Mary- been asking people to pray every chance I get. Brea is and has been special to our family from the time before you left to get her. You are never alone and we would love to reunite our daughters one day. Give Brea a kiss from us and let her know her friend Grace (Zhang Hung Li) is praying and missing her. Grace started to piont and talk when we showed her Brea's photos of your trip to China. Will be praying for you all often each day. Now get some rest and let us know if we can help.

I read about your family on the Holt BB. I pray for Brea and your family everyday. My son spent the first five months of his life in the NICU. My arms, like yours ached to hold my child. When I prayed for him I pictured my son resting in God's hands, for when he was to fraigle to be in my arms I took comfort in knowing that he was in God's. My family will continue to lift Brea and your family up in prayer. You're right miracles and healing from our Lord come in many different ways, all according to His plan.

Your family is truly blessed and they too are in God's hands as they learn how to manage at home without you - it's amazing to know that your family is surrounded by such a wonderful safety net of Christian brothers and sisters. Enjoy every moment with your kids today and it's ok to cry when they have to leave! This is really a tough spot for all of you - but God is really good at navigating tough spots.

Mary... don't ever forget to focus on the Father! He will be your strength and your shield! We pray for Brea, you and your family and we trust in a God who is bigger than us all to do what is right. I am thankful that Brea was placed with such a loving, Christian family. This will make all the difference in the world!! I am glad that your family is with you for awhile. Gain strength for their closeness!

sorry, I meant "chariots" in the last e-mail. My fingers got ahead of me!
I know that God has a plan for you Mary and for Breann Grace and for your other children, your husband and He is our mighty healer, our comfort, our joy in the midst of trials and I will continue to put my trust in HIM to work all of this out for Brea's good and for HIS glory. I am praying that this weekend with your family together will bring much refreshing and encouragment to you all.
Many blessings, Holly in N.C.

May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble; May the name of the God of Jacob defend you; May He send you help from the sanctuary and stregthen you out of Zion; may He remember all your offerings and accept your sacrifices. May He grant you according to your heart's desire and fulfill all your purpose. We will rejoice in your salvation and in the name of our God we will set up our banners! May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. Now I know that the Lord saves His annointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the saving strength of His right hand. Some trust in chariouts and some in horses, but we will trust in the name of the Lord our God. (Psalm 20)

My friend Katherine adopted a beautiful little girl from China last year and she was so kind to share the story of Brea and asked for our prayers. My little girls and I will pray for her and for your family. Thank you for sharing the story and smile of your precious little one.

It is so good to hear that your family is together again, even if it's only for a little while. Isn't it ironic that at times like these, people try to blame or question God? When in reality he is the only one who can give us the strength, peace, and hope to endure these trying times? I wish everyone would be open to receiving his gift. Our family wants yours to know you are in our prayers and thoughts every day. We know God has a plan for your family and we are praying that a new heart is a part of it. God Bless you all and remember God is always by your side, you are never alone and neither is Brea or your family.
