rejoice

Kaden made a BIG decision tonight. I knew it was soon in coming, as he's been talking about it for weeks, but July 7th was THE day. He pleaded and begged for us to pray with him so that he could ask Jesus in his heart because he didn't want to be a sinner anymore. He wanted to be saved. He had asked many times before, and after we peppered him with questions, we could easily distract him. But not today. "Today," he said, "I don't want to wait anymore! I want to pray RIGHT NOW!" And Daddy had the honor of praying with the last of our children to receive Christ as their Savior. What a glorious moment it was!!!!! (As Kylee said, "Oh, Mommy - this is such a precious moment!")

To add to the joy, Jim's family was still in town and Kaden, with tears in his eyes, got to announce to them his wonderful news. We rejoiced and cried together. Kaden was filled with unspeakable joy - his smile couldn't be any wider, his eyes couldn't be any brighter. He believed, he is saved and he is looking forward to heaven!!!
