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

Prayer for the Week

Last week was the longest week of the school year by far. I had some things taken away from me, but God completely used that in a manner to glorify His HOLY name. :)
This week I have much to accomplish. I have a paper due in 8 hours. I have a midterm tomorrow. A reading journal that is due on Wednesday and another paper due on Friday. I ask that you pray for me for diligence, and that my schoolwork would really reflect how hard (or not hard) I work. That justice would be brought to the table. :)
I just want to say that I have never been surprised in my whole life; until yesterday. I didn't speak with Andrew Gombossy for a week, and he is a very dear person to me. I was not supposed to speak with him until today, and yesterday morning Jonathan told me that he was praying for me because he knew "today will be an awkward morning for you." I didn't understand so I questioned, "Why?"
Jonathan: Because some things might be a little different this morning.
I had no idea what was to come!
I walked into my mom's sunday school classroom and she said "You better put your lips on with a smile." My response was: You're joking right?
She kind of laughed, and I thought (There is no way that he is here.)
I walked into the sanctuary, and I said hi to a gentleman on my left and then I thought I saw Van. (My big brother here.) I walked up and right behind Van was .... yep you guessed it ... ANDREW!!!! I was soooo shocked. I couldn't believe it.
It was a sweet and rich surprise. We spoke and God gave him a peace about speaking with me... It was good.
I just ask you to pray that I wouldn't prize the toys and lusts of my heart over God. (Andrew NOT being one of those. He is a blessing as is Jonathan and Van and Lacey and Kate and Brittany) That I would wholeheartedly pursue the glorification of MY KING.
E-mail me all of you friends who read and let me know what I can pray for you for!
In the love and mercy of my King,
Katelyn
