wanted to
share where God has me now..unsettling truth, yet wonderful if you can
get past life :) 2 Cor. 12:9 Amplified “My grace (my favor, loving
kindness and mercy is enough for you (sufficient) against any danger and
enables you to bear the trouble manfully): For my strength and power are
made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most
effective in your weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory
in my weaknesses and infirmities that the strength and power of Christ
(the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me.
2Cor 12:10 “So for the sake of Christ, I am well pleased and take
pleasure in infirmities, insults, hardships, persecutions, perplexities
and distresses; for when I am weak (in human strength) then I am (truly)
strong (able, powerful in divine strength)." I am asking for a life
changing, pride breaking, bondage breaking revelation of this in my
life. May God continue to reveal is grace to you....it has been so
evident and i know it will continue to be so. i love you gu

Things
are happening, in your lives and in the lives of all who hear your
story. It’s a ripple effect. Yesterday was an amazing day. Hanna’s news
was only one of the many blessings revealed to me! At the end of the
day, I felt compelled, for the first time in years, to grab my bible. I
was led to several passages. WOW! I believe. I see. I feel His presence.
I prayed hard for you, prayed like I hadn’t prayed in a long time.
Amazingly, I found myself thanking the Lord, thanking more than
asking…... Tom, I read your previous posting. When I was reading last
night, I came across a note I’d made in the margin: right actions can
only come from right belief. Continue to rely on the Lord and right
action will come from it. I pray you continue to see the blessings Ben’s
story is revealing in all of our lives. I love you!

I was
referred to your site by Jamie and Angela Summers a couple we go to
church with. Their son Jonathan is in St Jude and you have met them. I
will pray for your precious Ben and your family. I do believe God.

Hey Ben,
Just wanted to let you know that I am praying for you. You are really
having a hard week but I know that the Lord is holding you in his arms.
I am praying for your mom and dad too. It is so hard to see our little
ones suffer. I pray that you get your appetite back and that you do good
this weekend with your counts. I think Hanna is ready to go dancing
after yesterday. I remember when Hanna was in the middle of so many test
and surgerys and I remember feeling so helpless of what to do for Tammy.
I knew her days were just running together and exhaustion was setting
in. I am praying for your family, Ben's health, every ones spirit and
peace. As you already know, everything you are going through has already
been sifted through God's hands first. I will continue to pray. Pepper
(Hanna's aunt)

lChron.
28:9,10 "And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father,
and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for
the Lord searches every heart and understands every motive behind the
thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake
him, he will reject you forever. 10.Consider now, for the Lord has
chosen you... Be strong and do the work."

Hi Ben
and family, You are a cute little boy. We are friends of Jonathan
Summers and his family. I also talk to your cousin Lisa through instant
messaging. I met her several years ago playing bingo. It is a small
world. We are praying for you and know that God answers prayers.

Glad to
hear the good news about Hanna. We are praying for Ben and Hanna. I was
talking to one of my good friends today at the Charleston Police
Department, Todd Bramlee. Todd was telling his wife about the Charleston
Police Department fundraiser for Ben. Todd's wife, maiden name Carrie
Aluise, told Todd that Jennifer and her were best friends in High
School. She is going to try to contact Jennifer. God Bless You All.

2 Chron.
15:2,4,7, 2.He (Azariah) went out to meet Asa ... "Listen to me, Asa...
The Lord is with you when you are with him. If you seek him, he will be
found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you. 4. But in
their distress they turned to the Lord, the God of Israel, and sought
him, and he was found by them. 7.But as for you, be strong and do not
give up, for your work will be rewarded."

I just
said a prayer for Ben after reading your last post. I am continually
checking you update page, I feel so connected to this little warrior
even though I have never met him. If there is anything I can do please
let me know. My father is minister at Merritts Creek Chruch of Christ in
Salt Rock, West Virginia. If there is anything we can do for you, Ben or
Eli, please let us know how we can help. What can we get for Eli to play
with during isolation? What does he like to do?

I was
just surfing thru WSAZ's web site and came accross this site for Ben's
story. It is so hard to even imagine what little Ben is going thru. His
story brought tears to my eyes and pain in my heart. This young child
enduring so much pain and you wonderful parents there by his side at
every step. I know that God is there with you and your family and I hope
that one day you will be back home and live a healthy happy life with
your parents and big brother. I just wanted you to know that I have said
a prayer for you and your parents and brother. May Gob bless each of you
and give you strength for today and your future ahead of you. Please
keep faith and looks like you have a very large crowd of people praying
for you and your family. You are a very beautiful child and I hope and
pray for a fast recovery. May God bless each of you.

I just
want to say hello to Ben and his family as well. I happen to know all to
well what you guys are going through. I lost my best friend to a brain
tumor several years ago. My prayers and heart go out to you
guys(especially Ben). Please give him a big hug and kiss for me. I know
he will be alright. I can tell he is a very strong little boy.
