i go to quite possibly the most amazing church in the entire world, substance. we have an incredible intern program that i am thinking about taking part of for the next year or two. i would be learning the ins-and-outs of being a worship pastor (obviously my ultimate dream job), all while leading worship and growing as a worshiper at substance. God has shown lots of favor in my place at substance, and this seems like the next step in my ministry there. many people have approached me about this opportunity and how great it would be for me. i've started filling out the application and praying for God's will in this area...
and then there's the matter of money. it will cost $3,500 for me to take place in this program. this money basically pays for all my meals, materials, resources, and a few trips over the next year. i'm a lowly schoolteacher, so there's not really much of a way for me to provide that amount of cash on my own. so i'm putting together a great support letter to send out to family and friends, but i'm very apprehensive that i won't get enough money and that i'll have to back out.
if God wants me to do it, He'll provide, right?
right! why is this so hard for me to grasp? He's promised to provide all my needs. philippians 4:19 says "my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." man. i love paul. he just knows what's up. if God wants me to do this internship, He'll make a way. and when the way seems as impossible as it does right now, that just means there's more of an opportunity for Him to show up in a bigger, more miraculous way. i've gotta go for it and see how far He takes me. He's got it.
