Last Friday, August 12, my "little" Bekah asked Jesus into her heart. Bekah has talked about doing it many times but at the end of every discussion always let us know that she didnt want to ask for forgiveness and ask Jesus in her heart. That was fine with us as she is still young, but last Friday she brought up the subject 3 different times before finally asking if she could ask him to live in her heart. She was actually playing outside with Grandma and her siblings when she stopped to ask me if I would help her do it. That is when I realized she was serious about this decision. She wanted to go inside and do it privately. I wanted her to wait until Daddy was home too but she insisted only I could help her. She was so excited after asking Jesus in her heart but she did not want me to tell everyone or make any deal out of it. Bekah does not enjoy being praised in front of anyone other than the praiser so that is why she didnt want to tell everyone. She is so excited though that she will get to go to heaven someday. Everyday since she wakes up and asks if Jesus is coming back that day. She cannot wait to see heaven because there will be sandboxes without stray cat poop and a giant fair with all of her favorite rides that do not cost any tickets. At first, she was a little scared about Jesus taking her to heaven because she was afraid he would take her by airplane, but then she realized that he will fly her himself without squishing her. I will say that having my little girl talking about Jesus returning has helped me think about it more too. It is amazing how I could forget about something that could happen any day any minute! I even realized that I doubted it would ever happen in my lifetime or my children's lifetime. But Bekah is right it could be today!! Faith of a child can teach us so much!!
