The Gift Was Wonderful!!!

"The Gift," our single mothers event, was wonderful! We invited single mothers to join us at Studio 412 this past Saturday, Valentine's Day, and we pampered and loved on them. They enjoyed manicures, pedicures, haircuts and styles, back massages, facials and some delicious food. We also washed and vacuumed their cars! What a treat! Every mother went home with a casserole that she could cook that night or put in her freezer for another day. Each also received a "loaded" goody bag (they even received a coupon for a free oil change compliments of Everett Maxey!) It was such a joy to share this special day with these precious ladies. They deserved it! We took pictures and will post some later this week. One of the mothers left with tears in her eyes. She said this was the best Valentine's Day she had ever had!

Good News

Your prayers worked ladies! Brayden's swallow test went well! They figured out what was going on and have adjusted his formula accordingly. Check out Jenna's website for a sweet picture of her holding and feeding her little darling. http://jennasjourneyblog.blogspot.com/

Little Harper is home and doing well. She is the cutest thing - you've got to check out Kelly's blog!! http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/

“The Gift ,“ our single mothers event is this Saturday, February 14th. Please pray specifically for "The Gift" this week. Pray for sunshine, good health for all of our volunteers and pray for the mothers who will be ministered to. Pray that they will feel the love of Jesus through us! We are so looking forward to loving on these precious ladies for a few hours!

We have an assignment!

Okay girls, we have an assignment tonight! Pray, pray, pray for little Brayden Wiley who is in Little Rock, AR Children's Hospital. Tomorrow morning he will be given a swallow test to help determine why he isn't taking his bottle. Pray that God will be with the doctors, nurses and technicians who will be administering this test. Pray that God gives them some clear answers that will help them find a solution to his difficulties. Then pray that God will continue to heal Jenna. After all, we all know that mothers aren't allowed to get sick! :)

Then praise our Lord! Little Harper Stamps is coming home! God has performed a miracle in that precious baby's life! Pray also for her mommy and daddy as they adjust to life at home with a new baby. Funny how life changes after baby comes home. The world revolves around this tiny little person - and that's just the way it should be!

These babies are a testimony to God's goodness and faithfulness - and that He is the Great Healer!

You've got your assignment for the night!

Harper and Brayden

Here is an update from Brayden's grandaddy from 1/28:
Today is a great day. God is watching over Brayden and all of his littleroom-mates. Brayden is focusing on real sleep, drinking his first bottle (1/2 of itanyway) and being held and loved. Mommy and Daddy have purchased every outfit Babies R US sells and have enjoyed changing his clothes regularly. Withdrawal medicine should be removed by next Tuesday. Brayden is happy, Mommy and Daddy are happy, and all grandparents are happy. Please keep Brayden, Harper, and all the other little sick ones in your prayers. Thank you all for your faithfulness in praying. God is doing awesome work in these hospitals. Grandaddy Horton.

Harper is getting better everyday too! Here is the first paragraph from her blog post from yesterday. THANK YOU FOR PRAYING FOR THE PICC LINE.........................Our prayers were answered above and beyond once again. Harper doesn't even need a PICC line!!!!! We got here this morning and the doctor had to do one test on her and then he said we could take her completely off the respirator and start feeding today!!!!! PRAISE MY JESUS!!!! The nurses were cheering - I was crying - it was just a great day! We didn't expect this for several more days!

Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!! "God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!" Ephesians 3:20
