GOING CAMPING--

AND THE KING WAS PLACED FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SHOW DISGRACE BUT ONLY BEAUTY FLOWED FROM THIS PLACE--

these words are lyrics from a song by Jeremy Camp. The song is called This Man. It asks would you take the place of this man??

This morning during my time with God these words--and the king was placed for all the world to show disgrace but only beauty flowed from this place--brought me to tears lots of tears. I was visualizing Jesus on the cross. Attacked by mean words, being accused of all kinds of things, tortured in front of all kinds of witnesses and more. I picture it and then to think that while this is such an ugly-evil act it is also the reason why He came. To show us the depth of His grace and to wash away our sins. I really cannot wrap my mind around it but all I know is I found myself drenched in tears in a booth at PANERA this morning praising God for Jesus.

WOULD YOU TAKE THE PLACE OF THIS MAN??

what a loaded question...

I won't even begin to answer it but I ask you to ponder it for a moment...

So here I am 13 days into 2010 and looking forward to a new journey...What journey you ask?? Many lovely ladies are teaming up with me to try to get WOMENS MINISTRY thriving at FLIPSIDE! Please be praying for us...that we will allow God to give us shape. SO EXCITED!!!

thank you Jesus
