Moriah Scales, 2022-23 Intern
Going into the internship I was running on empty. My chaotic, busy summer schedule had completely drained me in all areas; emotionally, spiritually, and relationally. I felt unsure as to what I had to offer as a leader, but I was stepping out in faith, feeling the Lord's invitation to join the Internship.
After going through the Hope Together program, I knew the Lord had more for me in this area of ministry. I joined the Internship hoping to discover more of what that could look like and to become equipped to minister to others.
One of the biggest things the Lord has been doing in me during this season has been placing in me a desire to draw into slowness and stillness with Him. Everything that we do should flow out of intimacy with Him and that needs to be our foundation as leaders in ministry. I've found that when I neglect pursuing intimacy with Him, my emotional, spiritual, and relational health begin to fail and I am not able to adequately serve the body of Christ.
I am hoping and planning to continue serving at MVF. The desire of my heart is to see others walking in intimacy with Jesus - He transforms everything. I want to be able to be used by the Lord to invite others into that as I continue to cultivate that in my own life and in the life of my family.
