Jonathan Born Again...A Beautiful Day!!!

Just tonight, Jonathan asked Jesus into his heart. Praise God!!! It was quite amazing. Jonathan was in the bathtub and said that he wanted to get baptized. We told him you have to ask Jesus into your heart first before you get baptized. So Jonathan, right there in the bathtub, bowed his head and prayed for Jesus to come into his heart. Song and I looked at each other and said, "Does that count?" Of course it counts! What a childlike faith coming to Jesus in such an innocent way!!! Well, after bath, we took Jonathan to bed and read some verses from the Bible (all of which Jonathan recited before we even read them), and then we prayed as a family. We could not be any more thrilled than to call Jonathan our brother in Christ. It was so sweet to hear Jonathan say, "I've got to tell all my friends, I've got to tell William, I've got to tell everybody." You go boy, go tell the world just like Jesus told us to do!

  2. I cried when I saw him go forward yesterday morning! It is hard to sometimes to believe that they can believe so easily. I'm glad you were there for it; both the boys accepted when I wasn't around and I really miss that.
