Dear Sydney,
We are old friends of your Dad and Grandmother Sydney and Aunt Becky. We haven't met you yet, but we feel like we know you and certainly admire you.
We started following your amazing journey after we tied a prayer knot in your quilt at our church in Plano.
Wow! You are sure a strong girl physically and spiritually. Even though our boys are older than you, we use you as an example of how to live your life in a way pleasing to our Lord. So, thanks for being such a good teacher!
Mike and I could help you pass some of your healing time with some funny stories of your dad when he was just a little boy growing up. We promise to be nice James!
And speaking of him, we are very proud of him too along with your Mom and brothers. Families are great - and you have one of the best.
We pray for your speedy recovery and the continued comfort you gain from your Faith.
We hope to meet you in person very soon.

With love and prayers,
Mike and Lisa Veteto
and Connor and Callan

The Lord puts you on our hearts daily ... sometimes several times a day. I know you must be so ready for all of this to be over and the road seems endless.

My heart is moved toward you whenever I'm in the Psalms. Yesterday I sat with a couple of friends reading Psalm 31. Although David's enemies that tormented him were more pursuing him with sword, this cancer seems the same as the people that were a danger in his life.

In verse 9 he pleads to God, "Be merciful to me, O lord, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and my body with grief. ... my strength fails becuase of my affliction, my bones grow weak."

Yet just a few verses later (14), "But I trust in you, O Lord; I say, "You are my God." My times are in your hands; ... Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love."

(19) "How great is your goodness, which you stored up for those who fear you ... In the shelter of your presence you hide them."

Whenever I read your updates, I am moved by the way you so transparently call out the the Lord in with the struggles and by the way you, as David, always end up right smack at the feet of His throne with praise for His provision.

Lest we ever doubt that God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, He is your (my) provider in the very same way He unwaveringly provided for David -- in the trying times as well as the glorious victories. I pray that your victory is right around the corner -- that you will be home in Dallas very soon -- and that God's name will be proclaimed all over this country because of Sydney's and your faith in the One through whom you perservere. He is receiving great glory already ... I can't imagine what He is doing in all the lives that have been touched by you already.

You are amazing.

v. 21 "Praise be to the Lord, for he showed his wonderful love to me when I was in a besieged city. ... (23) Love the Lord, all his saints! The Lord preserves the faithful. (24) Be strong and take heart, all of you who hope in the Lord."

Dear Sydney,

Our church family is praying that God will heal you completely from Luekemia. The Bible says in 1 Peter 2:24 that by the stripes of Jesus we are healed.

God loves you, our church loves you, your family loves you and your friends love you and all of us want you to be healed.

God Bless You,

Rick Cooper
Executive Pastor

Dear James and Lynette,
Great news that Sydney is improving each day and that she will at least get out of the hospital soon. I know this is such a relief for you and your family. You all constantly remain in my prayers at all hours of the night. I know God will sustain you and get all of you through this horrific ordeal. I continue to admire Sydney's determination through the roughest parts, and for you and Lynette never giving up hope. We are all pulling for each of you. Our love and prayers continue. Love, Patty

Hello Thweatt Family,
I was with Betsy Philen Hardy this past weekend, and she was just keeping me up to date with what is going on with your precious family. Mom and I are sitting here reading your latest news, and we are praising God and his miracle that He contines to provide you all. Mom thanks you for the note you sent and we are praying for you. Your family is precious and it is evident that you all are ever faithful to our merciful God even in this most difficult time. We love you! Courtney Florance Lurton

Lynette,
Rejoicing with you with news of encouragement, and praying for you all on the particularly tough days, too. Love to you, Cathy

"I walked a mile with pleasure,
She chatted all the way,
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.

"I walked a mile with sorrow
And ne'er a word said she,
But oh the things I learned from her,
When sorrow walked with me."

Robert Browning Hamilton

thanks so much for the june20th update. We are so thankful she is improving. Sydney will he healed. love,Judy

Hello Thweatts! Just letting you know you are loved and still prayed for. I was just thinking of you the other day when a friend was challenging the existance of modern day miracles. Sydney is a miracle. I can point to her and say look what God is doing in the lives of the Thweatts and how He is touching others daily with their faithfulness. I am so sorry to hear that Sydney is still struggling so, but glad to hear that there is improvment. I say once again that Brian and I are here for anything that you need. We can bring food, do laundry, take the boys to a movie, whatever you need. Please call or e-mail.

Thweatts! How we miss you all here in Dallas! You are in our hearts and heavy on our minds CONSTANTLY. When you are weary - even too weary to pray, rest on OUR prayers. We trust that the Lord will uphold you and uplift you when you don't feel you can carry on another minute. You are loved! Psalm 37:3-8: "Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in Him and He will do it. And He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgement as the noonday. Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him; do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who carries out wicked schemes. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; do not fret, it only leads to evildoing." Our love to you all, Suzy, Bob, Connor, Weston, and Becca Mighell

I was reading some conversations on s.c.s. and stumbled upon some messages about Sydney. I'm so sorry she is having to go through this. Her story has touched my heart. Sydney will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Lynette, James and Sydney,
You are (and the boys) always in our prayers. I thought of you when I read this verse.
"Thinketh thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and He shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?" Matthew 26:53
You are a light to all of us.

Sydney has certainly endured more than any average person, but I remain confident she will make the complete recovery and will some day be back in Dallas yelling at those brothers in the backyard. (which I really miss that sound. I really thought I would still be next door when she got home but we have decided to avoid all the realtors knocking on the door, people walking the lot and move to Florida near Fernan's brother. I look forward to Sydney's updates on the website and will also miss Easter's updates. My cell phones will remain unchanged and for some reason if I end back in Dallas or perhaps move back, I will call you. The new neighbor (Kay's lot) has two little boys and little girl about 4 yrs old, but I think the oldest boy is 8. They built crawl spaces above the kids bedrooms that connect the rooms. Looks like it would be quite fun.
Well, Sydney, with all the faith of all the family and friends, I know you will sooner or later be on the plane back to Dallas. I anxiously await to read the news on the website. I also believe the power of preyor and of course, a little credit to the good doctors/nurses, works miracles.
We keep experiencing this again and again. Keep in touch, Karen

Hi Thweatts,
Our family was away on vacation for 2 weeks, and we prayed for your family everyday, many times a day, and couldn't wait to get back to hear how Sydney is doing. Your latest news is so encouraging, and yet, our hearts are aching that you are having to wait and wait. We feel so strongly that Sydney will be completely healed, so we will pray especially for patience and peace during the waiting. We're pulling for you!! Thanks for inspiring our family to enjoy each other more, to be better sports about everything, and to celebrate the simple things in life.

Much love, The Bushes
"Trust in Him at all times, O people, pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge." Psalm 62:8

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I only have a glimmer of an idea of what you must be going through. My (adult) older brother has mantle cell lymphoma and has had similar side effects/infections. May you continue to have strength and wisdom in this difficult time. Peace.

Dear James and Lynette,
I am a friend of a friend, and have being reading Sydney's site and praying for your family since December. My heart goes out to you for the struggles that you are experiencing, and I pray for the day when Sydney is home and well with all of you.
I also pray that you continue to be lifted up by His grace so that you are able to continue enduring with such selfless faith during this difficult time.
Thank you for sharing and for giving us the opportunity to pray with you. Watching the Lord work in your family is truly a blessing.
Sincerely,
Joan
