Oh Mylissa I'm praying so for you right now. I visit so many websites and at times I'll "lose" two or three in a week. It breaks my heart so much! But I don't see these people face to face. You get so involved in their lives and it has to hit home so very much every time you lose one...my heart aches for you so as you deal with this heartbreaking side of the wonderful work you're doing!

I see you know Addy and Annsley since their mom said you all were going to visit in September when Addy goes back. She was in my class in Vacation Bible School this summer. I used to teach her daddy, and Aunt Sharon in Sunday school when they were children! I will pray for you. My grandmother had the same kind of cancer you did. She had surgery 2 times when she was in her sixties. Her name is listed on Erlanger Hospital's records as the longest survivor of melanoma! She lived to be 95! I was born on her birthday, so we shared a birthday. God healed her, so we had 30 shared birthdays! I will be praying for you, and enjoy your visit with Addy in Sept.

Today we celebrate one of the most amazing yet totally incomprehensible days in all of history. I wanted to share some verses that speak of this day, praying that they'll touch your heart as they have mine. Still here praying!
Isaiah 52:14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
Isaiah 53:4-6 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.

Psalms 40:1-5 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

Every once in a while I have to come back and share this passage that I've shared before in some guestbooks. I just really think it's important to know that the Holy Spirit Himself is praying for you! What a tremendous comfort!
Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Romans 5:1-5 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Mark, Mylissa, Bella, Izaiah, and Sam;

I am praying for you all. As an empty nester mom, I can really say that your decision to place a high priority on family time is super. As I look back on memories of my boys growing up, I really have detailed memories of the times we were all four together, having fun and learning, reading or getting or giving a "life lesson!"

Making memories is a big part of parents' job. We can teach some BIG lessons in a non-threatening way while we are in our private, fun time. So I am praying that you will guard and protect your private time together as a family.

Also, I am praying for your unspoken request, because,of course, God knows about it and already is planning the answer. I, too, have an unspoken request concerning one of my sons.

Every time you come to my mind, I pray for you.

I know the feeling of only so many hours in a day. I end up staying up way too late as it is, so don't worry about the updates. Besides, you've been busy updating for Brandi and the new little one!
I always read the verses that the hymns are based on every Sunday. One of the hymns was based on this psalm and I wanted to share the whole thing with you. Still here, still praying! Adding prayers for the unspoken request!
Psalms 130:1-8 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

The passage is long today (could have been worse...the psalm is 22 verses long but didn't want to overwhelm you) but oh what words of comfort! Praying so that the Lord uses them to touch your heart!
Ps 34:1-10: I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me. For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me. Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength. Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.

I am also a stranger to your family, but came across your site when visiting a friends' site (Madeline Adams at St. Jude). Your ministry there, in Memphis, has just been an inspiration to me. I have gotten lost in the journal entries and am so moved by your words of praise to the Lord and faith and encouragement to others (while at the same time you were going through such a trial). I feel like I know you now and I thank you for sharing your heart to strangers. Praise God that Bella is cancer free. She is a darling little girl and she sounds so brave and so mature! God is a miracle worker and He has truly shown Himself through your lives. You have been a blessing to me and I thank you.

Hello Bella. I'm a stranger to you and your family but wanted you to know that I did find your website during my Melanoma research. I was diagnosed with advanced stage Melanoma of unknown primary 3 months ago at the age of 33. I've been doing some research and want you to know what an inspriation your story is to me. You're a strong little girl !!! I will continue to watch your site and pray for your family. If you would like to check out who I am I have a carepage with a picture on it at www.carepages.com (care page name: Jennifer Camp). I have 2 little girls myself so I'm pretty partial.

Hello Mark, Mylissa, and family,

What a beautiful bunch you are! I came across your site through a friends site and let me tell you when I read Bella's story I felt all too familiar (at least to an extent). My husband was diagnosed at 38 with stage 4 malignant melanoma in a limp node in his neck on my 30th birthday (and they say 30 is the worse :)). He was also on intron alpha 2b (just finished Monday 1/22/07) same 4 weeks high 11 months at home. I can not imagine what it was like for little Bella. She is in my prayers and thoughts daily since reading about her. I hope that all goes well with her test results and that indeed the spot is nothing to worry about. My husband has his second PET on 2/21/07 and we receive results 2/28/07. It is comforting to know that there is someone else out there that has been through this, although I know your pain has been much greater seeing your child go through this. Prayer is powerful and we believe that GOD will see us through this. I will be spending some more time reading Bella's journal as my husband (in my mind) has just started.

With Love in Christ

Eva completed her high dose treatment and is currently undergoing the same injections for 11 months that you did. She just turned 3. You girls are extremely strong and we are so very proud of you.

