Exciting news - Short and sweet!
Another NON- adoption blog post! But, this HAD to be documented. And, since I am not a journal person, or a blogger (this doesn't really count does it?), I will document it here! Last night in the Richey house was a big one! Tuesday nights I am not home because I am busy making people want to puke at Crossfit Endurance classes (yes, I find pure joy in this!). So, unfortunately, I missed the biggest thing to happen at our house yet. But, I got the full report when I got home. Last night, our sweet sweet Jack made a decision that will change his life forever. He and Clay were in his bed for his normal nighttime routine, and he told Clay "Daddy, when I die, I want to go to heaven." He wasn't asking how this happens, he wasn't asking questions about it. He knew. He knew without a doubt that he was ready to make that decision. That would change his eternal existence. The topic had come up a few times before, and Clay and I just thought to ourselves, he is too young. He doesn't really understand. So, we answered his questions, but never acted on them. Well, last night was different. And, Clay knew. So, Clay pulled out his handy Iphone Bible app, and went over Romans 3:23 with him. And then they prayed together, and Jack accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior! I was in tears when Clay told me about it. This is what we long for in life....our children...the little creatures that we love most in this world, to decide to follow Jesus! What an awesome thing! We just kind of have a feeling that Jack is going to take after his namesake and go into the ministry one day. We could be wrong. Just a hunch. He has such a pure view. I love how innocent children are. They are not yet corrupted by this world we live in. So innocent. So simple. So pure. One day we will have that pure life again. Can. Not. Wait!
