Soooo I'm a college student, and I babysit practically full time to make a living. I LOVE the kids. They are 5 months old, 2 years old, and 6 years old. I've bonded with each of them. It's really been a new experience for me. When I first started babysitting I really thought that there was no gospel to be shared. I didn't think any of the kids were old enough to get it with words, but as I've continued to babysit I realize I was wrong. I've had some really neat conversations with the 6 year old, Elizabeth. I don't really know where her family's at with God or church, but apparently she attends this bible study occassionally. I'm not too sure how often, but she understands a lot more than I would expect. So from conversations we began praying before bed every Tuesday and Thursday night since those are the two nights that I put them to bed. The routine is I pray first and then she follows. She really likes it because she always MAKES SURE I know that we're praying before I leave that room. But it was just one of those days ya know? One of those days where they really tried my patience, I was tired, and not too cheery. I'm upstairs trying to focus on Elizabeth while the 5 month old is screaming downstairs and he nevvver cries. So I'm focused on getting out of there as soon as possible when she asks me how God gets into her heart. And it was one of those moments where I almost told her that I'd tell her tomorrow because I was SO distracted by Nathan crying and that's when I realized I'd be crazy to walk away from that situation. So I told her to ask Jesus into her heart, and tell him she was sorry for all the bad things she'd done. I told her she could ask him into her heart anytime she was ready. And she said she wanted to right then and there so she did! Out loud! It was so cool!! So I explained to her afterwards that Jesus is now her forever friend and she can talk to him whenever she wants to. I told her she could keep talking to Jesus as long as she wanted to, but that I had to go get Nathan. She was really excited. It was so cool because I've never led someone to christ before! It was a really good reminder that I'm not perfect, God is, and he wants to use ME regardless!

"May today there be peace within. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you . May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let His presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and everyone of us."

A good expression of my feelings in that moment. :)
