Bittersweet
The beginning of the end. The last chapter of my internship is coming to a close. Yes, there is still 8 weeks left of school- but that seems minuscule compared to my 2 year investment. For the last 22 months I have been investing, and invested into. Has it been tiring? Yes. Has it been challenging? Incredibly! Has it been worth it? More than I ever thought possible. Isn't it amazing that despite our attempts to think higher and greater than we believe possible, God still gives us more than we can physically imagine. During my solo this last month, I created my internship timeline- a series of my pictures that demonstrates significant moments that have defined my internship experience.
If you would like the whole explanation, well, then we'll have to go out for coffee.
We left Bighorn for the final time. Yes, it has been difficult. So many people who have impacted me in profound ways. My prayer is that I may be able to continue to pass on the same love and Truth that they have demonstrated to me.
What's Next?
This next term is jam packed of excitement. I have a full course load, and will also be taking my Alberta Provincial Exam for my Emergency Medical Responder class that I took last semester at Prairie. As I haven't studied much in the last 3 months (you know, climbing mountains and stuff got in the way), I will be madly studying these next 3 weeks. I would appreciate your prayers, that I will recall the information and not stress. The test takes place from March 23-25, and your prayers would be appreciated.
My hope is that I will get a job at Prairie over the summer, and will then be able to stay in Three Hills. I will be finishing up my degree this fall semester, and then moving on to..well, only God can finish that sentence. This will be the first time I've lived in one location for 10 whole months since I was 17; and the first time since I was 13 that it will be in North America! Culture shock/Cabin Fever? Don't worry, I now know how to send distress smoke signals.
