Rhett’s BIG day!!! **MUST READ**

I have a new brother in Christ today! 7-27-11

RHETT!!!

He’s been asking questions for a while now and I’ve just been answering his questions, praying for him and telling him to let me know when he’s ready.

He came home from VBS today with some fresh questions and wanted to talk about asking Jesus into his heart. I told him again, “you just tell me when you’re ready”.

About 5 minutes later, he came into the kitchen, where I was doing dishes, with a folded up note. He told me that after he left the room, I could look at the note.

As I read the words he wrote,  tears filled my eyes. He walked back into the kitchen and when he saw that I had read the note, he had a huge smile on his face.

We went and sat on my bed and shut the door so we could have quiet to talk and for about 30 minutes, we talked and asked each other questions.

My boy that has never had an attention span longer than 5 minutes, sat riveted on my every word with a big smile on his face. I probably could’ve explained things to him for another hour and he never would’ve even squirmed. He was very interested in what we were talking about.

After our conversation, I knew he was ready.

He prayed the sweetest, most mature prayer I’d ever heard him pray and I wish I would’ve captured the look on his face when he said, “Amen”, opened his eyes and looked up at me. He almost looked like he was glowing!

We snuggled up as I prayed for him and then we just had a sweet few moments of me crying and him giggling.

He was so excited, he couldn’t wait to tell his brother and his Daddy and then he wanted to call everyone! He even told me he wanted me to put it on the blog so everyone would know!

I’ll never forget this day!

Thank you Lord!! I can’t wait to see what you do in this sweet boy’s life!
