What every Mom longs to hear.

So if you follow me on Instagram then you already know this, but some of you don't. On Sunday night, February 3, 2013 Josiah got saved. I am so happy he finally claimed salvation. He has been trying so hard to get saved and he never would claim it. (Well, there was the one time he jumped up and testified in the microphone 3 yrs ago that he got saved that night. I'm pretty sure he never even prayed that night. As matter of fact, he slept through church until testimony time, evidently. Lol) I guess he didn't know what to expect. I felt like he has been saved for awhile, but that has to be something they have to tell you for themselves. I spoke with Josiah's teacher and even she tried to pray with him and lead him to salvation, but he wouldn't claim it. I have watched Josiah worship the Lord in church with tears streaming down his face. Sure, sometimes it was dramatized and I would have to hide a grin. But the worship just kept growing until I would literally see the Power of God on him. I talked casually to a brother in our church about kidding that Josiah was gonna get the Holyghost before he claimed salvation. I'll never forget what he said. He said, "Wouldn't you much rather see the effects of him being saved than just his own words saying, I'm saved?" Wow! How true was that to this Momma's heart. I mean what if I pushed him to claim being saved, but then I never seen any changes or spiritual growth. On Feb 3rd, 2013 we had an annointed filled service. The kind of service where you can feel his presence from the first song. God moved so strong during our congregational singing. We were singing "When we all get to Heaven." Just a normal hymnal we've sung hundreds of times, but the Glory of the Lord filled that place. I looked over to see Josiah worshipping God and his lips stammering. I quit praying "save him", but baptize him in the Holyghost. That night Josiah told me he felt like he got saved! I was so happy to hear it from his own lips! I love how God is moving on him and can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for his life. On a funny note, Titus was so aggravated that he didn't get saved. He said he tried and tried to make himself cry like everybody else, but he just couldn't do it. He is so funny.
