Emily Asks Jesus Into Her Heart!!

On Tuesday, June 16th, Emily asked Jesus into her heart! I led her to the Lord that afternoon as we sat on her bed. It all began with a conversation about missing Grampy she started as I was dusting the furniture in her room.

I cannot think of any greater privilege as a parent than leading your child into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. Thank you, God, for this precious opportunity!

We called Daddy at church to let him know and celebrated her "Second Birthday" that night with a yummy chocolate cake, which we ate before dinner! :)

After the cake, Daddy shared Revelation 21 with Emily and "gave" the chapter to her as special verses for her life.

As she prayed to ask Jesus into her heart with me earlier that day, she cried in a way I've never seen (or heard) her cry before... it was as if her spirit really was grieving and understanding what she was doing... it was incredible! As she continues to grow, we will continue to reinforce the decision she made and what Christ did for her when he died on the cross, and her understanding will obviously increase as time goes by.

What a precious day that will forever be imprinted on our minds and hearts!!
