Good Sunday morning 14 th of December

If you knew how long it took me to find a "christmas" picture and to download it as my intro for this blog......
And i started doing it with a sleepy head due to a midnight shift i finished this morning......
The ordinary Christmas pictures didn't upload only this one i discovered some days ago......
So i said .."Lord i'm drawn to blogging like You want me to do .....You want to bring my thoughts my world closer to blogging friends...what must i write today about and around this picture......."

The name is WAAG does it come from the verb wagen......TO DARE.........
To bring the Message of CHRISTMAS ...some one MUST DARE really in that neighbourhood!!!! It's the "redlight district".....
A lot happen there what is God forbidden.......
But the moment my mind was spinning around about the "redline" in my blog a name crossed my mind
"Major Bosscherd"( Alida Bosshardt) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alida_Bosshardt
A remarkable lady who gave her life to serve the people in that neighbourhood and to bring them in contact with the LORD...
Untill her last breath she lived between them and stayed simple Just like JESUS and she DARE to bring the WORD!!

When i looked up the name "Waag" i found out it had nothing to do with the meaning of the verb Wagen TO DARE.....
But i believe that God wanted to make a point to me " I must DARE " to bring the GOOD NEWS of HIM especially now at this time in this place

The word for the coming week in my Daily Word Book of the Moravian Church is Isaiah 3,10
The voice of one crying in the wilderness: " Prepare the way of the Lord; Make straight in the desert. A highway for our God

Behold, the Lord God shall come with a strong hand. And His arm shall rule for Him; Behold, His reward is with Him. And His work before Him.

LET'S GO AN DARE TO MAKE A WAY .....TO BE JESUS HIS HANDS AND FEET IN THIS WORLD.
LET'S START GIVING HIM OUR HEART AS A PLACE TO BE BORN IN AND GIVE HIM ROOM TO GROW !!

"Yes Lord that is what i want ,that is what we long for take our Life and all what we have and use us ....Your will will be done in our Life AMEN

Christmas blessings to you !
