Thoughts from Aimee

Hey guys,
Part of the code of character for the Desperation Internship is to stay steady. This means that no matter what we seek God, that no matter what we live the life of those who are desperately pursuing God. And if there is one thing that I have learned in the past three months as a Desperation Intern it is to allow God to sustain me.

When there is such a lack of sleep and such a high level of responsibility, Starbucks simply won’t keep you going. There are times when you are exhausted, stressed out and irritated and in those times God has to be your strength. The only thing that will keep you going is to continually seek Him out and to never allow yourself to become apathetic. Only pursuing God on a daily basis will sustain you through the more tumultuous times in your life.

I’m not saying that your life will be easy but leaning on God and allowing Him to give you rest will make the hard times a little more bearable. I can’t express to you how important it is to find your strength in the Lord. When your strength comes from the Lord you can accomplish so much more. Even when you are in a Jesus-bubble like DI, life is not easy and it is so important to learn to remain consistent in your pursuit of the Lord. It’s all about looking to Him for strength and endurance. God will see you through the good times as well as the bad times, so lean on Him.
