Everyday I feel so blessed to be a part of the Fenway DTP. All the things God is teaching me is blowing me away and it is amazing! I am glad that God has led each of us four to this project in His own way and that we have this time to build relations and work together toward a common goal. Our goal? To truly love this community and give up ourselves completely in order to serve God and the people here in Fenway. We want to show this community that Fenway Church is here and we care!
The most important lesson God has taught me since I have started this internship is to just give up. In order to serve God the way He wants me to I cannot hold on to the things I have and to give them up to God; to admit that there is absolutely nothing I can do myself without God. God wants the whole me, not just part of me, and He will take all my pieces and make me whole again. God told me that I have to give up on a daily basis, including lifting up all that burdens my heart (He will carry it for me).
God knows everything already- everything about you and me both. He knows the choices we will make, the sins in our life, the hardships we have endured and the mistakes we will make and have made; and none of those things effect His love for us- it remains perfect and unconditional. The words He gave me yesterday:
"Rejection will come. You may not see or hear results. For I am a God who sees and knows all. And through me you cannot fail. Do not be afraid, for I already knew how this moment would go."
So I hope that encourages others to have confidence in God instead of doubts in themselves. We should not be ashamed when things do not go the way we thought they would- God already knows that and was planning on it.
I cannot wait to see what other plans God has for us. I pray that He uses us as humble servants to carry out what ever plan He has for Fenway. Thanks for reading!
