Is Jesus in your tummy?

I've been talking with Jacob a lot these days about Jesus and what it means to have him in your heart. I didn't begin my relationship with the Lord until I was in high school. I never grew up knowing that you could have a real, personal relationship with Him until a friend brought me to youth group. All of the bible stories and Sunday school songs that everyone brought up in the church seems to know are still new to me. So I'm learning these along with Jacob and it's actually very fun (that Zacchaeus song cracks me up!).

Today we were in the car and Abby was being very crabby. If she keeps this up, she's going to get stuck with a new nickname. Anyways, Jacob was telling her not to scream that, 'it makes God angry when you scream, Abby. You need to obey God."

Then he paused for a moment obviously contemplating all of the recent talks about Jesus we have had.

Then out came, "Abby, do you have Jesus in your tummy?"

Wrong anatomy, but still the same message. I hope that he continues to have this desire to witness and to ask others if they know Jesus. I have to work on the "Jesus in your heart" thing, but it's definitely a good start.
