Yesterday (Good Friday) was a dark day for Brent and his parents.
Today (Saturday), there is more light shining through this dark suffering.
This Sunday we celebrate Easter - new life. There are significant signs today in Brent of new life. There are also significant signs in Scot and Carolyn (Cary) of renewed energy and hope. Easter is all about the new life and hope found in Jesus Christ. Scot received this quote from a friend today:
"When things look the darkest that's when God's light shines the brightest".
Keep hoping.Keep loving.Keep praying.
Thank you for your prayers.
This update is excellent news. All of the praying is working. Thanks be to God. Happy Easter, Scot, Cary and Brent. Keep on believing all.

ReplyDelete"I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises. I will Boast only in the Lord; Let all who are helpless take heart. come, let us tell of the Lord's greatness; let us exalt his name together.
ReplyDeleteI prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears. Those who look to him for help, will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces; in desperation i Prayed, and the Lord listened; he saved me from all my troubles. For an angel of the Lord is our guard; he surrounds and defends all who fear him.Taste and see that the lord is Good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him! fear the Lord, you his gosly people, for those who fear him will have all they need. even the young lions sometimes go hungry, but those who trust in the Lord will lack no good think." Psalm 34:1-10

The Lord gave his son to save us, and today is the day he rose again. Brent is in the Father's hands and heart, and will be taken care of. I pray for the family, the doctors, and the church which has given so much to everyone in this time of need, we are all touched by this situation, and cannot help but think of them in our daily routines.

What great news on this Easter Sunday!
ReplyDeleteAlmost five years ago, a member of my family was in a serious car accident. After days and weeks in the ICU, all of the ups and downs, the middle of the night emergency surgeries, the signs of hope only to be dashed by turns for the worse, I remember someone saying "God doesn't give you more than you can handle." I also remember thinking..."Okay God, ENOUGH ALREADY...i think you are really pushing it!!"
Well, sure enough, the tiny little victories turned into bigger victories, the small steps became big steps, and four months later, she made enough progress to be discharged as an outpatient. She faced months of rehab and healing but did make it through.
We were in a strange city, living in hotels and trying to find the strength to face each day. But this experience taught our family so many things: how to treasure each moment, how there are so many wonderful people working to help you...from the medical teams, to the hospital social workers and chaplains, to the SGI case workers, and of course, our family, friends and co-workers.
Scot & Cary...I hope you can continue to find the strength to face each day. Celebrate each tiny sign of hope (like finger wrinkles!) and remember that He has a plan for each of us (as hard as it is to understand at times).
Stay well. Be strong. Know that you are not alone.
Scot and Cary, what great news! I am so happy, Im just so so happy. Brent my little fighter, you keep on fighting boy, Its going to be long and its going to be tough, but you've got everyone behind you, and boy we know you can do it. Love Always, Adele & Family
ReplyDeleteHuw & Family
We are so happy to hear the news of the healing and restoration in Brent's body today. One day at a time Brent, it is so true; what a difference 24 hours can make! Scot and Car... don't give up! Keep pressing on, God loves you all so much, and He has a beautiful plan, keep looking to Him for strength. He will see you through this.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you, Love "The Michalyks"
