A Miracle in the making - Anna Joy

My friend Alissa is the strongest and bravest woman I know. She was the maid of honor in my wedding, and seriously a sister to me during our time in missions with YWAM. She loves the Lord so dearly and trusts Him with so much! Recently she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Anna Joy. This sweet little girl has two different heart defects and the doctors didn't give her much time to live after birth, and if she did, they knew that many operations would have to take place.

Well This little miracle is a fighter! She did have to go in for heart surgery after only 9 hours of life, but she is recovering and doing well. Please, please be praying for continued progress for Anna Joy, and her family!

Please go and check out their blog for more information! And leave them some comment love on their page!

Thank you so much!

Her story once again leads me to gratitude. Thank you Jesus for healthy children in our lives, and for the grace and mercy you are showing to Anna Joy!

Insta-Friday. Instagram Weekly Photos.

Linking up with Life Rearranged
It's a great way to share all those photos and it's got me taking more pictures!
Sooooo here we go!

My Dad is a handy man out here in Arizona, and he's the keeper of this castle up on Camel back Mountain. He had to do some handy stuff so we went up with him to take a look around. 

The whole driveway was decorated with all these white stones. The whole castle was built with the rock of the area. Pretty cool.. actually really cool, it was freezing up there!

This is my arty pic from the balcony. I love cacti and wrought iron. 

And the door knockers were epic. The whole place really! I kept saying "Nice Knockers". Nobody laughed. *sigh*

The stain glass alone was amazing! This place is like an actual castle. It's nuts. 

Then we bundled up and headed to the Grand Canyon! My brother and his girlfriend had never been. And Emily kept calling it the "Green Canyon", at first it was really what she thought we were saying... then it became her own little joke! 

It was cold and this little girl did so good! She's happy no matter what! Such a blessing from God!

My brother and his girlfriend are down there somewhere.... it was too scary for me! But I loved the view!

These are just a few of the other pics of Thanksgiving weekend. Yes my daughter is still wearing her Tinkerbell costume as often as she can! This girl loves holidays!

This is how my daughter "helps". She wanted to give Sandie a treat! Sure the door is closed and she can't get to them... DETAILS!!!!.... she'll just let her STARE at her treats! Hilarious!

We don't have a tree yet but we were looking! 

This is my favorite! We are all getting into the Christmas spirit in our house! I love that EmJ is so silly! Merry Christmas!!!!!
