No matter how intense the battle, how hard the struggle, how gripping the storm or overwhelming the fear...be strong and courageous is the charge - because the Lord God Almighty reigns and goes with us!
Morning Update:
We were surpised abundantly through out the night and early morning! We both received great rest - though it be only 4hrs! Jackson slept well...and both mommy and daddy had some very wonderful quiet moments of prayer with baby Jackson in the early morning hours during pedialite bottles in preparation for the surgery!
Our "getting around" went peacefully...and the first miracle of the morning occured at 5:15am! Kelly and I were ready to go! Can you believe that? We were actually early! Then the second miracle occured...an angel showed up in our driveway with a home-made fruit smoothie for Kelly, who has not been able to eat well due to her struggles with her jaw. How awesome is our God - supplying for our every need! His mercies are new every morning!
We arrived and registered at 6:15am...and Jackson was prepped ready to go by 7:15. He was a little fussy and hungry...but he was strong! Here was the moment that gripped my hear this morning as Jackson snuggled in his favorite place - mommy's arms! He knows where to look for strength, peace and rest in the midst of a storm! The faith of his mother!

And at 7:45am we walked down the hall and handed our little big man over to our team of doctors, nurses, surgeons and our Healer! He was fussy heading back to the OR, but strong! Mommy and Daddy are again in a familiar spot with familiar faces-waiting in the CICU!
It is now time to be still! Do not be afraid or discouraged for the Lord God Almighty reigns and is with us!
All eyes on Jesus!
