Where in the world is Carmen San Diego?

So, I thought before I started posting different things on here, I would start by first explaining where I am right now...

Right now I'm currently an intern with Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ) at MSU. I absolutely love it. You might be wondering, what does being an intern entail? Well, I can try to explain that to you :)

First of all let me start by saying that I think it's absolutely incredible that my job is to tell people about Jesus. I am able to share with them this treasure and hope that I have.

At Michigan State specifically, there are about 50,000 students enrolled at the University. There are about 20 of us on our staff team, and a lot of us are split up into different parts of the campus, where we get the opportunity to get to know the students, forming relationships, and following up with students who have shown interest in what it means to have a relationship with Jesus. (This is such a general description...)

I get the privilege of leading two bible studies in two different areas of campus, as well as participating in discipleship with different students as well. I also get to help oversee the worship ministry (as well as getting to play the piano in one of the bands too) :)

I have loved getting the opportunity to be a part of what is going on here at Michigan State this year. After finishing support raising and reporting here at the beginning of September, I began to see just a glimpse of what this year was going to look like. So far it has been quite an adventure, and I've learned a lot - one of the biggest things I've learned is to rely a lot on the Lord. And, I'm learning that I cannot do anything apart from Him.

This has been one of the greatest things God continues to teach me as I go throughout my life here, and continue to learn how to transition from not being a college student anymore, but being a "real" adult... whatever that means. I'm seeing that if I don't sit at His feet each day, then I literally cannot make it throughout my day, because it is impossible to string myself along.

I'm excited for what Jesus is going to continue to teach me, and for the things He's going to do here. But for now, I really should probably get to bed. Until next time...

Beginning

So I decided to start a blog. I think I'm self-conscious and I've been apprehensive to start one because I'm afraid I won't be good at it, or a frequent blogger and eloquent in the way that I write. But I changed my mind for a couple of reasons... one being, I love to write, and I do a better job of expressing myself through writing. I also think it's a great way to keep in touch with so many people that I love.

Secondly, there is so much that has been happening here already in just the four short months that I've been living in Lansing and interning at MSU, so I would love to share as much as I can. Usually I think of things in the moment that I would like to share with people, and then the next second, I forget what I wanted to say! I think this blog will hopefully do a good job of helping me keep up :)

Well, I need to run. But until next time, love to you all.
