Keep Praying and Amazing Joy

We are rejoicing and believe that our God is going to give Cohen a long healthy life! Following the good news from the geneticist, Emily and Chris were able to meet with the NICU doctor who advised them to proceed with a little more caution. As Cohen was born early, and is currently requiring some extra oxygen, we must continue to pray that the same God who has performed this miracle will see Cohen through this fragile time in his life - that his lungs will continue to mature. Praise our wonderful God. Please continue to petition Him for Cohen's health. -Kelley

Here is a picture of Chris and Emily sharing the news with us:

Here is a picture of their family rejoicing:

Psalm 126:1 -3

When the Lord brough back the captive ones of Zion, we were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter and our tongue with joyful shouting; Then they said among the nations, "The Lord has done great things for them." The Lord has done great things for us; We are glad.

How can anyone not visibly see the Lord God Almighty in each and every one of these pictures! Every bit of this makes all of our faiths much stronger!

This is such wonderful news and such a miracle. Praying for more miracles and for Cohen to continue getting stronger. Our God does great things to show Himself to all of us. Praying for all of you and for Emily's body to heal perfectly.
