The Rest of the Story

Thank you all for your sweet comments about Erin's big news - I'm going to try and figure out a way to print them out for her keepsake. Last Tuesday we were heading into the grocery store and Erin stopped and prayed one of her random prayers that she does throughout the day. She has been doing that a lot lately and also asking a lot of questions about God. After her prayer she asked me if everyone went to heaven and I told her no, only people that believe in Jesus and ask Him into their heart. I then asked her if she had done that and she shrugged her shoulders and said no. I didn't push the conversation since we are on our way in to the grocery store.

That night at dinner I brought it up again and asked her to tell Daddy her question. She repeated it and then repeated my answer. We asked her if she knew what Jesus did for her and she responded with He died on the cross for my sin. She told us what sin was and we truly felt she grasped it all. So we asked her if she would like to ask Jesus into her heart. She said yes, and immediately bowed her head and led herself in the salvation prayer. We just kind of looked at each other in shock, but pure joy. She was so excited after that and she's had so much fun telling everyone that she asked Jesus into her heart so she can go to heaven! We thank the Lord that she has made this decision very early on and will grow up knowing Jesus as her personal Lord and Saviour - what more could we ask for?
