Savannah's Life-Changing Prayer

I LOVE having lunch with this sweet girl

Last night as we were playing cards waiting for Dave to get home, a great spiritual dialogue began.  Preston was asking questions about being baptized and accepting Christ which prompted some good conversations with Savannah too. She completed the First Step class at our church a long time ago, but has never expressed to us an interest in being baptized.  We have had lots of talks about how we are all sinners and how asking Jesus into your heart forgives us of our sins, but tonight as she verbally sorted through some details, she says "I think I'm ready to be baptized!"  Hallelujah!  So after basketball practice tonight, when Preston was snugly in bed, Dave and I prayed with her and we are confident she is a Christian! :)  I cant' express how joyful my heart is.  So many people have prayed for her, but according to Savannah she accepted Jesus a long time ago and just didn't tell us.  She is certainly a child that has to reason through the details and we are thankful the Lord has worked in her heart and helped her take the next step!
