Philippians 4:4

So let's be real, maybe I'm putting off my annotated bibliography. Welp. I've got good news.

I HAVE A SUMMER JOB NOW!!!!!!!

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again, Rejoice!" (Philippians 4:4)

After all of my stress from figuring out what to do this summer, my prayers have finally been answered. I'm so happy to say that I'll be an intern at Alpine Church of Christ in Longview, TX. Especially after the whole camp sadness(and we all know how that went down), I've been on a mission to discover what God wanted me to do instead. Obviously I wasn't supposed to be back at camp, so finding where he wanted me to be, well, drove me banana sandwich. It also really worried me, because well, I want to work with music and theater with my life. (Duh, we all know this.) So is working in ministry this summer really something I'm meant to do? But (praise God for him) Nick Tatum is so awesome. Let's be real, we all know this. But. God put words in him, you have no idea, and after having someone put things in perspective for me, the decision was made.

Here's what my summer will consist of:

• Loving on kids
• Opportunities to start praise teams in the youth group
• A heck of a lot of spiritual growth, who KNOWS how I'll be challenged
• POSSIBILITY OF GOING ON TREK!!!!
• Mission work
• Fellowship

Why aren't I rejoicing even more? Now I can officially say I'm EXCITED and JOYFUL about my summer. (Maybe that's a little unfamiliar for me.)

Rejoice in the Lord. Rejoice.
