Flipped again

Going back to what Erin said about God just flipping things upside down and taking your breath away...I've found myself breathless once again.

Originally when I applied for this internship it was to the Willow Creek Association, not necessarily Promiseland, the children's ministry. The WCA covers the business end of things, planning conferences, marketing resources, etc...etc. I didn't intend to apply to the WCA, so I was grateful when they offered to forward my stuff on to Promiseland.

Well...this week it became apparent how God was working in all of this. Of course as you can see I am a K-1 intern in Promiseland, but now I've been given another awesome opportunity. The children's ministry team at the WCA contacted me this week and set up a meeting. They laid out a ton of opportunities for me if I'd like to get involved with some of the projects they have going on. Most these include the chance to work with a team of artists doing design work for the next upcoming children's ministry conferences. These are an add on to the leadership summit for children's ministry leaders, a volunteer training conference coming up in September and next year's Conspire conference. I will also have the chance to plan out some of the details for the conferences, do marketing for them. And I could also work with the resource team and help develop curriculum and other resources that will be coming out soon.

Not only will I be using my art in this, but also my writing skills as well. I will also be growing a lot in developing the big picture aspect of things...which is awesome!

God is so cool! And I've definitely been flipped again!
