Merp.

I always think of really good blog ideas with really clever titles...but then I actually sit down to the computer to write and nothing comes out.
It's quite frustrating! So without any quirky title or interesting hooks i will just tell you that I have been so ridiculously busy these past couple weeks. Internship has been a whirlwind, especially since it is the summer conference season which is absolutely busy. I am overseeing a dining room, which means working every meal every day, plus turn around on Saturday. It's a lot of hours; but honestly...I love it! It's like working a real job again and I've actually missed that very much. I also have quite a lovely, hardworking crew with me. I'm still learning how to balance friendship and authority, but God is gracious with me in these things.

The AFVL students are here for 6 weeks learning the bible in block classes and going on outreaches every week. It's been special to get to know these kids as well. Well, I shouldn't say kids...some of them are actually older than me! I don't get to see them too often since I'm not an AVFL intern, but I am a "dorm mom" to about 10 of them and I get to hang out from time to time. I really am honored to get to pour into them when I get a chance. They are so sweet and open to what the Lord wants to do with their lives. Some of them may even come back for the semester, and then I will really get to spend time with them. The picture below is from the girl's bible study at Kim's on Monday.
This Sunday I get to see my friends from Califonia, from my home church, in Budapest because they happen to be in Hungary for a missions trip! It's going to be so weird for my two worlds to collide in such a way but I'm so excited!! It'll be great to see them and they are blessing me as well by bringing me some clothes and stuff I left behind. So that will be a treat!

Personally, God has been speaking to me about 'holding fast to Him and to wait on Him in many specific things that aren't fit for social media. He's really given me quite a peace that surpasses all understanding. Today I read Psalm 39:11 and it so spoke to me: “And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in You."
I wait on the Lord. I don't wait for anyone or anything else. My hope is in Him alone!

And I have no idea what the future holds. All I know is that I'm here for another year and God is going to do much! And I know that after that I want to live a life totally for Him, forever getting to know Him more and serve Him :)
