WhatEverItTakes:.Day Four:.

How Beautiful the hands that served

The Wine and the Bread and the sons of the earth

How beautiful the feet that walked

The long dusty road and the hill to the cross

How Beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful is the body of Christ

How Beautiful the heart that bled

That took all my sins and bore it instead

How beautiful the tender eyes

That choose to forgive and never despise

How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful is the body of Christ

And as He lay down His life

We offer this sacrifice

That we will live just as He died

Willing to pay the price

Willing to pay the price

How Beautiful the radiant bride

Who waits for her Groom with His light in her eyes

How Beautiful when humble hearts give

The fruit of pure love so that others may live

How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful is the body of Christ

How beautiful the feet that bring

The sound of good news and the love of the King

How Beautiful the hands that serve

The wine and the bread and the sons of the Earth

How Beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful is the body of Christ

It was beautiful yesterday. But it was a hard day where darkness fought with everything it had. As the day went on it became more intense. I watched women filled with pain battle and men that were bound struggle. I don't even have words to describe what happened yesterday because I just don't have any.

Later in the afternoon I was asked to share along with Daniel about how we handled our parents sin when it first happened. It was one of the hardest things to do but so amazing at the same time. pouring out is a hard thing, but do you know what is so amazing?! Getting filled back up....through the embraces of people and words of hope. It was awesome. He was glorified in so many aspects, Daniel shared things that he didn't have to but instead he died to himself and poured out life.

The evening came and the lights were turned off and the candles were lit. The bread and juice was set on the tables and the hall was lined with candles. The music played as the couples came up and entered the room. Immediately I wept seeing each one enter the room knowing that He was here waiting for them to come to Him.

Today is the end of the conference. It is not over yet though.Keep praying.

WhatEverItTakes:.Day Three:.

Have you ever looked in someones eyes and seen everything you need to know about them? Ever looked at a face and saw it etched with the years of pain and hurt? Alot of that was seen yesterday as people were getting purged from their pasts. When truth is in the midst and is heavy and thick it pushes out the lies that are in there. Truth shines in the dark and castes it out.

As yesterday went on I watched the lives around me acknowledge the truth that was presented to them, i saw others also reject it. One that shook my world was a couple that was in the hallway with my parents. What broke my heart was listening to this father care less about what was happeneing to his family. He was so self centered and blind to those that were falling apart around him. I was allowed to speak life to the man that I so badly wanted to slap. But Jesus showed me that this is where we could be like Himself to this man that didn't deserve it at all. When truth in love was spoken to him, he broke and tears flowed as he cried. It was amazing and impacted me so much.

What was amazing was hearing how the different women here have also taken on the roll of Jesus to their husbands. Those that have been through hell and have not allowed themselves to stay in the pit. Those women that have surrended their lives to Jesus and have allowed Him to love through them to the unloveable. They spoke life to the women that haven't come out of the pit yet and it was a beautiful thing to watch and listen to.

I know that my thoughts are not flowing so great together right now, there is just so much going on in there that it all gets jumbled trying to see what can come out first! So the bottom line is that He is doing amazing things here(I know I use the word amazing alot but it really is :) )

Keep praying. The battle is not over yet.

WhatEverItTakes:.Day Two:.

"We are expecting God to meet us with a miracle"

"Walls have been broken down, I am actually able to experience emotions now"

"We have been able to start enjoying God's goodness"

"I WILL NOT STOP- I will DECLAIRE goodness, delieverment and freedom to the spiritual world"

HOPE in the dark-light is on the way

Come let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord Our God and Maker

Those were a few words of life that were spoken just durning our team leader meetings yesterday. Each one of those quotes were from couples that had attended any where from 2-7 WIT conferences. We sat in a room that was still under construction (saws running, hammers pounding, dry wall dust drifting in the halls) But it didn't matter because there was a peave and a stillness in the midst of it all. We stayed in that room for 3 1/2 hours as every person shared what was going on in their lives. No one held back anything, all masks were taken and stripped away. It was the most beautiful thing that we experienced in that room.

So the entire day was packed with getting ready, preparing everything for the couples that were soon to arrive. Then they did start arriving. I jsut say back for a bit and watch each face, some were evident of years of hurt and others did a good job of hiding it, yet when they thought no one was looking it showed up clearly on their face. The couples came into the auditorium and as soon as the worship was over the wedding march was played as Ray and Jane walked down the aisle in full wedding garb. After the skit, Paul and Jenny started off with the first session.

The night ended and again I just say back and watched each person that walked around me. It was amazing to see the diversity that was around me. Old,young,conservative, liberal-it was all here. I know that he is going to do amazing things in each of their lives. It was so awesome to see them all interact and talk with each other...they enjoyed that so much that a couple of them almost missed thier shuttle to the hotel :) After every one had left we transformed the room - tore down chairs and set up 11 round tables with complementary kleenex boxes and chocolate. Once that was complete we prayed and went to our rooms. It was an amazing day. HE was so good-every detail was taken care of, there was no stress at all throughout the day. He receives all the honor and glory.

Here is a list of team leaders that you can pray for-

Rey & Jane Alvaranga

Tom & Cathy Gaige

David & Juanita Burkey

Mark & Sue Hinrichsen

Jason & Kathryn Kempson

Boone & Pam Nicolls

Here we are at Verity in Indianapolis for the WIT Conference. We traveled down yesterday and made it safe and sound (after getting a bit lost) and here all in one piece(besides the fact that someone put shaving cream under my door handle when we stopped at a restraunt for dinner!)

Today will be a day of getting prepped for when everyone arrives this aftenoon. Oh, by the way, Sara Smith came along for the adventure. Jenny Cooper is here as well, along with this guy named Ben (well they are sorta together (: ) it is so good to be with everyone that is here...
