Rebecca - 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?

I think it’s an understatement to just say I am different. I feel like I have been given a bigger perspective of what it is I need to be valuing and giving my life to. Not only that, but all the people that I met coupled with the experience had made me see and begin to comprehend the bigger picture - God’s plan/desire. Being able to see more of the why and how of what we do as G.O.D. along with learning the scriptural backng and practicality of the Bible has been transformative. I am so grateful for my brothers and sisters in East Africa who taught me many things, but who also embodied the vision of what the Lord has been doing and will continue. There’s still so much work to do but I am understanding my role as a disciple who is being prepared for the labor. I am definitely happy about the SI 24. It has given me the confidence and freedom to be in the proces. I am now going to commit myself to the full transformation he is doing because I no longer live for myself but the advancement of God’s kingdom.
