To the Thweatt Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I have a 6 yr old too and am not sure I could handle everything that life has given you. You are so strong, courageous and full of faith. God Bless you all and Merry Christmas!

What an amazing update. Your family has been such a wonderful testimony of life on this earth (it is far from God's perfect plan He unveled in the garden), faithfulness, heartache ... and God's unwavering care and provision. Your last prayer - that God would receive glory is answered every single day. As I was praying this morning for you, I asked the Lord that He would reveal to you some of the many ways He HAS received glory from this trial.

Here is just one of the many times Sydney's fight has given me the opportunity to share God's amazing attention to detail and his provision. During Thanksgiving break, I had the opportunity to talk with a woman I really didn't know at all b/c of an incredible situation brought about through Toon family's trial. She and her husband had lost their 7 year old son about 10 years ago to a similar cancer as Sydney's. Beacause of the news you had received that week, I had a chance to go incredibly deep with this relative stranger -- to talk openly about God's attention to detail, His faithfulness, His promises ... the list goes on. And then to learn about her husband, who has struggled for years with his inability to really let God have what is still struggling with accepting faith in his life because of the circumstances concerning this child. Because of Sydney and your incredible testimony (especially your openness and honesty with highs/lows) I was able to share with them your struggles, which of course mirrored exactly what they experienced, and God's unwavering peace which has always sustained you.

Thank you! for letting us walk this road with you!!! God is receiving glory constantly through your perserverance and faith in Him. His mercy IS new every morning. His mercy touched this woman's life that day because of the faithful little warrior, Sydney, whose life is in His protective hands. Who knows what else he has in store for this family - one of countless lives that have been touched for His glory through you.

We love you and are always in prayer for you. Even last night in my dream (!), I was praying with a group for you.

We are praying for white blood cells to appear, for Sydney's stomach pain to dissipate, and for the fungus to abate. We pray for restful sleep and renewed strength for all of you. Each of you is an inspiration to the many who continue to pray for you!

Oh sweet Sydney - I loved the letters from your Mom and Dad. How wonderful they are... my greatest joy was seeing your picture on the Web page and that beautiful smile on your face. Oh how God rejoices over you precious angel...how He loves you...how He celebrates who you are. I pray Psalm 91 over you and your whole family Sydney. Every word in Psalm 91 is precious but especially where it says that "He has given His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways, and in their hands they shall bear you up..."

We love you Sydney... and although we would love to have you here at your home, I believe you will see a white Christmas. May you be blessed beyond all measure, may God continue to strength your body and your heart, may He give you endurance to complete the race.

Be blessed sweet girl...love, Preston and Mrs. Hoke

Lynette - your words about walking in the Spirit are such a testimony.... Not by your might but by My Spirit says the Lord. May the Lord continue to lead you and James in all things. May you rest in His arms and in His strength. May you have a beautiful and blessed Christmas. We love each of you.

Psalm 91
Numbers 6:24-26

Continue to trust in the Lord--you CAN COUNT ON HIM! I rejoice that you continue to lean on Him and praise Him as you walk through this storm---all to the GLORY OF THE LORD WHO IS SHINING THROUGH MORE THAN EVER!!! Thanks for your authenticity--it helps me know how to pray.

Dear Lynette and James,

I'm almost ashamed to tell you how much we cling to your updates. We pour over your letters and find comfort in your amazing faith. We should be encouraging you and your family but instead you are encouraging us all. God is so clearly in your words - He is truly glorified.

We continue to pray specifically from your prayer requests and appreciate being part of "Sydney's Prayer Team." Thank you for sharing your intimate trials and joys.

In His Love,
Mary Lamar

Dear Lynette, James and Sydney,
Know that we think of you often and are praying for you daily. I also want you to know how encouraging your postings have been to me; I am constantly reminded, through them, of the Lord's hand in yours and our lives. And the time that you take out of your days to write has been a blessing. Our family will continue to pray to the Sovereign, Merciful, Perfect and Holy God of the Universe for Sydney and the rest of your family.
Love, Marlyn

"The Lord is near" is the sentence from the Phillipians Bible verse that touched my heart Sunday. What a comfort to know that Jesus is in that hospital room with you-all. What love you-all are sharing! It's wonderful to have to have the internet so that you know that others are as "near" as possible! May God's love sustain you and comfort you through each minute of the day!

Hello everyone! Hello Miss Sydney!!! I am so happy to hear that you are recovering so beautifully! You are and always will be in my thoughts and prayers for a swift recovery! All of the cheerleaders also have you on their mind & in their hearts! :) Stay strong, Sydney & God Bless! All of my love, Cori Brown (Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader)

Each day we pray for Sydney and your courageous, loving exceptional family. We think about all of you so much. Know you all and precious Sydney are truly loved, missed and cherished. Susie and Gary Hutchison

My sincere prayers will continue to be with you. God moves in ways we will never understand. His spirit has been guiding and directing each of you; and will continue without ceasing.Give all of your family an extra hug from me.God Bless each of you. Margaret

I found out about Sydney via Sharon and Laurie. I check the website every day to get an update. What a brave little girl. I have a daughter who just turned 8 and I can't even imagine what you all are going through. God does give us strength. Please know that I pray for Syd all the time.
