The Easter Song

Carlie made up an Easter song, which I had to video because I thought it was just too cute not to share. Her heart is truly in the right place. Two nights ago while doing our Bible time the question was asked, "what is the ending to our story?" When I asked Carlie, she told me "she was going to hell." My heart literally stopped. Of course, I tried not to panic (too much) and asked her why she would say that? And she said because she hasn't asked Jesus in to my heart and asked Him for forgiveness. At this point, she breaks into crocodile tears and says she "really wants to go to Heaven." At this point, I am crying, and I say, "Darling, let's ask Jesus into your heart right now." We prayed together and after we were done her face was glowing with a huge, tear stained smile. She told me she felt warm inside. My adult logic is skeptical that she really knows what all this means, but my gut-heart-mom insides tell me she really does know. At this point, we are going to look into getting her baptized. I am not sure if we'll do in front of our church, or perhaps just our House Church, she is really nervous about being wet in front of people. Funny, that's the same comment her dad had about baptism. Keep praying for our family. We're growing in ways God can only understand, and I am going to continue trusting in hopes that I don't miss any of His blessings along the way.
