WHY I WANT TO BE IN THIS INTERNSHIP!
First, I want to say that this internship with Shannon Ethridge and involvement with the BLAST program www.shannonethridge.com/blast has already been a life changing experience for me. I truly believe that this is a Godsend and He has had His hands in this process from day one. I had no idea that God was going to lead me to this place and put me in the hands of a great writer and speaker to teach me the things I need to know for my own vital birthing ministry. From the moment I heard the Lord say “this is the way walk ye in it,” I knew this was where I was supposed to be. I know God sent me here by His hand and that is why I am here to absorb and learn.
I feel that this internship will provide me with the tools and skills I need both spiritually and professionally, to be productive and prosper in the ministry God has called me to. This is a training ground for battle to win souls for God. The principles I learn here I want to pass on to others who need and are hungry for spiritual guidance. I also want to learn how not to compare myself to others but to look at myself through God’s eyes. I want to keep a good perspective and remember that everyone has their own gifts and the ability to bring something different and unique to the table. I believe this internship will help me master myself and my emotions so I will be completely stable and led by God’s voice.
My main goal is to be a spiritual mother to many women. I want to learn everything I need to know about women’s ministries so I can help women that are struggling with the same things I struggle with such as self-acceptance, eating disorders, drug addition, abuse, self-doubt and fear of the unknown. I know this internship is where I need to be to obtain this knowledge and experience.
I hope to write my book while I am serving in this internship and to learn how to market myself. I have a desire to become a better writer and to become more polished in my speaking. I am going to take it to the limit, over the top, in a spirit of excellence. I am all out for Jesus, my Redeemer and friend. I am on a mission to learn more about God. He has given me more grace than I deserve. Because of his grace and mercy, I am blessed to be in this internship today.
My goal at the present time is to be loyal and faithful, to be the armor bearer and friend that God has laid on my heart to be. I am to carry out the vision of this ministry. If you are faithful with another man’s vision, then God will give you your own. I hope to make great friends and contacts that will last a lifetime. This too shall pass one day, and when it does I hope to look back and remember some of the greatest times of my life.

God is My Everything
God is my peace.
He is my best friend.
He is my everything.
He is the Lillie of the valley.
The bright and morning star.
His power is so real in my life.
When I am lonely, He sends His spirit to comfort me.
When I feel overwhelmed, He takes the burdens upon Himself.
He will provide my every need.
He knows what's best for me; even though I can't see.
I trust Him - with everything.
He is my best friend.
He is my everything.

Regrets of the Past
As I look back over my life, I sometimes think of all the things that I could have done differently. Could I have been a better daughter, sister, or friend? Could I have made better choices? What if I had made my decisions with more wisdom?
One thing I've learned, is that I cannot live in the past. I've choosen to learn from my mistakes; to become better not bitter. What won't break me, will only make me stronger.
With every choice there is a lesson to be learned. I cannot let my past destroy me; I choose to let it define my character.
There is forgiveness with God and He makes good out of every bad situation for those who love Him. We will all make mistakes, that's a given. However, we can choose to let our past be the past and learn from our mistakes.
Remember, there is no pit so deep that God's grace is not deeper still.

Freedom
Freedom is not the power to do what you want, but the power to do what you ought!
In my addictions, I felt like I had a life of power and authority; a life full of drugs, alcohol, money, and a false security of power. I never knew what true freedom was until I found the truth through Jesus Christ.
For all of those who are burdened with sin and guilt, there is freedom for you through Jesus Christ. True freedom comes from accepting Christ as your Savior. When He lives on the inside of your spirit then you are free to make the right choices.
I learned once I allowed the Lord to fully control my life, it was easier to say no to bulimia, drugs,and alcohol; even though the desire was still there the Lord gave me the strength to overcome. When I would feel defeated, God would bring the song "In Your Presence" by Jason Upton to my mind. This song would give me comfort in my torment.
"Father I'm returning
the things I used to do.
Cause somewhere on the journey
I think I lost hold of the truth.
But nothing really satisfies
like when You speak my name.
So tell me that You'll never leave
and everything will be okay."
As I would listen to this song, I felt the Lord comforting me and calming my soul. A personal encounter with the Lord would give me the strength to continue on. I learned from this situation, and others like it, that we find our strength in the presence of the Lord. The peace that the Holy Spirit brings is higher than any drug.
So - find peace in the ultimate healer and rest in Him.

Relax and Enjoy the Ride
In Matthew 6:28, Jesus said for us to consider the lilies of the field and how they grow. They neither toil nor spin, yet our heavenly Father clothes them. How much more precious are you to Him? Will He not take care of His own?
Of course He will... Our heavenly Father knows what we need before we even ask Him. If we seek the kingdom of God first, then all these things we ask of Him will be given to us.
Today if you are in a place of worry or stress; relax and let joy fill your heart. The peace of God will sweep over you. Trust in Him for He has you in mind. Be content with the things that you have for He has provided everything you need for your present happiness.
Smile and enjoy the ride!

New Life
God is amazing!
He's turned my morning into dancing.
He made the lilies, just for me.
He breathed His life, His breath, into man.
One word from His mouth; can change everything.
Yet - he loves us.
He is more than enough for me...
He has filled my life with:
joy,
love,
peace,
wisdom,
knowledge,
praise,
and given me a dance.
To Him I owe everything.
