A Window to Heaven

"Monday 15th January 2007"

Just an ordinary day, going through it's ordinary demands of life with 2 little girls at home. We went to our swimming lessons and attempted to do some school work with little struggle. As plain as it may seem, yesterday was the day that (I am sure), Heavens rocked with music and celebration. I could just imagine the flashy lights, the spendid orchestrated (classical of course!) music, the singing and even the boogey-ing!

Just as we finished the end of the day, read all the books, said all our prayers and I was headed out the girls' bedroom door, Letitia called out in a small voice. "Mom, I have something to tell you!". I turned and thought, right another chat but this will be the last one.

"Mommy, I would like to ask Jesus into my heart!"

The rest was history! Alex and myself saw this little window of tenderness in Letitia as she openly told us she's ready. We tried as much as we could to explain to this 5-6yo the meaning of Salvation and prayed with her. When we finished, she wiped her eyes and told us that she's so happy that the tears came out. Letitia even woke up this morning sayng that she's tired as she was so happy she struggled to sleep last night (though exhausted).

This is the start of our TRUE spiritual journey as parents. We were so excited that we JUST had to blog this. Letitia had just opened a little WINDOW of her heart to GOD. Pray for us! Our prayer is that one day the DOOR will be opened in good timing. Pray that GOD will show us and give us the wisdom to guide her in this journey. Pray that we hold her close and precious to our hearts as GOD intented~ a gift to us.

Letitia's journey in life and to eternity has started. It is always certain that the road will be bumpy, sidetracked, hilly and often torturous. Our prayer is to be there as much as we can. Praise GOD! Let's celebrate Jesus!

p/s Hi dear friends, so sorry for not blogging for such a while. The whirlwind family time came and went. Now trying to get our family life, and schooling in order. Please continue to pray for me. A HUGE task requiring a lot of GOD and a lot of me too! My theme for the next 6mos is "One step of the time & enjoy the girls!".
