Friday was spent at my mom's house because we were in town for my cousin's son's birthday. It was also spent in the pool. Now, my mom's pool is cool- literally. Twenty years or so ago there was little shade around the pool, but now there is little sunlight around the pool. It was at about 80 degrees and shady in the water.
And that, together with a contact lens biting the dust, was why I spent just a little time in the pool.
Because of the contact lens death, I had to get my eyes checked because I can't get new contacts with a two year old prescription. And my prescription has changed about four times since I changed my glasses last. After the eye doctor, we went to the party, then we took the girls to see Brave. Not Pixar's best, and a little too adult, if you ask me. Too scary and too many bare men's bottoms for my taste. But the good was that we got to see both grandmothers- Kristin's mom came in for the movie- and our friend Jeff, who we get to see far too seldom.
Sunday we headed home, and encountered the subject of today's blog.
Leslie approached us and said she wanted to get baptized. We asked her questions about sin, about Jesus, and about salvation. After flawless answers, we asked her this: "Do you feel like you want to do this, or that you have to do this." She said she had to.
So Leslie prayed to receive Christ as her Lord and Savior yesterday afternoon. We are so excited, but not as excited as she is. Tonight, I told her she had the opportunity to mentor Kenna- and explained what mentor meant. The excitement grew.
Today was another shot of hope, as well. Kristin has an interview at Fannin Elementary in Bryan on Wednesday for a music position. We pray that if this is what God wants, it would happen soon, and we pray that we trust in Him above all.
That's a lesson we can learn from Leslie.
