Isaiah 26:3-4 (New Living Translation)
3 You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in You, all whose thoughts are fixed on You! 4 Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.

Brent's Story...
Our son Brent suddenly started to complain with back pain in the fall of 2004. He was playing flag football with the town league and loved to roughhouse with his two younger brothers so the pain was dismissed at first. After having him tested for kidney and bladder infections and finding him clear we finally asked for an MRI of his back. A couple of weeks later (the very day of the MRI) we received a phone call from his doctor saying that a tumor was found in his pelvic area. We were asked how quickly we could get him to St. Jude Children's Hospital - we left IMMEDIATELY. Later that same week we got the diagnosis. It was one that we would NEVER, EVER forget. It was Stage IV Neuroblastoma, a cancer of the nervous system. His chances of survival when diagnosed were 1/4 - 1/3. When he relapsed we were reminded there was NO CURE. There was basically no hope of survival... none outside the HOPE we had in JESUS.
Brent fought long and hard. He was a Christian and LOVED his SAVIOR. He NEVER asked "why" or complained. He took each day as it was - a gift from GOD. Brent went HOME to be with the LORD on January 2, 2007. He was 11 years old. If I've EVER had a "hero" in this world.... it would be him.

Psalm 16:7-9
7I will bless the LORD who has counseled me; Indeed, my mind instructs me in the night. 8I have set the LORD continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will dwell securely.

Now those are boys doing what boys should do!
Almost brings a tear to my eye.
I would frame those pictures and put them in a place for all to see!
Finally have a minute to catch up on your blog! I just LOVE the pictures of the boys - they just represent what an All-American boy should look like. :)
I am so glad you are feeling better. I think we all have those dark moments as we journey through grief. Thank goodness God's light always shines through.
So glad you are blogging again - I'll have to try to check in more regularly. :)
Tonya,
I have followed Brent's CaringBridge site for a long time, and just now found your blog.
The boys' pictures are a hoot! Did you have to hose them down afterward? They are little rascals...it's such a blessing to read about their antics!
Blessings...
WOW! That's alot of mud!!!!They must have had a ball!!!!
Hey, Tonya.. it was so good to hear from you via your comment you left over the weekend!
I have really enjoyed ready thru your latest posts and catching up with you all a bit. LOVE those pictures of the boys and the mud! Of course, I guess that's easy for me to say, I didn't have to clean them up! :)
I was sorry to read you've had some times of late where you were down. While I know this must be a natural part of grieving, I so hate to hear that you have been struggling. Please know I'm praying for you and lifting you up to the Lord.
I pray you have a great week full of many blessings!
Oh my, I just would just loved to take a big hose and clean them!!!
Yes, boys WILL be boys, even when they are grown MEN...
Somethings never change, sorry!
Oh how FUN! I know those boys' had tons of fun!
I love the pictures. I just cannot fathom how you got them clean (without getting your house really dirty). :)
