God's Love

When the time came for me to look for an internship for the summer, I sat down with my advisor and we talked about my options and all the places she had contacts with in order to help place me in just the right place. After going through about five different areas, we came across New Beginnings and I knew right then that that was the place I wanted to pursue my first internship.

After finding out that I got the position I was overjoyed and extremely excited to start my adventure here. Not only am I the intern but I got the opportunity to play a role as a resident assistant as well. I was blessed to receive both positions because I am able to spend more time at New Beginnings getting to know the residents and creating relationships with them.

Thinking about my time here, which has only been a month so far, I have already learned so much and have had my eyes open to the world around me. Being in this environment, God’s love is seen everywhere. Through nightly devotions, group nights, friendship Sundays, and all the fun activities that happen here I can really see the work of God being done and how truly blessed we all are to be children of God.

We recently had a baby shower here where all the residents got together to play games and support the mother of the child who will shortly be with us.  Just sitting back and watching and listening to all the conversations going on, you can really see how everyone truly cares about one another and how we all are like family. I have been so blessed to have become part of the New Beginnings family and I cannot wait to continue my journey here!
