I apologize for lack of updates. Life in the internship spins so fast that by the time I sit down to write I wonder what happened to begin with.

I have one week left to the internship and I feel like I'm running through a million emotions all at the same time. I'm excited to start "real life" again but, nervous if I can manage out there. I'm transitioning to life out here but at the same time wondering why this is the next step. The lesson I've been learning predominantly is that God is a perfect leader and that I can trust Him.
Matthew 6 says if I seek first the kingdom of God all other things [clothes, money, food] will be given to me. What a true statement (see last update)! I have an interview tomorrow at the Christian birthing center. I am so excited. I did nothing to find this place--the job was given to me as I sat in the prayer room seeking the Lord. The sermon on the mount precedes the seeking of the kingdom verse.If we recognize our need for God, live humbly before Him, and seek the righteousness only He can give He will richly reward us, in this age and in the age to come. As I sought the sermon on the mount, even in the small measure that I think I actually attained, God blessed me with what I could not have found on my own.
And the motivation for living the sermon on the mount has not been looking for God to bless me in this lifetime. As of recent I have been thinking more and more about rewards in the kingdom of Heaven. In the next couple of days hopefully I can write an update about the Heavenly Jerusalem but for now this is the verse I woke up saying,
Psalm 126: "When the Lord brought the captives back to Zion, we were like men who dreamed."
Dream of the day we go back to Zion, our heavenly home. It makes the sermon on the mount lifestyle worth it.
