Well...the DOK (Daughters of the King) mission statement has been set for awhile...but, today I wanted to make it easier for the girls to remember. So, when they are asked, "What is the purpose of DOK?" They can say it in less than 5 seconds...
So, what's the purpose of DOK, Emily? Well, let me tell you...
It is to help middle/high school girls:
FIND Christ
FIND Significance
FIND Victory
There are some points that go with each of those points, but now we can remember it...it's so important to know why we are doing what we are doing, ya know?
Lord, please bless this ministry...please establish the work of our hands (Psalm 90:17)

How Deep...
Well...ok...I'm not the greatest at updating this thing, but I'm going to try again. The Daughters of the King website will, hopefully, be coming up in a couple of months- and I'd like to put this blog on there...as a link...possibly...so, then, I'll really have to keep it updated!
Oh, the Lord continues to show me His deep love...yesterday was Palm Sunday, and I truly experienced it in a completely different way- it's hard to explain what goes on in one's heart in words...so, I probably won't. But, I will just say that His love was demonstrated to me in a new way. Praise the Lord. We sang this song yesterday at our Easter program, and I want to write it out for you: How very deep is His love for us...
How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He would give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss-
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory
Behold the Man upon the cross
My guilt upon His shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no powers, no wisdom,
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom.
Amen- Hosanna to the King
