to because I need to graduate, but all I can say is that I’m ready to be out in the world. I’m excited to do what I feel I was created to do. Dreams of having a full time paying job, getting a house, and being an “adult” have plagued my mind for the better part of the summer. I’m ready to go. I know that in the semester that I have left at Valley Forge I’ll be able to tie up some loose ends in my life; talk to some professors, hang out with friends, and finally get my degree. It’s a very exciting time in my life to say the least, and I can’t wait until it comes full circle. With one week to go I get to attend one more prayer service, one more Sunday morning service, and one more DEEP. It’s going to be a great time with my friends and mentors here. We’ll have to see to what benefit my time here has been once I graduate, but I already know that it’s benefited me in my life now.
6 days to go...
