The Almost Real World- Day 1

I started my internship today and I am completely exhausted, but so excited for what the summer has in store! Last night, the Access leadership team met to eat some pizza, meet each other, and talk a little bit about the summer. I am really pumped to get to know everyone- the culture and community of Access is so hospitable and authentic, which is something that they value. Along with a guy that I haven't met yet, I will be leading the freshmen small group. I have a feeling that this could potentially be the highlight of my summer because I love freshmen A LOT, am excited to teach more, and LOVE making and building new relationships. I have plenty in mind that I want to do this summer. It's going to definitely be packed with learning, experiences, conversations, planning, teaching, relationships, and direction, but I feel ready to soak it all in.

Really the only thing I'm concerned about at this point is be refreshed and not getting burned out right away. I just left Taylor on Sunday, moved in my stuff, and started the internship. I am going to need to be deliberate to get adequate rest and rejuvenation so that I can be completely present and able throughout the whole summer. I'm just praising Jesus for a boss who understands and is sensitive to others' needs.
