I'm discipling 4 beautiful girls! Lisa, Ashley, Marie, and Kelsey. (I'm in the white, the rest of them are in order from left to right by how I just named them)
They are all so sweet and I love them all a whole lot. It's hard to think that I'm going to be leaving them in 5 DAYS! It's been a journey, but it's been great to get to know them and grow closer to God with them. God has been blessing our summer beyond belief! They have all grown so much and it's been such an incredible experience to see them be shaped this summer.
In other news, it's been a really hard summer. Every day God seems to dish something new at me. He's been so gracious every day with it though. Even though it's hard, He's blessed me with such a great community in my staff team. They have literally become my family in this past month. They have been there with me through all of the spiritual warfare and tough situations. We have worked through them together as a team and have been lifting each other up since the day we got here. That's going to be the hardest part about leaving project- leaving my staff team.
^ Up there is most of the intern team and a few of our full time staffers at hollywood studios on one of our days off. ^
I feel like God gave me best friends for 6 weeks and then is dispersing us all across the country again. It's not fair, but I'm so excited to hear about how they are serving back at their campuses in the fall. Plus, we all have to come back to Disney for a reunion right? No sad faces here.
^Up there is our entire intern team with our two project directors the day we all went indoor surfing before the students got here. Our first look at what surfing every day looks like. Plus, it was a great team building exercise. ^
Other than the staff team, the students here are phenomenal too. We just picked the students who are going to be taking over leadership when we leave and I couldn't be happier with who God placed on our hearts. These men and women are going to be challenged so much these next 5 weeks, but that is going to be so cool to witness. I'm going to be staying in Orlando all summer working at Disney alongside of them. I won't be leading this project anymore, but I will still be able to witness the work that is going on through this project. God is doing some majorly crazy things.
He's leading us to broken people who are teaching us so much about life and what it means to be completely broken, He's raising up new Christians every day, He's helping us love other people and serve them in the best way we can, but most importantly- He's moving in everyone's hearts here.
This has possibly been one of the most encouraging, rough, hard, tough, difficult summers I've ever experienced. From hearing stories of people being led to Christ to having interventions, this summer has been a roller coaster. I wouldn't have it any other way though.
I've seen God do the impossible this summer. I'd love to tell you more about it.
I like the comparison between your post "it's only been two days?!" and then this one, "less than a week left on project?!"
