About Our Family

August 21st 2008, I married the love of my life. April 26th 2009, we were blessed with a son- Gabriel (meaning "God is my strength"). He was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at one month old. But we aren't settling for that. We have faith in God to heal him and give him devine health. Gabriel Isaac, "a miracle waiting to happen." And what a miracle he has been already! God continually gives him amazing health! A year and a half later we had the desire in our hearts to try for a second child. We prayed and trusted God not to give us any more than we could handle- hoping for a healthy CF free second child, and deep down wanted a girl. June 15th 2011, we were blessed with a daughter, we named her Ellie Grace "Shining Light". Two weeks later, we found out she does not have CF. Thank you God for all the miracles you let my husband and I witness ♥

Revelation...


I have been having a revelation the past few days about healing. I have had several people tell me that maybe Gabe having CF is "just God's plan for his life" and "to learn to accept it, that maybe God's plan isn't to heal him". I say no. Yes, I do believe it is God's plan that he was born with CF, because it has brought my husband and I soo much closer to God, our relationship with Him has grown immensely and I do believe God has huge plans for us! When has God ever told anyone that they can't be healed? God desires to heal His people in every instance. In fact, God desires that no sickness be among His people (Deuteronomy 7:15) Yet in many cases, people still have illness because they fail to obey Him faithfully. Obedience and faith are prerequisites to covenant fulfillment. Without them we cannot receive from God for He doesn't reward rebellion nor can He operate in disbelief. If you are willing to let Him, God will do all that He has promised to do for you according to His word. God tells us in order to receive His miracles we must have faith in Him. FULL faith in Him alone. And of course, it's always in God's timing, He honors those who stay patient and faithful to Him. Every day I wake and think "this could be the day" and I have a good day knowing Gabriel's miracle is coming in God's timing. Not an hour too late, not even a minute, not even a second too late! Praise God!


Deuteronomy 7:12-15
12 “Then it shall come to pass, because you listen to these judgments, and keep and do them, that the LORD your God will keep with you the covenant and the mercy which He swore to your fathers. 13 And He will love you and bless you and multiply you; He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock, in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you. 14 You shall be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be a male or female barren among you or among your livestock. 15 And the LORD will take away from you all sickness, and will afflict you with none of the terrible diseases of Egypt which you have known, but will lay them on all those who hate you.


2 Kings 5:10
And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored to you, and you shall be clean.”

Isaiah 65:24
“It shall come to pass
That before they call, I will answer;
And while they are still speaking, I will hear.

Exodus 15:26
and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.”

Sometimes I don't feel worthy...

Sometimes I don't feel worthy of all that God has given me...

My husband. He's just so made-just-for-me, I sit there in awe sometimes at how much I love him and how much we just "click". And you know why? Because we BOTH put God first. In our marriage, in parenting, and every aspect of our lives; That right there keeps our marriage strong and awesome (along with communicating well and some other things, of course). He is a wonderful daddy, so gentle yet fun and so caring. And treats me like I am the only woman on the planet, he makes me feel so loved and special :) He's my best friend.

And my son. He is THE BEST gift God has ever given me. I feel so honored, and chosen. God hand-picked Robert and I to raise this amazing little blessing. Gabriel is so happy and has the best personality ever, he can brighten anyone's day. He makes me feel so smitten. I tear up all the time just staring at him and thinking "Wow... Robert and I made him..." And I think of day when he will be taller than me and all grown up and it makes me sad yet so full of joy at the same time. I look at his little ring finger and think someday it'll wear a ring and he won't be my little baby anymore... So I cherish every moment. Raising him is my dream come true <3

And our families. They have been so wonderful and supportive. I appreciate my mom so much more than I ever have now that I'm a mom myself. Thank you for everything, mom. God knew I needed a radical Christian mom to instill faith into me for what He had planned for my future. God knows just how to make me feel special and loved... And I'm just so thankful! March 25th and 26th is Miracle Service in PHX. We are believing God for Gabe's healing! If it's God's timing, it'll happened undoubtedly! Keep us in your prayers, thanks!
