I remember when I first prayed the sinner's prayer. I think I felt more relieved than anything else because at least i got a one-way ticket to heaven. That was when I was 10 or 11. But faith in God is more than that. Jie Liz prodded and encouraged us to do our QT, to pray and to rely on God. I don't ever think there was a time I ever regreted spending at least 5 minutes a day reading my bible or praying and talking to God. There were of course times when I didn't feel like reading my bible or doing my quiet time. In times of spiritual dryness, there will come a turning point, when I feel that I actually miss God, miss reading the bible and talking to him. For Him who loves me so much that He died for me through the most terrible way possible, I think I can never love Him back to that extent.. I'm still trying though, and reminding myself to try, day by day.
Very very encouraged at how the younger girls are trying. That's one prayer answered=)

Although the fig tree shall not blossom
neither shall fruit be in the vines;
the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat;
the flock shall be cut off from the fold,
and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.
Habakkuk 3:17-18
This lullaby is only a few words
A simple run of chords
Quiet here in this spare room
But you can hear it, hear it
Wherever you may go
I will let you down
But this lullaby plays on
