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.

The ultimate love note...to the whole world
Definitely the true meaning of love!
Still here praying as always!
1 Corinthians 15:55-57 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Happy Valentines Day... you're surrounded by handsome men, you lucky girl! xoxox...
Thank you for sharing this. I have never seen this. I needed a last-minute idea for all my boys and this is PERFECT!!!
I posted this too. I love it! Great minds think alike:)
Hi Tonya!
Happy Valentine's Day to you too! :)
I was so happy to see your comment this morning. I have been a long time lurker on your blog..so your face was familiar. (I know.. my bad!) I'm so sorry for your loss too. I can't imagine losing an older child that is so much more aware than my little guy was. That has got to be the most difficult thing in the world. But yes, we're out there... other NB moms. Sadly we're out there.

Tonya
Happy Valentines Day! You are loved!
Tonya,
Thank you for the birthday wish and thank you for the sweet comment about my Nannie. I think it's precious that you'd like to make her day by sending her something. She really is one special lady. She has so many stories and could definitely write a book.
Happy Valentine's Day!
Love,
Valerie
Such a cute acrostic...hope you had a sticky sweet day with your "men" - oh, and I LOVE the bottle feeding the calf photo! What is it about any type of baby that just melts your heart?!?
I like that! Thanks for sharing. And by the way... where did you get your header n your blog? It is ADORABLE!
