Our last option: A miracle

We conferred with all of our doctors and there just aren't any options left for us to try. The couple of ideas they had have been discarded because of the slim chances of survival of the procedures.

A meeting is scheduled for in the morning to set up possible hospice care when we get back home. Our parents will drive to Nashville in the morning to attend the meeting at our request. We are in a numb state of mind...or disbelief...and would like to have them present.

Somehow, tonight, we have to discuss the options with Brian. Where do you start? What do you say? The Lord will have to guide us and give us the wisdom to say the right things.

We know our days are numbered and only God knows how much time we have left, so in our remaining time on earth we will use to glorify our Lord. Our hope is that Brian's battle has touched, or will touch someone and bring them to a closer personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

We pray that we have a whole lot of days ahead of us.

May God richly bless all of you who have prayed, and will continue to pray for Brian and our family.

Doug, Carol, Sarah and Brian
 
I do not know the words to say to you, but I can say will will be praying for you all. We do serve an awesome GOD and we all have to look to him for our needs .

God is still with each of you, Doug, and don't ever forget that! My heart aches because I know partially of how you are going to grieve for Brian should God take Him home to be with Him! His Son, Jesus, is our hope and with Him we can endure and overcome all things....even the death of a loved one....for mortal death is only a temporary one when born again in Christ Jesus so we wil be with our loved ones who have gone before us someday!

I will pray for guidance for you both and Brian's grandparents to know what to say to Brian to give him the comfort and peace he needs to give all of himself to the Lord and know He is in the best care that anyone could have! Our Father in heaven loves us and He is the one Who works all things out for our good (when we love Him) and are the called for His purpose! It may be His purpose to have Brian with Him now and free from all pain and suffering! We love him so much and though I have never seen him in person, he is still a precious young man who has inspired all of us with his love for Jesus and his bravery in the diseases he has! May the comforting peace of God's transquility touch you and give you strength to say what needs said and for Brian to accept whatever may happen, for pecious is he in our Savior's eyes and loving arms! :angel:

God Bless! Betty
 
For a miracle and for Gods hand in your lives

As I prayed for a miracle the thought passed my mind that whether a miraculous healing for his whole body or the Lord calls him home both lead to the same result for Brian....no more pain, no more suffering from his present condition. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. (2Co 5:1)

For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: (2Co 5:2)

If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. (2Co 5:3)

For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. (2Co 5:4)

Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. (2Co 5:5)

Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (2Co 5:6)

(For we walk by faith, not by sight: ) (2Co 5:7)

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. (2Co 5:8 )


As Jesus hung on the cross, he commended his spirit to God. When I was near death from blood clots in my legs and both lungs I commended my spirit to God as well., I knew there was a reason Jesus did this = beyond my understanding at this time. I felt there was an example to follow and so I did likewise.

Part of this in my mind was knowing no one and nothing could take me (my spirit) out of His hands. From His hands I came into this world and if I had to leave I wanted to leave and go back to His hands. I am His...purchased with a price and to Him I commit my spirit.

Whether Brian stays here and is miraculously healed or he goes to be with the Lord and get to see the Father before us, we will rejoice for Brian. Yes, we will miss Brian if he goes to be with the Lord but we know he will be whole, happy and with an incorruptible body not subject to disease, illness and affects of age.

We love you Brian. God will bless you richly. You have an fantastic crown waiting for you...even more wonderful than many of us will see or deserve. You have touched so many lives Brian in the past few years. I am reminded of the man who plows a field and looks back. Look forward to being with the Lord. We who are left behind will soon be with you and the Lord and rejoice to see the Lord face to face in our time. Good bye pain and suffering - hello joy and happiness with the Lord, where all tears will be wiped away. God bless and keep you Brian for you have earned through faith and through example a place in heaven.

Comfort for one another....

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. (1Th 4:13)

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. (1Th 4:14)

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. (1Th 4:15)

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: (1Th 4:16)

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (1Th 4:17)

Wherefore comfort one another with these words. (1Th 4:18 )


Time no longer exists for those who are asleep and Jesus will return soon for us who are left alive until his return. We shall be separated only for a short period.

Brian will still live in our hearts until the Lord's return.
 
God does answer prayers!

IT'S SO CONFUSING SOMETIMES TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND GOD'S PURPOSE IN OUR LIVES.
I AM SPEECHLESS BUT I AM STILL PRAYING.
 
Is your email full again? I have been trying to email you.
 
Doug & Carol,

It just came to me last night that the drs have done all they can do but God has not, as yet! Now, with a miracle healing while in his mortal body....our dear Lord and Savior will get all the praise and glory, for the healing would be truly from Him, only! Still in my prayers for healing in God's will of what He wills for Brian on earth or in heaven! Amen! :angel: God Bless! Betty
