Abby's first picture as a Christian!
Today Abby asked Jesus to be Lord of her life! For about 4 months she has been very interested and asking a lot of questions about Jesus--she seemed to really start to make sense of it all. But Greg and I were in NO hurry and didn't want to push her so we have really been waiting and watching for the perfect time! Well today was the day and without a doubt she gets it--finally we see the heart connection--it's just beautiful!
Well here's how it happened-
We were out today on a family outing because Greg was off work and right before we got to the park Abby begins to tell us about church yesterday and how they talked about washing their sins away. The next thing we know she is asking us to pray to Jesus right now! Well Greg didn't hesitate--he pulled over the car and she prayed right there in the parking lot and asked Jesus to come into her life and be Lord and forgive her of her sins---amazing!
I must say not only is this the biggest day of her life but also for Greg and I! We have been praying everyday for her to come to know the Lord at an early age and truly live a life sold out for Christ and to watch our prayers being answered was thrilling!
All day long she kept asking me if she looked different now that she was a Christian---adorable!
My favorite thing - whenever she would get upset for not "acting like Christ" she would say, "oh sorry, I forgot I'm a Christian now!"
Well tomorrow is the first day of her new life with Christ and we covet all of your prayers--she already shows great sensitivity toward the Lord and His Word but we also know Satan is real and is out to get those who live for God! I am excited to watch the Lord at work in her life it is gonna be amazing! -Thank you Jesus!

How awesome! What a wonderful day for you and Abby. That was a wonderful idea to have a party for her to share her decision. I will have to remember that for when our boys accept Christ.
That is such great news!! It's so wonderful that you have documented this day, so Abby will always have this history to look back on.
Tears dangle at the corner of my eyes. AWESOME!!!!!!
