My husband and I, were so touched with Breann's story. We are praying for her everyday. My husband and I have two daughters from China and I do believe that all of our China families are pulled together by the lord and that fine red thread.
We are hoping that you will be back with your family soon and praying that Brea is home with you too.
God bless you and your family, May the lord be with you always.

In regards to the suggestions that you lay down your marriage to qualify for financial aid. It reminds me of the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego...they could chose to bow down to the kings idol or they would be thrown into the fiery furnace...they chose the furnace with this:
Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego replied to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to give you an answer concerning this matter. If it be {so,} our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire; and He will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But {even} if {He does} not, let it be known to you, O king, that we are not going to serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up." Daniel 3:16-18
And in the furnace they were thrown and:
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astounded and stood up in haste; he said to his high officials, "Was it not three men we cast bound into the midst of the fire?" They replied to the king, "Certainly, O king."He said, "Look! I see four men loosed andwalking about in the midst of the fire without harm, and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of God!"Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the furnace of blazing fire; he responded and said, "Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, come out, you servants of the Most High God, and come here!" Then Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego came out of the midst of the fire.The satraps, the prefects, the governors and the king's high officials gathered around {and} saw in regard to these men that the fire had no effect on the bodies of these men nor was the hair of their head singed, nor were their trousers damaged, nor had the smell of fire {even} come upon them. Nebuchadnezzar responded and said, "Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, who has sent His angel and delivered His servants who put their trust in Him, violating the king's command, and yielded up their bodies so as not to serve or worship any god except their own God." Daniel 3:24-28
As you stand firm in your faith and in the marriage, I pray the world will see that our God is a God that provides for His people and Who will be with you in this fire and will bring you out unscathed and many will see the Greatness of our God through your faithfulness and His faithfulness!
God Bless you!

Isa. 41:10 Fear thou not; fir I am with thee Mary;be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I WILL HELP THEE; yea I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness.
How wonderful is this scripture, it is for you today. Confess it, and know it is our Fathers promise to you. I hear your pain in your writings. My heart rejoices and grieves with you. This battle is hard on all of your family, but satan can never win this war. He has been defeated by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony! This testimony of yours is so powerful, he is bound to try to stop you. Those of us who have grown to love you through this web site will be in prayer for you and the children and Danny, for every heart to be strengthened; and bound together in this mission for Brea's life. I would encourage everyone to send cards of encouragement and notes of love to Brooke and Baker to help them through this. We all love you and your dear family, His mercy and Grace follow you always.

My prayers are with your children today. I know that is hard to be away from your kiddos and that they are so lonely for you. May God hold each of them in His strong arms because He has said to let the little children come to Him. Also Christ said to come unto me all who are weary and I will give you rest.

Mary, I've been reading your posts and the guestbook daily. I want to encourage you to stand on God's word! God will bless you as you stand firm, do His will, follow His word, and never, ever take the world's way out!!!! God is pro-marriage, pro-family; He invented them!!! Do not be pressured to put your commitment to your spouse and your family below your financial need. God is bigger than our broken system! It is His plan to bless His people - people who stand for Him and what is right no matter what it costs them! He is faithful, and He will provide. You do not, and I repeat DO NOT need the help that this world has to offer, especially if they are offering it contingent on you doing something that you know if not God's will (like separating or quitting work; God's word says if you don't work, you don't eat...........)! Please, please stand firm. Stand and watch the deliverance of the Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm working with your church to test the feasibility of a system to cover the cost of Brea's meds. Just have patience, and please don't waiver. I feel strongly compelled to tell you this. My skin is tingling and my heart is racing. I know that God is speaking to you now. Not that I'm anything or anyone special, but I wanted you to know that I really believe that God is waiting to open Heaven and pour out blessings in ways you can't imagine!!!!!!!!!!!! He never asks us to compromise our beliefs if those beliefs are founded in His truth. Keep the faith; don't be discouraged. May the Lord bless and keep you!!!!!! On another note, I LOVE the pics of Brea praising God; thank you for sharing! God bless, Melissa

Brea looks great! I know it will be hard to keep the germs out of the house with kids coming home from school, but God will protect Brea. I know God will provide for your financial needs, even if it means "separating" or Danny quittiing his job. Remember, trust in the Lord and not on your own understanding. What seems illogical in the human, common sense realm, is totally clear in God's realm. You know your love will see you through whatever you have to do. You have already been separated for 8 weeks, that's almost 60 days. I know that it sounds like a "totally out of the question" option to you, but God may have a different plan. I know you will do what God tells you to do, and I am praying that He will tell you to hold on, wait it out, and that help is on the way! Praying for continued healing and recovery for Brea so that you can go home! I think the picture of Brea and Danny snoozing is the cutest! Blessings, Cathy
