Some of my thoughts today

This morning us interns had a meeting. We are getting into the time after the honeymoon and are getting on each other’s nerves. It happens with every team. I remember last year when the honeymoon ended. Not a good sight. But this all means that the Lord now has a chance to work in us and thru us, to change each of us and teach us. I know that I can be stubborn and unbending at times (I am a redhead.). But I also know the Lord has lots to teach me and show me this year. I am scared to have him start but at the same time excited to see what becomes of me after all the teaching and molding. This morning was one of those meetings that I use to dread. The “be honest and real tell people how you feel type” meeting. Well I find that I am more and more not caring how I look and sound. I use to have the thinking that I am the strong one that I have to keep myself together in order to keep everyone else together but not anymore. I am realizing more and more the more I am real and honest the more people can see my heart and understand me. I cant expect people to understand and get to know me if I don’t give them a chance. I really think that the meeting this morning will help our team but we need to continue to think about each other and love them as Christ does. We need to put our teammates first and serve them before ourselves even if that is the hardest thing that we can do. I know how powerful a good community can be and I want others to experience the life changing power of a good community.

Lord please help our team to live in unity, love, acceptance, and understanding of each other. I know that you have brought specifically the six of us together for a reason, help us to know that and grow in that. I thank you that you have given me 5 new brothers and sisters to laugh, work and cry with. Help us make this year an unforgettable one.
