landon's decision

praise: landon supposedly "became a Christian" today.

prayer: please pray that his decision is for real and that we will see fruit in the years to come.

playfulness: i guess i should expand on the quotes around his decision. dave and i are not comfortable declaring to our son: do these things/pray this prayer and you are saved. landon has been asking for weeks, with growing frequency, if he can become a Christian. he knows the plan of salvation, he knows that he is a sinner, he knows that the sinless Christ died on the cross to pay for his sin, he knows that Christ is God's Son, he knows that he needs to obey God's commands, he knows... you get the picture. as a parent, NOT knowing how sincere a decision is...is difficult. dave and i both struggled with our childhood professions of faith when we reached our teen years. we don't want that for our kids-so we have put Landon off for a while. today, he pressed and pressed. as he told me when i came home from picking up prescriptions, and after he and dave talked, he said he asked God to forgive him and that he wanted to be on God's side. he will tell you that he is a Christian now. we are resting in the knowledge of-believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. as far as we can see-he believes, and has even acted on his belief as much as a five year old can...now to see fruit. on a encouraging note (for me), about 5 minutes after we talked about still sinning after becoming a christian, and still asking for forgiveness, he came up to me and said "mom i just did a doozy, but i asked God to forgive me..." then he told me what he did. please pray for our "little christian" as he seeks to be obedient-and please pray that he sincerely understands.

on a more frivolous note, pics from the past few weeks can be viewed here:
