I Turn To You...

Lately my life has been crazy! I have a "real" job that I have to be up by 7 am to get there at 8 am to begin work. I am interning at my church, The Orchard, and truly love it! I'm just not used to getting up that early in the morning. It has been at least 3 years since I've had to be up that early! At the Orchard this summer, we are hosting a summer school called SummerSALT to help kids improve their reading skills. They are the most precious children, and they make it worth getting up so early in the morning for. I see these precious, huge smiles on their faces and then they run up to me with the BIGGEST hugs and say that they are so happy to be here and they don't want to go home. That makes everything absolutely worth it! While working with SummerSALT I have learned how to make many spread sheets, learned that Google Documents is the best thing ever created, and I have gotten to work with some amazing teachers, and I have learned so much from them. Teaching is not as easy as I thought it was! Thank a teacher! Their job does not end when they leave school. 

This summer has also been a big learning experience. With this internship, me and the other nine interns are doing an intense Bible study once a week. We are focusing on the Old Testament and learning how many things works together that I have never noticed before. The Bible is absolutely coming alive to me today for the first time. I am so excited about everything I am learning, and I am thankful to Will Rambo for sharing his wisdom and taking the time to teach us and answer our questions. I love that my internship is not just about them getting all the work out of me they possibly can. They are investing in our lives and teaching us more about our amazing God! 

My life has also been confusing lately. I'm so confused about many things. I have random things going through my head that I can't figure out what to do. I have tried so hard to give everything over to God and know that those problems are in THE best hands possible. I have realized lately that I randomly starting singing a song by Selah called "I Turn To You."

When there's hardness in my heart
And I can't see the truth
And I'm wandering in the dark
I turn to you

And here in your Holy Presence
It's all that I can do
I turn to you Jesus
I turn to you Lord
What else can I do Jesus?
I turn to you

For the faith to move ahead
And to let go of the past
And to see me as you do
I turn to you

And here in your Holy Presence
It's all that I can do
I turn to you Jesus
I turn to you Lord
What else can I do Jesus?
I turn to you

Help me turn to you
Help me turn to you
Help me turn to you
I turn to you.

God is so amazing, and I am so thankful for the relationship that He wants to have with me. I have done absolutely nothing to deserve His love, but He wants a relationship with me. He loves me so much that He sent His SON to DIE for me.
