Summer camp 2010 is approaching quickly. This past year has sadly sucked. Yes. Completely. It had its wonderful moments. Don't get me wrong, but overall, I've never had to deal with so much that a teenage girl must deal with. Last week I started meeting the girls I'm rooming with for camp. Today, I fell like I have so much in common with these girls. Between my best friend, Erin, and I meeting and bonding with these girls, I feel like this summer is really going to be unforgettable. And, amazingly, it's in a very good way! We all have our secrets. The good thing is, God knows all those secrets before we even tell anyone. Today I was at lunch with Erin and I realized while I was talking that I have someone there no matter who's busy or out of town or can't hangout of whatever reason. Erin, yes that person is you...but I'm referring to Father on this one(; He's my everything. I used to go around saying that, but never living like it. It's hard to live a hypocritical life. It's so much easier if we just obey the Lord. I'm a visual person. So when God tells me something, I visually see it. The biggest one that has never left my mind has been when He told me to let go of everything I have or ever cared about or been close to. People, houses, buildings, sounds, everything. I saw myself standing in-between darkness and light. Darkness at my back and the light in front of me. Whatever I needed to let go of, I was holding in my hands. Every time something new popped up in my hands, He told me to let it go. That hardest person to let go of...my dad. He was standing there in front of me holding my hands. Whispering, "Kailyn let go of me. I'm always with you. You know that. Scripture says that. He says that. But you need to let me go." Was that hard to hear or what?! But I obeyed....lemme tell ya, WORTH IT!!! I encourage you, listen to God's still small voice. If you have to, quiet your heart. I have to. I'm a loud person, but quieting my heart for God is the best thing I could do for anyone. He tells me exactly what I need to hear when I need to hear it. He brings me joy. He opens my eyes to what I need to see. He opens my ears to what I need to hear. He gives me the words that I need to speak and He gives me the knowledge I need to know. He is my Everything. No one can get to my heart unless they've been through Him. Scripture says anything you give to the Lord, He will give you back 10 fold. He loves to please us. Why is it so hard for us to obey and lay our lives down for him?

Here at Your feet, I lay my past down
My wanderings, all my mistakes down
And I am free

Here at Your feet, I lay this day down
Not in my strength, but in Yours I’ve found
All I need, You’re all I need

Jesus, Jesus, at Your feet
Oh, to dwell and never leave
Jesus, Jesus, at Your feet
There is nowhere else for me
There is nowhere else for me

Here at Your feet, I lay my future down
All of my dreams, I give to You now
And I find peace, I find peace
Here at Your feet, I lay my life down
For You my King, You’re all I want now
And my soul sings…

‘Cause I am free (here at Your feet)
All I need (is at Your feet)
I find peace
We’re at Your feet
We’re at Your feet

And I am free (here at Your feet)
All I need (is at Your feet)
I find peace
We’re at Your feet
We’re at Your feet
We’re at Your feet
We’re at Your feet

Here at Your feet
I lay my life down

-At Your Feet, Casting Crowns.

WORD!!!!
