A couple of things that I quickly wanted to post about and then later this week I will post a vacation post with pictures and all...
The best thing of all is that my 5 year old was saved a couple of days before we went on vacation!!! I was so excited and thrilled to have the opportunity to lead her to the Lord!! What a moment it was. On Sunday our Pastor had mentioned that there was a new track rack put up in the church. On my way out I decided to pick up a few and bring them home. Well Victoria wanted to look through it so I let her and didn't think much of it at all. On Monday night she asked me to read it to her after our family devo time and I told her no because it was so late and she needed to get to bed. The same thing happened again on Tuesday night. After I told her no, I sat down at the kitchen table and the Holy Spirit grabbed a hold of my heart. I went back in and asked her if I could read the track to her. I simplified it the best I could and about 1/2 way through she started crying and looked at me and said she wasn't saved and needed to be saved. I prayed then to myself that I would be able to lead her to Christ and keep a clear mind! I was so excited but I wanted to make sure that she knew what she was doing. We prayed and to this day I really do believe that she is saved. It has even made a difference in her obedience here at home. I am thankful that she is saved and that one day we will be in heaven together!!!
The second thing I wanted to post about was how thankful I am for family and friends. While we were gone there were some crazy storms that went through our area. It was nice to know that our home was being watched and taken care of. I don't even know if anyone reads this blog that helped us out...but our lawn was mowed twice by Kevin's cousin, our flowers where watered by our friends, Kevin's dad stopped by on a daily basis just to check things out and another friend of ours cleaned our entire home!! It was nice to come home to it all being taken care of!! What a blessing!!