I came here via Brent's site for the first time today. although I do recognize your names because of your involvement with the Nason's. Your Bella is beautiful and her precious spirit shines through her eyes. I was reading her story and stopped in my tracks when I came to her date of diagnosis. 9-11-2003. That is the day my youngest son was born. What was certainly one of my happiest days was one of your scariest. I have been following several children for months now and I have been so inspired by their stories. I have also grown to appreciate my own children even more and am so grateful for their health. I now really realize that can all change in an instant.The faith demonstrated by families going through some very tough times has strenghtened my own faith. God certainly uses these families in an amazing way. I apologize for the lengthy message here, but I just wanted to let you know I will be checking in on Bella and praying for your entire family. By the way, I have a daughter who will be 15 tomorrow and I chuckled at your comment about Bella being 15. Good luck!!!

Mark & Mylissa, I first have to apologize. I haven't checked Bella's site recently and just felt led to sit down tonight and check on her. Now I know exactly why! I believe it was the leading of the Holy Spirit to begin interceding on your behalf. I know that God gives his angels charge over us to keep us in all our ways (Psalms 91) but I also believe that he has positioned an army of believers that are to stand in the gap for one another. You certainly have done that over and over for so many families. Now it is our turn. Don't you know that God just delights in hearing us all calling out Bella's name. I believe so much in the power of agreement and I know just from reading this guestbook that there are so many of us that are agreeing that "by His stripes she is healed". I just wanted to let you know that God is placing you on complete strangers hearts (that would be me...and others I am sure) to just begin to pray with faith believing that nothing is too big for God and that he has Bella and you both in the palm of His Mighty, Mighty Hand. Just know I care.

Lam. 3:21-26 NKJV (21) This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope. {22} Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. {23} They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. {24} "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "Therefore I hope in Him!" {25} The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him. {26} It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the LORD.

Mark and Mylissa, Harold and I are praying for super results on the scans, and we are praying for the Holy
Spirit to lift your hearts away from anxiety tonight.

Love ya. FAY

Hey Horrocks!
Just wanted to say hello and thank you for sharing about Brent's services. It sounds like a beautiful tribute for a beautiful soul. I agree about Link being an amazing leader in that household. It was certainly a privledge to witness how gentle yet so strong he was for Brent. Its something that I will never forget.
I can't tell you how much I love what ya'll do. I am so impressed with HFH. I hope to come through in late March and I wan to drop by and see your precious fam! I'll let you know exactly when I will be in your neck of the woods.
I'll be praying for Miss Priss herself!Love ya'll!

I know it was difficult for you to relay to us the details of Brent's celebration of life service, but I am glad you did. I knew the Lord's hand of comfort would be there for everyone who loved Brent so much. In the little contact I had with Tonya (phone calls and emails) I was always impressed with her strength and faith. I pray the Lord will continue to strengthen her during these next difficult days.

I will be praying for Miss Bella's scans on the 22nd and have marked my organizer. BTW, I love the music on your website.

Rest easy, Mylissa and Mark. You are totally in God's hand doing His work and, difficult as it can be, your effort is never wasted.

Dear Mylissa and Mark, thanks for the wonderful update concerning Brent's services. I thank God for letting me just be a part of reading about that amazing child's last days on this earth, including his intimate conversations with our Lord.

Precious Miss "Going on 15" Bella will be in our constant prayers as her scans approach. Count on it.

May the peace of God, which passes ALL understanding, guard your minds in Christ Jesus concerning the upcoming checkup.

Love ya in the name above ALL names, Jesus Christ.

Thank you for writing that update about the time spent with Tonya, Link, Susan and others. I enjoyed reading that so much and I am so glad that I didn't miss it.

Happy Belated Birthday Wishes to Bella.

Wishing you God's continued strength for all you are trying to do to help other families. It is refreshing to see your efforts with no apology that it is for serving our Lord. I find that has a strength to inspire and cause growth, just as Tonya, Susan, and so many others are so strong in. And bless Brent's heart, he really let his light shine! Capturing that spirit is the keys to the kingdom and it is no wonder God loves the little children so much. They can teach us so much.

I will keep Bella's upcoming test in my thoughts and prayers.

Portage, IN - Saturday, January 13, 2007 4:45 PM CST

Dearest Mylissa,

OH MY............that was the MOST beautiful update I've ever read. Thanks for making me cry all over again!

No, you write so beautifully, I just got to re-live those days again, and as "sad" as things were, at the very same time, there was so much peace, so much of God's presence all around, you could not help but literally FEEL His comfort and great love being poured out. Gosh, I know we all were covered by so much PRAYER!

Mylissa, that scripture in Isa. 40, has always and will always be one of my very favorites. One day many years ago I did a word study on that verse. I was going through a very difficult time in my life.

I'll never forget when I discovered the word "renew", (but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.)meant to "EXCHANGE". It was such a major revelation and source of comfort to me. God does MORE then just give us "more" strength, or add to ours, He literally exchanges HIS strength for ours!!! (Can you imagine?) I knew then, I could make it, or face anything that would come my way.

