Day 2, and I can already see that God is going to stretch me and teach me much these next few weeks.
I made it here. My roommates & I didn't oversleep & miss the plane. The plane didn't crash. My luggage arrived in once piece. The E train wasn't running, and I had to brave the J train (which was a much longer trip) and lots of stairs with all of my luggage. I saved roughly $38 by doing this (taxi=$45, airtrain to subway= $7.25) It wasn't really frustrating though. It was more of a "welcome back", and it reflected the rest of the day...we dove right in. I arrived at the airport at 8:45AM, got to check-in at 11:30AM, got to my room at 12:40PM, got to staff meeting (lunch in hand) at 2PM. I was very happy to see my bed last night.
I have learned a lot more about what I'll be doing specifically while I'm here. The intern team (Brian, Tiffany, and myself) will be leading prayer for the project, and I will be assisting one of the staff women (Amy) with Special Event planning, along with discipling two women. I'm excited to see what God will do this summer. There's definitely a bit of nervousexcited mixed in with the happyexcited, but excited nonetheless....I like that word, nonetheless :)
Tomorrow the staff have a day off, but Tiffany, Brian, and I will be working putting together our plans for the first prayer event. I'm looking forward to working with them more tomorrow, both to get things done and to re-establish a relationship with them. I know them already, but working together will be slightly different. It's another form of collaboration, and I think it's going to be great.
Fact of the Day: We actually have a shower in our room :)
