The day Lyric got saved.

 Here I come running to the place I have so many memories I want to save. Even though many incredible ones have happened over the last 2 years that absolutely deserve a space on the blog...this one is of upmost importance! LYRIC ASKED JESUS INTO HIS HEART TONIGHT! I went on a walk with my friend Dianah tonight and when I got home we started brushing teeth and getting ready like usual. I was going to read to him and Daddy was going to read to Levi. He was a tad frustrated because Matt was teasing him that he was going to read to him and he wanted me too. When Matt came running at him down the hallway Lyric slammed the door. Of course Matt didn’t like that and told him if he did that again there would be a consequence. He got a little upset (tired of course) so I was sitting with him on the little couch in his room and telling him how much Daddy loved him and Mommy loved him and God loved him. Then I went on to telling him that God is love. He said “God is not love God died He is in Heaven” so I went in to telling him that God didn’t die to GO to heaven like we will....God created heaven and earth and every single thing remember? Then I said do you want to read a book about Heaven? (We have the children’s copy of Heaven is for Real and I had never read that to him...only to Lane and Luke...so I went and got it off the bookshelf.) He loved it. He smiled the whole time. When I said “The End” he said “God IS love” and I said “yep God is love and God loves you so much He sent his son to die for YOU! And now Jesus and all of God’s love is IN you Lyric” and He said yes it is pointing at his little own chest.  I proceeded to ask him if he wanted to pray a prayer asking God to be in his heart forever and he did. So we prayed. Together. I prayed. He prayed. And he smiled the entire time. We hugged so so tight when we were done and he was so giddy happy! I put him to bed with a big smile on his face  and then got him some water and shut the door. I was sitting on our bed in the next room telling Matt the whole story. And how Good God is because I had just prayed that morning asking God to give me and my little boys a special encounter with Him this week while the big two boys were at church camp. Asking God to give us all a deeper revelation of Him so when they get home he was putting glue in between

us all bonding the pieces together after being apart. As I’m telling Matt my early morning prayer....my friend who I had walked with (and had left and went to pick her daughter up after we were done walking) texted me and said. RAINBOW! Then the next text she says “Amazing double rainbow ending right by your house”. 😭😭😭 We would have never ever seen that. Like I said we were sitting on our bed on the other end of the house. I read the texts and we jumped off the bed. Ripped open Lyric’s door and said “Lyric come on run outside there is a rainbow!” Anyone that knows Lyric knows he loves rainbows! Things being in rainbow colored order is very important to him. We know that a rainbow means God’s promises are true. Even in the book we read tonight it talks about how there are rainbows all over in heaven and he of course said “What! Wow! Rainbows are all over in heaven!?” While I was reading about it. This double amazing rainbow appeared at our house....right out our frequently used Kitchen door within less than 5 minutes of Lyric praying and asking Jesus into his heart. We were covered in chills. And snapped this picture to never forget this incredible moment. God....you are SOOOOO good and Heaven most definitely is for real!!
