Yesterday while dumpster diving for coupons with Jacob and Eli. I heard Eli screaming in the car. Jacob said he punched him because he wasn't listening to him. Will I was a bit upset and told him to get out of his seat while I regrouped to deal with the incident. When I returned to the car he said I prayed to God and told him I was sorry for hitting Eli. I was so surprised. And shocked that I didn't know what to say, do I still discipline or not. I felt like I shouldn't so I told him it was good that he prayed and to tell Eli he was sorry. Not sure if he really did pray or if he said it to get out of my discipline. But there was no way for him to know that if he prayed I may not discipline because it had never happened before... But after the fact as I thought on it. Hoping he truly was showing a repentant, confessing heart I am so excited for him. I do not want to be teaching him to obey me but to ultimately confess to God when he sins. To turn from his sin to God. My teaching/example is working on whatever level he can understand and I am super excited... So thought I would share this with you all.
Love
Bree
