The Princess

Well this week has been a whirlwind! But a fantastic whirlwind :) The Princess got up Monday morning and informed me that she had 'asked God into my heart by saying the sinner's prayer'. I could not have been any happier! Wow! I asked of course all the details and why she didn't come downstairs to let us know. Her response: 'Well Daddy doesn't like us to get up from bed after he turns out the light'. Such the rule follower :) I told her I had been praying for her and her salvation since I knew I was pregnant for her. Some day I will have such a wonderful story to tell her. I totally believe God has something special in store for our sweet little girl. I prayed for her when I first found out I was pregnant. I prayed that I would keep her whenever there where 'choices' given to me about my pregnancy. I didn't even know there were 'choices' at the time! I fought for her. I loved her. I couldn't imagine my world without her. She is the most amazing little blessing I have ever had! Look what God has done! What an amazing gift she is to all of us. She is a beautiful, talented, bright little princess. But most importantly she's God's princess!
Today the Princess was baptized! When we were explaining what baptism is, she went on to tell the story of John the Baptist in the Jordan River. So amazing how kids remember all the details! When she was being baptized, our pastor asked her if she had given her life to Jesus. She answered with a confident and loud YES! I am amazed at the remarkable young lady God has made her. She will be eight years old in just 22 short days. I can't believe it! God gave me the strength to fight for her and I cannot wait to see what He has planned for His Princess!
