Deciding to intern was probably one of the best things I did.
I feel like with interning I was able to take my potential and run with it.
It gave me a place to express myself,
grow in my faith and walk,
learn about God,
make lasting friendships,
and grow my family.
I spent four+ hours a day, three days a week, for nine weeks with eleven of the most amazing people.
What I love about us?
We have a bond that will join us together forever.
We will always be there, good times or bad.
We care about the others and how their walk is going.
We help keep each other strong.
We refuse to be stumbling blocks.
We are the interns of 2011.
I walked away from this experience with much more than I ever imagined I would.
I walked away stronger in my faith,
with a better understanding of who I am through Christ,
with a hunger to grow,
knowing what my calling and passions are,
and most of all with some of the closest friends I will ever have.
Pastor Cory gave us the title "Overcome"
We overcame personal struggles,
temptations,
difference of opinions,
emotions,
heartache,
and countless other barriers,
But most of all we ovecame the hardship of saying goodbye to a man we had just spent nine weeks with. To a mentor and friend, who spent countless hours pouring into us and guiding us over the years. Who saw inside each of us the man, or woman, Christ has envisioned us to be. A man who helped us realise our faith. That man is Pastor Cory Henderson.
I just wanted to thank him for all he did. For giving me the opportunity to intern and overcome.
Now, I'm not saying we are done overcoming.
Everyday we will have to overcome something.
Whether it be overcoming a fear of stepping out and speaking up about God,
or taking the chance to reach out and help someone hurting.
No matter what we face in our everyday lives,
we have two choices
Overcome it
or let it overcome you.
What do you choose?
