So many prayers have been answered in these last 24 hours! I am just beyond thrilled to read all of these wonderful updates. As my husband said last night when I showed him the updates, "You can really see God's hand in all of this. It's amazing." I am keeping all of you in my prayers, but I am just tickled pink (like Brea's toes! =) Peace, Kim

"Now I will walk humbly throughout my years because of this anguish I have felt...You have restored my health and allowed me to live!...Only the living can praise you as I do today. Each generation can make known your faithfulness to the next. Think of it--the Lord has healed me! I will sing his praises!"--Isaiah 38:13-20; "Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."--Joel 2:32; "Anyone who believes in him will not be disappointed."--Isaiah 28:16; "Surely the godly are praising your name, for they will live in your presence."--Psalm 140:13; "To the faithful, you show yourself faithful; to those with integrity, you show integrity. To the pure, you show yourself pure...You rescue those who are humble...Lord, you have brought light to my life, my God, you light up my darkness...As for God, his way is perfect. All the Lord's promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection. For who is God except the Lord?"--Psalm 18:25-31; "Do not be afraid. I am with you."--Joshua 1:9; "Be glad for what God is planning for you. Be patient in trouble, and always be prayerful."--Romans 12:12; "But those who wait on the Lord will find new strength. They will fly on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint."--Isaiah 40:31; "My grace is sufficient for thee."--2 Corinthians 12:9; "Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything."--Philippians 4:6; "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."--Matthew 21:22; "May he grant your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans...May the Lord answer all your prayers."--Psalm 20:4-5; "For everything comes from him, everything exists by his power and is intended for his glory. To him be glory evermore. Amen."--Romans 11:36. I know this is a lot, but I believe God led me to share some scripture with you that may help at this time. The heavens are rejoicing, and the angels are dancing because certainly at least one soul has been saved and at least one person's faith has been fortified (most probably more, with many more to come) by your steadfast FAITH through this trial, by the PRAYERS of many, and the MIRACLES our LOVING GOD has provided for Brea and your family! I just have to sing: "Blessed be the name of the Lord, blessed be Your Glorious Name!" and "He is exalted, the King is exalted on high!" I celebrate with you and Danny and look forward to the day you take Brea and all of your family home! God Bless, Cathy

WOW!! It is so true when you say how things can change in an instant! I check for updates daily and didn't see the one from last night til today. I am so happy for your family and especially Brea today. It is my birthday today so i will always think of her on this special day God has given me and now Brea too. It is so great to think you guys will be walking out of Children's very soon and stepping through your own doorway all together at your home at last. Can you imagine how much more exciting it will be to step through the "doors" of Heaven where we will be happy and healthy with our Saviour throughout eternity?!! Praise God from whom all blessing flow indeed!!

Mary, In times like this I would be singing Chris Tomlin's song "How Great is our God" So I will send the words so That we can sing together, but in different states.
The splendor of a King, clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
All the earth rejoice
He wraps himself in Light, and darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice
Trembles at His voice
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
Age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the end
Beginning and the end
The Godhead Three in One
Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb
Name above all names
Worthy of our praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
Lyrics > C > Chris Tomlin Lyrics > How great is our god Song Lyrics

Hi, I am so glad things are going so well with Brea's new heart! Even though we have never met, your family is in our prayers every night. I was wondering if you had plans on where to stay during that 3-6 month wait in Little Rock. I have friends that live there and I am sure they would love to have visitors. I pray that things continue to go smoothly for Brea!

Praise God! I've been thinking about you guys so much through this and putting the word out for prayer. I cry tears of joy with you all. There is such a peace and knowing with the faith in our God. We know he will take care of everything, but what a joyous time when we see it! Praise God! Did I already say that?!

Thank You Jesus, Thank You! Your mercies are truly new every morning! I pray that You will keep away ANY infection from developing, that Brea will experience a supernatural speedy recovery and that she will be running and jumping and laughing as if none of this ever happened. I pray Lord that even her scarring would be minimal and that it would only serve to be a reminder of the very hand of God at work in her life! May her story be a mighty testimony to others all the days of her life! I praise You for the awesome plans you have for this child. I also ask for You to supply all of this family's financial needs Lord God according to YOUR glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Thank You for what You have done and for what You will be doing soon in this little child's life! May she be a light in dark places and offer hope that points all who know of her to YOU alone!
In Jesus' name, Amen
