Stan

Isaiah has been diligently reading his Bible lately.

And he came to breakfast this morning, Bible under his arm, and sat down to eat...and read.

As he was reading, he said,

"Mom, the devil's name is Stan!"

Me,

"What?!!  Stan?  No, Isaiah...it's SATAN."

Hahahaha!

He also asked a million questions about getting baptized, and told me

that he wanted to be baptized too.

I tried to explain, the very best I could, what that means, AND the importance of

first asking Jesus into your heart.

He was all over that idea!

And so, once again, I had the privilege of praying with one of my children to accept Jesus as Savior.

How fabulous is that!

The heavens are rejoicing!

God is going to use this ornery little guy in a very big way, I have no doubt!  

today is the day of salvation

Today is a really big day!!

Macy's Birthday!!

We will celebrate later today and I'll show ya pics afterwards.

BUT...
yesterday was a big day too.

Really big.

For the last couple months Lucy has been talking to me about
having Jesus in her heart.
Well, based on what she would say I knew she hadn't actually
made that decision but was definitely being softened
by the Holy Spirit.

So last night our conversation at bedtime went as usual
until I asked her if she wanted to ASK Jesus
into her heart.

She said YES.

Gasp!!!

But first I wanted to make sure she really understood what
that meant (the best that a 4-year old can comprehend that...which
is actually more than some adults).

So I explained to her that we are sinners and we need a Savior
to forgive us of those sins.

Me,
"Lucy, do you know what sin is?"

Lucy,
"Yes. It's when I hit, spit, and scratch."

Heeheehee.

Yes, those were her exact words.
She apparently does know what sin is.
Good to know.

So we proceeded to pray a prayer of salvation,
and she declared her decision to follow Jesus.

I weep as I write this.

Another soul saved.
Angels are rejoicing right this very minute.

She couldn't contain her excitement and had to get up
and tell her daddy.

He choked up with tears over her life-altering decision
and told her how very happy he was!

She grinned like never before.

And she was so disappointed that her brothers weren't home
to tell them also.
It nearly brought her to tears because she wanted
them to know so badly.

She can announce her news to the world today.

There is NO bigger decision than that.

How about you?

Have YOU made that decision?
