How My Good Friday Turned into a GREAT Friday

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

Today is a milestone in our family: Chloe tonight asked Jesus into her heart. I asked her the other day if she wanted Jesus in her heart & she said that she wanted to wait until Easter. Then this morning, she asked me if we could pray “right now.” I got a little choked [...]

Me: Who?
Chloe: Jesus. He prays for us.
Me: *WOW!* Yes, He does, Sweetie.
Chloe: Jesus is praying for our [...]

The Sweetness of a Child

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

So about a month ago, I thought it would be good to explain to Chloe about homeless boys & girls. I’m not gonna lie–I almost cried once I saw that she understood the seriousness of the matter.

Me: Sweetie, did you know that [...]
