Last night my daughter (who is 8) accepted Christ. She has been wanting to do it for a while but we wanted to make sure she was ready. She is so smart and she knows in her head that this is what she is supposed to do. But, we wanted to make sure she was under conviction by the Holy Spirit. We thought that maybe we were too close to her to really see, so we decided to let her talk with our Pastor, Bro. Jerry. After talking with her for a few minutes, he led her to Christ. Now our whole family is saved and on our way to Heaven! I am so proud of my little girl. She is so grown up in so many ways.
"But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 19:14
The service last night was different. We had a singer/songwriter Mark Lanier. It was a very moving service and both of my kids (and most of the church) were in tears. Both of our kids were touched by a lot of the songs. Mark writes a lot of his own songs and he is very "ministry minded". He thinks about how his songs are going to get the gospel message across to people. http://www.marklanierministries.com
Matthew has started school with GCA (Georgia Cyber Academy). He hasn't had to do a lot of work yet, it is still in the orientation phase. Hopefully this week he will get his assignments and get started. I think he will like it once he sees it's nothing like public school. He still has good days and bad days, we are working on trying to have more good days than bad. ;-)

Oh, and one more good thing to add. I started Weight Watchers January 1st and so far I have lost 5 lbs. It is a slow start. Usually when I start a diet or change my eating habits I drop the weight alot quicker, but I do realize that as I get older it may not be as easy. I am not discouraged but encouraged by this, because I am 5 lbs lighter than I was 2 weeks ago!
