Going into the hospital where Jacob was treated is one of the hardest things for me to do - and I don't do it often!<BR/><BR/>What an amazing testimony of God's strength and goodness. I am so glad God held you tight during this trip! And how awesome to be able to help Habitat For Hope. <BR/><BR/>Still working on the box for Allie Grace! I am sorry I am so slow - but I am collecting quite a few things! :)<BR/><BR/>Have a great week!Faithful Froggershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02683917908031138570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7168613870048508403.post-57425630452559385322008-06-17T11:11:00.000-05:002008-06-17T11:11:00.000-05:00Hi Friend!!!Your post, encouraged and lifted me! ...Hi Friend!!!<BR/><BR/>Your post, encouraged and lifted me! I remember those milestones...oh how different they are from the ones that we record in our hearts as our prescious sweeties are growing & changing. But I bet these kind of milestones are "our" prescious sweetness to our mighty God! When we do the very thing that is so hard to imagine, and we can find our Joy and Strength in the one who made ETERNITY possible...I can imagine him saying "YAAAY, that's it"...just like we do and did for our babies. Oh I can't wait for that day when I get to hear Brandon say "I knew you could do it Mom!". It just makes my heart smile. And I know you await that day when you hear Brent say something like that or "Mom, you are just so strong!".<BR/><BR/>Sending BIG BIG hugs your way!<BR/>Love,<BR/>DawnDawn https://www.blogger.com/profile/00598394231061411599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7168613870048508403.post-81037549335928968442008-06-16T20:53:00.000-05:002008-06-16T20:53:00.000-05:00Tonya-I hope all is well with you and your family....Tonya-I hope all is well with you and your family.

While I have never experienced a loss such as you have with Brent, I do know there was no way this trip was easy. However, God was by your side and brought peace and comfort along with special visits with people very near and dear to your heart.<BR/><BR/>I know without a doubt that He planned this trip for the right time and the right place. I pray for His peace and comfort to continue to embrace you and that you are able to experience other milestones that lay ahead in the same manner in which you were able to experience this trip to St. Jude.<BR/><BR/>Blessing to you and all your family!

I'm so glad your trip went so well. God always has a way of bringing us back to a place we never thought we wanted to be again to teach us something and to help us help others. So many will be blessed by you, your story and your work for other families who are enduring what you have already been through.

As a nurse I have walked with so many through the valley of the shadow of death and there is such peace for us to know the suffering has beed turned to complete healing. There was a reason your son Brent was in your life for such a short time. God has a purpose and it is only in keeping focused on that we can carry on. My heart breaks for you and yet is envious at the same time. If I ever walk in your shoes, I hope to follow your steps of faith and love.<BR/>Blessings to you and your family during this time as you remember...<BR/><BR/>In His Graces~PamelaPamela (His maidservant)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15611570804370035595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7168613870048508403.post-52056847511552264982008-06-07T15:02:00.000-05:002008-06-07T15:02:00.000-05:00To my dear precious Tonya,When I read this awesome...To my dear precious Tonya,<BR/><BR/>When I read this awesome testimony the scripture that came to mind was;<BR/><BR/>The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy. (PS 126:3)<BR/><BR/>Once again we all get to witness God's mighty hand working on your behalf. <BR/><BR/>As I read this my heart was filled with so much JOY.<BR/><BR/>Everything that surrounded your testimony with Brent, from day one till he won his battle has brought so much glory to God!<BR/><BR/>My life was so touched, so challenged and changed because of it.<BR/><BR/>I'm just so blessed to read how the Lord arranged things so divinely on this trip. What a perfect set-up for yet another VICTORY for you and for Link.<BR/><BR/>I'm just so proud of you Tonya. I only wish I could of been there with you.

This may sound odd but I am so glad you shed tears. God rates our tears so highly His word says He keeps them in a bottle.<BR/>Grief never really is over. It is just another color in the quilt of your life. It may vary in amount and intensity but it will always be part of you. You will in time tell the story and feel a little less of the pain but do not ever let anyone tell you..'it is time to get over it' That is not God's word. Hugs in HimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
