So there's this guy...

So on my way home from gymnastics with the girl tonight and she starts to tell me about something that happened at school today...


She starts by telling me that one of her friends has a Grandpa that is a pastor, isn't that cool?! And her friend isn't a Christian. This totally blew her mind! How in the world could you have a pastor Grandpa and not be a Christian? She continued to tell me about how this little girl was having a bad day so my sweet girl asks her if she has prayed about it! The girl says, "no, my grandpa is a pastor but we don't go to church". My little disciple hit the ground running... She proceeded to tell this girl that "There is this guy who was hung on a cross to save us from our sins. He died instead of us. He is the son of God and his name is Jesus."

Time out for a moment... just imagine me... driving my car... totally tearing up at the thought of my little girl sharing her heart with one of her friends. In fact, tearing up now as I type this...

Anyway, she said she told this girl that when she is having a bad day she just says a prayer about it and God helps take away all of her "secrets" (as she called them) and will make her day better. Needless to say they ended up praying together, at lunch, at school. WOW!

He called a little child and had him stand among them.
And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."
Matthew 18:2-4

As if that wasn't enough... she has decided that she wants to start a small group, during lunch, where she can tell people about Jesus. She has it all planned out, they can meet in the music teacher's room (who just happens to be the children's pastor at church). DOUBLE WOW!

I will sing of the LORD's great love forever;

with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations.
Psalm 89:1

All because "there's this guy"... Thank you Jesus!
