Easter People

First...updates.

Chaia is incredible. She was on Hi-Flo all day today until midnight. Will be on CPAP overnight, then we will try Hi-Flo for 24 hours and see where she is at. No fevers. No withdrawls. No complications.

If Chaia is incredible, then Jack is smashing. His brain surgery on Monday went well and as many of you prayed, his speech remains in tact. He got discharged from the hospital today! Has a follow up appointment in a few days and if all is good, he's heading back to Ireland next weekend!

We will keep this Praying for Chaia competition going for a week. It is pretty neat, some of the unexpected ones we've received so far! But we are at around 20...so some of you need to get crackin!
**************************
Next. If you are a Christian, Sundays are known as 'mini-Easters'...a time that the people of God gather and celebrate that Christ is risen from the dead and this victory over sin changes history and changes our lives.

So I want you to worship like this is the case. Many of you scored an extra hour of sleep last night so you should be rarin' to go.

Give Worship all you have because God has demonstrated He is worthy in every moment of your day. In victory, He sustains you. In sorrow, He comforts you.

So today is the day...

To Lift High His Name.

To Sing Loud His Praise.

To Eat Richly His Word.

To Drink Deeply His Presence.

To Connect Meaningfully with His People.

Today is the day to go after Worship with everything you have in you. Because He is the God of Resurrection.

And Resurrection tells us the worst thing is never the last thing.

Glory to God!

I am so happy, praise God, that Chaia is incredible. Thank you Jesus. We have an incredible God. And Jack is incredibly smashing. Hallelujah!

This morning had prayer & worship @ 6am and then I read the good news about Chaia and Jack. It's like the icing on the cake. Thank you for the updates. We long to hear how you all are doing. My heart is ready for worship with His people.

God bless you and thank you for your encouraging words of exhortation.

God is great and greatly to be praised!

Amen and may God continue to bless ALL of you. You do not know me, but I have been forever changed by you, your wife and baby Chaia...I check up on her daily and we, as a family pray daily for you all and praise God daily for the work He has done....thank you for being an inspiration during this trying time. As a parent of 3 beautiful boys your story has touched me deeply....

That is just so amazing! I prayed so hard that this would be Jack's final surgery and he would be able to go home to his family! Also of course Miss Chaia is a rockstar!
