simply amazing

alrighty i think i'm a little more sane today.  :)  yesterday was pretty bad but there's always something to be thankful for.... emilie had a great day at school (yay!) - even though a little boy named ethan keeps grabbing her.... i got to run some errands this morning while she was in class.... and elizabeth, though coughing most of the night, didn't barf on my bed.  that is ALWAYS a plus.  :)

but most importantly, something wonderful happened this morning.
emilie woke up next to me and said, "mommy, i have to ask jesus into my stomach."
me, very groggy.  "what emilie?"
"jesus has to come in my belly."
"you mean, into your heart"?
"yes. yes, mommy.  into my heart."
i was still waking up but not too out of it to realize something very important was happening.
"ok let's pray.  dear jesus, please come into my heart."  i couldn't remember what else i said, but at the end of the prayer, emilie was very quiet and said, "amen.  i love jesus so much."

if i wasn't so out of it, i think i would've cried tears of joy....

i don't know how much her 3 1/2 yr old mind understands, but i do know she gets that jesus "rescues" us when we do bad things since we've talked about it on more than one occasion in the past.  it is simply amazing.  god is amazing and able to reach even the littlest of children!
