We Finally Did It!



Well, the Johnson family has finally made it into the blogging world, and we are quite excited. Our prayer is that this site would not just be a place to give you updates and share pictures(although it will be that)... but a place to share with you Christ's amazing grace in our lives, His glory in our salvation, His strength in our weaknesses, and His all sufficient wisdom.

May our prayer each day be that we "do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind, regard one another as more important than ourselves," and that we "do not merely look our for our own personal interests, but also for the interests of others, having this attitude in ourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Phil. 2:3-11) AMEN!

Wow! I don't know if our finite minds will ever fully grasp the fullness of this passage, but may we strive daily to be like our Savior, and live for His glory!
