"I believe in Jesus!"

I wanted to write because I haven't in a while. I was sitting here wondering what I should write about and then it hit me. When we were sitting at dinner tonight, the subject of Jesus was brought up. Allie brought up the word Christian and Caedmon raised his hand and said, "I'm a Christian!" Then Allie said you believe in Jesus to be a Christian and Caedmon said, "I believe in Jesus!" Then he proceeded to ask Allie and I if we believe in Jesus too. He also said that Jesus is always with him. It is so awesome to see God working in the life of my three year old son. I know that he probably does not understand everything fully, but I think he understands more than I would have given him credit for before tonight. He truly loves to sing about God. He loved going to VBS last week and learning about God from the story of Joseph. My hope and prayer for him is that he will grow to love God and follow Him. I pray for him everyday that he will live his life for Jesus and not for the world. God has given him so much talent. The other day a guy at Guitar Center told us that Caedmon was really advanced with his drumming for a three year old. I truly pray that he will use that natural talent for the glory of God. I don't care if he makes a lot of money. I don't care if he's a famous rock star (it would be cool though). I don't care if he's not successful in the eyes of the world. I just pray that he is successful in the eyes of God. I am so proud that he is my son. It warms my heart when he wants to know more about God and hear the stories of the Bible. I pray that Allie and I will be the examples he and the new baby need us to be. At VBS we sang the song "One True God" and the chorus was "You are the one true God! There will never be another!" I want my kids to know that. There is only one true God and there will never be another. I want them to know God for who He is not for what Christians sometimes make Him out to be. I want them to love Him and rejoice in Him always. I just want to be the best father to them so that they will want to know the true Father.
