WHAT?

I would like to answer a few important questions about this whole RUF internship thing as I can now seriously begin to focus on this new step in life.

What will I be doing? It is so funny trying to answer that question. When people ask, what will you be doing now? Well, I have a concrete answer: RUF intern at Wake Forest University... but it is not typically something people understand completely.

So, what will I be doing?

First of all... what I will be doing will greatly be backed up by why I have chosen to do this, which I will write about maybe tomorrow.

I have an answer for a what I will be doing...
-meeting one-on-one with girls, primarily Freshmen and Sophomores
- leading Bible Studies
- helping Kevin Teasely (the campus minister) in any way that I can
- organizing RUF events (oh, I sure hope so. already, the planning events bug is creeping up on me, especially after this amazing wedding weekend.)
- study program!!
- attending all conferences and other RUF trips, such as community work/mission trips

That is my answer. That is what I know of what I will be doing. However, it will be difficult to know exactly what my job will look like until I get there and begin to experience it. I am going to Wake Forest University, primarily, to work with college students in whatever capacity the Lord has called me to.

"For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." - Ephesians 2:10

What am I most excited to do? All of it. Truly. My friend asked me the other day that question... and I could not stop listing things. Everything about this job is my ideal job... meeting one-on-one with college girls, leading bible studies, planning events, the study program, administrative stuff... all of it.

However, I am not naive to think there will be no challenges. I know that I am probably about to face some unforeseen struggles as I experience life outside of being a student, out of the 100% headship of my parents, and outside of Alabama. That's right. I have never lived outside of Alabama... and although I have come to take pride in my roots... I am so ready to get out of here!! I need a change!

So, there is a bit of an explanation.

Tomorrow... why? I little bit of a back story of how I got to this point.
