  3. Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl.

    I was directed to your blog by a friend. I used to live in Olympia and know quite a few people who attend your church.

    My son was born with a heart defect as well. I understand what you are feeling right now. I am praying for wisdom for the doctors, healing for Anna and peace to you and your family. My son is 12 now and lives a normal, healthy life -- despite tremendous odds. I hope that is an encouragement to you. It's not an easy road, but it is a fulfilling one. May God bless you all.

  4. I don't know your family personally, but I found your blog through a mutual friend. Anna Joy is absolutely beautiful ... congratulations to you and your family. My family will be lifting up prayers to the good Lord for you today and in the days to come. With love from a fellow believer.

  8. Hi Matt...this is Beth Swanson Miles (we knew each other as kids). Praying for your little one. Heard about her from Sherry Duerre (my cousin-in-law). Had a premie myself and know that prayers are always needed. I'll keep your little one in my prayers and keep checking in here for updates.

    God bless....

  20. Alissa, you probably don't remember me but I went to church at Richland Naz many moons ago when your family attended. (Your parents sang in my parents' wedding, Phil and Patti Baldwin.) Anyway, I just wanted you to know that my family is also praying for healing, comfort, peace, and pure JOY for your family! Baby Anna Joy is precious. May you feel His arms wrapped around you during this time and know He has Baby Anna Joy so delicately placed in His hands! God is good...all the time!

  22. She is so beautiful. She looks great. She is an angel before she came into this world and now she is here, so all of us can see what an angel she really is. Praise GOD for this little miracle called Anna. GOD bless this family and thank you for all the blessings that have been received since the day she was conceived. Thank you JESUS!