OK, sorry for all this rambling. I said all of that to let you know, God will truly give Mark and you "HIS" strength, for the days ahead. God has placed a special "calling" on your lives. Habitat For Hope is, and will continue to be used to help strengthen, give hope, and point people directly to Jesus. I have been, and I am so grateful.

With more love then words can express,

Susan

This is the first half of Psalm 86. I know it's a bit long, but it's really special and I pray that it will give you comfort.
Ps 86:1-7: Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.

Hi Mark, Mylissa and family,

Just stopping by tonight to wish you guys the best new year ahead! What a year 2006 has been. Thanks is just not enough for all you have done for us and so many.

I found this awesome promise in the book of Amos and I am believing this will be the kind of blessings you will encounter this coming year:

Amos 9: 13 "The days are coming," declares the LORD,
"when the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman
and the planter by the one treading grapes.
New wine will drip from the mountains
and flow from all the hills.

Yes, the blessing of God is coming in such a great way, I just KNOW! Standing with you all, and so honored to be a partner in HOPE with you!

Giving so much thanks for you,

Susan

Isaiah 49:13-16a: �Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted. But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.

Lk.2:10-14 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Christmas�

Each Christmas I remember
The ones of years ago;
I see my Parents and Grandparents with their Santa glow.

Each Christmas finds me dreaming
Of days that used to be,
When we hid presents here and there,
For all our family.

Each Christmas I remember
The smell in the air,
Of roasting turkey, pies
And cookies everywhere.

Each Christmas finds me longing
For Christmas� now past,
And I am back in childhood
As long as memories last.

From our family to yours.

Merry Christmas and Happy New year!!

Mt.1:18-21: Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Picked a verse that speaks of what happened around here a couple of nights ago. I live in Seattle, and the Lord brought "the wind out of his treasuries"! We lost power for about 14 hours and the internet for a lot more. So I'm sorry I haven't been around but know that you've been in my prayers!

He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

Hi Mark, Mylissa and children,

Just wanted to stop by today to let you know how much I appreciate all you do for so many people. I love this quote and it applies to you guys so perfectly. Your lives and your work shout loudly that Jesus is alive and well, and still caring for those who are hurting and those who need a special touch from him.

You are his arms, his legs, his shoulders and so much more to so many hurting families. Thank you for being obedient to the call God placed on your lives.

Mylissa, I'm praying especially hard for you as a mother. I know your heart is in many places and you want to wear so many hats for so many people.

I'm so blessed Bella got to go and see the Nutcraker. How special. I believe the Lord will send people to bless you and your children as you give to so many others.

Thanks for giving to the Lord, as the song goes, I am a life that has been changed!

Love you guys,

Susan

It's hard coming up with different ways to say "I'm praying" when I sign guestbooks. Know that I am praying so for you! But what's more important is what this passage says. It's my very favorite passage. It says that the Holy Spirit Himself is praying for you! Oh what comfort these verses bring!
Rom.8:26-27: Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

I know the passage is long, but I just had to include all these verses. They really show what's in the Psalmist's heart. Praying that they touch your heart as well.
Psalm 116:1-5: I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

Mark and Mylissa,
Just wanted to say hello. You guys are doing a wonderful job. Keep up the good work. We were sorry to here about Christi and Ben. They had lots of support and prayer partners thanks to you guys. You are such a comfort to so many. Maybe we will see you in October. We will be there for survivor weekend and the following week for tests, etc.

Eph.3:14-21: For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen."

I was just reading this part of the WORD.

Col 3:12-17

12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

You two do what is described in these verses. You love with the mind of Christ Jesus. That is what Habitat for Hope IS. I am so happy to be a little part of your ministry. Thanks.

I really enjoyed meeting Jordan and Susan Amato last Monday in BR. We had lunch and visited for over an hour. She and Jordan are both really wonderful folks. They are sold out to the Lord!

Praying for your schedules, your whole family.

So often when words are hard to find when praying, it helps to turn to the Psalms and pray the words found there.

Jeremiah 32:36-42 (New Living Translation)
A Promise of Restoration

36"Now I want to say something more about this city. You have been saying, `It will fall to the king of Babylon through war, famine, and disease.' But this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 37I will surely bring my people back again from all the countries where I will scatter them in my fury. I will bring them back to this very city and let them live in peace and safety. 38They will be my people, and I will be their God. 39And I will give them one heart and mind to worship me forever, for their own good and for the good of all their descendants.
40"And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, promising not to stop doing good for them. I will put a desire in their hearts to worship me, and they will never leave me. 41I will rejoice in doing good to them and will faithfully and wholeheartedly replant them in this land. 42Just as I have sent all these calamities upon them, so I will do all the good I have promised them. I, the LORD, have spoken!

Hello Mark & Mylissa (and Bella, Izaiah and Sam) ....

