Ashley asks Jesus in her heart

Monday, August 25th started out like any other school night. We gave the kids their baths, and did family devotion time. That night we were reading about Adam and Eve and how they sinned and disobeyed God. We talked about how that sin separated them from God and that they had to leave the garden of Eden. After that it was off to bed. Mark went to put Ashley to bed. While there, Ashley was asking Mark questions about heaven. She said Jesus was in her heart, but she wanted to make sure she got to go to heaven. Then Mark called me in. We explained to Ashley that when we sin we are separated from God, and that we need a Savior to clean that sin out of our heart so we can go to heaven someday when God calls us home. We then reminded her of that Savior that she already knew, Jesus, who died on the cross to be able to take away our sins. We then prayed with her. She confessed her sin and asked Jesus to live in her heart. What a sweet moment!!! To have both Mark and I there during the most important decision she will ever make was amazing! I am so thankful to God for working in her little heart. It is such an amazing blessing to be a part of this journey she will have as she learns to follow Jesus. We would appreciate your prayers for Ashley as we know she will have many struggles learning to take the narrow road.
