Beyond the Cross

Hello friends,

It has been nearly 2 months since my last entry and alot has taken place in my life in these past days....

My mother went to be with Jesus on Jan 28th, the same day rehearsal began for our Easter Production of Beyond the Cross. A play written by Lowell Lundstrom, about Jesus through the eyes of Thomas.

I played Veronica, the woman with the issue of bleeding. This was by far the most challenging role I have ever played. Veronica was someone who had been ill for 12 years, bleeding.... I imagine what it must have been like for her back in those times, cursed, frail, unclean... yet, she believed if she could only touch the Messiah's garment she would be healed, and she was. That was faith.

I feel as if I was meant to play this role, for I have walked in the same shoes as Veronica. Weak and frail, disease ravaging my body, the ability to bear children removed from my life. Yet, I walk in faith, believing in miracles. No matter how many times I get knocked down, I get back up. I am healed, I continue to overcome, through the blood of Christ.

The crucifixtion scene was nearly unbearable to do. It was real, every time. I wept every time... I wept from my soul. Now, when I daily go to the cross, I am there, understanding more than I ever have before what it means for someone else to take my place.

I am humbled to have been chosen to be a part of this production, it was a life changing blessing for me.

This photo is from the play, during rehearsal... it speaks to me - He took our place... yours, mine... everyones. If not for Jesus, we would have bear the pain and suffering of condemnation and eternal strife.

Over 1000 souls were saved through this production... saved by Grace.
