About Me

1 Corinthians 13:13 Three things will last forever-faith, hope, and love-and the greatest of these is love.

Joy trumps dread

Whew things have changed drastically over the past week! I started my new internship and I moved into a house! Granted that doesn't sound like DRASTIC changes, but they totally are! My internship is stressful and so is moving! However, my wonderful parents helped me move and I'm all settled now! WOOHOO!

Today during church, I was super bummed because it was Sunday and that means that I have to go to work tomorrow. I have been dreading it since the second day. I believe this is due to the fact I am uncomfortable working with the adult/geriatric population. I know it will get better with time and exprience...but still I DREAD it. So I was standing there doing a "worship wrestle" (e.g. fighting the bad attitude with work and trying to worship) and I decided I desperately NEED an attitude makeover. I was like Alyssa pull it together and get your strength from God...HELLOOO He's totally amazing and His love NEVER fails! I prayed about my circumstance and I will be joyful during this situation! BAM! take that bad attitude!

Then Bruce starts speaking about circumstances and how in Philippians 1:12-20 Paul made gains in christianity (e.g. impacted prison guards and the church) even when he was in prison. I was like WHOA GOD that is STELLAR that Bruce spoke about good/bad circumstances after my worship wrestle experience. God continually shows me how much He cares and knows about little ole me! So basically to wrap this over due blog up: to work through these circumstances we need to pray and allow the Holy Spirit to work! So internship...I'm lifting you up and everything is gonna be FABULOUS!

Note to self:
-be totally open and joyful about my internship.
-Soak up how awesome God is at showing me how He loves me!
-unpack the last 2 boxes---which are currently taunting me.
-buy black spray paint.
