So here's something nice to share.
Yesterday, 5-year-old K invited Jesus into her heart.  I love little kids.  She started asking me all kinds of serious God questions in the car (of course!!!) last night.  For example, "how does Jesus live in your heart?  How does he get there?"  "How did God fit inside Mary's tummy?"  At any rate, this somehow led us to a discussion about how someone becomes Christian.  So my lovely little K prayed a prayer where she said she was sorry for the bad things she does, and that Jesus is invited to live in her heart, and that she wants to be like Him.
It's funny because I have been in a bit of a funk about the kids.  Are they progressing in school?  (well of course, I just like to freak myself out)  Am I doing a good job in spite of my failings?  (well of course, God sent them to me for a reason!)  And somehow, God has reassured me, and reminded me, that raising my children to walk with the Lord is the true purpose of what I do!  He always gives us what we need, just when we need it.  Amazing!
