Gabriella's Big News!!!

I totally get why the Word tells us to have faith like children…

Gabriella is naturally expressive and very passionate about things. She has been passionate about Jesus and the truth of who He is honestly since she could talk. She has wanted to ask Jesus into her life for some time now. I kept putting this off just due to her being so young and wanting to make sure that she understood. Chris and I have both had conversations with her and she knows and believes the truth, but again we have just waited – well due to our lack of faith because she is 4. Well, yesterday she was done with me putting her off until she, daddy, and I could talk once again….this is her salvation story!

“Mommy, I know that you are having your Bible time and I am not allowed to talk to you, right?” That’s right Gabriella. “Well, I have a reeeeaaaalllly important question.” What is it Gabs? “When do I get to have my Bible time?” We will do that tonight. “Well, I want to talk about becoming a Christian really bad. I do not want to wait for Daddy.” Ok let mom finish my Bible time and we will talk about it. “Well mom, I am just going to ask Jesus in my heart right now.” Ok so the girl is ready and this time I am not going to stop the spirit of God from moving in her life… I put my Bible study down and asked….Gab, tell me why you want to ask Jesus in your heart and be a Christian so bad? “Jesus died on the cross for my sins. Sin is my bad choices and I do not like to make bad choices. He was on the cross and he died. His mom was Mary and she was so sad and she cried. Mom, no one even gave Him medicine at all. His Father who is in heaven just breathed like this (she put her hands to her mouth and blew) and brought Him back to life. No one even helped Him it was only His Father. Really? Wow Gab.. Where is Jesus now if He came back to life? “He is in heaven with His Father but they are the same God too.” What about us? I thought that someone was going to stay here and help us? “That is the other God, but He is the same too… like the other 2 Gods.” Gab, why do you want to ask Jesus into your life? “Mommy, because I want to be with God really bad and I do not want to make bad choices anymore.”

Needless to say, we got on our knees and my sweet baby girl prayed from the depths of her soul and gave her life to Jesus!

PRAISE THE LORD!!!
