Baby update: NO BABY YET:( We have had some pre-labor stuff but the big event has not started.... Pray over Lindsey's delivery that she would encounter the love of God through it!

As we wait for baby Croy to come God has been sharing his heart on his birthing process for his kingdom coming to earth! So many days go by without us pondering the thought that God is coming back to earth to reclaim his rightful place as king :O My heart lights on fire as I type!

Matthew 24: 4-14

⁴Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. ⁵For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ, and will deceive many. ⁶You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.⁷Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. ⁸All these are the beginning of birth pains.

⁹"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. ¹⁰At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, ¹¹and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. ¹²Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, ¹³but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. ¹⁴And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

As Lindsey gets prepared for the birthing process we are brought to the idea of truthfully what it will look like for the earth to give birth to Jesus' Millennial Kingdom. As the western church we shy away from anything that brings pain but pain is required in birth for the body to be ready and for the new creation to be birthed! I love how in everything on this earth God points back to himself. How can people deny that He exists?

One thing that struck our attention was that researchers have found that the baby actually initiates the birthing process and tells the body when it is time to give birth. I will let you draw the conclusions.

Intro is going well and our new interns are amazing! Keep praying that God would restore them body, soul, and spirit.
