For some people the moment of their salvation is a distinct, remembered event. For others it consisted of a gradual period of time with no definable start or stop. Still others simply remember always knowing Christ.
Recently I was thinking about Ellie and the time a couple years ago when I sat on her bed and she accepted Christ. I wondered if it was something she fully grasped or if she was too young at the time to really "get it." Then the other day Karin showed me a writing assignment that Ellie had done. It stopped me in my tracks. I am not sure exactly what the assignment was - and to be honest it isn't even important - it is the content of what she wrote that was so amazing. What a unique opportunity for her to capture that sacred moment of time through her innocent and honest 8 year old eyes. How great will this be to pull out in 15 or 20 years to show her The Beginning?
