Today, as I look through blurry eyes and as tears roll down my cheeks, I praise the Lord. I praise Him from the highest mountain. HOLY, HOLY, HOLY is the Lord GOD Almighty!!!!!! I praise Him for He has given us grace and mercy and love that we don't deserve. I praise Him for the unfairness He lays before us. It is not fair that we get to have salvation. It is unfair that He chose ME to be one of His children. He chose me.
He also chose Alivia, Shardae and Hannah, three girls in my 5th Grade class. I was just bombarded with the news. I came back from my PE class, and Alivia yells to me, "MS. PEFFER, I GOT SAVED!!!!!!" Shock filled my face and I couldn't believe it. I gave her a hug and told her how excited I was. Behind her, Shardae said, SO DID I!! Another hug, another look of amazement. Shardae's a reserved girl, not one to fill me in on news. This was big. Then I hear from somebody else that Hannah got saved too! Everyone was talking about it, telling me the news of what had happened. 3 new children of God. 3 precious young babes in Christ, wanting to proclaim the news.
It wasn't just an invitation at the end of Bible class. They were talking about fears and about Jehosopaht. After Bible was over, the 3 asked Ann if they could talk about it. They voluntarily missed RECESS to talk to Ann about salvation. You know it's real if a 5th grader wants to miss recess to assure their salvation. She kept giving them choices, letting it be their decision, not her pushing. Children love to please and will do what you ask. Even say a prayer for salvation. I feel that these girls are genuine. I can't wait to see the changes He is going to do in their lives over the next 5 months.
Please praise God for their salvation. Please pray that they will flee Satan's temptation. Pray that their homes will be a place they can grow. I don't think any of them have believers as parents. Pray that we will be great guides and help as much as we can. Pray that they will tell people and that they will choose to be baptized next Wednesday in front of the whole elementary school.
Oh Lord, you are so good. Thank you for calling them to You. Thank you. Thank you.
