Salvation


...the faith of a little child...Eden has been asking constant, eternally minded questions since the middle of this summer. Even trivial things like, "Mommy, does God have a potty in heaven?" and "will I see Teta in heaven?" So, Jason and I have been faithfully doing devotions with her and praying that she would realize her own need for Jesus as her personal Saviour. All last week, we did devotions on Adam & Eve, sin, and the Garden of Eden and this past week, we did devotions on what heaven will be like & who can and cannot go to heaven. So, Friday, I'm standing in the kitchen peeling an onion (getting meals ready for the freezer in preparation for Wyatt's birth & homecoming) and I hear "Amen." I turn around & see my sweet face standing in the middle of the dining room (open to the kitchen) with her eyes closed, her head bowed, and her little hands folded. I said, "oh, sweetie, what were you praying about?" and Eden says, "I prayed Jesus into my heart!!!!!" Oh my word! I dropped the onion & immediately went to her & asked her if He came into her heart, why she needed to have Him in her heart, and what kind of heart she had (sinner's heart). What a PRAISE!!!! And, God's PERFECT & MIRACULOUS timing! Please continue to pray that Jason and I will be faithful in spiritually feeding our precious little girl! Praise His Name!!!! "Thank you God, for sending your son, Jesus, to die for my sins, Eden's sins, and the sins of the entire world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
