My plane tickets have been purchased and I'm getting more and more details as I get closer to my departure date!
With each day my excitement is growing. I can't wait to get to NYC and get to work!
I will be leaving in just under two weeks on July 1st at 6am. This will get me to the city about noon and give me plenty of time to get settled in my new place, meet the other interns, and adjust myself to a new environment.
I have also gotten a timeline for my first day there and an idea of where in Manhattan we will be. My fellow interns and I will have a small orientation the first night at a couple's apartment and then the next morning we will travel by subway to Queens where the conference will begin. It is looking like we will be living close to or in a neighborhood called Hamilton Heights. This is between Harlem and Washington Heights. Our apartment will be fully furnished so I don't have to worry about bringing linens and such, which will clear up a lot of room in my luggage.
God has been so good over the last couple months and I am very thankful for all of the encouragement from my friends, family, and supporters! I quit my job in May when I thought I was going to Glasgow and my position was already filled when I made the switch to NYC and found out that I would not be leaving until July. God has graciously provided opportunities for me to earn and save money during this time. One of my favorite passages is Psalm 37:25-26, "I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread. He is ever lending generously, and his children become a blessing." The Lord has definitely given me comfort and strength through this verse lately and I pray that through this journey I will become a blessing to the people of NYC.
Please continue to pray for me as I prepare to get my things in order over the next couple of weeks and begin my journey to New York!
