"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
I am an all American Girl that loves a good 4th of July parade, BBQ and fireworks show...
I get teary when I hear the Star Spangle Banner and will actually cry if I happen to see a service man or woman in uniform when I hear the National Anthem.
I am proud to be an American...
but I am teary on this Independence Day for another reason
today I am celebrating a different freedom...
today our 5 year old son accepted Jesus into his heart...
"Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," these are words that wars have been fought over...and today, because of those wars, our children have the opportunity to grow up in a country that allows them to worship God and live a life that God has called them to.
'for freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.' Galatians 5:1

"So if the son has set you free, you will be free indeed."
Yay Wilson! *clap, clap, clap*. God is so good!
Yeah God! I got goosebumps and a lump in my throat. Seeing your children make that important step is HUGE. So excited for you!
