Jesus is calling...

Last night in devotions we were asking the kids what they wanted to pray for. It was Caleb's turn and he mentioned a person and said that they weren't saved. We knew that this specific person was and reminded him. When we did he burst into tears and said, then that means, I'm the only one that's not saved!". It was so unexpected and kinda breaks our hearts. When we ask him why he needs to be saved he doesn't really know yet. He just knows that most of the people he loves are and he wants to be too. I pray that Jesus keeps convicting him and that someday very soon he will acknowledge that he is a sinner(just like the rest of us) and that Jesus is the only one that can save him. It's amazing to see them at such a young age wanting to be saved when so many grown ups around them want to have nothing to do with it. We're so thankful for these little ones that the Lord has blessed us with. Sometimes we get frustrated with them, but the thankfulness outweighs those frustrations. In fact, I think that sometimes we probably frustrate them just as much:). Thankfully God has given us a love one for another and it just seems to grow day by day.

Another cause for rejoicing is Kiersten's quick potty training. She's gone like 8 times in the past couple days, which means diaper usage is just about coming to an end. For the next couple months anyway:). She likes it so much that it's hard to get her out of the bathroom, even after she's finished:). Kinda makes me laugh. I'll wait until she starts taking herself to declare her fully potty trained, but we're certainly thankful for the past couple days of progress.

It looks like we'll have at least a couple of visitors this week. One may be a pastor and his wife heading back from Regina. The second may be a friend that can meet for tea, which I'm really hoping works out and the third will be missionary friends this weekend. With the celebrations in Glidden this week is filling up.

Week 3 of homeschooling is off to a good start. Scott even started Elyssia's history and science, so we should be ahead of schedule this year. So, a good progress report all around today. I'd better go check the pizza dough. I've got meal plans set up for the rest of the month and hoping not to have to make another big grocery run. I know that this month isn't really much longer than the previous, but sometimes the weeks just seem longer and the food disappears faster.
