I'm A Believer

Last Tuesday, May 13th, was Hudson's culminating Awana night.  Then ended with a whole group awards session.  Here are all his leaders:

They were so sweet and passed out awards to each Cubbie along with a cup, crazy straw, and some gummy bears.  Hudson was most excited about the gummy bears.  

This day is very special because it's the day Hudson asked Jesus into his heart.  We have been talking all year about how to be a follower of Christ.  What a Christian is.  How to be one.  I didn't just want him to pray it but I wanted him to understand it a bit more.  His Awana homework was perfect in facilitating these conversations.  I love the Awana program because it's a curriculum.  I love a set curriculum, but I also like to deviate from it:).  Many conversations have happened during Awana homework but tonight's was different.  After finishing our last Cubbie's lesson I asked him if he believed in Jesus.  Hudson replied "Of course!"  So I then asked him if he would like to ask Jesus into his heart and become a follower of Christ.  I modeled a prayer and he just instinctually repeated it, I didn't ask him to, and asked Jesus into his heart.   

So after his Awana awards, Hudson headed with Pops in the hot rod to get some frozen yogurt at my favorite local joint.

We then shared the news with Nana, Pops, and daddy about Hudson's newest accomplishment.  We are so proud of you Hudson.  Welcome to the family little buddy!  

Since then he's been sharing it around town!  At Gigi & Gpas, he saw his Awana pastor at Dairy Queen, this kids on fire.  One of the best parts was one of my Bible Study leaders just published a book.  It talks about being a Christian and armoring yourself with the Lord.  I truly recommend it!  

PS: A few days later while doing night time prayers, he prayed that Hannah would accept Christ as her Savior.  What a tender heart!  I love this boy!