That's such a beautiful testimony to the GOODNESS & GRACE of our Lord huh?? (As are the both of you) I'm so blessed to hear that you are peace about all you are about take on. I can't imagine how you've not felt overwhelmed many, many times already ..... I suppose it's as you said .... God gives you the grace to go where HE leads you. Well, HE is definitely leading because we can all see where you've already helped COUNTLESS families during trying times. I admire you so much for what you're doing!

I also wanted to let you know we're keeping Ms Bella COVERED in prayer! We're BELIEVING with you for some AMAZING SCANS!!!!!!! We hope to be in Memphis when you get the good news! (Maybe then I'll actually give Bella her birthday present that I keep forgetting to mail ... I'm SO SORRY, Bella)

Okay ... I'm not gonna keep rambling ... we need to pack up and get ready to head south this morning. (Yahoo!) LOL!! Tell the little ones we said hello and send our love .... we can't wait to set up a play date. (However, you might want to limit how much time you allow them to spend with our Nason boys .... they are a bit wild! LOL!!)

Hey gang~
Just wanted you to know I'm keeping you all in my prayers for the move and for Bella's scans and of course your Anniversary! Maybe you'll make it as long as Howie and me. We'll be going on 26 this fall. Hmmmm that can't be right we are only "29"! Much love to you and you know our "Angel" is watching!

Hi Bella!! It has been too long since I signed your GB. But I stop by often to see how you are doing and say a prayer for you. I have your name written down on my calender for your scan and your family's move. It looks like God has wonderful for your family in His plans!! Love in Jesus,

Ah sweet girl, I sense your angst during what could be a very stressful time. You and your family are so loved by so many who know where your/our strength comes from so we will be standing in the gap for you lifting you and your family to God. We will lay you upon His altar knowing full well that He is in control. I also know that you are the "overcomer" as described in Revelation 1 - 6. I will continue to pray for you, your family, and especially, sweet Bella during her scans.

Hi Mark, Mylissa, Bella and boys,

Just stopping by to wish you all a wonderful 4th of July! You may be doing what we will be doing, PACKING!!! Yep, a great day to get more done.

I want you to know I'm already praying for Bella's scans. Yes, we've got that covered, and I sure wish we could be sharing that celebratory dinner with you! I'm believing we will both get great reports, and since our scans are so close, we may be doing them together again next time!! Yes!

I know you guys are so busy, I'm praying for all the many things you have going on now. God will truly see you through it all.

Here is a word for you today:

"Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage." Psalm 84:5

We are so excited about this voyage you are about to take.

Blessings to you all,

Susan & Jordan

Mylissa and Mark, I am already praying about Bella's scans, the move, packing, selling the FL house and generally your family staying well, and in shape with everything that is going on.

I know that this is going to be a real physical push with the move, and a real psychological push with the scans. Just keep on remembering that all of it is on the alter before God. He will bring about HIS good pleasure for sure! He also inclines HIS ear to those who follow HIS heart!

Praying for your entire family during the move, and specially for Bella.

Love in the Lord,
Mrs. Fay <thomasx@cox-internet.com>

Hey Mylissa,

As for the underlined journal .... did you check to see if you might have accidentally deleted the part of the code that closed a link above? Like to Bella's article or the Habitat for Hope Blog??? I've done stuff like that before and racked my brain for what seemed like HOURS before I fixed the problem!

Now, I LOVE those new pics!!! Your kids are just BEAUTIFUL and your HFH event looked like SO MUCH FUN!! I wish we'd have been there.

If I forget to tell you guys later HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! If we are here in Memphis I'd love to keep the little ones for you so that you can have a night out. SERIOUSLY, take me up on it!

I don't know how I missed that Bella had scans coming up so soon but we will add her to our prayer list (on the site) ASAP!

HHHMMMM ... I know there was something else I was gonna say but I can't for the life of me remember what it was. Oh well, I LOVE YOU GUYS and can't wait to see you PLANTED here in Memphis!

Give the little ones a hug for us .....
Love you BUNCHES!
Tonya

PS .... Thanks again for lining up supper for us while we were sick. WHAT A BLESSING THAT WAS!!!!!!!

~Walk a little slower~

Walk a little slower, Daddy,
Said a little child so small.
I'm following in your footsteps
And I don't want to fall.

Sometimes your steps are very fast,
Sometimes they are hard to see;
So, walk a little slower, Daddy,
For you are leading me.

Someday when I'm all grown up,
You're what I want to be;
Then I will have a little child
Who'll want to follow me.

And I would want to lead just right,
And know that I was true;
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For I must follow you.

Hey Guys!!

I hope you are having an AMAZING weekend! I just wanted to stop by and wish Mark a VERY HAPPY Father's Day!! I have the deepest admiration for the both of you as parents, and as a young Christian couple who are already SOLD OUT to the LORD! I pray that HE leads you in all you do and pray Ephesians 3:20 for you, and for Habitat for Hope. (I'm leaving this poem for all the special daddys in our caringbridge family .... I thought it was just precious)

He is able to do IMMEASURABLY MORE than ALL we can ask or IMAGINE!!

