For those who don't know, Kennedy is my 6 year old. She prayed on June 4th to receive Christ. She has prayed before, but she didn't really "get it". Well that Wednesday night she was asking a lot of questions, so when we got home, we got out our bibles and I took her through the Romans Road and we talked about each step. I asked if she wanted to talk to the children's pastor some more or pray and she said talk to the pastor. But before bedtime, she said, "Mommy, I want to pray." I said, "OK" because she says the prayer most nights anyway. She said, "No, I want to pray THAT prayer." So I led her through the prayer and she repeated it and we talked about it some more with lots of hugs and a few tears. Then I tucked Cadence (her 4 year old sister) into bed and came back to Kennedy and she was just beaming. I said, "Why are you so happy?" Her answer was, "Because now I know I am going to live in heaven with Jesus." So we met with the Children's pastor the next week so he could get a gauge on her level of understanding and he said to me, "Mom, she got it. She has a full understanding of what she did and it was sincere." Wow!!!! She is going to be baptized on June 29th. GO KENNEDY!!!!!!!!! And how blessed do I feel to have been there and experience it with her?!?!?! I told some of you about this already, but just had to share with the rest of the world, JUST HOW EXCITED I AM!!!!!
I can't wait to watch how the Lord will work in Kennedy's life. She is in for some amazing times ahead. Not always easy, but amazing.
Thank you all for being a blessing to me and those of you who know Kennedy personally, thank you for being in her life.
God Bless!
