A little over a week away from day one of the internship and I’m still worried sick about finding a place to stay closer to the office, because I hate the idea of driving an hour to and from work, in heavy traffic four to five days a week. Some may say that I’m a wimp but honestly I don’t care. I know that I could handle it if I had to but I would also be a lot more stressed which is NOT a good thing.
Anyhow, I’ve been doing my best not to worry about all the details coming together because I know that God led me into this and. He will provide but it’s hard to stay objective at times. So a few days ago I bugged my mom into talking to some friends of our down near the CEF office to see if they could find someone else I could stay with for the first three weeks. This family has already agreed to let me stay with them for the remaining weeks of the summer but due to a small conflict of interest I am unable to stay with them for the first three weeks. Since they know people in the area this family graciously offered to ask around for other places to stay if I wanted them to. So we asked and they asked and God answered! And I’m happy to report to you that I will, by God’s grace, be staying with a friend of a friend of a friend! My hosts are a wonderful, godly, older couple who live six minutes from the office.
I am so in awe of how God provides and turns my worries and fears on their heads and makes them blessings instead. God has been so good to me in this whole process and has provided me a car, two places to stay and above all else peace! Though I still do not know how or when. He will provide the money I need for this summer I know He will provide above and beyond because He always does. To God alone be the glory both now and forever, amen!
