My little girl

My little girl started asking a lot of questions today about God. I took her for a walk in the woods and I talked with her about what salvation means, why sin separates us from God, what grace through faith was and how to know if you are saved. I asked her if she was ready to ask Jesus to be the Lord of her life and she said she wanted to think about it some more. The more we walked, the more questions she asked. She says she understands that she has sin in her life and it keeps her from God. She says she believes Jesus was God's son and that he came to suffer and die for her. Finally, as we almost made it home, she said she was ready and we prayed right there. It was very sweet. I truly think she understands and made a decision tonight.

That's great that you were the one with her. You will always have that. I know from experience how special that is. Got one more who has not started asking yet.

Thanks Ya'll..it meant a lot for me.

She has asked questions before and said she wanted Jesus in her heart, but i didn't think she understood enough to know the decision she was making. I believe she does now. She wasn't spitting back something she heard, she was speaking in her own words from her heart. It made me cry.

Now she wants to be baptized right away! I guess we will talk to the youth minister Wednesday.
