You might be curious if you've stumbled upon my page for the first time why I've decided to call it thetireswing. Well, beginning in late summer, I will be interning at the University of Georgia's Wesley Foundation. It's an exciting season to be entering into and preparing for, and one of the things I've chosen to do is blog throughout the year about my experiences as a youth intern at Wesley.
My blog’s title holds great significance for what I desire for this season of interning. While I was praying about interning at Wesley, the Lord showed me a picture of a tire swing and used it to describe my ministry. The Lord represents the tree- which grows in both directions, both deep and wide. He is my sustainer and my provider- challenging me with change and offering me wisdom. The rope represents all of the people who support me financially and prayerfully- I could not do all that I am blessed to do without you. Finally, I represent the swing. This year of interning is an opportunity for me to extend an open invitation to those around me to lean on the Lord, to experience His goodness, His mercy, and His love. And, let’s be serious, what greater metaphorical invitation than to swing into so much support and Truth?
Together, we advance the kingdom. Together, we create community. Together, we are the hands and feet of Jesus. I cannot walk this road alone, and it is my joy to partner with you in this journey.