We love you guys!! Tell the little ones we send our love & BIG HUGS!! Can't wait to see you here in Memphis!!! (I'll be happy to go and help you clean and unpack when you get here)

Love YOU,
Tonya

Hi, Bella!

When you were in Huntsville, did you see the Saturn V rocket in front of the Space and Rocket Center? Mamie and her mommy and I used to try to be the first one to spot it when we had been traveling - it is about a mile from our house.

I'm so glad that mean old cancer hasn't come back. Tell your mommy and daddy it is so good of them to keep us informed of other people who need our prayers.

That power is like the working of his mighty strength, [20] which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, HAPPY EASTER!

Hi Mark, Mylissa and children,

Just want to stop by to wish you all a "Happy Resurrection Day", and let you know I'm faithfully praying for your mom. My heart goes out to you Mylissa. My mom had cancer when I had young children like you. I'll never forget those days!

Guess what, my mom beat it! I will also be praying for a good trip to Memphis. Looking forward to the day I can give you a BIG HUG in person!! Love you all so much,

Hey Bella, Izaiah, & Sam,

Thank you all so much for sending Mason a Birthday e-greeting card. It was too cute. His party was a cold one. We were at a park close to the house and the wind was horrible. Too bad we weren't in Sunny Florida with you guys.

Mark and Mylissa, sorry that Todd missed your call Thursday night. We were at our favorite restuarant celebrating Mason's birthday. Todd left his phone at home. I am so glad that Neal was able to get Tonya to the hospital. Boy, you guys are already blessing folks all the way from Florida. We can't wait for you all to move up here. The weekend you are coming, I will be out of town. Todd will be working at Southaven's Springfest and my sister will have Mason. Todd and Mason will be sleeping there. Anyway, you all are more than welcome to stay at our house. Just let me know.

Have a wonderful week and know that God is smiling on you all. We love you guys.

Trusting Him,
Dawn, Todd, Angel Shae, & Mason

Ephesians 5:1-2

1Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children 2and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

Hey Guys!!

I wanted to stop in and THANK YOU for being "imitators of God." You are living out our instructions to be like HIM! We're so BLESSED that with what you are doing in the lives of so many. I guess I just wanted to drop you a line to tell you how VERY MUCH you mean to us! I can't put into words the way you've blessed us recently. I guess that's one of your spiritual gifts huh?? It seems as though our friendship with you has been one blessing after another. We are SOOOOOOOO EXCITED about moving into our apartment. After all the chaos we've had over the past three months, something "settled" will be a GODsend!

My Oh My what some BEAUTIFUL babes you have!!! The are just TOO CUTE! I LOVE all the pictures you've used here. They are all so photogenic. How in the world do you get THREE of them to sit still and behave long enough to get such beautiful shots??? LOL!!! It seems as if AT LEAST ONE of the three of ours will do SOMETHING to irritate the others causing a HUGE fight to break out .... then we end up with a picture with NO LESS than TWO OF THEM SULKING! HA HA HA! (I suppose that most children don't BEHAVE like ours do??) I guess that's enough rambling for tonight. Give the kids a hug and take care!! We can't wait till you get to Memphis! (Just imagine how busy we'll keep you then!!) HA HA HA!

What a cutie you have!! Thanks for visiting NIcholas' site!! Your organization sounds great...I haven't had time to read all about it but from what I have read...it sounds terrific! My husband started a singing project (in his spare time) once our son was NED and we could focus on something other than treatment. It is called Will Sing 4 A Cure and he goes to local places and sings. We then either donate to different hospitals around the country that specialize in Peds....or we buy things for the kids on the units at Duke (where our son had his treatment) I think it is so great when people that have gone through what NO parent should have to go through....can turn around and do something to help others going through the same situation!!
If you have any pamplets or info on Habitat for Hope...please email me and maybe we can get some of it and put it out at Paul's shows and help you out. Also if you have a link (logo) that I can post on Nicholas' site please email it to me!!
You can check out his site at www.PaulBlackmusic.com
Good luck and hope all is well!!!

I can really tell that you are a God-driven family. I think it is awesome that you reach out to help so many families. I am praying hard for you guys! Keep up the good work...the God work!

Well said Mylissa! Amen and amen. It is so easy to place our focus on what was or what might be rather than focusing on the moment. If we don't stay in the moment, praising God, we lose so much!! Isn't God wonderful?! Even in the heartbreak....

Deut 10:21 "He is your praise and He is your God, who has done these great and awesome things for you which your EYES have seen."

Ok, guys, I'm totally convicted, and I'm repenting also for allowing my "gaze" to drift off all the great and awesome things my eyes have seen.

Thanks for helping redirect my gaze today!

Blessings to you both.

