the Lord sustains:
two days ago i completed my internship
my last day at internship was warm and rainy and full and fun and melancholy
on the last day i had to finish up my task of updating the massive resource folder; i had one more 24page list to update it took me 4 1/2 hours and was 28pages long when i finished at 3:30pm (a half hour before i left).
when i got off at 4pm i went straight downtown to live it up for a bit
just kidding
i babysat from 5pm-11pm then went home and ate dinner
and so my internship has wrapped up.
yesterday:
i had my phone interview with Mental Health America's Jump Start Fellowship Program i had done a lot of prep work for the interview i asked one of my internship supervisors for advice (twice...i asked her for advice, twice) jorgen and i ran through mock interviews attempting to prepare me for potential question i might be asked however nothing could have prepared for the questions i received
but i did my best and i have no regrets i know that i was not interviewing alone; God was there with me and when i felt like one of my answers had blown the whole interview... it somehow always came through all right
in between interview prep, a nap, eating, exercising, and cleaning, i applied for two jobs
the Lord provides rest:
today: and now is day two of post-internship i put my laundry in the dryer and ate breakfast
and realized i had nothing to do so i stayed in my leggings and tank top i refuse to do my hair and decided i am going to drink a whole pot of coffee not because i need to but because i want to
i am sure the initial novelty of my recent retirement will wear off; but this is the first time i have had no pressing responsibilities or something due since march
the Lord is gracious:
i have endless opportunities in front of me i am thankful for this degree i am thankful my internship has prepared me to enter into the field i want to pursue i am thankful i have this time of rest i am thankful that today was cool and sunny and i could sit outside and write
the end of my internship put a period on the sentence of my summer, or so i thought
suddenly (well it took me a day to figure out) i realized there were no more periods
i would just keep going from here
and i could do whatever i want
because
the Lord: sustains, provides, is gracious
i am grateful for the pause though
it's not a period
