Module 9

My participation in our WSN partnership has opened my eyes to...
a blurry sight! Honestly, as of this moment I do not know all that much about WSN. I can imagine the significance of the Worldwide Student Network, but I haven't actually worked for or with any sector of WSN. Well, I should more accurately say that I'm not aware if I have work with WSN or not.

Now, after reading more on WSN at http://campuscrusadeforchrist.com/wsn I know that I'll be able to more thoroughly answer this question when I return from Milan! I guess even now WSN has helped me gain a better understanding for how many, many, many people are in the world and has changed my heart toward Italy. Instead of getting excited about visiting various locations or veiwing historic art and architecture, I'm getting excited about speaking with the Italian students! My heart is beating more for the people and the potential relationships in Milan than inanimate objects. I want to came back to the states not just with some memories - I don't want my experience of 4 weeks in Italy to be told by a pile of snapshots - I want an ongoing, living experience with the people I meet and with those I'll work with.

I have found myself clinging to some promises of God this year such as...
our place in eternity. At the start of this internship I realized how little I thought of the afterlife. I was already so awed at how following Christ was so rewarding here on year that I didn't get beyond the scope of this present world. Now, following my grandma's passing and my recent study in Peter's epistles and Acts, I'm more conscious of where everyone is headed. I'm not so far along that I vividly picture heaven or hell or really imagine myself being there, but I do know that we, as God's people, are meant to be there. I'm understanding how truly transient this life is and find myself dividing the "imperishable" from the "perishable."
