Should've been me
It should have been me. It shouldn't have been Jesus. He didn't deserve it at all. I deserved it. He was perfect. I was a sinner. He died. I lived. There's nothing fair about it. The only word to describe it is LOVE.
It should've been meIt should've been us
Should've been there hanging on a cross
All of this shame
All of these scars
Should've been stains that were never washed
Why do I hide
Why do you try
Over and over and over again
I guess it just leaves saying thank God
It leaves me saying thank God, thank God
For the should've been
The lyrics above are from a song called Should've Been Me by Citizen Way. I think it's something that we often take for granted. We are alive, and we don't think much about it. But the wages for sin is death. We have all sinned, and we all deserve to die. But Jesus loved us SO MUCH that he died instead. It would have been unjust for God just to take away the punishment without giving it to someone else. God is just. But he is also loving. He knew that we would all sin, and that we would all have to go to Hell for that.
Rather than letting His children go to eternal separation from Him, He had His Son die. It proves that God is both loving and just. But He is also victorious! Rather than just dying, forgiving us, and calling it good, He wanted us to be able to live with Him forever! Jesus raised from the grave for that!
We need to be careful not to forget that Jesus died for us. He didn't have to do it. He doesn't have to save us. But He loves us like crazy so He did! It should have been us. But because God is loving, it was Him!

F.R.E.E. and Catalyst concert!!!
Come and join with us on 8/24/12 for a Night of Worship to our Savior, Jesus! Doors open at 6:30 PM and the concert lasts until 9:30 PM. If you're interested in coming, can you comment and LMK so I have a rough count? Thanks, hope to see you there!
The two bands who are playing are: (I am in Catalyst)
F.R.E.E. stands for Forever Redeemed Eternally Esteemed. They are a Christian Rock band that was started in 2009. They love making, writing and recording music for God's glory and to praise Him. It says in Ephesians 5:19 - “Speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, sing and make music from your heart to the Lord." F.R.E.E. sings and plays from the heart. And at the heart of their band is Jesus Christ. Their entire band is centered in Christ and Christ alone!

Catalyst is a girls band started in 2011 dedicated to praising Jesus with the gifts He has given to them. In chemistry, a Catalyst is “a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change”. Their goal as a band is to increase the rate that the Good News of Salvation spreads through the world without conforming to the ways of the world.

Lemur bite???
My lemur bite is healing up quite nicely.... haha jk :) It's actually a cut I got in a huge pool fight yesterday where the girls and boys all wanted to be in possession of the floats... and so the attack began :) One of my favorite things to do in the summer! And for the time being, I have a nice little cut, a bit of a sunburn, and a bruise to remember it!
But really, I would do it again any day :)
