Our prayers are answered! Shelby invited Jesus into her heart tonight and accepted Him as her Lord and Savior!
Over the past couple of years Shelby's had many questions about Jesus and the Bible and we have had many long talks with her. While we were eating dinner tonight she had some more questions. We talked and Shelby finally said, "I want to ask Jesus into my life but I don't know how." Oh my goodness... So off to church we went to talk to our Pastor. He took Shelby aside and asked her questions to determine her level of understanding. She knew that she was a sinner and the only way to get to Heaven was through Jesus. Pastor Stan wanted to pray with her and this was her little but powerful prayer, "I want to ask God into my life and I want him to know that I love him!" Wow! Adam and I couldn't be happier and I know the angels are up in heaven singing and rejoicing because Shelby belongs to Jesus!!
