Zoe's MRI has been rescheduled

Hello everyone,
I just want to let you all know that Zoe's MRI has been rescheduled because she is very congested and they might not have done the MRI if we had gone all the way up there. Hopefully, it will be next Monday or Tuesday. I will let everyone know the new date when I do. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers and please continue to pray the Zoe's tumor will be gone with this next MRI.
Thanks,
Andie

Christmas Pictures at the Natural Baby!






Due to the wonderful success of the Halloween Portrait Session Fundraising Event for Zoe, The Natural Baby and I have decided to do it all again! Join us on December 5, 2009 for the Watkinsville Christmas Parade. We will also be having free mini-portrait sessions again from 10AM to 2PM, complete with a Christmas Tree, for your children. If you would like to donate at this time for Zoe, you may. Photographs will again be available for a small fee. You may also purchase bracelets, ribbons, and ornaments to benefit Zoe at this event. We hope to see everyone there!

November 5, 2009: A Prayer for Zoe

If you are praying for Zoe, I ask you to please read this entry all the way through.

My dad was given a specific scripture during his devotionals in the last few days. The verse is Matthew 21:18-24: Jesus Curses the Fig Tree.

"In the morning, when he returned to the city, he was hungry. And seeing a fig tree by the side of the road, he went to it and found nothing at all on it but leaves. Then he said to it, 'May no fruit ever come from you again!' And the fig tree withered at once. When the disciples saw it, they were amazed, saying, 'How did the fig tree wither at once?' Jesus answered them, 'Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' it will be done. Whatever you ask for in prayer with faith, you will receive."

He was also given this from Robert Collier's, Riches Within Your Reach.

"Philip of Macedon, Alexander's father, perfected the 'phalanx' - a triangular formation which enabled him to center the whole weight of his attack on one point in the opposing line. It drove through everything opposed to it. In that day and age it was invincible. And the idea is just an invincible today.

Keep one though in mind, SEE it being carried out step by step, and you can knit any group of workers into one homogenous whole, all centered on the one idea. You can accomplish any one thing. You can put across and definite idea. Keep that mental picture even in mind and you will make it as invincible as was Alexander's phalanx of old.

'It is not the guns or the armament,
Or the money they can pay.
It's the close cooperation
That makes them win the day.
It is not the individual
Or the army as a whole
But the everlasting teamwork of every bloomin' soul.'
-J. Mason Knox

The error of the ages is the tendency mankind has always shown to limit the power of Mind, or it's willingness to help in time of need."

My purpose in writing this blog is to create an army; to knit a group of workers into "one homogenous whole." We have all been praying for Zoe, but we have been praying for different things. All of them are good and noble, but all are different. Some of us have been praying for the tumor to disappear. Some of us have been praying for the tumor not to get any bigger. Some of us have been praying that God's will be done, whatever that may be. We need to unite in ONE prayer and make that prayer our phalanx for Zoe.

Up until and on November 17th (the date of Zoe's MRI), I would like everyone to be praying that the doctors come back from Zoe's MRI and ask us, "how could the fig tree wither so quickly?" How did her tumor go away? How did it disappear so quickly?

And I firmly believe that if the army that is praying for Zoe is focused on one thing, the disappearance of Zoe's tumor, then it WILL come to pass.

We have asked, and we shall receive.
