God gave me an opportunity to counsel at a camp in Hawaii called the Winds. I got back Tuesday, July 20. Counseling at the Winds taught me so much. My focus has changed in life. Even my viewpoint of serving God has changed from a willingness to a desire to serve, from "Lord I'm willing to go" to "Lord please place me anywhere as long as I can serve you." God has been so good. I watched Him work in lives. I realized how much I still needed to learn. Living in Greenville has gotten me used to being a Christian to the point of becoming comfortable where I am and not striving to grown. Going to Hawaii helped show me how much I still need to grow. So many of us become comfortable with our suroundings in Greenvile and we just assume that the majority of Greenville is saved which isn't true. I want to live in Greenville like I'm on a mission field not like I live in the Bible belt. I faced people in Hawaii that wanted answers for why I believed what I believed. That was so good for me because I had to know. I have grown so much closer to my Lord andI pray that I keep growing closer to Him.

I'm thankful the Lord allowed you to go to Hawaii. Getting out of the country really helps one streatch and see what God has for him/her. There's so much more out there than complacency.
Keep the fire burning, Katie. Don't let the stability and prosperity of every day life around here stop you from hungering and thirsting for righteousness.
Oh, one more thing, keep blogging. ;)

Hullo, Kathryn, welcome back. Glad to know you had an awesome time of it there in Hawaii . . . . And isn't it a wonderful trial to have to know why you believe what you believe?

I was reading Joy's postings and wandered all over the place. I found you and want to say, "Thank you for ministering to OUR YOUNG PEOPLE this summer." We sent 13 kids your way this summer and you can read their testimonies at the newsletter posted at our site www.thebereans.com I don't know which of our kids might have been in your cabin--just wanted to say Mahalo Nui Loa! Love, Karen :)
Katie,
Just wanted to add that the new newsletter with The Winds camp testimonies from our kids isn't posted at www.thebereans.com yet. It should be there soon...Karen
