Everybody Needs An Intern

- but especially Moms could benefit from having an intern for a semester or two! I know I am having fun with our intern this semester. Here are a few tidbits that are enjoyable:

  • everything you do becomes 'fresh and new' because you see it through the novice intern's perspective
  • teaching moments happen all the time; even when you do not plan them
  • the workload increases and at the same time lessens
  • you have company to go places with you
  • learn stuff about yourself that you'd forgotten
  • hear yourself give good advice that you yourself can benefit from too
I can see why teachers enjoy having student teachers and government workers benefit from interns. We just need to provide them for young mothers, busy Dads, and older adults who need company and have lots of wisdom to pass along!

Wouldn't that be cool if everyone had an intern?!

Oh, wait- isn't that what we're supposed to do as sisters and brothers in the Body of Christ? Mentor and model for one another and raise each other up in Christ?!?!
