Conversation About Heaven

One day last week we were in the car going somewhere (who knows where? ;o)) and Kotah asked me, Mom, I'm going to Heaven right? But not Gavin?
Me: What are you talking about? (trying not to laugh at the face and hand motions that went with that question!!!)
Kotah: Gavin doesn't get to go to Heaven, just me, because Jesus loves ME!!!
Me: Well honey, we all get to go to Heaven if we ask Jesus in our hearts. BUT we need to ask Him in our hearts first. Mommy and daddy asked Jesus in their hearts, so we will get to go to Heaven.
Kotah: Oh, how do you do that?
Me: When we pray we just ask Jesus to live with us and then we ask Him to help us do what it is right. Like, obey mommy and daddy, not to fight with your brother or sister...
Kotah: So I can pray that tonite when I go to bed?
Me: You can pray anytime sweetie. It doesn't have to be right before bed, we can pray WHENEVER and WHERE EVER!!! You can pray right now if you want. Or when we get home...
Kotah: Oh, okay.

That was the end of it. But you should have seen the hand motions and face that went with that question! She was so matter of fact and like, Gavin doesn't get to go to Heaven. I was trying so hard not to laugh at the face and hand motions! It was neat talking with her about how to ask Jesus in her heart and somewhat understand HOW we get to Heaven.

I'm here to tell you that I have some of the BEST conversations with my girls while we are driving. I have actually made a point to try and NOT use my cell phone in the car when there are with me because I don't want to miss out on the awesome conversation.

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to kettle bell class and I died...  I honestly haven&#

Ultrasound

First of all, thank you ladies for all those sweet comments you made on my last post! How sweet you are for saying those things! Made my day!!! :O) Second, went for the ultrasound on Monday and everything is fine! WHOO HOO!!!!! No more placenta previa!!!! The baby weighs about 2 1/2 lbs, and everything looks good! We took the kids with us so they could see their baby brother/sister, they LOVED it!! Gavin was FULL of questions though! What's that stuff she put on mommy's belly? Why do the lights needs to be off? I only see one eye. Where's the other eye? What was that, is that his hand or leg? Oh my.... ;o) The tech ended up putting up a 4D on the screen, so that was really cool to see! The cord was kinda in the way, but I still think it was awesome! I didn't have that with any of the other kids!!! :O) Maybe the trick is taking 3 other siblings in to see the 4th!!! ;o) I also only gained a pound, which I am trying to figure out, seeings how I pretty m

Grandma

Grandma passed away this morning at 1:35 am. She had been totally un-responsive for the past couple of days. Yesterday we got a call and said she only had an hour, they said they made the mistake and grandma heard them, so she kept hanging on! Her feet had been cold and almost black, but they were starting to get warm and she was taking more breaths, but still very shallow. Finally she gave in and went home! The family seems to be doing ok, just please keep them in your prayers! The viewing will be Sunday and the funeral on Monday. I am not sure of the times yet, they are meeting with the funeral director in an hour. I am not going to be at the musical practice Monday nite, so Sandy May and Jena R are in charge that nite! I will have the lines assigned so the kids will know what their parts will be! Please help them out this week!!!! Thank you!!!! Thanks again for all of your prayers!!!!
