A 5 year old trying to repent.

Have you ever heard it? Sure, I've heard her say she's sorry. But, tonight, she took her repentance process to the next level without telling us.

We put the kids to bed at Chad's mom's so we could all watch a movie in their family room. The kids were told if they get out of bed the door to the room they were sleeping in would get closed. Simple concept. One we work on constantly.

Carter got out twice in the first 10 minutes.

"A bad dream" he says. HA!

Alexis didn't come out for at least 30 minutes.

"I need a drink" she says.

So Chad responds, "Alexis get a drink then close your door. You knew the rules."

Alexis does as told. A few minutes later Chad's sister, Alissa goes to get something from one of the back rooms. She hears Alexis crying in her room. But she is also talking. Alissa listens at the door wondering who she is talking to and this is what she hears.

"I just wanted a drink of water. I'm trying so hard to be good.
I'm sorry. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."

We were dying laughing to say the least. So, although, she still doesn't know we heard her prayer...Chad intervened with another drink of water and let her have the door open "just because."
