I'm in the food service rotation of the internship currently and it is, honestly really fun. It's lot of projects. For example, This coming week I have a theme meal to prepare where I essentially take over the kitchen and cafeteria by following their budget, making a menu, ordering the food, managing the staff, and decorating for my theme.
The kitchen is filled with what you would classify as blue collar workers and it feels like one big family. That is why I like it so much. Everyone works together to get one task done. Working with clinical dietitians is great, but you miss out on working with a team. Yeah there is the health care team, but it's not quite the same. I love the atmosphere in the kitchen.
Today we found out that HFAP was coming in response to a complaint to inspect the kitchen. Cheryl, the Kettering nutrition network manager, was running around making sure everything was cleaned and up to code. If a manger is worried about cleaning you better believe the intern is cleaning her every worry.
My favorite task was cleaning the windows that were on the double doors as you enter the kitchen. They were loaded with tape that had been there for years from different signs they put up to inform the workers about events and it just was never completely removed. As I work I contemplated my recent revelations from God and how I am much like the tape that has been on that window for years. I too get signs, or truth, from God like news flashes about important events. But instead of sticking to his words and signs, I get stuck to the different surfaces and environments that I should be proclaiming the message to. Then one day the words are gone and half of me is living on the words of God and the other half is living on the window, or the world. I feel so see-through and alone, yet there are so many other pieces of tape that live there.
A house divide cannot stand. Recently, I heard a message about the sanctuary and how it is God's blueprint. I no longer want to be split- one side of me in the world and the other in the Word; No. There is a movement going on and I'm on God's side. We are in the end times and I'm not going to chance anything for my opportunity to spend eternity with God. No music, attitude, habit, indulgence, TV show, belief, friend, or anything else in my life should be of Satan. The sanctuary message is so practical and clear regarding the christian daily walk. Just like entering the sanctuary daily and encountering each piece of furniture: we are to accept the sacrifice of Jesus daily which relates to the alter of sacrifice, the lavar is where we should daily die to self, we should continually pray and accept Jesus as our intercessor corresponding to the alter of incense, the 7 candle sticks lamp is showing us we need to daily share our faith to others, and the arch of the covenant is showing that we need to keep the commandments of God.
Pulling the tape off the window was my favorite job today. Free from the world is the best thing I have ever done. This world is tasteless. So far it has been a really interesting experience. It's hard to relate to a lot of people because I don't watch TV or listen to their favorite music and for some people that is their life. When our apartment manager found out that we don't watch TV and at the time we were still waiting on my parents to bring their old furniture set down she was speechless for 30 seconds then said, "this is what you need to do to have a good time, go out and buy yourselves some furniture on credit and a TV and you need to watch this show where a murderer is planning peoples deaths. It's the funniest thing and you'll love some real entertainment!" that has to be some of the worst advice I've ever gotten. The world is so backwards. I'm beginning to feel more and more peculiar.
There is a movement. Choose wisely.
1 Peter 2:9
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people, that ye should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

So True! I think the distinction was marred for a while but it is becoming clearer and clearer that God draws the line in a different place than all His people thought. Balanced isn't having a mix of godliness and worldliness so that you can relate to the world but to the worlds eyes it looks like foolishness. These days I don't think people know how to live anymore.
