"Savior, He can move the mountains, my God is mighty to save, He is mighty to save
Forever, author of salvation, He rose and conquered the grave, Jesus conquered the grave!"
We had some good conversation about "Jesus, conquering the grave" this Easter. Emma is certain she has asked Jesus into her heart. Happy and I have wanted her to wait, but she has pressed us and pressed us. One night she asked us how to become a Christian. Happy and I explained it to her...she then said, OK, now pray with me. When she was done praying she had tears in her eyes and was ecstatic that she was a Christian. Not wanting to rush things for our 5 year old, we never did make a HUGE deal of it. We were not even sure she really understood what she was saying. That was a couple months ago. Last week, on the way home from church, Emma asked me if Myah was a Christian. Then she asked if she was. I said, "I don't know Emma, are you?" (Sometimes, Emma just likes to test me on things....). She said, "Mommy don't you remember when me and you and Daddy prayed together? I asked Jesus into my heart that night." It made me feel good to know she had remembered it. So, Emma's journey of faith has begun!
I was given too much change back at McDonald's not too long ago. A ten dollar bill to be exact. I explained to the cashier that I was not giving this ten dollar bill back because I was a good person, but because I was a Christian. He said thank you and I could tell he was shocked I was giving it back and not driving off with extra money in my pocket! But, from the back seat, he also heard...."I'm a Christian too!" "I'm a Christian too!"
I can only trust God that He is using me to impact my children for eternity. They see my good days and my bad days. My prayer for them and for me is that we will continue growing in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior every day. :)
