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

Camp 3 Lynchburg, VA Liberty University

Hello everyone! Man, this is week has been awesome! I seriously feel like God took me by the hand and we just ran away for a week and just had a love fest. I know that's kind of crazy and maybe not the best wordage but seriously.... it was awesome. It felt like a huge drag at the beginning of the week because the kids were completely nonresponsive to EVERYTHING. Even the fun things on stage. It was a good opportunity for the interns to REALLY put everything into these kids. It is getting to be the third week and exhaustion is really beginning to play a part! My days consisted of this: Waking up to the third time the alarm went off!!! (Therefore getting ready in a matter of maybe 15 to 30 minutes) and we all know how beautiful Katelyn is in the morning :] Haha. Complete and total joke. Then I go to the other building to pick up the interns and we ride to the other side of campus to the dining hall and get breakfast and then have our staff meeting. Then, we left to go to our breakout groups and I lead the worship for that. Then, we would go to the morning worship and Larry Grays the camp pastor preached and Fighting Instinct lead worship. It was awesome! Their hearts are just completely sold out for Christ. Really personal guys. Then we would go to lunch. Then, we would go to rec! (I did ultimate frisbee... took control of the field, went ice skating and did basketball ) Then we would go to dinner, get ready for the skits and then we would prepare ourselves for the night ahead of us (evening worship). It was not as personal as the other camps because it was more spread out. the food was about the same as the other place, just more variety to add to the grease :] God has really been showing me a lot through His power and through my weaknesses. I really enjoyed worship and the pastors preached the Truth this week. It was very encouraging. I am now in North Carolina at my friend Emily's house (that is not air conditioned :]) I love it! I can not wait until the mission trip in a couple weeks. Also, I just realized the other day that I know I have been saved for about 4 years now (December of my 7th grade year), but I have not gotten baptized. I was bathed as a child in front of the church, but I think it's time for the symbolism to come out as far as water is concerned. My friend Tim hasn't been baptized either and he's been saved for quite a while... so we are going to get baptized in the Dominican Republic. :] I love and miss you all. God is doing amazing amazing amazing AMAZING things! I hope and pray that you are all praying for every intern and student we come in contact with! This week is the office week. It should be good! I am traveling this sunday after church to georgia to go to the office. Also, I got my room for housing! So much stuff is going on it's crazy! I love and miss you all.
Call me I would love to get a call. If I do not answer leave a message!
In His grip,
Katelyn
P.s. Check out 2 Cor. 12:9-10 and Galatians 5:16 (Amazing stronghold verses that have given me much encouragement)
