1st Day
So I had the brilliant idea to drive through the night, leaving at midnight & arriving at 9am. In many ways, this was genius-all except the part where I couldn’t move in until 3pm & could find nowhere to sleep.
I did find a cute park called Sunnyside with trails for running. After a 74 yr old named “Pops” basically called me fat, I decided to go on a 3 mile run on no sleep. So then I was left sweaty, smelly, and delirious. Finally at 3 pm, it was time to go to registration. I was feeling a little anxious when everyone I saw looked high school-aged. Thankfully, the average age in my apartment is probably about 26. I did not meet one person from the same state.
The 2-bedroom apartments have 2 bunk beds in each bedroom, a kitchen, living room, and 2 bathrooms. We were rushed after unpacking straight into our first session. This included an introduction to the leaders, a message, going over the schedule, and a meal. The meal was not impressive, but at least they had salad bar.
After this, I took a much needed 30 minute nap. Then it was back to another teaching session, with worship & prayer. The message was on seeking knowledge of God like treasure. We are headed to the prayer room now to pray from 12am until 1:30am. Tonight is an early night-bed at 4am. Thank goodness cuz I am beat!

Time & Fireflies
Staring out my window watching the fireflies appear… Connor hasn’t left my side all day. I think he senses I’m leaving soon. Had lunch with JG, and realized how much it hurts that so many people are desperate & vying for my moments but my dad… Wish he knew what he was missing. Wish he was free. I had a dream he was free & the enemy was muzzled. I woke up encouraged. Now the time has come. It’s time to make the drive.

Things to Do… People to See
UghArrr! I got a million things to take care of before I leave: finish packing, finish laundry, run/workout, dinner with Bekah, visit mom, late dinner with James, finish book, get phone fixed, go to bank, see John, lunch with JG. I’m probably forgetting something. Sheesh. Pray. Pray a lot. 
By the way, I’m going to try to keep this blog updated everyday of my internship so that future people considering doing an internship will know what to expect. I had enough donations to do track 1 and pay living costs. The second track is still out of reach, but I am praying for God’s provision to complete the 2nd track either right away or soon after.
