This is the day that the Lord has made

What a day, everything started out pretty normal today. The boys and I got groceries and did some cooking and some cleaning and then went to pick up the girls from school. Then at the supper table everything changed. I could tell there was something on Charlie's mind so I asked her if she needed to talk about something and she proceeded to put her head down and pretended like she had forgotten her concern. So I told her that after supper if she needed to chat we could sit down and talk. As I started cleaning up the dishes she said "mama I don't want to go to hell I want to be saved" immediate tears came to my eyes because I could see the sincerity in her face. We both sat down on the couch and I showed her the verses in the Bible that explain our sin situation and our need for a Saviour the one true Jesus Christ and after that Charlie prayed and told God how sorry she is and asked Him to save her. This is one of best days of my life. I tell you God is so good to burden little Charlie's heart. I praise the Lord for Godly influences in her life like her teacher at school who lives God's love out on a daily basis. Some people might read this and think how can it even be possible that a 5 year old understands but it says right in the Bible that unless we come to Him like a little child we will never be born again. Nobody can make us accept Jesus Christ we have to come to that decision like Charlie did. That's the greatest thing about being a christian just to know that God will always be there to accept us no matter what. We have to be the ones to make a change. So many people today are working on cleaning the outside of their lives but yet neglect to clean the most important part, their heart. I hope this testimony touches your heart, please pray that Charlie will grow as a christian and that she will never be ashamed to stand up for what is right in this world, especially today's world where everyone wants to simply "tolerate" everything and not find fault with anything. We are getting further and further away from the Lord as country and it's time we stand up for what is God's way.
God is good all the time

A New day

Driving the boat with Grandpa at the lake

First day of School

Sawyer starts to smile

The first day of school has come and gone and everything went so well. Quinn wasn't shy one bit according to her teacher and they both got their fruit in the basket which is an incentive for being obedient. Quinn came out of the doors at school with a huge grin and proclaimed that she really liked school. I am so grateful that the Lord has allowed us to send them there. I pray that this would be the year that they trust Jesus Christ as their Saviour. Please pray that they realize their need for a Saviour and that learning about His great love would become real to them and not just a thing they learn at school and church. Little Sawyer is doing well he still struggles with taking naps during the day, he reminds me more and more of Quinn everyday. Gideon is enjoying his new alone time with mommy but wishes his brother could get up and play ball with him. This year should be a fun one and one that will fly by. The kids are already talking about Christmas.

Learning to live on no sleep

Hey everyone,
Things are a bit crazy in the Heyboer house. The little man is starting to adjust although he seems to not like his life on the outside. We are working on it. He has started to smile which is such a blessing from the Lord. To see his grining little face makes it all worth it. He even smiled and laughed for Quinn today which she needed. My sweet and crazy Quinn has been through the ringer lately. She spent some quality time in the ER with a kidney infection and is now on the mend. I hate to see my kiddo so sick but God is good and got us both through the IV's, cat scan and the shots. She is now a bit braver I think. The girls start school next week, yeah they are so very excited. I on the other hand am trying to figure out how I will accomplish getting 4 kids out the door and presentable by 7:20. I can do it right (little pep talks always help) I am looking forward to spending quality time just me and the boys during the week. Well take care everyone.
God is good all the time
