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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Countdown to baby "Wy"

Well, I guess you could say I nested today? Or Jason nested for me...? Probably more like the latter. Lawn was mowed, carpet vacuumed, the window above our front door (that's probably never, or at least not since it was built in '05) was cleaned, the ceiling fans were "de-summerized" (yuck, white ceiling fans show so much summer dust)! Laundry, hmmm, what else...patched nail holes where pictures are being moved/rearranged!

Poor J, right? Not to mention (yes, some of you will say, "how cold-hearted" or non-empathetic), Jason has 9 stitches in his right wrist from an accident at work on Thursday. He was carrying x-braces at work and sliced his wrist (not on purpose :-) on some banding that was wrapped around the braces...anyway...blood everywhere and the dr. first thought he may have severed his tendon...praise the Lord he was protected & it wasn't that bad. Just deep! But not deep enough to get that tendon. The tetnus shot he had to get is giving him more problems & pain than the cut!!! Anyway, so I say "boo-hoo, get to work." Just kidding.

Less than 3 weeks until Wyatt makes his appearance into the world...and much to do; not to mention Teta will be here in 16 days!!! Yay; I'm so thankful I'll have help for a few days once we're home from the hospital! Eden's pretty excited too!

Now, if I could just get my hospital bag packed & diapers purchased!!!!
