"Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ...For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true...be filled by the Holy Spirit, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts. Give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!" [Ephesians 5:1-20, NLT]
Christmas morning was always so amazing...the anticipation, the aroma, the family, the laughter, the food, and the memories that will last a lifetime! But don't forget the Light...and the birth of our Savior in a manager! Imagine the anticipation that must have built over those 9 months for Mary and Joseph, their family, friends and community. The surprise, the emotions, the pregnancy, the confusion, the uncertainty, the struggle within, and the delivery of a baby boy who's Name is above all Names - Christ Jesus! He is the Lord of Lords, King of Kings, Mighty God, Healer and Savior! He is the Prince of Peace, Wonderful Counselor, the Great I Am, the Way, the Truth and the Life! He is Living Water...and He is Light!
Today, the anticipation builds for Kelly and I - as well as our families, friends and community. We don't know what the news will be, we don't know the what the doctors will see, not see or think they see - but we do know one thing...the Healing, Majesty and Power of our Risen Savior will continue to reveal His Glory! His Light continues to shine bright - we Praise Him in this Storm - not just for the things He has done or going to do, but because of Who He Is! There is an overwhelming peace this morning, and yeah the anticipation of today is intense...but He is our Prince of Peace and is just holding us in His arms today!
Please continue pray for the "squeeze" - and over the many plans that will be discussed and decided upon today. I ask that you cover Kel and I, and the doctors in prayer! Pray for wisdom, discernment, unity and peace! Pray that God continues to "shock and awe" all of us! And continue to walk in the Light..."giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light." [Colossi ans 1:12, NIV]
We are so pumped - and can't wait to share with you the story of what the Holy Spirit reveals to us later this afternoon through the ultrasound and echo cardiogram for Jackson! Thank you so much for your continued prayers, encouragement and support! We serve an Awesome God - and He can and will continue to move mountains! Trust in Him...
All Eyes on Jesus...

(If you would like to tune in watch the show live tonight at 7pm - you can at www.ctvn.org or check your local listings! But, please be a prayin'!)
