We've prayed for this day since we have known about his existence. Today, my son asked Jesus to come and live in his heart.
**my heart swells with JOY**
Jackson has been asking questions for months. We've had many good conversations about God and what it means to become a Christian. At our church's last baptism, he was upset when Daddy didn't baptize him too. We didn't think he was quite ready at the time. This past week he asked me on two separate occasions when he was going to be a Christian since he believed in God.
Mike and I finally were able to sit down together with him this afternoon. We asked him some tough questions about sin, why Jesus had to die, what it means to be a Christian, why he wanted to be one, etc. His answers were simple, yet dead-on. He was ready. He prayed and told God he knew he was a sinner. He told God he believed that Jesus was His Son and he died to take away the sins and so that he could have a relationship with God. He asked God to live in his heart and help him live a good life for Him.
This proud mama had such tears of joy.
Afterwards, he called his grandparents to share the news and ask them to come to his baptism on September 18th.
We are so proud of you, son!! This is the beginning to a long and beautiful journey with God.
