oh how We love these two. They have been laughing argueing and running around in our lifes since they were babies. Such great memories. We love and pray for this family. Carrie I pray you can feel my arms around you!
Cary and Scot, we are thinking about and praying for you and Brent daily. You have many friends and relatives extending prayers and love. May God continue to grant you strength and hope and may you feel that support in every moment of every day.
i LOVE YOU ALL. See you in a few day. we need to be positive when the storm strikes and always look to God. Right now we claim a suprnatual healing to just sweap through Regina hospital and that healing will Come. Galatians 1:15 " But God has speacial plans for me and set me apart for his work even before i was Born, He called me through his grace." God Knows our paths and Brent is going to have such a testamony to spead to the nations, Cary and Scot, "I am the Lord your God, who holds your right hand, and I tell yuo, " Dont be afraid, i will help you." Isaiah 41:13. You two are such amazing Parents and Just Know that God is in everything. Lets claim Healing. Love you Both. Stay strong through every storm, God will make the waters stand still. <3 Love Tara Cameron
Scot & Caroly & Brent - I think of the lyrics of a song right now - "When you come to the place where He's all you have, then you'll find He's all you need." With heartfelt hope in Him, we will not give up praying.
Proud of you Theres not a night that goes by when you are not on my mind through every bit of trial keep fighting im proud of you
cause when we believe i see it in your eyes joy reigns through and God is on our side when pain and hurting come we are here with you you dont have to be afraid cause we believe in you
WALKING IN VICTORY ITS GONNA HAPPEN CANT YOU SEE HAVE FAITH IN GOD ABOVE HIS HEALING LOVE
dont you every give up i believe in you your gonna make it through
keep holding on im so proud of you ... This song plays over and over in my head, and the 2 verse is what i am believe right now in my heart. Love you so much, Keep holding on, were gonna make it through <3 Tara... Again
just a note to let you know that I am praying for Brents recovery and hope to give you a little strength. Know that I would give you a big hug, if you were here. Mary
We are John Priebes family - Ray and Maryann. Have been following and praying for you all since the first day when John called us. We are praying that the Lord will raise you up on his shoulders in this time of need. He is sufficient.
Dear Peterson's...this is Laura Dyck again...we do not know each other, but I want you to know that my heart is aching for you tonight as I read your blog update about Brent. My heart aches for your loss of Katie, as we lost our oldest son, Stefan~he would have turned 14 last December~, 9 1/2 years ago to a rare illness (and the many ups and downs throughout as he rallied through it, sometimes giving us hope for complete healing, and other moments that left us feeling that he was leaving us) and I understand the pain of losing a child, but my heart is aching as you are facing yet another hurdle in Brent's recovery and while we pray for healing, and we know that God is big enough to handle everything that you and Brent are going through, we still have that piece of being human, being parents who desperately love our children and just want him restored to us. We fear the worst while hoping for the best. I pray for God to touch Brent with the miracle of a complete healing and his earthly life to be completely restored. I also pray for peace and strength (that only God can provide) to envelope you and prepare you for the miracle that God has for you and Brent. As I have read this blog over the past month, I see so many miracles that He has given and I pray that you will hold onto each one of them and be encouraged. It humbles me as I see the posts that others have left for you as I remember the prayer support (and tangible acts of love!!!) that so many gave us when Stefan was hopitalized each time and then, when he died. The internet and blogs, facebook, etc. weren't there when we faced our trial, so I am blessed to see the outpouring of love that people have poured out to you all, even as I am reminded of the outpouring we, ourselves, received in our own time of need. May each word and each prayer that your friends, family, co-workers, acquaintances and even strangers have left you bring you hope and peace and help you to know that you are lifted up to our Heavenly Father who is our Great Physician and that He holds you and Brent in the palm of His hand! He loves Brent so much and knows your hearts and I just pray that you would rest in that knowledge tonight, that you would feel His presence surrounding you and give you hope and courage for the days ahead. With continued prayer and hope, Laura
Dear Scot and Carolyn ... my heart is heavy for you as you walk through this valley ... we don't know what tomorrow holds, but we know who holds tomorrow. Praying for you.
What Laura wrote above is so beautiful and the words she said are what so many of us are feeling. We are so overwhelmed with concern for you and at the same time pleading with God for a full healing miracle> We do not know the BIG picture but as you said Cary, all we can do is put our full trust and hope in Christ alone! In ceaseless prayer for you all, LOVE Angie and NOrm and girls
My name is Jan, I have been following this blog many times a day since I read the article in the newspaper. I do not know your family, but spend many moments each day praying for all of you. Brent sounds like a strong boy and he is fighting tooth and nailt o get better. Scott and Cary, I feel so blessed to hear that you have a strong faith. God is watching over you, please don't give up in beleiving. God bless you and I will continue to pray for strength, healing and peace.
