Thinking About God again

It's the eve of my first day of internship and I couldn't be more excited! I'm working with an organization that is Christian-based and is all about aiding in the recovery of human trafficking survivors. It's something I've wanted to help with for so much of my professional life. But as I approach tomorrow and all that it brings, I can't help but reflect on God again, from a Christian context.
Being that the organization is Christian-based, I believe we might be able to offer to them resources that might aid in their spiritual health as well, so to speak. We work in partnership with local churches and some of the things that they offer are things like "Celebrate Recovery" and prayer groups and things like that. It actually brings to mind a time when I was in a program much like Celebrate Recovery. The program I took part in was called "Re:Generation" and it was all about healing from things like substance abuse, behavioral addictions and issues, mental health issues, and other things like that. I really miss attending that group and having that daily time talking to God...
With another separate church that's close to me, they also have Celebrate Recovery. I think I might check it out to see what that program is like, especially since it's not too far from where I live. But in any case, I guess what I'm trying to say here is that... well... maybe my being with this specific organization and having a strong pull towards it for years now has been a sign of hope for me. I know that it's not "all about me", but maybe there's an important reason I was meant to be here. Maybe there's a reason that this organization reached out to me out of the blue to have me intern with them. Maybe God has some things in store for me that I couldn't possibly imagine, like being able to witness and partake in the recovery of other survivors. Maybe that's another missing puzzle piece that I need in my own life too.
I have a lot to think about and reflect on, huh? But I think it's for the better.
