The Only Rock of My Salvation

O Changeless God, Under the conviction of thy Spirit I learn that the more I do, the worse I am, the more I know, the less I know, the more holiness I have, the more sinful I am, the more I love, the more there is to love. O wretched man that I am! O Lord, I have a wild heart and cannot stand before thee; I am like a bird before a man. How little I love thy truth and ways! I neglect prayer, by thinking I have prayed enough and earnestly, by knowing thou hast saved my soul. Of all hypocrites, grant that I may not be an evangelical hypocrite, who sins more safely because grace abounds, who tells his lusts that Christ's blood cleanseth them, who reasons that God cannot cast him into hell, for he is saved, who loves evangelical preaching, churches, Christians, but lives unholily. My mind is a bucket without a bottom, with no spiritual understanding, no desire for the Lord's Day, every learning but never reaching the truth, always at the gospel-well but never holding water. Give me a broken hear that yet carries home the water of grace.- Paradoxes/Valley of Vision

Go Tell Ministry's Oppurtunities

Okay... so God is sooo cool! A few weeks ago, I got a call on the phone. It was a lady's voice I did not know so curiously I listened to the message. The woman told me that my name had been referred by my youth minister for an internship. At this point I was confused but intent on listening to the message. The lady informed me that there was an internship available for 5 high school seniors entering college to work at the Go Tell Ministries Office, at the camps, and go on a summer mission trip. Of course these are all things that are of interest to me! So I am still listening. The woman, Becca, gave me the phone number and information I needed. Today I received a letter in the mail stating that I have obtained the internship. Now here is what he internship is. I will be in Duluth, Georgia from June 3 to June 6 at the Go Tell Ministries office for leadership training. I will then be sent to one of the camps for four weeks. (One whole month!) Then, I will be back in Georgia interning for further ministry oppurtunities. After that week is over, I will be going on a mission trip with Go Tell to either Costa Rica or the Dominican Republic. When I come back, I will only have one or two weeks to prepare for college. What a great oppurtunity God has blessed me with, but that's not all!!! Go Tell Ministries is giving me a whole year's tuition (32 credit hours) scholarship! Man, something only God can do.

I do have a few things you could pray for me about:
-I need to finish my online class to graduate a year early. Pray that I will have the strength and the right mind to finish it.
-My friend's mother just died a few days ago and his family needs prayer.
-A church member died this morning as well. He has been sick for a long time. Please be in prayer for his family as well.

Let me know if you need any prayer at all. Keep me updated!