Scot and Carolyn,we are praying for you and for Brent as he continues his fight.God will help you get through this as he watches over you and Brent.You are a fighter Little Man,and you have a special angel watching over you.May your constant faith in God get you through this.
I have been following the blog since I first heard about the accident. Together with my husband we just prayed for you and Brent. Keep trusting in the love and faithfulness of our wonderful God. He has not left you. He is carrying you right now. Alma Dirpaul
Thank you for allowing us into thispart of your life's journey, if only to read about Katie, Brent, and to pray, pray, PRAY! Yes, we are praying and I just want you to know how you've ministered to me. You are two very real people, I may have even met you all at some point, dealing with a painfully real situation, something I do not understand or relate to at all, yet you are placing ALL your hope, faith, and trust in a very mighty and REAL God, who will not fail you, not even now. That blesses me and builds my faith more than you will ever know. Watching you daily lean on Him shows me that God is indeed true and will sustain me in all I face.
My dear Scott & Cary --- I think of you, and Brent, many times a day -- and like so many others, am praying for a miracle. Our children are 'lent to us' for a given period of time, and we don't know for how long, because we don't see the big picture - but God does - and he does bless us with wonderful memories of their lives with us. I love you both, very much. Stay strong -- auntie Midge
Thinking of your daughter, Katie...have you ever heard the song "With Hope", by Steven Curtis Chapman, from his "Speechless" CD??!! If someone near you even has a copy to lend you??!!...the song is beautiful...we received it after we returned home from our son's funeral in 1999 and would have used it at his funeral had we heard it before hand. As I read the testimony that others have talked about you as parents, and the faith that you shared as a family, I feel that you may get some comfort from the words of this song. For your beautiful, precious, Katie..."this is not at all, how we thought that this was supposed to be, we had so many plans for you, so many dreams...but, we can cry with hope, and we can say goodbye with hope, because we know that 'good-bye' is not the end..." There is more and it is played beautifully to listen to it, but it is such a reminder that though our loss of a child is the most painful thing we'll ever face as parents, our faith in Jesus Christ and assurance of Heaven because of our faith in Him, we do not say goodbye without the Hope and anticipation of being reunited again as Christ calls each of us to our heavenly home and this gives us strength to face each day and to be able to put one foot in front of the other and go on. May you be comforted knowing that you raised Katie to love the Lord, and prayed for her to accept Him so that she would go to heaven someday...and that is where she is, in the most beautiful, safe place, away from harm and pain, and in eternity, never to be separated from Christ and all His wonder. As someone told me in my grief, that our oldest son "is already living what we can still only pray for our earthly children". We will never stop grieving our loss because we always have someone missing, but when we focus on what our son has in Christ, it gives us comfort and encouragement to go on. In your pain of loss, may you feel immense comfort in knowing that Katie is fully alive in Christ and that she is safe in the arms of our loving Savior, anticipating the day when, in God's time, you will all be reunited again. God bless you abundantly!! You are close in thought and prayer!!! Laura
We are friends of Edith and Marlin. We have been praying for you since the accident. Just the rolllercoaster ride of reading your blog brings tears to my eyes. As I was reading the last entries my encouragement to you is that Katie is fully alive in Jesus although you will immensely miss her until you are reunited in heaven. As for Brent, the words to the song "My God is bigger then any mountain" came to mind. We pray and think of you many times a day and ask for God's comforting arms to enfold us, Henry & Verna Klassen
Praise God for the memories!

ReplyDeleteI'll lend you for a little time, a child of mine, God said.
ReplyDeleteFor you to love while she lives, and mourn for when she's dead.
It may be six or seven weeks, or thirty years or three,
But will you, 'til I call her back, take good care of her for me?
She'll bring her charm to gladden you, and should her stay be brief,
You'll have her lovely memories, as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise she will stay, since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there, I want this child to learn.
I looked the world wide over in my search for teachers true,
And from the throngs who crown life's way, I have selected you.
Now will you give her all your love, nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I call around, to take her back again?
I fancy that I heard you say, "Dear Lord, Thy will be done,
For all the joy the child has wrought, all faithful risks we run.
We sheltered her with tenderness, we loved her while we may.
And for the happiness we've known, we shall forever grateful stay.
But you came around to call for her, much sooner than we'd planned.
Dear Lord, forgive our grief, and help us understand."
