Alright, alright... I caved.... I now have a blog spot too for people to stay up to date with all that I am doing with my life.... I have found myself drawn to reading others' blogs and so I thought I would step out of my comfort zone and see how I do...
Well I am about 7 weeks into internship, and I am finally getting the hang of things. I am overwhelmed with the warm welcoming of the staff and congregation here at Zumbro Lutheran. Everyone wants to make sure I am settled in, knowing the right places to get gas, a carwash, a great burger... The feeling of community and genuine love for your neighbor is present in my new home, for the next 12 months.
Well, with hospital visits at MAYO CLINIC, leading healing services on Tuesday nights, preaching once a month, weekly meetings with my supervisor, confirmation, committee meetings to no end, and many more I could list but wont... I am keeping busy...that's for sure!!
There are times I miss home... family, friends, trivia, Dave, and the simple comfort of life I have known and lived in for years, but there is something extremly exciting about living on your own, in a new town! I know I know I am only 90 miles away (unlike some of my sem friends who are states away), but I am still living a life very different then what I am used to. I am truly starting to see the life of a parish pastor. Its incredible, and hard working, but sooo exciting and reward giving at the same time. I wake up each morning, having some idea of how the day is going to go, but each day plays out different.. and I am so so grateful for that.
Ok... that is enough for a first post....
until next time kids...
