  2. For He Himself has said, " I will never leave you nor forsake you." 6 So we may boldly say: "The Lord [is] my helper; I will not fear. Hebrews 13: 5b & 6.

  7. Our hearts are breaking for all of you...we are so thankful though that we have a God who cares about every single detail in our lives, and He cares about Brent so much and will hold him tomorrow in the palm of His hand during the surgery. We will be praying tomorrow as Brent goes into surgery....for Brent, for the surgeons, for Scot and Cary and everyone else who loves and cares for Brent. May God comfort and protect all of you as you 'wait' in the waiting room tomorrow.
    Love to you all,
    Ron and Cindy and Brittany

  20. I wish I could be there with you guys tomorrow. To hold you, to walk with you, to try and make this easier for you. But I think I would serve you better right now holding you in my heart, mind, and prayers. Brent, you have a gaurdian angel looking down on you and protecting you; guiding the surgeon's hands, comforting you and your parents through all this turbulance you are experiencing. But know there are so many people around the world that are holding you in prayer.
    Remember... close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and feel all these arms around the world lifting you up, hugging you, holding you in prayer.

    Hugs, Love, and Prayers

  23. Praying for you all...for strength, for courage, for patience as the surgery is taking place and while you wait for Brent to get into recovery and you can see him...and for wisdom and direction for the medical staff! May the hours pass quickly for you and you have some diversions to help you pass the time. Most of all, rest in the knowledge that so many are praying along side you and that we believe in the power of God who is at work continually in these circumstances and that He holds you all in the palm of His hand! We will be anticipating tomorrow's update...Randy and Laura Dyck, Prince Albert

  25. Brent,Scot and Cary: Our thoughts will be with you more than ever tomorrow. I will pray, I will worry, I will hope, I will stay positive, I believe Katie is looking down at you all with her smile (knowing and trying to send you signs that it will be o.k. so watch for the signs because we all know Katie was a stinker and even though she is an angel in Heaven I can still see her being a stinker up there, don't you? She will do something to let you know her and all her angel friends are with you and it will make you smile.
    I would love to see you guys and hoping after this major hurdle settles we will come for a visit.
    Praying for tomorrow to go better than anybody expected and for miracles to happen before your eyes.
