"Finally Home" (Video by Mercy Me)

Hello, Friends!

I'm STILL catching up on email and in doing so I found this video. WOW. It definitely makes you think.. especially if you don't personally have someone close to you that is or has been deployed in one of the branches of the military.

I've also just received an email from a dear friend who's son has just been deployed. This video will kind of "kick up a notch," how well we remember the need to PRAY for our service men and women.

I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did!

I stumbled upon you here, Tanya. Your blog is beautiful. I admire you for being such a sweet voice to the world. Your testimony of loss and strength in the death of your precious Brent is amazing. God bless you and your beautiful family.

I'm touched. Praying for you right now, in Indiana!; February 1, 2009 at 5:24 PM
Susan said...: Oh my, this is my FAVORITE SONG Tonya!!!

I never saw the video before, and you know I just cried my eyes out.

Oh, I remembered Jason leaving and then coming home.

But my favorite part is about when WE FINALLY MAKE IT HOME.

I love this chorus:

When i finally make it home when i finally make it home.

Then I'll gaze upon the throne of the King frozen in my steps

and all the questions that i
swore i would ask words just won't come yet so amazed at what I've seen so much more than this
old mind can hold!!

Just to think of all those we went before us, they have finally MADE IT HOME!! One day we will too.

Love you and miss you♥; February 1, 2009 at 8:03 PM

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.
