Third Time's the Charm
by Laura Alcantar
Taking on the role of a senior intern I never thought it
would get this challenging. I have had the honor to see, and experience both
the junior and senior sides of the Leadership Institute. All three times I have
learned and experienced things that go way beyond my imagination. My first year
as a junior intern I learned how to develop and how important it is to have a
relationship with Jesus. The second time around I learned how God reveals
himself to us through creation in a hiking trip to Colorado. This year I have
learned the importance of discipleship and I have built relationships with
girls hungry for Jesus. Their desire gives me the motivation to push forward
and increases my hunger
for Jesus. As a
junior intern I never knew all the hard work, dedication, prayer, and love that
was put in from our leaders to make the internship so great and a learning
experience. This summer I have been
stretched in ways that I have never even put thought into. This summer is about
meeting the emotional and spiritual needs of our students and putting them
first always.
“Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with
humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves.” Philippians 2:3
