"Is Jesus in my heart?"

Hails asked me the other night, "Mom...is Jesus in my heart?"
I replied, "I don't know, Hails...did you invite Him in?"
"No. But I want to."
Needless to say, I was overwhelmed with excitement that all of the "training in righteousness" that Todd and I have been doing has resulted in her wanting Jesus herself.
We've always said that we didn't want to push, but just present the gospel to our kids. After explaining things at a 3-year old level, she insisted that she wanted to pray with Todd and I right then!
Last night Todd and I took Hailey to the bookstore to pick out a Bible. It was no surprise that she chose the pink one with rhinestones on it. ;)
She's been "reading" it ever since...


So sweet. :)
