I am constantly reminded that God is putting to use all that I have learned thus far in life and will continue to teach me more for what's upcoming in life. I just hope I can absorb all that is being taught to me and not lose any of it!
Having a conversation with a close friend, Vicky, she spoke some wise words into my life that I feel like anyone could hold onto. "It is as if God himself is holding onto all the different strands of our life in his hands, working them together into his plan, letting nothing get wasted. Even though we may think some things are (or were) pointless, He is intertwining them all in our lives and making something more amazing than we could ever imagine!" (Not word-for-word quotation.)
And yesterday's service at Fenway Church was a real practical encouragement. (Thanks David!) I am working another job on Wentworth (aka WIT) campus in the Community Learning and Partnerships (aka CLP) office as the New Students Civic Engagement (aka NSCEP) program coordinator and wasn't sure how it would be to go from full focus on discipling to having to give my attention also to this position. But David's message about bringing Jesus to the work place and trying our best to follow Him there to really sat well with me. God likes work and gave it to us, so I should love it!
I have been working there (CLP at WIT) already for a year during the academic year anyhow and had a lot of awesome training in the non-profit/professional/office/etc field in my position which has served me well while I am doing my internship and working with other nonprofit community partners, and also my knowledge is increasing working in these new places. I love it! I wonder what (in the long run) God is preparing me for!
