Hayleigh Joy is blowing away all our expectations! She is healing well. She is being a being a good little Boober and taking ALL her medicine (unlike some members of this family). Her grandma from California arrived safely despite the MONSOON that blew through the area and knocked out our power. Needless to say we had some quiet bonding time while the candles burned! Hayleigh was being quite the little ham for Mommy, Grandma and Daddy (no TV, Radio or even big sister's around to steal the attention)so she just sat on the floor and smiled from ear to ear for hours. She played w/ her toys and just made sure we were watching.
She has not really showed any signs of pain or discomfort. Appetite is improving. She is continuing to cough very well to get rid of the extra fluid. (Michelle the nurse from DMC Cardiology would be proud) No more episodes of "explosive diarrhea" that several DMC Nursing staff had the displeasure of experiencing! (thank God for small favors)
PLEASE, PLEASE lift up baby ELLA to the Lord in prayer and let's overwhelm the Throne of God! Please click the link to the left of your screen to read her story. The Pannecouk (pronounced PAN-A-COOK; thanks Jason for helping out with that!) Family is wonderful, but they are weary after so much that has gone on and the length of the stay. Sound very drained and just need some good news and ultimately desire to go home. Thanks.
Well it is time to sleep now. More pix to come as Grandam is taking plenty. Thank you all for the wonderful birthday wishes and gifts.
Until next time...

HELLO PRAYER PARTNERS!!1st Week Of JULY 2008
Let's PRAISE THE LORD!!Living in the RainRain is symbolic of God's blessing, favor, and refreshing. His Word is like rain that causes us to flourish and blossom in every area of life. The scripture says we should live like a well-watered garden, vibrant and growing. We should live under God's cloud of blessing. How do we do that? In the natural, a cloud is formed when moisture vapors rise up from the earth into the atmosphere. Eventually, the moisture is so abundant that the rain begins to fall. In the same way, your praise is like the invisible vapors that rise up to heaven and form a cloud. Eventually, your praise will activate an outpouring of God's blessing, favor, and provision in your life.
Do you feel like you are in a dry season? Begin to praise and thank God that He is bringing you through to a place of refreshing. Magnify and bless Him for His goodness in your life. As you turn up your praise, God will turn up the rain and you will experience His abundant outpouring. You'll experience His blessing and provision and live as an overcomer in every area of your life.
Today I choose to bless and honor God. Thank You Lord for this day. Thank You for giving me life. Thank you for making me new. Thank you for saving me and filling me with Your peace and joy. Rain on me today. (Lucia)

Refuse to Worry
Today's Scripture
"Who of you by worrying can add a single minute to your life" (Matthew 6:27).
Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
God doesn't want you to live worried and anxious about anything. He knows that worry is counterproductive. It steals your peace and joy and affects every area of your life, even your sleep! Have you heard the saying, "Don't worry yourself sick?" Yes, worrying will actually make you physically ill. You won't ever gain anything by worrying, in fact it causes you to lose precious moments that you can never live again. The good news is, God has promised to bring you victory over worry. When you make the choice to put an end to worry, God will give you His peace.
Decide today to put an end to worry in your life. Don't feed worry by focusing on bad news all the time. Sure, we should be informed, but we should be most informed of the truth of the Word of God. Choose today to feed your faith and fill your heart and mind with God's promises. Declare everyday, "My God shall supply all my needs. He makes a way out of no way. He is a Restorer and Redeemer." As you focus on God's Word, you'll drive out worry and fill your heart with faith and expectancy. You'll be filled with hope and joy and move forward into the blessings God has in store for you.
A Prayer for Today
Heavenly Father, today I choose to put an end to worry in my life. I choose to feed my faith by studying in Your promises and declare your Word over my life. Help me to totally trust in You today and always. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
Have a safe and wonderful Holiday!!
With much love to all of you !From Judy and Lucia
