Throwback Thursday: "I'm Scared!"

Welcome to Throwback Thursday,
Jordyn and I were remembering this moment 13 years ago this evening. What a beautiful time as a momma to witness my child realizing her need to have Jesus living in her heart! I hope you enjoy stepping back in time with me:


May 17, 2006-
This evening, my four-year old came to me with a sob in her voice and tears in her eyes. I asked her what was wrong and she said that she was scared because Jesus didn't live in her heart anymore. My mommy's heart clenched as I saw the anguish that was in her little eyes. I asked her how she knew that Jesus wasn't in her heart. She said, "I was naughty to my parents and did mean things to my friends and Jesus must have went to live in someone else's heart!".

All the times that I have said to myself, " I'm just a mom and don't get a chance to share Jesus." flashed before me and I thought "Wow, I get to share Jesus!"

So we sat down and talked...we talked about believing that Jesus could take all her sins away and how she needed to be truly sorry. Then....sniff,sniff...we prayed! Hearing her sweet little voice ask Jesus to forgive her was the most beautiful sound that I think I have ever heard! When we were all done praying, she had the sweetest look on her face and all the fear was gone from her eyes! Praise the Lord!

I LOVE JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This mommy is going to bed with a light heart and a song on her lips!

How about you? Have you shared Jesus today? Remember, your home is your mission field too!

Have a wonderful weekend,

Heidi
