For those of you who are VBS'd out you probably won't care anything about seeing this post! Drew has loved VBS this year, mostly because the theme has to do with trains which are his favorite thing! He has been to 2 VBS's already and has one more to go, our churches is July 13-17. This year he has ask many questions about Jesus and salvation. He is not ready to make a decision yet but it has been so exciting to see that he is beginning to focus in on his need for a Savior. This is exciting and scary all at the same time. As parents we feel so burdened with the responsibility of modeling Christ likeness for him and showing him his need for Jesus. I look forward to being able to disciple our son in his walk with the Lord.
Tonight we had our first "family devotion" time with the 4 of us. We used Drew's new "big boy" Bible that has brief devotion lessons in it. The one we did was about holding grudges and forgiveness. It was really good because we were able to talk about Jesus forgiving us and dieing on the cross for our sins. At the end of the devotion I ask him who he wanted to pray tonight, usually he will not do it but wants me or Jim to do it. Well he ask me to, so I prayed. When I got done he said it was his turn and he prayed the sweetest little prayer thanking God for his mommy, daddy, and for his brother JC. It just about made me cry! He is growing up so fast! He then told Jim it was his turn to pray, so he made everyone pray, except JC but I am thinking since he cannot talk yet that got him off the hook!
Now please understand that while he performs for the camera he most certainly will not do this live at church! He gets such stage fright and just refuses to do it when he thinks people may be watching him, but he sure doesn't mind hamming it up for the camera or showing everyone his videos!
