šŸŽ—ļøJust because there’s cancer doesn’t mean there can’t be JOYšŸŽ—ļø

It’s been one year since Jett was diagnosed with B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. One year of chemo, one year of medications, one year of procedures, one year of port accesses, one year of constant hospital visits & stays, one year of learning, & one year of fighting. 

And the craziest part is we aren’t even close to being done. We’re not even a year in to a 2.5 year treatment protocol. And so right now, we are still very much in the trenches. 

But in this season, there’s something that I am learning about the trenches — God is there too. And joy is there too. And that doesn’t mean it’s not hard, and that doesn’t mean that there’s never deep pain or grief — but it does mean that there’s a constant hope. 

It really is the paradox of Christianity — that we can walk through the hardest, most painful, most heartbreaking trials and YET, at the exact same time, we can experience the most genuine hope & joy in Christ. Because we know that He’s with us, and working for our good, and revealing Himself to us in the midst of it. 

This year I’ve learned that there really is this inexplicable joy that can only come from seeing Him in the midst of deep pain and suffering. And when I look at my family, all I can see is that joy. 

I am so insanely grateful that my sweet friend @sarahashleyphotography captured these pictures of our family in the midst of Jett’s treatment. Because whenever I look back on this season years from now, I wanna remember that there was joy too. That in the midst of all the hard, there really was a deep, undeniable joy that only could’ve come from Christ. 

This year wasn’t a guarantee. And it definitely wasn’t owed to us. But we are so grateful to God for every minute that we’ve gotten with our sweet Fighter Jett. 

We are so proud of you, sweet boyšŸ’› by @marinblack17

Back in November, Michael preached a message on seeing Christ rightly and seeing His rule & reign right now. As he read through Revelation 19, I sat in my seat convicted — recognizing that I had NOT been seeing Christ rightly, but I wanted to. 

I decided to read Revelation 19 every day that week — knowing that only the Scripture could adjust my view of Christ — that only the Scripture could allow me to see Him rightly in His rule & reign and to see Him rightly in His full resurrection power. 

And as I read Revelation 19, the Lord starting giving me words to write down. And I didn’t know it at the time, but it was verse 3 of the song. Then through the month of December, as I studied Christ throughout the entirety of the Word, He gave me more and more passages to dissect & more lyrics to write down. And at that point, I was able to see the fullness of the song that He had given me.

In January, Michael & I took it to DonTre’ — FULLY expecting Him to take one look at me & my lyrics and to say that we needed to have someone else rap & record it. But he didn’t. He looked at me and said, ā€œIt’s gotta be you. It’s gotta be your voice.ā€ 

And as terrified as I was, I knew in my heart that I needed to try. Even if I failed. Even if I looked ridiculous. Even if it confused people. Even if I got to the end of it and we decided that someone else needed to record it — The Lord was asking me to try. And so I did. 

And after several months of working with @dontre.murphy413 , Gabe, and @kendrickoakley — some of the most GIFTED artists I’ve ever met in my life — we’re here. And it’s finished. And it’s released on all platforms. 

And so today, I want to share it with you. Not because I think it’ll ever amount to anything, not because I’m trying to become something, not because I think I’m a real rapper — but because the Scriptures in this song have given me a deeper revelation of Christ than I’ve ever had before. And I’m praying that as you listen, the Word of God will do the same thing for you. And that maybe, as the Scripture works in our hearts, we will ALL begin to see Christ more & more rightly.
