What is even better than selling our house???

After signing all the paperwork last week to sell our house, I didn't think that life could get much better. But it did get better- so much better. On Friday night during our family devotion, Lauren told me that she wanted to ask Jesus into her heart. I spent some time questioning her, trying to be sure she understood what that meant. I've been going to a Wed. night class at church on Leading Your Child to the Lord, so this couldn't have come at a better time. After determing that Lauren did have a good grasp on what becoming a Christian meant, we prayed together and it was such a special, sweet time. I will never forget sitting in Sunday School when Lauren was a baby, and our teacher, Dr. Reid (for those who know him), talked about being intentional in your parenting and modeling your faith to your child. It was like a light bulb went on for us and Jason and I realized that we couldn't just take things as they came in parenting, but we had to have a plan. One of the things that we've been hearing a lot about is praying scripture over your child. Yesterday, our pastor suggested 2 Timothy 2:22. It sums up our prayer for our girls, that they would pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace from a pure heart. Also, in case you'd like to read them, the Wed night teacher recommended Leading Your Child to Christ by David Staal and The Faith of a Child by Art Murphy.
