Am I Satisfied in Chirst?

Where to begin its been a long time since I updated this and probably should have done this a while ago. But I guess I will just go for it. For latest lesson scroll down.

I don't work at either my job or my internship any more. I come home in about a week and was ready to just have a week in Chicago without stuff holding me back.

Urban Fresh wasn't always the funniest but I appreciate that I was hired and was able to earn some money while I was here. For those of you that forgot I worked in produce for about 20 hours a week just stocking and making sure everything was fresh. I am so glad this job is over sometimes the people weren't the best to work with. But I did it. I am going to miss the calls from half way across the store from a certain person saying hey Or- E - Gone. Yes the wrong way to pronounce it but that was fun. My last day there was this last Saturday.

Friday was my last day at my internship. Wow it was hard to say Goodbye. I had developed some pretty close relationships with the staff there. I ended up putting in like 175 hours there and it was simply just a great experience. I did lots of administrative tasks, lots of research and groups with by the hand. I am also glad this is over but it is so bittersweet. I had to end my experience here with giving a presentation about everything I did. Then they through all of us BA interns a party and told us things they appreciated about us. they told me I was always positive and was funny. I am glad I made people laugh I am going to miss them.

I was able to go to the art museum that was pretty fun.

I have been hanging out with my bro a lot and my other friends here.

I also got to go to a movie in the park they show several throughout the summer so its pretty neat. We watched duck soup and old comedy with the Marx brothers.

I also read Airframe by Michael Crichton. He is my favorite author so that was fun.

So now for the latest lesson I have learned. It is the title of my blog but it has been a journey like most lessons we learn in life. At my internship I have been watching a dvd series on marriage. Toward the end of the series the guy said that we can have a successfully marriage without a spouse because we will be so satisfied in Christ. Then a few sermons ago the pastor challenged us asking us what we were longing for and my response in my soul was marriage and a family. He talked about how we need to be satisfied in Christ. Then I have been reading this book Called The Wonderful Spirit-filled Life. Its a book about the holy spirit and how he administers to us. The author was talking about how we need to be abiding in Christ and how we can't do anything with out him. It was at this point that all this came together. I need to be satisfied in him and abide in him. Because it is no longer I who life but He who lives in me. Therefore, my circumstances shouldn't matter. I am loved and need to be living my life for him.

Prayer request
That I make the most of my time left here

Countdown
Here ten weeks as of Sunday
Home a week from Tuesday

Love,
Dan
