š A Michigan mother’s love and faith knew no bounds when her daughter faced certain death at the Grand Canyon. š #Michigan #FaithAndReligion #KidsAndFamily
HARTLAND, MI – In July 1976, 13-year-old Janie Halliday of Hartland, Michigan, embarked on a summer vacation to the Grand Canyon with her brother Al and sister-in-law, while her mother Shirley stayed behind at their home in Michigan. Little did they know that this trip would become a life-changing experience, forever strengthening their faith in the power of prayer and divine intervention.
šø A Moment of Peril
As Janie attempted to capture the perfect photograph of the Grand Canyon’s breathtaking vistas, she ventured beyond the safety of the guardrails. In a heart-stopping instant, Janie lost her footing and began sliding down the steep rockface, hurtling towards a sheer drop of over a thousand feet.
Her terrified screams echoed through the canyon as her family watched helplessly from above.

š A Mother’s Desperate Plea
At the precise moment of Janie’s fall, over 1,500 miles away in Michigan, Shirley Halliday was suddenly overcome by an intense feeling that her daughter’s life was in grave danger.
Guided by her unwavering faith, Shirley turned to the Bible for comfort and began reading passages about divine protection and the presence of angels. With every fiber of her being, she prayed for Janie’s safety, pleading with God to intervene and save her child.
Keep in mind this was in the days before cell phones and social media, so Shirley had no way of knowing what was happening to her daughter!

However, in a moment that can only be described as miraculous, Janie found herself safely back at the top of the cliff, as if an invisible force had lifted her from harm’s way!
š The Power of Love and Faith
Upon returning home to Michigan, Janie and Shirley shared their incredible experiences, marveling at the synchronicity of Shirley’s prayers and Janie’s miraculous rescue. They knew that their faith had been a catalyst for divine intervention, and that the hand of an angel had indeed saved Janie’s life that fateful day. Janie believes an angel pushed her upward!
