June 27, 2011 - Day 43

     Today we went to Retreat around 2 after stopping by Starbucks to get the pastries. We walked in and I saw everyone and went to the back to talk to Mike and Six. Lauren and I were there and they were telling us how they want to make a small business for the spoon rings that Six makes. I thought that was a pretty cool idea! Mike was really excited and told us the different processes that they would have to go through to actually be able to make it a business- so please keep them in your prayers! 
     Then Gary began wrapping everything up so little by little everyone was walking out the door. However, Julius and another fellow were getting in an argument and it was escalating fast. For one of the first times it really bothered me- that Julius was having an argument not only inside a church but after he was apologizing for what he did wrong, even though we was still continuing the fight. I tried calming them down and the guy left but Julius was still a bit upset. I don't know.. but that just really bothered me. I need patience in that section I guess... 
     After that bit of drama we all began sorting through and organizing the clothing closet. That was pretty fun because Lauren, Hana, Gary, Tony, and I got into some silly clothing pieces a took a picture (go to the bottom of the page to see it!). The day ended in going to CCF for Devo Dinner where I got to see a lot of my friends who I haven't seen in over a month! It was a kind of weird experience because I wasn't used to the Tech atmosphere but I loved seeing my friends. Talking to them and sharing stories was pretty awesome and it makes me realize just how lucky I am to be in a school with people that care about me. Makes me miss Tech and classes- crazy I know! But then I came back to my job and realized how much I love that. It might be hard at times (a lot of times sometimes! haha) but in the end it's worth it. To be able to see how God works in small and large scales is simply awesome. I pray that God can continue to work in the hearts of the interns and create strength in us to be positive when we encounter negative situations- to know that God works in everyone's lives, but through God's timing. Ah that seems so hard to keep in my mind... but I must continue praying for that. And please keep us in your prayers!
