Zeke - Update 9: Debrief Blog 3

Journal prompt: How are you different after Summer Internship 2024? How have you changed? What people or experiences contributed? Are you happy about it?

While being on this trip, I learned I am a selfish person. I realized that my need for recognition has clouded my ability to meet the needs of other people. That need has become an idol for me and I want to get rid of it. Before this trip, I would not have identified this idol in myself but through times of Bible study and reflection. I am going home, turning on this heart of service. Not for recognition, but for my love for the Lord and for others. I was able to come into this knowledge about myself and because of the loving correction from my leaders. Mr. Ownby and Mr. Garner helped as a mirror to really see where I am at and where I need to get to as I grow.
