Trusting God

So a many of you may know, I am going to be an intern for Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) at the University of Maryland for the next two years. This is an incredibly scary yet incredibly exciting adventure! RUF played such a huge roll in my spiritual growth in college. The people in RUF were so welcoming and friendly. They really showed that they cared about me as a person. It was a great example of how the Gospel should be portrayed in our lives. It inspired me to become an intern and show the Gospel to other people. This is what brought me to Maryland. In an effort to keep everyone updated on this internship, I decided to start a blog. I'm not really sure what I will write about, but I suppose I will give it a go and see what happens.

I have been reading the book Trusting God this month for the internship, and I must say, it has really helped put things into perspective. So far everything about this internship has been about trusting God. Which coincidently is the thing I struggle with the most. I like to turn to God when big things are going on in my life, but not with the little things. I also have no problem thinking that God will take care of the problems in my friends' lives, but I don't want to bother him with my problems...as if he can't handle them. Which is completely ridiculous, because I believe in a God that is sovereign. I have to raise $36,000 dollars to do this internship, but God is in control of that. If I am meant to go to Maryland, then God has already raised that money for me, I just need to find it. Albeit that is the hard part. But if it is God's will that those people give, then they will.

I'm sorry if this post seems a little all over the place. Overall I'm really excited to see how God works this summer. I'm sure it is probably not going to work out the way I have it planned, but that is okay. Thanks for reading!
