Some time ago...unfortunately I did not write this down immeditately. I believe Jack was either 7 or 8.
Mommy, sometimes I think about a big fiery pit where a bad guy is forcing me to decide whether to throw my Legos in or my family members. I always end up choosing my Legos but it is a hard decision. (Tears).
Jack, do you know something? If I had to choose whether I would go into the fiery pit or you, I would die for you. (more tears from both of us).
God immediately said to me, "Yes but will you live for him?". I knew what this meant. Would I sacrifice food and self-satisfaction in order to live a healthy life for my children. The answer was "yes" and indeed I did begin to follow the Lord in this area of my life.
