The Procedure...

"The disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Spirit!" [Acts 13:52]

Time to mobilize all you prayer warriors! We received word this afternoon that Dr. Emery, after discussing with Dr. Sherman the results of yesterday mornings echo, is moving the procedure up to this Friday! They were hoping to allow Jackson two more weeks of development and strength - but, after seeing that the left side of his heart has not grown in the last two weeks, they are mobilizing their team!

The procedure will take place at Magee Women's Hospital in Pittsburgh this Friday around noon. Kelly will have an echo Friday morning, just to get a "game day look" and then they will prep Kel in the O.R. with the procedure taking place somewhere around noon. The key right now is for Jackson to be positioned "perfectly" Friday morning! When I asked Dr. Emery this afternoon what we could be doing to get prepared, his response; "You are already doing it! You have Faith!" And we do! We are filled with joy, that God has appointed and positioned this team of doctors to be His instruments and reveal His Glory, Majesty, Power and Provision!

So here is the plan...Wednesday, finish packing and move! Thursday, finish the move/clean and rest! Friday, at the hospital around 9:00am for an echo, the Fetal Aortic Balloon Valvuloplasty procedure around noon...and if/when all goes well, back at the farm for a Holy Ghost Party! Please rally all the prayer warriors you can...and ask in His Name that the Son - Christ Jesus - brings glory to the Father on Friday through Jackson, Kelly, Dr. Emery, Dr. Sherman, Dr. Speer, Dr. Croutzer, Dr. McCaffery, the whole team of nurses and through each and every one of you!!!

[God I ask that you continue to open our eyes so we can see you at work! God, continue to open our ears so we can hear your voice of Truth! And God, open up our hearts - right now - so we can come to know your Son - our Lord and Savior - more as we dive into your Word!]

And that is my plea with you tonight...dive into His Word and let it engage, encourage and equip you, so that others may see Christ - His Love, His Joy, and His Peace - in your life! This world needs you to share the Love of Christ and Shine forth His Light in your life! Let the Holy Spirit lead you in prayer...and please know how much all your prayers mean! To see God demonstrate Himself over the last couple of hours/days - has been amazing! And don't ever give up on God-no matter what you are facing...because He never gives up on you!

Please continue to pray... and remember, our prayer must be for God's glory and purpose! For His Will not ours! Soli deo Gloria - to God be the Glory alone! Stand firm on what Christ taught us in John 14:13, that "YOU can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father."

Praise His Name - and Keep Your Eyes on Jesus!
