Salvation Chalk-Board + Fisher-price dream kitchen set = enjoy!!

Readers, 

You may be very puzzled when you read this title, but don't you worry,

it ALL makes perfect sense in the end!

To start off if you were a Faithful Sunday-School Attender or not we all may have heard the saying either in Children's ministry or when you said the Salvation prayer... 

"When you give your heart to Jesus he wipes all your sins clean, just like a chalk-board." 

I have probably heard 2 dozen or more Sunday School teachers use that line... 

& I still had trouble picturing Jesus cleaning my entire life of sin? 

How could anyone love me SO much?

Pretty confusing stuff for a six year old! 

With that being said let's take a little walk down memory lane... 

Think back to when you personally gave your whole heart to the Lord! 

Do you remember? 

(& don't forget if you haven't become part of God's family...there is still time, doesn't matter if you are 95 or 2 years old :D

God's timing is amazingly perfect!) 

I sure do remember my big day, 

I remember standing in my chilly, little, playroom on a Winter Afternoon wearing my cute, 

purple slippers at the age of 6, 

playing "washing dishes" 

(with my favourite entire complete Kitchen Appliances & cupboards set...no cheap stuff! 

we're talkin stove, fridge,microwave, table & chairs, sink & all the plastic play food you could ever imagine?!

...I may have been spoiled,

 but man I loved that thing!) 

I was racking my 6 year old mind while trying to wash the dishes & spoon feed my baby doll Kate & talk on the phone with my imaginary husband, who was late coming home from work, again!!! 

 I couldn't believe him, 

How dare he miss supper......twice!! 

(Mommy at heart, can you tell?) 

Thinking about all that my Sunday School teacher had said earlier that week, about how much sweeter life would be to walk with Jesus! 

Then my Mom walked into the room, 

Never felt this way before. 

(Dropped the dishes into the sink 

& hung up the phone.) 

My heart dropped into my stomach... 

(This is scarier than taking a test I thought!) 

Do I tell her I want Jesus to be my friend???

Come on she's my Mom...awkward!! 

Thoughts running through my mind.

What do I say? 

Has everyone done this? 

Will I look different? 

Will I hear God's voice? 

Will I feel clean? 

Long story short, 

(I say that because the rest is history!!) 

I became God's daughter that day in my little playroom & have been loving Him ever since, 

I have had my many bumps & hills along the way, but I had to remember just one simple thing... 

 "When you give your heart to Jesus he wipes all your sins clean, just like a chalk-board." 

Now every time I walk by our home Church nursery & see that little Girls dream kitchen set sitting there... 

 (which now is faded,old,wrecked, parts completely missing... 

it's served it's time well lol!) 

 I think to myself, 

Thank you Lord for my Life 

& for amazing Sunday school teachers who taught me that Jesus can clean ANY sin & he just wants to be my friend,

& if I didn't ask him as my friend that day, I would probably still be playing with that Kitchen set wondering what could have been, 

If I just let Jesus wipe my little 

Chalk-board clean...

Look at me...tearing up at 1:43am!

(That's right Jesus makes me work mid-nights on the blog...haha) 

P.S. Playing with that kitchen set is NOT the only reason I signed up to volunteer in the church nursery ;)

If you haven't asked Jesus to walk with you yet,

please,please,please do!

I can't make you do anything, 

but I will say one thing, 

My life has never been the same since!! 

(I know people say that about gym memberships all the time, but we are talking about everlasting life here!!) 

So send me an email when you do,

 I would love to celebrate with the Angels when you become my Sister/Brother in the Lord :) 

Blessings to you all Sweet Friends!
