Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6

Never thought about that part...
As a Mama, I have always prayed that my babies will grow up loving Jesus and that they would choose Him at a young age. What I didn't think about was discipling them afterwards. Gracie and I are doing a devotion together (just the two of us) daily, and she is asking questions or revealing things that show me just how "baby" she is in the Lord. I just never really thought about teaching her things like talking to Jesus like He is her best friend but maintaining the respect for Him that He deserves, or "feeling" Him in such a real way that He overflows from her thoughts and words, or teaching her how to share her faith with others. She made the decision to follow Him, and I rejoiced and cried and praised Jesus, but now the work begins, and I'm not quite sure where to start! Please pray with me that I am able to show her how love Jesus with everything in her and how to keep Him close to her heart and her number ONE in all things. Also pray that I have words to say when she comes to me with tears and doesn't know why (this has happened a few times after our devotion time...I feel that the Lord is trying to reveal something to her, but she isn't sure what it is).
