Something happened in the Dooley house this Christmas that made it unlike any Christmas before. Five nights ago laying in little Addy's bed with her she prayed a sweet little prayer with me asking Jesus into her heart. I am humbled by her ability to truly experience, know, and believe in the Savior of the world.
I know it was her doing because for weeks she has been asking me the hardest questions. How does God get down for heaven? Where is heaven? What does God do when he is not in heaven? I have been speechless in front of her many times as I tried to put what my Savior did into terms she will understand and accept. But they were not my words, they were His and they left an impact that forever changed the future of sweet Addy cakes. This Christmas I celebrate Jesus' birth, my Savior, my Redeemer, my Rock, and my King, but I also celebrate Addy's new life in him.
Thank you Jesus that you died for my baby girl. I find comfort knowing that she is your temple and you are now her Father. I know you have plans for her. Guide her and grow her as you prepare her. Guard her heart from this world and help her eyes to stay focused on you. Help me to be a mom that makes her want to know you more. Use me to grow her. Use her to grow me. You have given me the most precious gift. May the way I treasure it make you
proud.
I love you sweet Jesus, reign in my life, reign in my home,reign in my family.

Praise the Lord!! My daughter is 10 now and she asked Jesus in her heart when she was 5 years old and what a blessing it has been to watch her live her life for God at a young age and I pray God's blessings over her always - for her to cling to Him more and more every day. May God bless your daughters and you and your husband day in and day out.
