"Mom!! I'm God's Child"

Alexis started coming to my SPARKS program at church after attending VBS last summer. As far as I can tell, she does not attend church anywhere execpt at my home church on Wednesday evenings. Alexis has enjoyed coming to SPARKS this year. Towards the beginning of the year, Alexis came for the fun and did the memory verses without truly understanding what she was mem0rizing. Readers of my blog know that I have switched my SPARKS Bible lessons to PreSchool Bible lessons. Boy have we seen a turn around in the comprehension and retention of what is being taught from the Bible. Yesterday after the Bible lesson, Alexis indicated that she wanted to become God's child. So, her SPARKS leader, my mom, was able to counsel Alexis about becoming God's child. And she prayed and is now God's child. After her she was finished, My mom brought Alexis to me to tell me what she had done. She told me and she knew she was God's child. Over the course of the night, we took her to tell two other people whose child she was now. Each time, Alexis became more fluent in expressing what had happened. Then at the end of the night, my mom brought Alexis to her mom and told her what had happened. Alexis looked at her mom and said "Mom! I'm God's child!" Praise God for this changed life!!!!
