Life Summarized:

My photo
Hey! My name is Justin and I am married to my ridiculously awesome wife Jules. We are youth pastors at Christ Church of Orlando. Life, up 'til now is golden. Not only am I the student pastor of identity student ministries but I am also the worship leader at our church, the graphics and web designer and I run a photography business called J.Mikl Photography (www.jmikl.com). This isn't the only site I maintain. I have a youth site, a college site, a church site, and a photography business to manage. But that's enough of that. I love my life, my job, and my youth. I must say that I have one of the most time consuming jobs but I also have the best job in the whole world. We can't wait to see what God has in store for us and our quickly growing family. Someone once told me, "You gotta think BIG, dream BIG, and plan HUGE!"...they are words I now live by...

Indescribable Experience


Well, today was the day and man was it a long and hard day but so worth the process. Today Judah Avery Johnson came into the world at 5:34 pm on Thursday January 8th 2009 weighing 7 lbs 9.5 Oz. and measuring 20 inches in length. He has BIG beautiful blue eyes and the coolest peach-fuzz brown hair. Julie tried her best to push through the entire day and make it through to a NATURAL birth but her body just wasn't responding to the induction and so we went forward with a C-section. It was not our preference but we just wanted to do what was best for Judah. After being wheeled into the operating room and going through with the surgery, Julies epidural slipped out and her medication began to slip towards the end. Needless to say...she is feeling the affects of giving birth and she is in considerable pain. She is doing great but just keep her in your prayers as we continue to help her heal and get better so that she can take care of our new HEALTHY (Praise the Lord) baby boy. I am posting some pics of him because I am already giddy with pride. You can click on any of these photos and they should enlarge but you can also go to my personal MySpace by clicking HERE and it will take you to his LARGER photo gallery. Thank you for all your prayers and amazing encouragement. We appreciate each and everyone of our friends and family. We love you and can't wait to show Judah off!
