Waiting on Baby Long!
Wow. Where shall I begin? So many things going on in our lives, the biggest being the arrival of baby Long. I am due in just a few, short weeks. I must admit I’m pretty miserable at this point. Sleep is hard to come by and I have little energy. But, I know the end result is going to be spectacular. I can’t wait to see if we have a boy or girl. We will definitely be posting our big news when the day finally arrives.
Also, Greg and I are helping lead worship at Woodlands Church in Texas. We are really enjoying this new opportunity.
Well, hope you are having a wonderful 2010. I know God is up to great things in all of our lives. Sometimes, we just have to slow down and see where He is moving.
Many blessings and I hope to be reporting baby news soon.

YEAH – SO CLOSE !!! How awesome is that! It's Doug from the Fish – let us know so we can let everyone know
I am very happy for both of you that you have this opportunity. My husband and I are still helping to lead worship at the Cottage Prayer Chapel in Uniontown, OH and we are seeing a tremendous amount of growth in attendance whereas when we first started at this church, we were only averaging 5 to 10 people in attendance. We now are averaging anywhere between 20 and 50 people in attendance.
I was at the free Grand Haven concert that you did on the waterfront last summer(absolutely awesome and thank you!)… and you had just announced that you were pregnant. I can't believe your baby is already due… time sure did fly (easy for me to say since I'm not the one carrying the child).
Best wishes and God Bless!!
Will be praying for your baby! Just learned of this news, and I am so happy for your family!!!
We love your music and devotion to Jesus. Our prayers are that your delivery is smooth. You are indeed blessed with the spirit of God. We are especially happy that you are leading in the Woodland campus services.
Can't wait to hear about the new little Long. Is it another girl? We're praying for you guys with all you have going on – with the baby coming and Greg's dad being so ill. Blessings from the Braugh family in Dallas, TX.
just wondering how Curt is doing? It would be nice to have you here and lead worship.

First of all, Thank you guys for your songs and your passion about Jesus. i will tell you that thanks to God and one of your songs that touched me deeply inside me, I gave my life to Jesus. So I guess that this will make me a new baby in the christianity world, so different from my old one (I was agnostic). My church is helping me a lot, but I confess that your songs are helping me a lot. This is why I needed to contact you, Avalon, to ask God for His mighty bless to all of you, your family and all the rest of them that will come in the future. Keep my heart pounding hard as when I listen to you. Adolfo

I love seeing you every Sunday at Woodlands Church… You are such a great role model.. Keep up the great work!

I just to wanted to thank you Janna & Avalon in its many transitions since I first saw you back in the early 90's in Florida, for blessing me persoally with such beautiful and inspiring music. I took my mother that first night , and she being a lifelong Catholic , was blown away, ant the outpouring of spirit through the music that night . I come from a musical family, and spent many years in bands with my siblings . My sister who like you was a fan of Aretha's and some others Whitney& Patti Labelle. We were talking the other night I had just gotten her your new Cd "Reborn" she was saying when ever she needs to reconnect with God's spirit through music , she puts on Janna Long's solo Cd. We both agree although those other women are talented ,and have done memorable work in their musical careers , It is Janna Long that is at the top of our list, for most inspiring, and lasting contributions. Wishing you and Greg every bountiful blessing possible with the coming birth of your third child , and in each and every other way that God might choose to work his wonder Peace & Love

Rejoice! It will be over all too soon! God bless you both and the little one!
thanks for the update,hang in there Janna, GOD bless you people.
I have attended the Woodlands church as a visitor and have been moved in praise & worship while there, I had never heard or seen of your band before, but am amazed at the gift God has given ya'll & I praise Him for your honor of Him, thank you for honoring Him with the gift he has given you.
I would LOVE to know the next time you are in the Woodlands. I have been a fan since right after Cheri (was that her name?) joined. I remember when Michael left and Greg joined. I remember when Liliana was born. Then Jody had to leave due to his health. I have been here all along. I have 95% of your albums. I haven't seen you since Nov 08 when you did the Christmas tour with Casting Crowns and Natalie Grant. Melissa announced that she was pregnant with #2 at that concert. To know that you were THAT close (the Woodlands) and I missed you is so TERRIBLY sad. Jeremy and Amy live in Fl. Do Janna and Greg still live in Nashville? You are my people. AKW
