Standing on Faith
Part I.
We had no idea in 2010 what God was getting ready to do in our lives. The past seven years, have been a walk with God like we have never walked. IF you have any doubt in your faith you MUST READ THIS.
Quick synopsis: Everything that could go wrong from kids, jobs, family, housing, transportation, food, church, friends, you name it - could and did go wrong this past seven years. We kept getting deeper in the Word of God and the more we did the more we were tried. The more we tried to rectify the things on this earth, the more our faith was tested in heaven. There was a strange feeling though that I have always had that it was okay this was happening. I didn't feel my life was over but boy was it uncomfortable. God has taught us many things, and some of those things I am sure that we likely don't know we learned.
The video above shows where we are now. Laguna Beach, California. No, we are not here on vacation, or holiday. We are here to take authority over what God has given to us and take back what is rightfully belonged to our child. We serve a very big God and there is nothing that is too big for HIM!
We were given an opportunity for our child to come to California for treatments with magnetic brain stimulation for seizure control. We were unsure at first and tried every way possible to justify why we shouldn't be here. We then said okay God, if this is really where you want us, you have to be totally obvious and open only your doors. Guess what He did? He opened all the doors. The story isn't finished... today was Day 1 of treatments for Abigaile. There will be more to come but this is the starting point. Abigaile has had seizures the past two days, multiple seizures. I will tell you today after the treatments, she didn't have one seizure. Glory to God! 1 Peter 2:24, Isaiah 53:5 says that by His stripes we are healed. Abigaile is healed and we are believing God for manifestation of that healing. Please continue to watch our videos as we go through treatments with Abigaile. She really had fun today and I am believing God to be true to His Word in Jesus name. Thank you for your prayers... Paris

Happy Birthday to Abigaile
The year of 7. The number of perfection. Abigaile had her 7th birthday yesterday and I can't tell you how awesome it is. So sweet my big girl. What an image of what God created and His reminder of just how awesome He truly is.
We started out the day with all of Abigailes favorite things to eat from chocolate to pizza and a smoothie. We are limited on what we can give to her but she had a good day! We topped it off with a chocolate cake and a Elmo Encore!
We are making plans to get out to California. I never realized how difficult it would be to coordinate all of this. I also have quilt orders to get making and get out. I am thankful for them they are much needed right now. I just need more time to work on them. I will be posting pictures later of the Birthday girl as soon as I upload them to the computer.

Facing the Giants
I had something to happen today that really ate at the core of my being. I am so thankful that when I am getting ready to say something, or do something really stupid God stops me and says; I am God!
Whoa. First of all, let me say I love God with all my heart, soul and spirit and would never want His job I have difficulty doing my own job at times. Let me set the stage for you and tell you what happened so you can see God in this. I will also leave a link at the end with Abigailes caringbridge page so that you can see God in yesterday also. When we think He isn't there, or aren't thinking about it, He is there. I want to share two stories very relevant to our well-being and to our daughters care and our lives. Let me tell you, God is there !
We are tooling right along waiting for things to happen in our lives. It is not something that we are dependent upon, but have been told it will happen. Today I got a phone call and was told those very things were no longer in our control, no longer going to happen, and we would be at the disposal of someone else. Someone, that might not have the same interests, the same goals, or the same faith that we do. I reacted with the flesh or no that can't happen, and anger hit me. Then I was hurt, felt betrayed, lied to and suddenly I trusted no one. Those people working for us to get us to this point, a slap in the face. So much for trusting. I had to stop thinking, ask the person on the other side of the phone, "Please repeat this so I can understand, process and simply try and understand why, how this could happen. What did we do wrong? Are you following me? If so, and you can say I have been there. This story is for you. Yes it really happened. If you think about it this is common when the enemy is at hand. We were then told there is nothing WE can do about it, everything in regard to your daughter is going to be at the control helm of someone else, another thing I don't like. I am a parent. I need to be included on my daughters care, decisions made regarding her care. Not that this is a bad person, but I know my child I know what has been working, what hasn't. I prayed before I stuck my foot in my mouth, and told the person on the other end of the line. I don't understand but I trust and so we have God carry us. Here is what my flash felt initially:

they are cold, heartless and callous ! Then, God began to speak to me, "hey you remember Me? I am! It stopped me in my tracks. I went to the book (electronically speaking) of Ephesians. I went looking for okay, hear me out enemy this is what God says, and I know when God speaks and what He says is truth!` I was bragging on God earlier in the day at Deuteronomy 6 talking about the awesome home that He has for us, and how He (God) has supplied everything we will need for it. It was hours later that the enemy was already trying to take it away. God put me in the book of Ephesians 6. Glory to God! The next thing I saw was this: The LORD your God directed me to teach you to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess so that you your children and their children after them may fear the LORD your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you so that you may enjoy long life. I know that the Word of God never lies, and God is no respector of persons. If you are His child, you are His child! Hear O Israel be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey just as the LORD the God of your fathers promised youGod promised follow His Word Deut 6:1-3 He said, if you abide by my Word you have my promise. I (Paris) am not perfect but I do know that God stays true to His Word. I am going to give you in my Word what you already know to do: It's a reaffirmation: For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. NIV Eph. 6:12 I was hoping that He would say, here I'll just take care of that situation for you, we have to meet Him halfway, remember He has already fought the battle for us, we have to have faith so we can receive that blessing of deliverance. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. Eph 6:13-15 then there was addition to this: In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. Eph. 6:16-19 Then this is a good reminder anytime! 19Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should. Eph. 19-20. Glory be to God! I know when I entrust everything that is rightfully His already, me, my family and anything that is in our possession of His trust He is carrying us, and He (God has already won the battle) Amen.
with much love,
and walking in Gods love,

