Playing in someone else’s playground

So one of the things that I tried to communicate to my last internship, with I would say about 80% success, is that I was an INTERN. My job was not to implant myself within the church and to take on huge projects that would then get left by the wayside when I left. The more I start to get into my new internship the more important I realize this issue is.

So in essence I currently have 3 months to prepare the church’s deacons for ministry, build them up so they can function, and then instill in them a sense of ownership so that they fall to pieces when I leave. Wait check that … 2 months, I’ve already been here 2 weeks.

Either way it will be a fun, if not insane, ride in Paso.

In other news God is teaching me about obedience and listening to him. Most of my mental flow got sideswiped by this. He is teaching with the Big Hammer. More to come later ... maybe ...
