We had a very exciting day today! Kara has asked Jesus into her heart! Here is how it happened. Dan and Kara were watching a show about truckers in Alaska, who have to drive very heavy loads over large sheets of ice with water underneath. There is a chance that the ice could crack and the trucks could plunge into the water. I was sitting on the floor cutting coupons and here is the conversation I heard going on. Kara said to Dan, " I don't want them to fall in because they won't go to heaven." Dan replied back by saying "Not necessarily, It depends on if they have Jesus in their heart whether they will go to heaven or hell." Kara said "I've never asked Jesus into my heart. Tell me how to ask Jesus into my heart." (Up until this point when we would pray at night I would pray that Kara would have Jesus in her heart and she would say, "Mommy I do have Jesus in my heart") Dan talked to her about being a sinner and asking God to forgive her of her sins. He also talked about why Jesus died on the cross, the Holy Spirit and the Fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Then Dan prayed with her and she asked Jesus to come into her heart. Dan and I were so happy for Kara and will continue to pray for God's will for her. (Don't forget to click on the pics to see them big)

Isn't it so precious that God's plan for salvation is simple enough for a child to understand? I love that! PTL! P.S. that picture with the sign and date was such a good idea. I hope to steal it (the idea) someday!
