Brea and family,
we are lifting you up in prayer daily! Our God is an awesome God. I am confident that He will do exactly what is needed for Brea. We are praying God chooses to heal her heart and if not, that He will find a heart for her SOON and if needed, the surgery and healing will go very well. Brea, you are a beautiful girl and you have people all around the world praying for you! I thought I would share my very favorite saying with you... "If God brought you to it, He will bring you through it!" Please know that you are in our prayers!
Love,
Emily (Jie Jie to AnnaClaire Chenhui, adopted from China on 12/11/06!)

Mary, IWe have four children also adopted internationally. One from Russia and three from South Korea. We learned about Brea from the Holt BB. We have been following your remarkable walk of faith while you lean upon OUR mighty Father. REMEMBER He is so good and so faithful in the midst of every storm! Don't be suprised if one day you look up and we are there to visit you at ACH. Our 15 mo. old Kaden has been in and out of ACH during the past several weeks with shunt failure. He is scheduled for surgery again next week. May God bless your family during this time!

Dear Mary, your writings/updates on Brea have been so inspiring. I cannot even imagine what you are going through, but it sounds like you are leaning on the only one who can give you the strength and comfort you need, Jesus. I want you to know that I have been praying daily for Brea and your entire family. I have also asked the RCC Prayer Team to pray daily, and have passed this on to many friends. Prayer is the best weapon we have, so the more the merrier! Thanks so much for your updates and inspiration!
May God bless you and your family.

Mary & Danny- We want you to know how much we love you and are praying for Brea. Yes, I'm your big sister Mary, and I've always been proud of how you have lived your life, but I'm especially proud now of you and Danny. You opened your hearts and your home to this precious little girl, and you dedicate your life to your children - all three of them. Mary I know you've been by Brea's bedside for over a month now, and I know how worried and exhausted you are, but we were raised to believe in God's grace and to believe in miracles. We are praying for Brea and all of you, and we will see you soon. We love all of you more than we can say in words.

You are an amazingly strong woman and I am learning so much through your faith during this storm. I believe that Jesus has the power to heal and I will continue to lift up your family and Brea in pray. I am also sorry that your 10 year old is having such a difficult time- poor little thing. Praise the Lord that your children have praying parents! Satan has met his match. We'll keep storming heaven with prayers.

Hi there,
I don't know you but have adoption in common with you and another adoptive family told me about your website. I check it every day for the updates and have added Brea to my daily prayers. Your faith in our Lord is so uplifting to me and I actually get encouragement from you every time I read your updates. I just wanted to let you know that I am praying for Brea and praying for a miracle- no surgery just healing from the greatest physician of all- Jesus Christ. May the Lord bless your family and give you that peace that passes your understanding as you go down this road. Jeremiah 29:11-12.

I am glad you have your faith to get you through this. I do not believe in the same things that you do, but I know that people draw on different things and beliefs in their time of need. I am glad that your belief in God works for you and your family. I read your updates daily and my thoughts are with Brea and your family. I look forward to reading that Brea has a new heart and is up and playing again. I am an organ donor already because I have always believed that if I should die, someone else should have the possibility of living. I hope your story also inspires more people to sign up to give the gift of life. Best wishes to you all.

Hi Mary! Good to hear that your husband and other children are there to share some quality time with you and Brea. I pray that your time together will lift all of your spirits and that God will bless your time together and make it seem like many more days than just couple! I pray that God will re-energize and strengthen all of you to spend that time apart. I will of course continue to pray for a miracle for little Brea.

Your daughter and your family will be kept in my prayers daily. Our little Anna was adopted from China too. She is 3 now. Thank God Brea has you to be there with her and to have such a loving family. With God, nothing is impossible. I will pray for Brea to be healed. If you haven't already, bless her with lots of holy water and say this miracle prayer (shortened) "Lord Jesus, heal my daughter, change her, strengthen her in body, soul, and spirit. Cover her in your precious blood and fill her with your holy spirit. Mary, my mother, and and the angles and saints, please help her!" I have known many people to be healed by saying this prayer faithfully.
Karen in Ohio.
