Meet Heather

My name is Heather Nix. I have been married to my high-school sweetheart for ten years now, and we have three kids. I am one of those girls who is hopelessly in love with the Lord, my family, my church, and people and children in general! I have worked everywhere: I have been a sales associate at an opthamologist's office, a marketing assistant at a bank, a junior high school teacher, a realtor and now I am enjoying my most important job EVER-I am a stay at home mom!

My Journey of Faith is the most exciting, yet difficult, journey I think I will ever be blessed to experience. At times it has been more heart-pounding than any rollercoaster ride I've ever been on, and at other times it has been down right tough.

The only thing that makes it all worth it for me is the CONSTANT presence of the ONE TRUE GOD, my CREATOR and KING. I am still humbled and in awe of a love that covers all my sins. It blows me away that HE never lets GO of my hand....

Our first visit to Arkansas Children's Hospital

Prayer Requests and Update #3 (See Recapping the Last 7 months entry..)

We are humbled...We are in AWE of the outpour of your love and support for us. You have been STORMING the gates of HEAVEN on ours and our beloved Lydia's behalf..How can we say thank you and feel that its adequate? It just doesn't even begin to cover it..I'm not sure that there are words big enough..We do believe that we should testify to the GOODNESS OF THE KING. We thought sharing some of GOD'S answers would be one way of showing you how you have been a blessing to us.



We all prayed and GOD ANSWERED:1. Lydia doesn't have anything fatal, progressive, or life threatening as posed as a possibility on Tuesday. (I could just stop right there and that would be enough, right? PRAISE HIM....THANK YOU JESUS.)2. They have narrowed it down to one series of tests to be done. This test was a simple blood test, not A SPINAL TAP as they had said would be likely on TUESDAY. It's only FRIDAY, GOD has moved swiftly for us...3. The EEG didn't show any signs of seizures....4. Lydia didn't make so much as a peep during these appointments and tests. She didn't even CRY when they took blood for the genetic testing...5. NOT one single appointment was behind schedule, we never waited for any serious length of time...with a baby, you know that is a BLESSING.6. Our doctors were awesome...7. HE gave us each of you and you were there at just the right moments...Calling, texting, emailing, sending us verses, you name it...


We love you all so dearly. You've meant the world to us over these last days.I hope this strengthens your faith as it has ours...We still need you to keep praying for us, as we are not clear what our future will hold. We may have up to six weeks before we get these genetic tests back. We are praying that they show no genetic/chromosome problem, we are asking God to prevent Lydia from EVER having a seizure-as that is a risk for her from now on according to the neurologist, and we are praying that Lydia's brain/head will continue growing. We are asking GOD for TOTAL HEALING. He has answered every prayer we have/you have prayed. PLEASE DON'T STOP PRAYING as we still have a long road ahead of us, but THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT.



Grateful & IN CHRIST
