Madelyn and Jesus

Sorry for the ranting yesterday. Thanks for not holding it against me!

Today our sweet Madelyn accepted Jesus into her heart!!!! It was the sweetest thing. We were reading books and she blurted out that a girl in her VBS class had to go talk to Mr. Kolby's wife (He is our children's paster) because she asked Jesus into her heart. So I told her, like I have many times before, that when she is ready to talk about that just tell mommy or daddy. She said she was ready so I talked to her and she said she needed Jesus in heart because of her sins. Jarrett took a half day off today because we were speaking at the Crisis Pregnancy Outreach workshop. So he came in the room and we walked her through some illustrations and she said she was ready. Nathan helped talk to Madelyn about Christ as well. It was precious. He could tell her things so she could understand. Sometimes us adults just try to make things way to complicated. We all got on our knees and Daddy led her in a prayer. We realized that it was exactly a year ago today that Nathan asked Jesus into his heart! She was so excited! She called her grandparents and told my parents in person when we got there this afternoon!! We are going to have both kids talk with Kolby and then schedule Baptism.

As a parent this was one of the best days of my life. I know she is young but I think her child like faith is amazing. She isn't jaded!
