HoneyRock in the Community

Elizabeth Baltus--Registration Coordinator

One of the things I love most about my job at HoneyRock is
that it allows me time to be involved in ministry in the local church and Three Lakes
community.  One of the ministries I get
to be a part of, and lead, is a high school girls’ breakfast that meets every
other week.  Each week that we meet I
find myself thankful for the role I have specifically seen HoneyRock play in
the lives of some of these girls.  There
are 12 high school girls that attend the breakfast, and of those 12, four have
spent multiple summers at HoneyRock and committed their lives to Christ at
HoneyRock.  As one who works both at and
outside of HoneyRock, I get the privilege of seeing the scriptural truths and
disciplines these girls learned at camp being put into action, affecting their own
lives and the lives of those around them – and it is a powerful and humbling
thing.  It constantly reminds me of God’s
command for us to “walk in a manner worthy of the Lord fully pleasing to him,
bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God…. Let
the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in
all wisdom.... And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name
of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him” (Colossians
1:10, 16-17).

I want to leave you today with that command as well as the
lyrics to a song that speak of this call to live lives worthy of the
gospel. 

“Before the world was made, before You spoke it to be. 

You were the King of kings; yeah You were, yeah You
were. 

And now You’re reigning still, enthroned above all
things. 

Angels and saints cry out, we join them as we sing. 

Glory to God; glory to God; glory to God, forever….. 

Creator God, You gave me breath so I could praise

Your great
and matchless name, all my days, all my days. 

So let my whole life be a blazing offering,

A life that shouts and
sings, the greatness of our King.”

(Glory To God,
Forever, by Steve Fee)
