Hi Mary,
It was so nice to read your messages and check up on sweet Brea and your whole family. God is so good! He has worked miracles in her life and together we praise Him! Your website is such a testimony to God's love and faithfulness in your lives. What a blessing you are to many!
Continuing to pray for your family and thank God for the encouragement you have been to myself and many others. I'm currently 15 months into my wait for my precious daughter from China and probably still a year+ from holding her in my arms. Reading your site is another reminder of God's faithfulness. Trusting Him for His perfect timing in bringing Hannah and I together.
Blessings, Catherine

Hey Mary! I have been following Brea's journey and tonight as I was driving, "your" song came on and I was moved to tears as pictures of Brea throughout this journey filled my mind. I praise the Lord for the strength He has and will continue to give you. What a blessing and an encouragement you are to so many! I will continue to lift sweet Brea...and your whole family!
God bless you!
Enjoying the Journey to Emma!

Mary:
Thanks for the inspiration this morning. I haven't checked your website for several days, and it was good to see a new posting. I will definitely listen differently the next time I hear that song on K-Love again! Your faith is such an inspiration, I really think you should publish your postings from this website. I know you changed a lot of lives with your writing, and just think how many more you could change!
I still pray for Brea every day and praise the Lord for what he has done!!!!!!
Love, Heather

My daughter asked me at church today if there were any updates on Brea, and I told her Brea was doing fine. I decided to check up on your site and am so glad that I did! Your post really hit home with me, because we have been facing difficult times lately. God spoke a reassuring and affirming word to me in church during the Agnes Dei (a beautiful song), and I was flooded with such peace that I know I woud never have were it not for my faith and the power of prayer. What a wonderful God we have, and I know that many have come to know him, or at least think about what it would be like to know him, or maybe even know him better because of your posts during this life journey. Blessings and prayers for Brea's continued recovery.

Blessings-blessings, blessings--your family has certainly recieved them. I finally read through our posts over the past six months.
What great faith you all have--and what great help you have had from God and the medical staffs.
Blessings is the word that comes to mind every time I read one of your posts, and some of your journeys along the way.
You have truly been blessed to be able to come out of all of this with such strong faith and relatively good medical outcomes.
Please keep seeing the glass half full--I noticed in your last post that you have great worry over you little ones's next appointment. Now is not the time to start worrying--Keep that positive attitude you have had in the past.

What great news! It is so wonderful that there are so many people continuing to pray for Brea! I went to a baseball game last week (two of my students...well...I guess former students now...play on the team). It was lots of fun, and one of the families asked about Brea. They wanted to let me know that they are still praying for her daily! It simply makes my heart swell with joy when people share their love and prayers with someone they don't even know! Anyway...just wanted to let you know that we are thinking about you guys and miss you bunches! Brian mentioned yesterday that it will be awesome if he gets a teaching job this year (he passed the certification test!!!) so he will be off all summer to travel...to the beach, to Disney World, to see Mary and Danny and the kids...I couldn't be more excited! (Not to mention visiting his 3 brothers, Tina & Scott, Granny...etc.) The point is...we'll finally have time to visit all the people we love AND take Patrick to see some wonderful places as well. Please give our love to Brooke, Baker, and Brea!
We love you and miss you!
Heather
