People Magnets

Look at my two cute-as-a-button kids. I love them to death! They already got tans from going to the beach once on Kaleo's 1st day of Spring Break. This was a picture taken of them on outreach at Cypress College. It's amazing how you can use your kids as magnets to get people to talk to you! LOL
 But besides using my kids as people magnets, I actually can say I need them more than I need to use them for anything. While on outreach I spoke to a lady who said she did not believe in Jesus. As a matter of fact her daughter (who was only 5), but in while I was asking her why she did not believe in Jesus. Her daughter said "Jesus was just a man, who did magic." I thought to myself wow!! So sad... this little girl who is so young already has such a ugly view of who Jesus is.To make a long story short she listened to me for about 15 minutes, very respectfully. I said the words God gave me, but she did not pray. But she was very open. I gave her my testimony and told her what a miracle human life was, and that God knows everything about us, more than our own parents. Of Course I said more, but at the end of our conversation I was left thinking what is more sad is that her children are set up to feel hopeless, and lost. 
I remember times feeling frustrated in my walk with God. But in my heart I knew I never wanted my kids to feel like their life did not hold purpose, or even to think that there was NO God. So long ago I made up my mind. 


#1 I will serve God no matter what life brings.


#2 That I would let my life be a testimony to people including my kids.


#3 That I would tell people about Jesus, so they could experience salvation and the goodness that comes along with it.


I thank God for the children he has entrusted to me. My prayer is that I will raise righteous children who will serve God all the days of their life.
