never a dull moment. . . .

Our lives have been a whirlwind of activity and change these past few weeks, so much to share, just not enough time to sit down and pen all the stories that have accumulated.  However, I can't pass up an opportunity to share another Vitoria story.  Victoria loves to snuggle when she gets up, all of our kids did, and as she was laying on the sofa by me I say to her, "oh your getting so big, I just don't like it one single bit!" and she (with her quick Lutz-wit) says, "coffee!"  Ok which one of you kids told her that "coffee stunts your growth?"  Love this blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl so much~

new life in Christ

The last few nights, as I was rocking Victoria (yes we still rock her at age 5), she has been asking me about Heaven, if we will live forever after we die, etc.  I shared with her the importance of asking Jesus in her heart and asked her if she had done that, which she replied with a shake of her head, no.  I then asked her if she would like to do it and she said, "I'm tired mommy can we talk about it and do it tomorrow?" Of course I wasn't going to push her to make a decision, I knew she had to figure it all out in her little 5 year old way.  Last night after church, as I was rocking her, she says, "can we ask Jesus in my heart tonight?" and then she proceeded to be sick. . . .after I cleaned her up and we were, again, in the rocking chair she says, "mommy I just asked Jesus into my heart."  We talked and she shared with me what she prayed and my heart swelled with joy and thanksgiving that our last baby, number 12, had made the most important decision of her life.  What a gift to share this with her and to know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that she truly is a child of the King.
