"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." [Phillipians 4:4-7]
As we sit here in the Wait...there is a peace, strength and rest that is surpassing all understanding! It is still, calm and silent - except for the praise and worship music that we are playing on my laptop, and the occasional passer by! Thank God for iTunes and the witness of His music!
The nurse just stopped in to give us a quick update from the O.R! Dr. Morell started Jackson's surgery at 8:45am, after an hour of normal preparations (geneal anesthesia, central line, IV, etc). Jackson is currently on the heart/lung by-pass machine, and vitals remain stable! Things are going well so far - however we still have another hour to go!
Kelly and I are enjoying great conversation, time of prayer and cups of coffee/hot chocolate together!
All Eyes on Jesus!

I woke up praying for you guys this morning. My husband and I are so familiar with what ya'll are going through today. Continuing to pray for Dr. Morrell and for Jackson. Praying Phil. 4:4-7 for you two.
