Today was a sad day in the Kirk household. We said goodbye to our 2100 intern who had been living with us for the past 3 months while she worked in the graphics department doing various projects for InterVarsity.It always seems like a gamble when you agree to open your house to some total stranger for an extended period of time. But I have to admit that Christine was a blessing to be around this summer and I (sarah) enjoyed her company and have to admit that I learned a lot from her.
One thing I will always remember Christine for is her commitment to prayer. It's one thing to see people in the process of disciplining themselves to spend time with God (usually that means that you have the intentions but get easily distracted), but it's a whole other thing to see someone who is passed the process of learning to quiet themselves and is actually diligently spending time with God. Other things I am thankful for and will always remember is her servants heart and willingness to go along with all of our crazy summer schemes, her love of enchiladas and how she never quite got how to say "enchiladas" in the American way, how she would laugh at the silliest and simple things, her love of movie trailers, and her desire to learn.
Christine we will miss you and you are always welcome at our place!
