Jordan,
I just read the good news. I am so glad things are stable! I'm sorry to read about the shingles. My friend Vicki just got over them last week. I thought that was a weird coincidence. By the way, happy 22nd birtday one day early. I hope it is the best one yet. Love to all of you.

Praying right now!
Psalms 17:6-7 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech. Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.

Hi Jordan,

This has been a very difficult note to write . . . I have tried to send this 4 times today and each time I'm about finished, it disappears. I am determined to continue but it has been interesting because it has been very difficult to get transmit for some reason. I had tried to find a scripture that was on my heart and then I "timed out", I have been done a couple times and hit "send" and it disappeared . . . . but I am not giving up!

You are in our thoughts and prayers constantly. Last week at church we were discussing how our faith is tested during difficult circumstances. There are many examples in the Bible showing how believers were able to "deal". I could think of no greater example though you and your family. Your testimony is impactful.

I pray for you "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Your heart must not be troubled or fearful." John 14:27

Hi - just snooping in the guest book to see if Kristin or Rick left any "clues" as to how things are going. Not a single one unless you count Grammys' girls weekend plans LOL. I am, therefore, concluding that NO NEW is GOOD news and you are both turning a medical check up into a "family" gathering and then some:)...Save travels home.

such a perfectionist I stress myself out and fall behind!

Jordan will be in my Thoughts and Prayers as you travel to

hearing test and safe travels for you both. Have a

wonderful time visiting all your friends. Can't wait to

Dear Susan and Jordan - I sure do want to jump on with all your faithful followers wishing you safe travels, easy and successful testing (especially the MRI) and wonderful news to celebrate with your St. Jude family/friends and all your world wide friends near and far.
By the way - Jarred needed/wanted new clothes for basketball season - oh what a pain. You should have seen his brothers' room - filled with everything that I brought home for him to consider - the stores loved me when I bought everything - not so thrilled with the many returns. So, Jordan sure wish Jarred would catch your flare for style and fashion COOPERATION. That stinker was only interested in the end result - not the effort!
Have a minimally stressful and very successful get away. Love,

Dear Susan,

Your devotional today really hit home with me too. It came at a much needed time. Especially "when you get to a certain point, there is not turning back, you must keep on going" More and more every day I see how God has given me what I need to keep afloat. Thanks for sharing that one.

Have a safe trip with Jordan on Monday. I will be hoping and praying for all the best with Jordan's MRI. How wonderful that you often get to see some of your favorite families, and their children.

Thank you for your continued love and support my friend. Your faith continues to inspire me to seek out God's words more and more.

With Love,

Good Morning - Just a quick hi to check on you and now to add a "great job" Kristin to the greeting. Obviously Jordan is a celebrity in her school too, so it was great that everyone was able to "enjoy" at St. Jude's benefit. Jarred wanted you to know that he goes to Chili's ALL the time so that he can help keep them in business so that they can continue to support St. Judes'. Seriously, the kids have been going to Chili's near his school for weeks and the pepper display is quite impressive - college kids can color! I hope they made and exceeded their goals.

I will start the happy dance motion that your upcoming hospital trip is more than a meet and greet reunion for Jordan and his fans - I hope it brings wonderful, comforting medical news. I am off to the dentist - so have to run...but I will be thinking of Jordan and all his dental issues - and then NOT whine and complain...No promises though:)

Hoping this message finds you and your family doing well! :) :)

All of the information you wrote about was very interesting! Anything to do with the brain is so complex! Jordan has been through so much! I truly cannot begin to imagine how very scary it would be to hear the words "brain tumor." Jordan is such a tough young man and truly one of my heroes!! :)

I hope that Jordan is doing well! I hope that his appts this week will go well and that his fasting will go well! Having to fast hard enough but then add a thirst/sodium disorder on and it must be very difficult! I will be praying that all will go well!

I am really happy to read that your little friend Elli is now in remission! That is fantastic news and I am just so happy for Elli and her family! Hoping the rest of her treatment will go as smoothly as possible!

Hoping you all have a great week!

Hi Jordan!
I'll be praying for you, buddy, that all goes well with your tests and that your body will handle the fast portions without any problems. You are one tough cookie and a real go-getter. Keep up the good fight. I'll be looking forward to your next journal update. By the way, please thank you Momma for doing such a good job on your journal. She IS the best!
Sending you Angel Hugs, Praises and Prayers. I am praying for you today and every day.

Good Morning Susan,

Always a blessing to come by Jordan's CB page .

I need to first tell you I loved the pictures of you with all your sister's in Christ : )

Mr. Jordan with his favorite doctor love this one.......so handsome.

I'm listening to Chris Tomlin singing" Unfailing Love "as I write you......(Yes same song on Jordan's CB page)

I'm reminded as I pray for Jordan and All our CB Buddies That God never changes...HIS way is Perfect

everyday...HIS love UNFAILING................. Thank you for the crash course in Endo 101......

