REbirth

So Elie and I were driving to her Spanish class the other day talking about dreams and we get on the subject of Santa Clause which eventually leads to the subject of God. Elie is constantly asking questions that I have no idea how to answer when it comes to spiritual things. Partly because well, they are hard questions and partly because she is just not mature enough to even understand the vocabulary let alone the concepts. So... somehow we got on the subject of the Holy Spirit. I told her that when you ask Jesus to be your friend forever then the Holy Spirit lives in side of you. Elie was thoughtful and then said "I want that. I want Jesus to be my friend forever and the Holy Spirit live with me. How do I do that" (That is almost verbatim by the way) So I told her how to pray and she prayed all by herself and accept Jesus. It was very sweet and I was very proud.


So here is a picture of her physical birthday to represent her spiritual one.

Hooray! God bless sweet Elie as she continues to discover who she is and how much God loves her. (Tears. Seriously.)

What a sweet story! Thank you, Jesus, for Elie, and for showing you her love at such a young age!
