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

North Carolina

Hello everyone! It's my second night in North Carolina. :] It is just absolutely phenomenal and beautiful here! Mountainous and treeful (if those words make any sense!) I have been blessed beyond belief. I am staying at my friend Emily's house. She is a pastor's daughter and their family has a ministry on their acreAGE! :] So tonight her dad invited us to hear the missionaries from Kenya and Mexico speak! It was awesome! The mother from Kenya's appendix exploded. And the timing of everything was completely divine as far as God's concerned. There was also a guy who got lost in Mexico twelve hours past his missions place. God is just encouraging me so much about what He has called me to be and to keep my focus on the here and now :]
I miss you all!!!! God bless.