Hi Mark and Mylissa,

Oh my, guess what I got in the mail today! Something from this AWESOME ministry called "Habitat for Hope"!! I was so blessed and impressed if I must say! He He...

I will begin journaling first thing tomorrow. I feel so honored to be a partner with you guys. God is doing such an awesome work, and it's only just beginning!

I have not looked at the web site for HFH, but will
be doing so shortly. I hope we do get to meet when
you come back to Memphis. I am so excited that Bella
is in remission. I just love that word. Take care and

Good morning Mark and Mylissa,

Wow, now I'm impressed, I just love the slide show! I must say, you have 3 of most "beautiful" children! I'm still rejocing and thanking God for Bella's clean scans. God is so good.

It was nice to finally talk to you Mark, now you know what a "true New Orleanian" sounds like! Caught you by surprise huh? I'm so blessed God used that word to confirm what He is doing in yall's life.

It's so much fun to watch God at work, "Habitat for Hope" will be used greatly for HIS glory.

Have a great day today,

Hi Mylissa,

Wow, I really enjoyed that novel! (Just kidding, but I must say you really topped Tonya..)

I personally enjoy "lots of details". First and foremost I'm in total agreement for prayer for our precious little Maddie. I'm praying and praying each day for her and her family. This whole visit looked like one great big "divine set-up" by God. I knew He would use you both in such a big way because you are such yielded vessels for HIS glory.

I can't tell you how excited we are about HFH! This is just the beginning of some GREAT DAYS ahead. I'm reminded of this scripture as I write:

Hab.2:3 -
"For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry."

I believe the time has come, it is now! I will continue to pray and partner with you. Looking forward to meeting you and your precious family~ hopefully you'll be living in TN by March when we come!

Keep running with your vision,

Susan & Jordan

PS I'm so glad you got to met 2 very dear families to us, the Nasons, and the Pierce's.

Girl,

You are a HOOT! HE HE HE! I'm up with you on that hair pulling story! Our little man is almost BALD now. He'd pulled several bald spots around his noggin so we went ahead and buzzed him when we got home. He's had SO MUCH FUN freaking his poor ole Mama out! Good he can have a sense of humor about it huh???

Seriously, We were SO BLESSED to get to hang out with you guys while you were in Memphis. I was just THRILLED to get to meet you in person. I can't wait until you are officially moved up to "our neck of the woods." We'll have to have you down for a visit and officially "hillbillyitize you." NO, that's not a word ........... LOL!!! I just thought it'd be fun to have you city folk come and hang with us a while. We'd just LOVE to get to have some hang time with you so that we can get to know each other better. Tell Mr. Mark that he has made a HUGE impression on Brent. We were so THANKFUL for the time he spent with Brent ........ you'll never know how much it lifted his spirits! I know he HAS to get tired of looking at us! HE HE HE!

Oh, and CONGRATULATIONS Bella on those GREAT SCANS!!!! We were SO HAPPY that you personally came and shared the news with us. We honestly couldn't have been happier. You are by far one the most beautiful/sweetest little ladies I know. I can't wait to meet Samuel and Izaiah. (Spell his name right?) I know they are gonna steal our hearts too!

Well, now not only am I competing for the longest journal ....... I'm also up and running for the longest guestbook entry. I guess I'll go for now. I don't sign often so I had a lot of catching up to do.

Ya'll take care and pack up quickly .......... we're ready to play again soon! (Mylissa and Bella, I'm looking forward to a girls night out .... even if it is ONLY for an hour and we only run for takeout) HA HA HA!

Love you,
Tonya

Mylissa,
I am reading a cool book called, When God Winks. It is about coincedences. I encourage you and Mark to keep a little journal of "is is odd or is it God?" moments during these fledgling days of HFH. I expect big things, and it will be cool to look back at all the doors that were opened for you along the way. The book tells you to keep your eyes open for God's winks and then act on them. Mo

Mylissa
Where do I begin? The Lord has placed such a wonderful and beautiful friendship in our lives. We are so grateful for your love and devotion to our family. Mylissa, Thank you so much for keeping everyone updated and requesting prayer on Bella's site for our sweet girl. Mark, thank you for updating ours when we couldn't or can't! Madelyn has faced so many challenges in her little life and I am hopeful that she will pull through! Mark has been such a "rock" for us over the past few days and it's been icredible to witness his love for others firsthand! Just knowing that there is a friend (not to mention that we've only known for a year and a half) that's enduring the news and the pain as we receive it, carring the burden along with us (even sleeping overnight in the hospital library!) but lifting us and Madelyn to the Lord together has given us incredible strength and courage!
I am so excited you and Bella will be here on Sunday! Oh how I wish Madelyn would be awake to see Bella. It just breaks my heart. When Mr Mark arrived the other day, the first thing she ask was "Where's Bella?" SHe was looking so forward to seeing and playing with her! I hope it won't be too much longer when we can take the girls to the zoo, ride the carosel or have a sleepover anytime we want!
Thank you so much for all that you guys do! We love you guys more than you know! Love Brandi

Hey Guys!

