We are praying for your beautiful little girl! May you all find the strength in the Lord as you fight this horrific battle. Remember Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to give you hope AND a FUTURE..." Hang in there sweet Sydney - NEVER will He leave you! A friend in Christ.

we pray that you can feel us hugging you. we love you all and are praying for safety from infection and for strength for all of you. God is able. We love you.

Dear Lynette- I hope today was one of healing and rest. I hope tonight is peaceful and tomorrow brings a reason to smile and maybe even laugh. I think of all these complications like lions nipping at you and remember that God rescued Daniel from that den.
"He rescues and he saves; he performs signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth.
He has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions." We believe absolutely that He can rescue Sydney as well. much love, Dee Ann

Sydney,
I hope you feel better soon. I know how it feels to be really sick like you are now. I am seven now but when I was younger I got really sick and it was not fun. I pray for you every night hoping you will get better very soon.
From, Haynes Meyer (your aunt's old neighbor)

Lynette & James: We are praying for Sydney and for your whole family. You are awesome servants of the kingdom of God!
Psalm 5:11b-12
11 b Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. 12 For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.

James, Lynette, Sydney,

My continued prayers are with you all for your strength and courage. Your faith is so inspiring and everyone here at the office is praying for you all as well.

Hey Aunt Lynette and Sydney,
Just thinking about you... so glad to hear things are getting a little better! Praying for you constantly!
Love, Mollie

Lynette, I realized today that it has been awhile since I have checked your website. Each day that I check and read the update, my heart breaks for your family. But, I know that God must be doing something powerful through this. I always find His hand in the midst of the most difficult times. Know that I am praying for Syndney today and for your family, that you would continue to stay strong! You are a testimony to all of us.

Nearly 20 years ago when my own child Andrew, was in the hospital day after day with doctors giving the daily odds of survival at 1 in 10 to keep false optimism at bay, there was little that could comfort me when I was away from his side and set apart from long suffering family and friends. My prayers had gone from ferverent to exhausted, my spirit was most certainly crying out for me because I was tapped, my cup was emptied and my God knew it.

All the lamentation I could do had been done, I was getting what we now know to be cluster headaches that would send me to the ER at 2:30 in the morning, and exhausted was an understatement, my mental state was as shot as my physical state, but I kept sending my prayers, even though I questioned God as to why Andrew had to go through all that he had to go through to survive on this planet. How pias was I at the time to even think I was qualified to raise a child, much less better than his maker?

Over three months passed, one hundred and twelve days to be exact before my baby boy could come home for the first time. There was no fanfare, no body to cheer and clap and throw palm leaves in our path on the way home. It was much like our savior's journey home. In fact, the whole trip, all the characters, all the folley and all the glory were all the same as they had been a couple of thousand years ago when God's baby boy was born into a land where Herod had ordered the death of all baby boys 2 and under and where being born in a manger by poor parents was the best welcome that could be afforded.

How do we cope with this kind of strain as Sydney goes through the ups and downs of recovery? It is beyond human being, it is totally divine intervention that enables us to continue day after day and maintain our faith in this God we cannot see or touch. It is in these times that we depend on that gift of the spirit that dwells in us, guides us, translates for us, cries out for us, and interceedes for us when we are beaten down to nothing, forced to our knees, and left powerless yet more powerfull than any ohter time in our lives, and one second for ourselves, but all for our child. Does that sound like the description of the father you read about in Luke 15?

I took comfort many times from Romans 11:33-36 where the Word says; O the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgements and inscrutable his ways! "For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?" "Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?" For from Him and through Him, and to Him are all things. To Him be glory for ever. Amen.

Know well that Sydney and you are on God's heart. Know well from the example we have with Lazarus and his family that Gods' heart aches with yours, and know from so many proofs that God will not forsake you or leave you alone. And know from Christ's own tongue that children are very special to him as he instructed to suffer the children unto Him, a command that has the connotation of healing and comfort woven into every letter.

In Him,

Brent

Lynette,
Proverbs 3:5-6 keeps running through my mind, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding, in all ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your path straight." I pray that you will be encouraged and strengthened knowing that God is before you, leading you into His great plan for Sydney's life. You have all been such a testimony of faithfulness, even when you are doubting! I thank you for sharing so transparently your struggles as well as God's amazing works! We continue to ask the Almighty to heal Sydney and to give you and your family strength and comfort as you run the race He has set before you. I pray that today will be filled with blessings and joy and encouragement! Looking forward to meeting you all some day.
Love in Christ,
Beth Meyer

You were all on my mind as I opened my eyes this morning. We have been praying, but today, we are praying overtime. We love you all so much. Sharon Lea
Psalm 121..."He will not let your foot slip...He will not get tired and go to sleep...He is like a shade tree at your right hand."

Lynette, we pray for you to have strength, hope and faith during this struggling time with Sydney. We continue to pray for Sydney and have faith that she will be completely healed. We love you and each member of your beautiful family.

Love and prayers to Sydney and Lynette. You are constantly on my heart. Hugs.

Hi Lynette,
I thought of you when I read today's entry from "My Utmost for His Highest". It said (paraphrased) "A believer's life is in the hands of God like a bow and arrow in the hands of an archer. God is aiming at something the believer cannot see, and He stretches and strains, and every now and again the believer says - 'I cannot stand any more.' God does not heed, He goes on stretching till His purpose is in sight ... trust yourself in God's hands. You cannot see Him just now, you cannot understand what He is doing, but you know Him."

Dear faithful Lynette, it is obvious to all around you that you know Him well and love Him deeply.

Blessings and prayers,
Nell

Lynette, With Mother's day just around the corner I think of you and the mentor you are to us all. Marcee has shared the sweetest stories of your strength and courage in difficult situations that most of us could never imagine. Seeing your faith in God reminds me of the Truth of His Word and of His goodness and love no matter what the circumstances are. I am so touched to hear others speak of how much your family means to them and how your lives have influenced their own. I told a friend today, we have the privledge and responsibility to come beside your family and "lift up your arms" as they did for Moses when they were too heavey for him to lift on his own. He hears our prayers and they matter to Him. That just amazes me. Every day, Sydney is an example of God's healing touch. Your faithfulness strengthens our faith. Thank you! We love you ALL!! Susan and Steve
