A Time to Rest

Oh man, I had such a restful weekend, which was such a blessing when you consider the CRAZY past 3 weeks we've had. I slept in super late yesterday and just kind of relaxed until I went to some church stuff that night. Then I was up quite early this morning because I'm now in the media track for the next 2 months! So I got to operate an actual camera today, and they said I actually did a good job. Who knew? Haha!

God's given me SUCH favor here in the music department, and the creative arts pastor asked if I'd be a part of the gospel group he's putting together. I agreed, and another first-year intern from New York is also in it. (Her voice is beautiful!!) Thursday was our first rehearsal and it went really well. We just got to know each other and worked on a couple songs we'll be performing. Our first "performance" or whatever is Nov. 15, which is also the week I'm scheduled to sing so it should be good! If you're not doing anything, you should come down - it'll be fun. :-)

I've been talking to other interns and everyone is saying that our year/class is so different from last year's. Especially as far as musicians are concerned, they've never had a first-year class so talented. So many of us have already been on a Sunday worship team at one of the church's 6 campuses - so exciting! We're being utilized and leading right from the get-go.... which is so cool considering that I expected to not lead at all for the 9 months I'm going to be here. I was willing to give it up and go "undercover," if you will, and just learn and be kind of "faceless." But God had other plans, and He just keeps surprising me! And not just me, but other interns as well. We totally came to this internship willing to serve, learn, and grow, without ever stepping foot onto a stage. But God is so faithful, and He gives us the desires of our hearts when we delight in Him! It's exciting to see His plans unfold. :-)

Thanksgiving Break is the last week of November and it'll be so nice to go home, see family and friends and have homecooked meals! Haha!