I Will continue to pray...........specifically for this part of his healing!

I LOVE that you are asking for specific prayer....studied this last year in my woman's bible study............

a book we read along with study is by Jill Briscoe called Prayer that Works..........AWESOME!

Jill writes:I would not want to finish without praying the words written will furnish you with weapons to do battle in the name of the Lord.

Above all, I pray that you will pray! Pray as you have never prayed before, and with great effect, as you " fix

( your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.....Conceder him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart" (Heb. 12:2-3, NIV ).

Prayer is the " place " you go to fix your gaze.Then, having seen the face of God, do not grow weary and lose heart.

As Paul puts it in 2 Cor. 4: 16 - 18, NIV )

Hallelujah Amen !

Love You and Always Praying for you!

Love,

Kris

Dear Susan, I just logged on to check on Jordan and I got my socks blessed off!!! After reading your spirit moving testimony of your anointed celebration weekend with 2 of my favorite people...Beth Moore and Kay Arthur...I watched those few moments of praise on that "God tube" (or whatever it is called)and I've sat here and cried all my make up off. I immediately saw that they are already scheduling a time to come to Atlanta in 2008! Okay, I know you're thinking, I've never even met you but I want you and Tonya (and whoever else you want to bring)to plan on coming to the "Deeper Still" in Atlanta because I live right on the outskirts and you ALL could stay with me. I mean I have literally sat here for almost 2 hours reading all the notes and praising our Great Lord and King through that glorious music. I don't know if I can wait until 2008!! Anyway, I just wanted to check in on you and precious Jordan and let you know I still stand with you..trusting the Great Physician for his total healing. I'm thrilled that your trip was so fulfilling...in seeing old friends and making new ones that you know you will get to live with forever. Oh, what a day of rejoicing that will be!!! I could see my Jesus in every face in every picture you took. It is nothing short of amazing to see Him shine through these mom's lives in the face of every mother's nightmare...the loss of their son or daughter. Of course we all know, they are not lost.....they are definitely "found" with the Lord and they all will be re-united on that great and glorious day.....but that doesn't make it any easier sometimes. I'm thankful for your willingness to stick by them, pray for them and love them through this time. Sisterhood in Christ really is miraculous. Continue to stay wrapped up in all His love and anointing you received through this special time. In Christ, Piper

I sure did miss y'all, but I'd give you up again if I knew God would move like He did this weekend! He is so awesome and so faithful, and He is always there to meet us right where we are! Thank you, Jesus.

Well, I am sooo looking forward to Sunday. Missing you like crazy, but I am very blessed that I will have the pleasure of spending the weekend with Jordan! =)

Hope you relaxed, laughed as much as you cried and already made plans to treat yourself to "girl time" next year (or sooner). Can't wait to hear what the boys were up to in your absence!

Hi!
I found your website through a friend of mine's website (Bayleigh Phillips). My son who just turned 15 was diagnosed in May with Policystic Astrocytoma. His was in his spinal cord between the C3-C4. With all the many prayers that went out for him he came through it with minor problems. He went through occupational therapy and is attending school 3 days a week now. He goes back in November for another MRI and he has xrays every 3 months. (the tumor was what was holding his neck up and when it was removed they were not sure how long it would be before he couldn't hold it up himself-Thank God he doesn't have that problem yet, just a little Loridosis). Anyway I am adding you to our prayer list. God is Awesome!

I have long been remiss to say a HEARTY congratulations to Jason and the entire family. It is TRULY a family proposition when they join the military (I know all to well, Pete was in the Marine Corps and in the first Gulf War when Christian was just an infant). My heartfelt Thank You to all of your family for their sacrifices!

I LOVED the slide show! What awesome memories! I KNOW how proud you are and how exciting the weekend was for everyone. Oh how I loved seeing Jordan's smiling face, my mind's eye can see him beaming all night long. How incredibly beautiful EVERYONE looked, even the guys!

I LOVE Beth Moore and her teaching, how exciting to be able to share this experience with so many close friends! I look forward to all of the news when you return from such an uplifting retreat. How renewed our spirit will be!

I continue to pray for you all, including your special friends, their Mom's and families.

You are so wonderful and you set such a wonderful example for the other children that are following your path. My daughter just turned 10 and she has the same type of tumor as you. Your mother has signed her guestbook several times before. It helps so much to hear success stories and to see what trials you.. yourself went through with this.

Thank you so much for all the pictures capturing Jason's ceremony. I can't believe all the special moments you captured. You and Kristin looked so beautiful, proud and happy. The dance picture with Jason brought tears to my eyes. I can't forget the men...your husband, Jordan and Jason were dashing :-] I am so proud for you Susan...

Can't wait to hear more about your upcoming conference and who you are going with. I am just a little jealous.

Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend with your family.

