Today my sweet Taylor asked Jesus to be her Savior. It was so precious and sweet. We have been praying since Taylor was born that our children would know the Lord at a young age. I am so thankful to God!!! This made my day!!!
Let me back up a little. When Taylor was 2 years old during Christmas I was reading a book to her about how the candy cane stands for Jesus. I told her then that Jesus could live in her heart she just had to ask. She immediately responded with "Jesus in my heart, Amen" It was so sweet and precious. I was beyond excited! When I told Nathan about it he didn't feel like she really was saved b/c she was to young to know anything different. I felt differently because I was there and heard her heart and saw her when she prayed on her own. Maybe she was to young I don't know... after today I feel like she really was saved then. But we will probably tell her both stories b/c they are equally important. So now back to today... we've been talking about Easter and reading stories in our homschool and Taylor has been asking me sooo many questions and really trying to understand Jesus dying on the cross and His resurrection. Well as I was explaining it all to her... She asked if we would go to heaven when we die and said Yes if Jesus is in your heart. She responded with Oh Good cause I have Jesus in my heart! I told her that we have to pray and ask Jesus and she insisted that she had already prayed and had Jesus living in her heart. But then told me that she would pray with my anyway. It was so cute and sweet! She seemed to really know what we were talking about and was very matter of fact about it. She was very proud of herself and told her Nana on the phone and her Daddy when he came home from work. I'm so proud of her and so thankful to God that He sent His Son to die for us so that we are saved by His grace!
