Today my oldest 2 kiddos went down to the front of our nine30 service to let everyone know they had asked Jesus into their hearts.
We have all prayed for Makenna's heart to be obedient to following through with baptism for a few years. Tracen, of all people, helped her to be brave.
On March 31st, in the car, Tracen told me that he was talking to God in his bed the "udder" night. I asked him what he said and he told me these words,
"I told Jesus I do bad things, but would He come into my heart."
The tiniest of faiths can move the heart of our God.
And the heart of a mother.
So we chatted for a bit, asked and answered a lot of questions, and then prayed together. I asked him what he should do next, and he told me he needed to be baptized because Jesus says to.
I am so proud of his little heart, and so proud of my sweet girl.
We have been talking about it for a loooooong time, and she told me she wanted to be baptized. She wanted all of us in her room to pray together, and she nailed it down on April 5. She understands that she needed to tell everyone, so we all walked down this morning.
Such prayers answered, and such a huge responsibility to teach and disciple them, as we have been doing, more and more.
The first step, only to be followed by a million more on each of their journeys to the feet of Jesus one day.
Wow, God.
Come to Jesus, and live.

Your children brought tears to my eyes this morning as does your blog post now. I love the part about 'the journey to the feet of Jesus.' Beautiful. So happy for your family. Well done and keep it up!
What a beautiful day for your family. I know we look forward to that day for our boys as well.
I'm so excited for their steps of obedienceand their choices for life! Praise God for answering our prayers for our big kids!
I loved this post! So Sweet!! I miss you guys!!
I was crying as well...shocker! So proud of them! There was a moment that Makenna turned and looked at Wesley and I. She was so proud and beaming! It was so sweet to see Wesley excited to have another sister in Christ! I'm not sure if I can wait until May 9th for all these babies to show their obedience to the world! Let's invest in Kleenex before then!
Praise Him! SO cool!!
