Kayla Nicole

The purpose of this blog is really two-fold. First, for those of you who may not have heard, Kayla asked Jesus into her heart on Sunday night, October 12th. She came to us on her own after church and said she was ready. Of course, we wondered at her young age if she truly understood. We questioned her thoroughly and when all was said and done, it was apparent that she was ready and determined to know Christ and know that her eternity in heaven was secured. As we knelt by her bed, tears filling our eyes, Kayla, all on her own, asked the Lord to come into her heart and forgive her of her sins!! Her simple childlike faith was refreshing and rebuking all at the same time. She was so excited and resolute about what she was doing. Oh to be able to clear the "clutter" of life and to simply take Christ at His Word and trust Him every day just as a child! Anyway, she has been testifying to all she knows of her new found faith in Christ and we wanted to be sure and share with our "blogging" friend as well.
The other reason for this post is quite obvious. I am very thankful to have such a sweet little "mommy's helper". Kayla especially loves to help in the kitchen - baking, cooking, setting the table, anything she can do by my side. It is so fun to have such a eager little helper. On this particular day, she was decorating cupcakes for her daddy. She knows daddy loves chocolate, so she was very intent on making these cupcakes look "perfect" for her favorite man! Kayla - we are so proud of you and thank God so much for the little girl he has given to us!