It's been FOREVER since I've signed .... sorry! I guess first things first, we are praying NONSTOP for Madelyn. Thank you SO MUCH for keeping us updated while Brandi and Neal are so busy tending to their sweet girl.

I also wanted to say a HUGE "THANK YOU" to Mark for all the time he's spent with Brent this week. It has REALLY lifted his spirits to have this time bonding with "Mr. Mark." I also want to thank you Mylissa for the sweet messages you've left for Brent in his guestbook. You are such a SWEETIE!

Now, we are counting down the days till we get to FINALLY meet Mrs. Mylissa and Ms. Bella in person!!! I am ALWAYS having fits to go home and see my babies, but now I'm also wanting to be here to meet ya'll. Maybe GOD will work it out so that we can do BOTH this weekend.

As for all the other things I'm behind on ......... HAPPY VERY BELATED Birthday Mylissa!! I've been checking on our caringbridge family almost daily (since things have settled back down some) but I'm only just beginning to sign guestbooks again. I'm sorry I missed you on your birthday. I hope you had a great one!!

I also wanted to thank you for asking for prayer for Brent and for all you've done for us since the relapse. You guys have been just PRECIOUS to us and we are SO BLESSED that GOD allowed our paths to cross. We are PRAYING AND BELIEVING GOD for CLEAR RESULTS for Bella next week.

Now that I've talked your ears off I guess I'll go. We REALLY LOVE AND APPRECIATE YOU!!!

Hey Guys!

I'm so excited to hear that you are homeschooling! We LOVE it! It's a challenge sometimes (especially doing two children) but the rewards are endless. We will definitely be praying that God will guide you in explaining life and death to Bella. It seems as though she has a pretty good idea already ("the tent") ......... I LOVE how children seem to absorb GOD'S WORD!

As for the other request ........ you go right ahead and ask for what you have on your hearts. I know that after everything you've been though, and seen the things you'll see in the world of cancer ........... EVERYTHING is important. (To the parents of those children anyway) Feel free to speak your mind ........ we'll pray!

I guess I'll go for now. You guys take care!

We love you,
Tonya

Hi Bella & Family,
I came across your site from another St. Jude family.
My name is Sheena & I have a 4 year old daughter, Gabrielle, who is also a patient at ST. JUDE. Gabrielle was diagnosed at the age of 2 w/ Wilm's Tumor Stage 1 FH.
She is almost 2 yrs off treatment and doing great.

I have an uncle who was diagnosed in March with malignant melanoma stage 3 and he is currently going thru the treatment that your bella went thru. He now has several spots on the lung which could very well be relapse.

Glad to see everything with your precious girl is going great.
Happy Holidays

Hey Guys!
I'm happy to hear that you had a great Thanksgiving! We did too. I had to pick at Brent's doctor (who is from up north) about eating "stuffing." I told her that she needs to come a little farther south and have some DRESSING! HA HA HA! That's one of Brent's FAVORITES!! We've had more chicken dressing and chicken dumplings this year than I think I've had my entire life! Think it's a chemo thing??? I don't think it matters around here .... he only has to mention craving something once around his grandmas and it's as good as DONE! Anyway .......... we were blessed to hear that you guys had a good one as well.

I wanted to leave a quick note to tell Bella that I think she has great taste in her music. I love the song!!! Great job, Bella! I also wanted to say what an ADORABLE picture that is of your babes. They are just BEAUTIFUL! I know, you aren't supposed to say that a boy is beautiful .... but, well, you know what I mean.

I'd better run .......... I just wanted you to know we are thinking of you and hoping you all are having a wonderful week!

Take care,
Love,

Hello to the Horrocks Family!
My name is Tonya, I'm Brent's Mom. I saw where you visited and signed Brent's guestbook. I wanted to drop in to meet you, and to say THANKS for visiting with us. I'm ESPECIALLY BLESSED to find that I've met another branch of our family in Christ! I LOVE your page and your boldness for the LORD! Your daughter, Bella is BEAUTIFUL!!! We are honored to be among those she prays for at night. ("The St. Jude kids")

I read the article from the link on your page, and am quite surprised at what I've learned. I know that NO ONE expects to hear of cancer in children (even though we know that it does happen) . . . but ESPECIALLY when it's a cancer that we assume belongs to adults. God has done AWESOME things for us, and for you too. I'll PRAISE HIM with you for the HEALING of our children, and BELIEVE HIM with you for their continued healing!!

Thanks again for stopping by, we'll check back on you often! It was WONDERFUL to meet you.

Your Sister in Christ,
Tonya

Hey guys.... Sounds like a fabulous trip. I was checking back in to read part two... I guess I was a little faster than I thought. Jill had always wanted to go to a Dude Ranch. She liked horses but did not ride very much.
Love the story about the small plane ride to Cody. very funny....Love you guys!

