Nothing more precious..........

"Mom,come here!" I usually hear this phrase at least once every night from one or each of my kids. Usually it has to do with homework, laundry or a project that is due the next day and they are asking me if we have a poster board in the house!! You know the drill, those late night trips to Walmart that we all love. I actually had to stop doing that and made them go themselves. It was either that or they had to turn it in late. But tonight Lexi called me in for a different reason..........

I have to say that there is nothing more precious than to hear your teenage daughter asking you to come into her room and finding her reading the bible and asking you to help her to understand the passage! Lexi has been on a journey this summer. It has been difficult at times and we have spent many days talking and crying, and talking and crying some more, but God is clearly at work. Lexi has learned some hard lessons over this past year about integrity, honesty, and what it means to be humble. She has had to suffer some stiff consequences, but her heart is tender and receptive to what the Lord wants to teach her and this is what we have been praying for her for many many years. She has learned about the importance of doing her devotions daily and what that means in her relationship with Christ. It is a beautiful thing to see your child hunger and thirst for righteousness, and to see God answer your prayers. He is Faithful.........and we are Grateful
