My heart sings with joy tonight! We couldn't be more blessed! God has answered another one or our prayers. Raina asked Jesus into her heart tonight!
We don't talk about salvation all that often, and sometimes I wonder if it's often enough. On the other hand, we make a conscious effort not to guilt our kids into "praying the prayer", or to pressure them in any way. We truly believe any conversion has to be the work of God Himself. And tonight His presence was tangible.
Malia and Raina got into a big fight. All because Malia did not want help Raina put on her pj's. I'm not sure what exactly happened. Let's just say there was some hitting, kicking and biting involved, with lots of tears. Both girls got timeout and a good talking to. Nothing irritates this mama more than scratching, hair pulling and worst of all...biting! As always they had to say sorry to each other. I could tell both girls were still feeling horrible about their behaviour, so I suggested they talk to God. Raina began praying and totally blew me away. She prayed, with tears rolling down her face, "Dear God please come into my heart. Amen".
There are no words. Just a lot of humble gratitude!...and maybe a few tears of joy! :)

That picture is worth a 1000 words...such joy!
Sometimes it is tough to parent...we have some of the same sibling issues (minus biting) but those days are never easy. So awesome to know that your little one has heard what you have been teaching and opened her heart! Amazing grace abounds!
YAY!!! praising the Lord with you guys...so excited that she asked Jesus into her heart. :)
Love the picture by the way.