Hi Horrocks family!
Thanks for mentioning us on Bella's page! I am happy to hear that your end of the week here in Memphis turned out to be 'better' than otherwise expected! Wasn't the Morgan's home in the rolling hills just gorgeous!! We'll have to do that again when you guys are in! We can't wait! So glad to hear Bella is "back in the saddle"! Take care and we are lifting you guys in prayer as always!

I am a stranger to you, but have been visiting your site for a few days. I wanted to thank you for sharing the scripture in your journal message today, for it spoke to my need as well. I firmly believe there are NO coincidences in the Lord. What He gave to you to share will, no doubt, touch others lives as well. I am praying for your Bella and for your family as well. Having been where you are I fully understand the strength you all will gain by sharing your faith and receiving His love from others. Stand firm sister! There is no safer place than in His arms.

Learned of caringbridge through good frineds, Brimer family, tn/stevenelias. Saw your link and came to visit and pray for you and your beautiful child. Saw this scripture today and wanted to share it:
ROMANS 4:20,21
20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.
Your faith and praise of the Healer is awesome. Keep it up!

I pray that today you will receive the appointments and information you need to make the decisions that are necessary. I pray that you will begin to receive more uniformity of opinions. Or at least clarity for yourselves regarding which way to head. May His peace overwhelm you. I will lift up Bella for you. I think it is not surprising that she is expressing those emotions now,but I know as parents it is hard to see her struggle on another level. May the Lord be your sheild and your fortress.

I understand not even wanting a minor surgery for Bella. She told Kendal she would not have to have any more surgeries. They are so young and can't understand the whys. But I will pray that God will give you and Mark PEACE and WISDOM. God is not about confusion..So I pray where there is questions, He will give the answers...and you will KNOW what is right for her. Love you guys!

Mylissa, Mark and Bella,

Thank you for the opportunity to take care of you. I prayed this morning for God to guide my hands and my heart to be the very best that I could be for you and your family today. I hope I was able to provide some sense of comfort in what I know was a terrifying day. It is an honor (and often quite humbling) to be able to work in an environment that allows me to serve Him. Your kind words make my job even more of a blessing.

Get some much needed rest tonight. Rejoice in having your family all together!

I continue to pray for Bella's complete and perfect healing.

Much love to you all,
Terri

My prayers are a constant for good news for Bella today. Mark and Mylissa you two are amazing to me...your strength, your faith, your love, your wisdom, your endurance, your perserverance and your BELIEF are models and lessons for me. Now that we have Kierstyn, I can actually feel and perhaps even understand just a little of what you are going through with Bella. It pains me for you
to be in this situation, but I know that HE has the answer to and for everything. Mark, Mylissa and Bella...you are a lesson on faith and you inspire me in my daily perspective on what really is important while we are on this earth. Thank you for being who you are. Know that we love you and that we are praying for good results for Bella and for strength for all members of her family.

Hello gang,
Just wanted to stop in and say Hey! Getting ready for another snow storm [what fun]. We are hanging in there! Jill is taking some stronger Morphine and though it helps with the pain it makes her a bit groggy!
It is thought that some of the pain is Tumor necrosis so... it may be a good sign! We remain cautious but optomistic!Bella looks Great!
Yours in Faith and Peace!

Dear Bella,
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas time - the first without disease, without the shots against the disease. I wish you a very very healthy new year 2005!
I guess you may stay up late on New Year's eve to celebrate the beginning of next year. Do you know that we here in Europe celebrate it already 6 or 8 or 10 hours earlier than you? That's the time difference. When you are a bit older than now, you will learn about it in school.
Healthy wishes to you and your family!

Hi Bella,
congrats that you finished this hard year of interferon. You are really a tough little girl. And eating so healthy: salad etc.
I live in Germany, that's thousands of miles away from you! Can you imagine that? You would have to fly half a day in plane to be here.
Here in Germany we also have to take interferon shots against this disease. I still have to inject until next July: that's when the flowers and the summer will be there again.
So now I already know from you that after my last shot I will have a good appetite and eat so much healthy salad. Then for sure our disease won't come back! You know, diseases don't like salad!
I send you lots of love from the other side of the world!

Hello Bella. I am so excited to hear your fantastic news. I am an old friend of your parents. I was your mothers college roommate during her first year of school. Over the years she has shared the numerous blessings that you have brought into your parents lives with me. You have her strength, her courage, her energy and her enormous passion for embracing the beauty of the world around you.

Over the years, when you reflect back on this period of your life, you will realize that at such a young age, you have been graced with the opportunity to experience one of the greatest miracles of life itself. You have experienced GODS good grace and you have been filled with the love of thousands of people who have united together to celebrate your life and fill you with their strength when you needed it the most.

There is so much that you have already experienced Miss Bella Rose, but just wait for the amazing things that have yet to come.

I send you all my love and best wishes!
