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

E-license Tests, Greek, and the Washing of Feet :]

Hello family and friends,
I am now here at Southwestern. Classes started on Thursday, August 21, 2008. I thoroughly love my professors! I think Dr. Keas is my favorite! He is so insane! I love how smart he is! I have a lot of reading I have to do! I am reading The Core Curriculum. I am also studying Greek :/ Simply horror, but I know it's God's will. Lol. I wish I was studying biblical greek, but we're studying attic greek. I just got back from a Hawaiian Fellowship and it's good to know that I'm not the only happa here and that I have similar family around. :]
I am starting my membership classes at Redeemer on the 31st of August. Grace Baptist please be praying for that time in which I will truly learn what the church at Redeemer is about so that my convictions of heart may be dead clear. I am very involved in many things going on in the school, but SCHOOL needs to come first. I am reading anywhere from 20-100 pages a night. So please be praying that I will keep up with everything.
I started my job as a lifeguard last Wednesday at the Recreational Aerobics Center. I will start this Monday as a babysitter at 730 a.m. in Arlington (about 15-20 minutes away from the campus). The kids are simply adorable.

I need prayer everyone! I am growing in who God desires for me toMy be, but I need prayer. I am at a phase where I am in a permanent new environment, and I am experiencing tons of new knowledge and testing.


Prayers:
- My brain would become wise in reason and my heart would be equally balanced with love and Truth. My eyes would be windows to my heart and people would see the reason why I breathe the very breath in this atmosphere.
- My ministry in the church. That Redeemer church would grow me. That I can be used in the church, and that God would ultimately work there. For Pastor Presson and his family. His son goes to school with me. His name is Reece and he got his tooth knocked out yesterday. Be praying for him. He had several root canals and is now getting a fake tooth put in for four months! :/
- The different groups of friends here: different belief systems. That those would not get in the way of the ultimate purpose for our lives.
- That I would not get dry, and that God will continually break me and form me into who I need to be for Him.
- For a guy named Ron, his family is trying to adopt and has finally had a window of opportunity. Pray for their hearts, and for this little boy they are trying to adopt. That he would be raised in a godly manner.
- For some friends that I have made this school year: Kate Ladehoff, Rachel Koenig, Jess Odell, Lacey Geautreaux, Reece Presson, Richard aka Roll, Van, Hanna Stadler, Ali Shamsher, Ethan and Isaac Barton, and others. These specifically I hold close to my heart. Please pray that their hearts would be open to what God is doing and that flexibility and clarity would be always in their minds. :]
-Jonathan Murdock in his ministry currently and future-ly lol. For his adventures to the big Mexico!!! For his heart and that God would guide Him in his every step. That he would be intent on listening for exactly what God desires and that he would remain faithful.
I love and miss everyone. Please, email me. Send me carepackages!!! :D

I like hawaiian candy, (chocolate covered macadamian nuts), poptarts, just comfort foods, and loving stuff. Please email me!
Love and miss you all.
I'm praying specifically for Grace Baptist Church.
