Tonight was one of the absolute, bar-none, best nights of my life. Tonight at 10:45 p.m., my sweet, amazing, wondrous, beautiful miracle, my daughter, gave her heart to Jesus Christ! I got to be the one to pray with her. Wow! And the first thing God did afterward was to give me such an indescribable peace to trust that what she had done was real through the immediate fruit she bore. My sweet shy daughter said she CAN NOT WAIT to go forward at church tomorrow and ask to be baptized! If you knew her whole recent background, you would understand that THAT is straight from the Heavenly Father! Then as I was just praising Him for all of His goodness, He reminded me......just two weeks ago I had asked Him to at least once in my lifetime let me lead someone to Christ from start to finish. From telling them of Him for the very first time to planting the seed, to watering, to finally share in them getting saved. And I guess when I prayed that prayer, for some reason I was envisioning a stranger, someone I would meet and lead. But God gave me exceedingly abundant above all I could ask or imagine. In just two weeks, He answered my prayer through someone far more important to me - my flesh and blood. My only girl. And in this I believe He also answered for me another unspoken prayer as well. Yes, this was a fantastic Cinco De Mayo! A fiesta where even the angels were singing!!!

So happy for you and for your daughter. A milestone to say the least and the beginning of a new wonderful journey. I am so happy that you were the one to pray with her-even sweeter.
That is so neat!! It is awesome when prayers are answered in ways that surprise us!!
Praise the Lord! I am so excited for you, and her. There's nothing in the world like leading another soul to the Saviour. I can't wait to meet you both in heaven someday!
This post gave me goosebumps! What a beautiful experience for both you and your daughter!
Wow, I loved reading this post about your prayer being answered beyond your expections. God is so Good! Thanks for stopping by my site. To answer your question- I was saved at vacation bible school around seven, but then redicated my life and was baptized at 18. I don't think until I was 24 that I truly began to crave The Word of God. So nice to chat with you. Sorry this is so long. I am going to add you to my blog lines, so I hope you don't mind. God bless!
Another precious name written in the Lamb's book of life. Praising Him with you today!
Blessings,

Beautiful are the feet that follow HIM!
Praise the LORD!

Awesome! I think we sometimes forget that we can reap a rich harvest at home . . . I have to keep reminding myself that I am doing the Lord's work everyday, even if it doesn't look like I'm doing much in a church body. :0) I appreciated this post today! The angels were singing and we're rejoicing with you!
