"I have Jesus in my heart. Everyone does"

Oh the mind of an almost 5 yr old!

I have been horrible at blogging! I love it, wish I was better at it, and at times like this, I know why it was created, yet still horrible at it! Anyway, on to the point...

The other night we had friends over after going out to dinner. Candy (friend) and I were on the floor in Callie's room talking and playing with the kids. Candy was explaining that her husband's grandpa passed away and was tiptoeing (sp?) around how to say it. I told her go ahead and say it, we're pretty honest about things around here. She she was telling Felicity he died and was in heaven, then asked Felicity if she understood that? Which of course Felicity does as she politely replied "well, yeah" as if to say "Duh!" We continued talking a little about Heaven and that not everyone gets to go there; you have to have Jesus in your heart. Praise God for wonderful friends...Candy then asked Felicity "do you have Jesus in your heart?" to which Felicity says "of course I have Jesus in my heart, everyone does" again, as if to say "DUH!" We quickly corrected her and explained to her that you have to make that decision for yourself, etc. Anyway, long story told longer....the conversation went on a few minutes and then Felicity lost interest.

A couple days later I wanted to follow up with Felicity on it, so I of course took her to Starbucks...where else would girls go to chat? :) I brought the topic back up and we discussed it for a few minutes. We brainstormed why Jesus is important (she asked "Is Jesus God's son?" I said yes. She said "Is Jesus God??" I said "that can be hard to understand but yes He is God as well, you can ask about that as you learn more") My Gosh....this girl has got some good questions!! She was asking GREAT questions and we discussed them together, like how we show God we love Him, how and why we pray to Him, etc. Then we got to the part where I explained in detail how you ask Jesus in to your heart and what it entails. I made it seem pretty easy but important and special at the same time, or at least I tried. She said she understood and wanted to do that. "SO, do you want to pray that prayer Felicity?" "Yeah, I Do". "Okay, do you want to do it with me here?" I asked her. "How about we go home after our drinks and go to our own bedrooms and pray by ourselves?" HAHAHA!! She cracks me up. I said we can do it later and to think of more questions if she has them. Then she says "how about we talk about our yummy drinks now?"

So, that is the beginning of Felicity's journey w/ Jesus :) Just had to share b/c I'd like to remember this conversation with her, and again, she just cracks me up!
