Halle is One!

With her big sister Ella about to have her first cupcake - I don't think she was too impressed!

Behind her are the darling little pictures of her with a summarized version of the below prayer on it ~

And little glass doves - representing HOPE!

Our sweet niece Halle turned 1 this weekend and is the cutest little thing.  When she was a few weeks old she had turned purple in her carseat so my sister-in-law rushed her to the doctor.  Not much came of all the doctors appointments except a heart monitor they had to lug around for weeks.  Finally they went to a pediatric cardiologist to just be released from the heart monitor.  They found out that day that her heart was indeed perfect and she didn't need the monitor but he made a comment that would change the course of everything.  He asked if anyone had said anything about William's Syndrome?  No - why and what is that?  They were shocked to say the least and after praying decided to follow up with the blood test that would confirm she did or did not have the syndrome.  {Before a diagnosis came back we started praying the word of God over her.  We knew the power of prayer from many seasons of life but knew the power of praying the WORD because one of our twins a few years ago had a stomach issue that we prayed and watched God heal and also an aunt we watched healed of cancer}.  So we began praying God's word over her!  I'll attach at the end of the post the specific prayer we are praying and we are watching God physically heal her before our eyes.  She is getting stronger every day and every doctor - eyes, ears, kidneys, ect that kids with Williams Syndrome need to routinely see have said the same - Her ears look perfect!  Her eyes look perfect!  Heart perfect!  Kidneys perfect!  And we celebrate His love and grace and healing power!  And we watch and celebrate the now - because He is our healer and Halle is a beautiful picture of that!  This week while praying for Halle God spoke that she is a worshiper and will teach many others to worship Him!  So we expectantly watch and wait and all the more right now know that out of the mouths of sweet babes He receives praise!

(I attached this as an example - if you are contending for healing for yourself or someone else right now)

And of course pray for Halle:

Pray for Halle Beth

We believe God for who He says He is and we believe He has protected and is completely healing Halle’s body.  Please join us in praying the fullness of God for Halle – that any place the enemy comes to steal, kill or destroy (John 10:10) Jesus has came not only to give her life but ABUNDENT LIFE – and we claim those promises over her.  Please join us in praying God’s word and promises over Halle!

This is an outline to pray because we believe when we agree and what we pray lines up with Heaven – Heaven comes to earth!

*God thank you that Halle is fearfully and wonderfully made and all the days ordained for her and the plans for her life you have already spoken into being! (Psalm 139:13-16)

*Thank you that Halle and her family dwell in the shelter of the Most High and rest in your shadow Almighty God; in you alone we entrust Halle to; and you cover her with your feathers and she will find refuge in you (Psalm 91:1-2; 4)

*Thank you that you have already paid for Halle’s complete healing (Is. 53:5)

*Lord thank you that Halle’s heart is strong and healthy – we declare it will remain that way in Jesus name.  That the elastin will not decrease and she will have no issues with her heart or the flexibility of any tissue in her body.  That the elastin in her body will be in perfect balance; not too loose or tight.

*That her blood calcium levels will be in proper levels

*Halle will have no feeding problems.  That she will be able to eat, keep it down and her body will use all the nutrients and calories to grow and be healthy.  We pray for increased weight gain and muscle strength in her neck, torso and limbs.

*We come against intestinal irritability and colic (especially in the next 6 months), reflux and vomiting.  We pray the comfort of God and peace of God over her little body.

*Against any developmental delays in body or mind – thank you that Halle is on her own healthy growth curve and she will continue and even increase growth and milestones in this first year of life.

*Thank you that you are developing her little mind to grasp and process information.  The neurons will fire and synapses will do their job and her vision and hearing perfect.  Every organ will function as they were intended to.

Over Brian and Sarah – Psalm 112:7 They will have no fear of bad news, their hearts are steadfast trusting in the Lord.

2 Timothy 1:7  They will not walk in fear, but Power, Love and Sound Mind.
