Salvation is a Big Word but I am Not Too Small...


Brock asked the Lord to come into his heart and wash away his sins this past Wed. I wasn't there when it happened as he was spending his normal Wednesday with his G'ma Cary. So I will just try to recount what was told to me. Apparently they were on their way home from Costco and they were talking in the car when Brock said something about the song "Jesus Loves Me". He said ya know the part that says " He washes me when I lie" , we've figured that he misunderstands the line that says "watch me where I lie". So if he misunderstands that's ok because it seems to have lead to his salvation. Anyway...they started talking about sins and what they were and that the Lord would wash your sins away and Joyce says that it was just like he started to connect all the dots. So she told him that he could be saved and asked if he would want to do that. He readily said yes! So they pulled up at home and she asked him if he would like to have Daddy and Papa come in from the office to all pray together. He liked that idea too, so after getting them from the office they all came in and knelt down and Brock prayed and asked the Lord to come into his heart and wash his sins away. That little prayer was such a wonderful answer of prayers that we have been praying now for...well...I guess since the day we found out we were expecting this little one. "There is joy in the presence of the angles of God over one sinner that repenteth" Luke 15:10

Oh how wonderful. I am so happy for you all and Broc. That is my prayer each day, that my two would come to know the Lord as their Saviour.
