Just wanted to update ya’ll with this email from Becca today about Riley. A Major thing today happened with our favorite baby girl in the world. as always, you can keep up with them for more details on their blog….. -big John
—————————————————————————–
While in the hospital today with Riley her genetisis came to see us . . . He said that they did a full genetic maping of Riley’s DNA where they looked at her full genetic code and SHE HAS NO ABNORMALITIES!!!!!!! She does not have SMA, she does NOT have ANY genetic disorders!!!! Her DNA is perfect!!!!! She does not have a degenerative disease!!! He said that their best guess is that something happened while she was in the womb that did cause some nuerological damage but she will not continue to get worse - there is actually hope for her to get better! More details and stuff of course are still coming in but we just found out and I had to tell all of you so that we can send big praises up! She is still sick and still dealing with everything we were dealing with yesterday but HOPE has come back on the scene! GOD is so increadible!!!!!!!!!!! I love you all and will update more soon when I am more clear headed and not freaking out because I am so pumped at how awesome our GOD is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE,
Becca

It’s been the kind of journey that’s hard to talk about, makes it difficult to pray, and leaves us just sitting with no answers. For 3 months now, we’ve been praying for Baby Riley, a baby born in late February to one of our youth pastors here at Celebration… Josh, and his wife Becca. she has been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and after a time when she was finally able to come home, she’s back in the hospital with pneumonia today.
Josh stopped by my office today, and we prayed for Riley together with Sean Yost for a moment. Josh has been reading the Shack in the hospital as Riley’s back in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) this weekend.
Riley’s the freshest thing on my mind today, as I can’t get her face out of my heart. And I’m not sure I want to. I encourage you to say a prayer for her and goto her parents blog to get updates, see pictures, and leave prayers. They are such amazing people, and the pictures of Riley’s big brother Ayden will melt you.

I’m sitting at my desk pretty completely worn out after an amazing Shine women’s conference here at Celebration Church, where over 1400 women came through the doors this weekend to really get a touch of heaven. It was so good to see our ladies get fired up, healed up, and delivered out into the world to bring on the love revolution!
I worked the conference along with our staff as the perimeter zone leader, and here are some big takehomes I received from the messages this weekend that I was able to hear-