Abigaile's Foundation was started for our community in Northwest Arkansas. We are becoming a non-proofit organization to be able to serve the families and children with special needs who need resources. Those resources are not always found in Insurance, state insurance, or private donations for children with medical or equipment needs. We started the organization because our daughter needed equipment that would help her to get better, to heal, and to be able to walk again with no assistance giving her independence. Our insurance, state insurance, and community programs did not fund the special piece of equipment called a kidwalk gait trainer for her. They are $5000.00. We eventually rallied and got her the equipment. We have had other children and families as well as United States Veterans ask about our gait trainer that we name Raszberry Smoothie, that is our daughter Abigailes favorite drink. We decided to start an organization to help others with disabilites to obtain necessary equipment not normally paid for by insurance so that those children could be more independent therefore helping them to integrate back into society.

God gives life... the enemy comes to kill, steal, and destroy
Time to update everyone, well as much as possible as to where things are with our Abigaile and family. Let me first say that God is God and that is where we stand!
We believe that with every ounce we have in us, our entire family that Abigaile is healed. We have been standing on Isaiah 53:5 that says Jesus took those infirmities no matter what they are called, what the reports say and no matter who has given with what kind of education we believe she is healed!
We had an appointment with the real- Dr. who has been treating Abigaile since day 1. We had labs drawn, went to Florida to visit the man who has actually been praying for her and has been the only one who has treated anything to do with her care now. He has been such a blessing to our family I hope that Dr. J. knows this! We got some news while in Florida that some of the labs was showing not such a good level for Abigailes thyroid. In fact, it was failing. We came back home and have started her on thyroid medications. So far she has only been able to tolerate 1/2 the dose that she has ordered. As soon as she can tolerate this, it will be time for labs again we are getting close.
Abigaile has had treatment before with HBOT and combined with her therapies she really made strides. We have prayed about it and I can't tell you how chaotic it is to have a child with the needs that she does and she has improved, it is just mom is getting tired from no breaks.
We have discussed the type of care, and following from a credible Dr such as Dr J who is knowledgabl
We have been hesitant to move in the past because of the job, but feel that if any parent were faced with this decision they wouldn't hesitate. We have dealt with Dr.s and therapists who didn't know how to treat Abigaile. We aren't getting the necessary equipment for her needs. We flat out are isolated where we are at and wish to be a part of others who are making a difference and ministering to these families and children. We don't have any tentative dates for moving yet. What we are doing is looking for a home to rent in the Irivine Ca. area or close by, and if need be, the girls and I will move and Allen can visit until the job spot opens for him. We are blessed by God and believe that He will provide all our needs according to His riches in glory. Phil. 4:19. So we are cleaning out, packing and believing God to show us big things in our present and future. He is no respector of persons.
We all feel peace with this decision. It is a big decision and it is a little intimidatin
I am still going to do Abigailes Foundation here in NW Arkansas for the equipment ministry, I am working on getting someone in place to help. Allen will do so until he moves with us. We don't know yet if this is a permanent move but feel it is the right direction for now to go.
Prayer requests: God and only God, absolutely God, nothing but God in our decisions, in our actions, in our will! Pray for Abigailes body that the thyroid and any other functions of her body that need to straighten up and work as God has designed them to work! God created her in His image, so everything she has, is in the image of God (He is perfect) her organs, functions, everything in her body will function as He designed it to do. Gen. 1:27. I'll end with saying I love God more than ever He is always there for me even when I have not understood His ways. I will ask for prayer like Solomon, and ask God for His Wisdom, Peace, and Strength.

5If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

ANSWERED PRAYER .... KIDWALK GAIT TRAINER
This is our fun blog so no sad stuff on here. But I have to just say Praise and Glory be to God! We got a Kidwalk Gait Trainer. Check out http://abigaileg.blogspot.com/
for the entire story! You will love it! Got more here for later but will close for now.
I know we aren't suppose to beg and plead to God, so I repent, but God please take the cold away. We also should not covet, I repent this also, please God I'm jealous of those people in Hawaii, I'd really like their warmer weather. I used to be jealouse of those people in Flordia, but not anymore. Praying for friends, family and people who are dealing with this awful cold. I am praying for the homeless that they learn to rely on God so he can give them the kingdom. Praying everyone stays safe and warm.
Love,
your faithful servant!
