This is my last blog....at least on here. Why? Because...I'm no longer in NYC ha.
Truthfully, I've been slacking. I meant to write a CLOSING post right after I left NY and EVERY time I started...I couldn't finish. I just didn't feel like saying anything. I now know why. ;)
So, New York and my internship... all I can say is that God took me there. He did it ALL. He got me the internship in the city I never imagined having it in. He got me to fill out an application 4 times because I kept messing up. He got them to call a random girl from Alabama. AND he somehow convinced my parents to let me go. God knew what He wanted. (and I had no idea how anything was gonna play out, but there I went!)
I really thought NY would be about me getting "my foot in the door"....well, I found out, it was more of something else. God moved me when I was in NY. He opened up doors and I got way more than a foot in....I got attached to the city. Really, the people in the city. Lots of reasons people move to NYC...and truth is, these people may be the most honest with themselves than most. They don't seem to hide who they are as much. They may not have life figured out...but wait a second, I don't think we do either. They just seemed more REAL than most people. In NY I met a lot of DIFFERENT people. DIFFERENT cultures. DIFFERENT lifestyles. DIFFERENT experiences, etc etc. And the city screams this....
"THIS IS ME....I NEED to CONNECT"
And God opened my eyes to THE connection. It's simple. It's Him. People will search forever and ever and go anywhere and everywhere to...connect. And its not just people in NYC...its people one step outside your door. And its us. I found out how much I desire to connect. To connect with someone or something....but the ONE thing my soul screams to CONNECT with is more of a WHO....to my Creator. (just like every soul in the world)
So God gave me AWESOME friends in NYC. In a matter of 3 months...I met AMAZING people, and formed everlasting friendships. (call it corny, but I'll just call it the truth) He spoke to me through conversations that literally moved me. He gave me Moments that will stick with me forever. He didn't bring me to NY for just an internship....He brought me to NYC to connect.... with Him.
As people, as His CREATION...we will ALWAYS have a Desire to Connect. We'll try to with anyone and anything until the day we die....because they can't fix the lost connection. Only One can. And more than anything, He wants to. Jesus made THAT possible...so now...we have to daily be open and desiring of the Connection with our Creator. Everyone is looking. "God is not Dead nor does He sleep..." He loves us ---He just wants us to reconnect with Him.
So that is what God taught me in NYC.
Tomorrow I start my final semester at UNA...and that's scary. And weird. AND scary. Yes, it's that big to me. No telling where I'm going after May. I'm open to anything and everything...cuz HONESTLY, i have NO idea what is to come. I don't have any specifics to even ask for. So...time to trust Him again. As best I flippin' can!
Let the semester begin ;)
oy.... ha
****God connects people to each other too. For a reason. Just trust Him to bring people into your life and let them go when life takes them another way....its ok. We're all headed to the same place in the end anyway, when we follow our Creator's lead****
