Coleman Jude Lairsey

I am 27 weeks pregnant with Coleman, and the weeks are flying by!  We have two weeks til Thanksgiving, then a month til Christmas, then two weeks til Coleman joins our family in the flesh :)  I can hardly believe it!!!  Dr. Morgan Gibbs is projecting a c-section during the week of January 9... that is NOT far off!!  Here is a picture from today's sonogram of his foot/leg.  It is still AMAZING to me that LIFE is growing in my belly...AMAZING.  

Jesus In Your Heart

After I put the little girls to bed (I like to give them a little bit of a head start :)), Eve and I were up watching The Sing Off.  Out of no where, she looked up at me so sweetly and said, "Mommy, is Jesus in everyone's heart?"  Hmmmm... how deep can I go with a 3-year-old??  "No, baby.  Jesus only comes in people's hearts when they ask him to.  There are some people who haven't asked Jesus to come in their heart."  "Oh, mommy.  You need to ask Jesus to come in your heart right now."  "I already did, Eve."  "You need to again.  Right now.  I'll help you."  I give in.  "Ok.  Jesus, please come into my heart and ..."  Eve interrupts and starts her own beautiful prayer:  "Jesus and God, please come into my mommy's heart and help her and me to be sweet and be on green and on happy frog.  And come in forever.  And bless her to be sweet.  And daddy too.  Thank you for doing that.  Amen."  Then she looks at me, pulls up my shirt, and points to my belly button, "Jesus slid down that hole right there, mommy.  He went straight to your heart.  He just slid down."

I love that girl.  I love thinking about her growing up around the things of God.  Jesus, capture her heart... and I pray she will serve YOU every day that she lives!
