Katelyn’s Wild Weekend experience

Hey Guys!  My name is Katelyn Mattingly… some of you might know me… but then again you probably don’t! Anyway… I grew up going to church, believing God and saying the usual “Grace” at dinner. But I don’t think I really knew God. I lived my life as a regular teenage girl, obsessing over guys, shopping and gossiping about the popular kids. Until a few weekends ago at wild weekend

Life After Edge

Heyy everybody! For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Heather Warfield. I already posted a little thingy on here, but oh well. My last one was ALL about Edge Camp and how I saw God change people. Talk about the obvious. Well this time it’s all about Life After Edge. Well I kind of got inspired to write this by Clayton Lowell. (Love you Clayton! Thanks!) He’s one of my friends I met at Edge and we’ve been pretty tight ever since. Well since Edge I have really been getting into Bible studies.

Matthew Sees Who He Really Is

Have you ever felt that for once in your life, everything was going perfectly? You have the most amazing girlfriend, you’re on the football team…everything is going perfectly. And just as you thought nothing could go wrong, it all gets thrown out the window.

Whitney’s Quest For Anonymity

I was sitting in my dorm room (ick) looking at the RebelBase wordpress for the first time, and somehow I was shocked by how much I was affected by these posts.  That just goes to show that we never truly learn, because you would think that after the most amazing summer of my life, spent meeting and building relationships with people that amazed me with their perception and conversation everyday, that I would learn what the students of RebelBase are capable of.  But no.  I’m an idiot, and forgot.  Anywho, after that pointless prologue, let me jump into what I’ve been thinking and feeling lately.

Guatemala, Grandfather and God (by Cole Ziegler)

Every year for about as long as I can remember my Grandfather has been going on mission trips to Guatemala with the Savior’s Sons mission group. I had wanted to go with him several times but I was too little. The trip is usually in July and my Grandmother passed away in June so it was tough for us to make it but he invited me to go with him this year so I rushed to get a passport and shots.

Meagan’s Thoughts

With beaten, broken hearts we laid it all down for all to see.  The prosecution of Judgement was never applied.  We’re all in it together now, using the shoulders of peers to pour down on, the consistent grasp of hands to hold onto for community.  The act of revolution is here and the Holy Spirit has gracefully entered.  All as one we will gather with one another, carry it on, persist in the brother hood and sisterhood as we were all meant to do.  It was here all along, now that we’ve realized the beauty of this blessing, it shall never end but only grow as it was intended to. 

-Meagan Kovach

Clayton on Christ

Hey guys my name is Clayton Lowell and I am going public! 

I have grown up in the church and I have been to church almost every Sunday.  But I guess I truly understood what going to church meant at Edge camp this year.  If anybody knew me at school, they would honestly think that I had never been to church in my life. 

Matthew’s Edge Memories

Edge camp 07 was the most amazing trip i have ever been on. Matt Carter was one of the most amazing speakers i have ever heard, and Rush Of Fools was also one of the best worship bands i have ever heard.  Well, on the last night we were supposed to have a dance but Bob decided we should have a worship service instead.  Everyone got up and said what was on their mind, and everyone was crying.  It was one of the most amazing experiences i have ever had. It moved everyone that was there closer to God.  Edge camp was the most amazing experience I have ever had and i can’t wait to go again next year.

Casey Copus on Family

You see, sometimes God shows up and makes an impact. Other times he picks you up, takes you for a ride, and all you can do is hang on. This summer has been one of those times. -Brian McCormack 

You know how people attempt to find their meaning or worth in different things, it feels like i have done that my entire life.

Dealing with Loss (by Margie McGregor)

So I think I’m going to go with Whitney’s approach and tell a personal story about how God came into my life.  SO!  This is how it went down…   

So less than a year ago my mom and I were spending A LOT of time in Dallas taking care of her parents (my grandparents).  My grandmother had about every type of cancer you can think of, she smoked for two thirds of her life, and had so much chemo and other treatments done she was pretty much not with us anymore.
