JUNE HAS COME AND WITH IT THE NEXT PHASE FOR REOPENING CHURCH...
The awaited time where all interns would serve together once again would take place, the purés form of intership was lived. A long side with the vision of church and fully supporting our leadership we said ¨Here I am¨.
No one had an idea of how it would look like, all we did know was that our hearts for those who have missed in person church needed it (i needed it), with our safety social restrictions in place we welcomed everyone and it was as exhausting as expected lol. The first two sundays I did nothing but go home a sleep, felt like I´ve ran a marathon, even though I have never run one nor I plan to lol. However, the emotional exhaustion was not there, quiet the opposite, I found I had a full heart.
Every Sunday I have been expected to see people I usually would only see on Sunday, however I have come to find that not everyone is ready for physical church and that’s ´s ok. Is a reminder to me of how reaching out throughout the week, meeting one on one, is the bigger part of the calling as the hands and feet of Jesus.
As interns, I think is interesting to get to know each other in action, our own unique styles, what people we tend to gravitate more towards in person versus online, etc. Maybe is just me who notices this, but I find it interesting. I also have notice people are more reserved on openly verbalizing their opinions when in person, which I personally like so others (myself included) can have an opportunity to verbalize their thoughts and opinions. Although I do crave that relational equity, I long for the times where as a team we are able to be 100% raw and build each other more.
This might be harder for me, and I´m aware, as an introvert I tend to shy out from extroverts as it seems forced to me to have conversations with them, most of the time. Although been outside my shell is something I´m used to now, specially when helping someone.
