All Good things Must Come to an End (Watch me contradict myself)

So as with all good things my internship will soon be ending. How crazy! I can't believe that I will be heading back to Denton in a week and a half. Kelly is leaving for Argentina where his wife is from and where she and their son are already, this Friday, so tomorrow is our last day as master and grasshopper. So I thought I would get a little inspirational.
I don't feel like this is really ending. It's more like a beginning! To the rest of my life. My attitude is different. My heart is changed. God is becoming more and more the center of my life! And I have learned so much about international ministry. I feel like this has been the best sort of job because everyday i learned something new. It was a challenge, but a good one that God has been preparing me for. So now I will go off to Denton for a few weeks, spend some time in Minnesota visiting the fam, and then start school once again. I'm excited to take all that I have learned here and apply it to UNT's Chi Alpha international student friendship ministry. And I think our Chi Alpha and our campus will never be the same! Really, this good thing isn't ending it is being carried over into the rest of my life!

Ok, end of inspirational now onto some spiritual tie-ins. :)

So I was thinking about this "all good things must come to an end" and was thinking about our life. The amazing thing is that even if our life on earth is great and full of blessings, fun filled, thrilling, full of love and things like that, this isn't it! This isn't even close to what heaven will be like. Sometimes I think that there just couldn't be anything better than this ("this" as in you know, that way cool thing you experience and just love, whatever that is) but have to stop myself and realize that no, there is something WAY better to come. I'm not going to lie. It is really hard to believe just how awesome it will be because all we know is this life. But God is teaching me to be focused on the imperishable prize (thus the title of my blog).

"Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. 25 And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. 26 Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. 27 But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified."
- 1 corinthians 9:24-27

Peace out, will update on all the cool things I have learned through this internship and will see the Dentonites in about a week and a half, my family and all the Minnesotans in about a month!!!!!
