good to be back

Hello all,

Been quite some time since I have written. Honestly, I had reached a point of computer burn out. Didn't want to sit in front of the computer, didn't really email, and basically haven't communicated much. Been working hard on restructuring things in my life (ie, having too much to do and not doing any of it) and figuring out what my priorities really are. So, all that said, I missed blogging and looking forward to writing more.

The biggest story I want to tell you is that Ben accepted Christ as his Savior (this happened actually in the middle of the summer and I totally spaced telling you all the good news).

Ben was sitting in his room playing with his cars. I walked in to check on him and he told me a little story about trucks flying through the air. After the truck story this is how the conversation went.

Ben: Mommy, I have Jesus in my heart(he took his little hands and covered his heart).
Me: Oh Ben that is wonderful. I am so happy. When did you accept Jesus?
Ben: At school with Tia Gabby(his teacher).
Me: Really.
Ben: Yes! Jesus es muy fuerte, podoroso, y tiene ojos lindas y tranquillo. Y Jesus esta en mi corozon(Ben did say this all in Spanish. The translation is: Jesus is very strong, mighty, and has eyes that are kind and peaceful. Jesus is in my heart).
Me: wow Ben.
Ben: My heart was black and he washed it clean like this (he pretended to wash his heart). Mommy is Jesus in your heart?
Me: Yes Ben he is.
Ben: That's good because I wouldn't want you to have a black heart. Ok?

I was very excited for Ben. For me it was a reminder too that God speaks all languages. Both Naomi and Ben accepted Christ as their Savior in Spanish. I am thankful too for the teachers who shared the Gospel with my children and were able to solidify what we had been teaching at home.

WOOHOO!!!