With Love,
Susan (Forever Timmy's Mom)

Hi Amato Family - What a wonderful celebration for Jason and his hard work accomplishments! I hope you weren't so busy capturing all the important moments that you didn't begrudge yourself of some proud/happy mom tears. Everyone looked so happy, relaxed and proud - wonderful times for sure. Of course, Jordan looked so outstanding and in his comfort zone mingling, greeting and chatting with the powers to be:)... I can't be the only one to think that Jordan's smile - just makes you smile...When he is ready to leave Walmart - he should contact Kodak - he is always in the moment!! What a proud day for Kristin and the girls too....so special. Were Jason's other brothers in attendance and just hiding from the spotlight? Anyway - giant, sincere CONGRATULATIONS and continued wishes for more family celebrations - ties not necessarily required.
Safe travels and fun times are wished for you on your trip to Nashville. I am sure it will be wonderful and Rick does a great job of "daddy" duty in your absence - just don't forget to leave the detailed "to do" list.
Talk to you soon....Thanks for sharing

So I was actually trying to hear the music on your site tonight but had other sites pulled up...try listening to it when you're hearing "When you wish upon a star" in the background...finally found the other site and signed in there so I could hear this one by itself! Loved it!
The title of one of my all time favorite hymns is "I'm But a Stranger Here, Heaven is My Home." Oh how true! Know that I'm here praying!
Romans 8:17-18 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Ok, first of all I have to ask...isn't there a Caringbridge

rule that says "no teasing" your faithful followers?

i.e. "I�m getting geared up for another very exciting

event coming up the first weekend in September. I�ll save

that story for next time" THIS IS SO WRONG! keeping

us in suspense! lol

Congratulations to your son! I'm sure you all will have

a wonderful time at the dinner...can't wait to see

pictures. I have to admit when you said if you didn't

read the devoutional to go back and read it ...I did and

wow that was great...I think we all are the bird! I

hope Jordan feels better soon. I pray that it is the

meds needing adjusting. Please tell him Hi for us and

give him big hugs. You know Susan anytime you want to

come to CA you'll always have a place in the central

valley to stay! Oh I forgot I did upload photos from camp

I too loved the devotional you shared with us. I like what you wrote about God's promise to bring us through the storms stronger and wiser. Oh I hope so....

Congratulations to your Jason on his becoming 2nd Lieutenent. I love how you show me how older children still fill our lives with pride and joy!

Good luck with the endo doctor. I know you will get Jordan's meds fine-tuned. Please let us know how it goes.

In closing, I thank you my friend for always filling me with "Hope". The hope and the certainty that someday I will be reunited with my beautiful boy.

Thanking God for you!!!!

Any chance mom will need extra tissues for those tears of joy???? Enjoy sharing yet another wonderful milestone in your children lives.
Hope, too, Jordan's medicine gets tweaked just enough to perk him up. Can't keep a good Amato down - they have too much good to do;)

Thanks for that devotional, it's so timely & true...I keep lobbying for the peaceful lake/sky thing, and really we are more there than stormy right now, but that low pressure area just never seems far off....! so thank you, I know He is here, too.

Hello. I came here because you visited my Scraps of Glory blog and and left the sweetest comment. What a blessing to read about Jordan and to read your journal entry for yesterday. How beautiful--it follows the line of thinking that has been impressed on my heart in recent days. Of peace, Horatius Bonar says "Amid the tears of grief peace keeps her silent place like the rainbow upon the spray of the cataract; nor can it be driven thence so long as Jehovah's sunshine rests upon the soul." This, praise God, is one of our inheritances. I am so glad to meet you Susan and hope we will be visiting each other in the days ahead. Jordan most certainly will be added to my prayer list.

Tis a time to adopt, I guess! I have a friend who's trying to adopt 3 children in Liberia. Only problem...the orphanage is in such bad shape they're shutting it down so they're not sure what's going to happen! BUT the Lord already had relatives of a mutual friend of ours, IN THE VERY CITY! They've actually SEEN the children and there's a chance that the kids can come back with them the beginning of Sept when they return to the States! What a story, huh? So praying that the Duckworth's are being blessed on their trip and can't wait to see pics of their new daughter!

Hi Jordan and Susan. Susan, thank you so much for continuing to sign Jessica's guestbook. Your entries mean so much to me. I've been remiss in visiting Jordan here ... I'm bad about keeping up with the older CB sites where there's no subscription option. I think I'm going to set aside a specific time, a couple times a week, to visit the legacy sites. I don't want to lose touch, and I hate that so much time has passed since I've visited.

I love the new pic of Jordan with his cousin and niece. What a beautiful family you have!!! :)

It sounds like you put on quite a show when you and Charlene met. I loved looking at the picture of you and her together. Charlene just glows! Now that is an angel mom I would love to meet and talk to someday.

Thank you for always praying for our children. I can see that you are always reaching out to others. What a difference you make in the lives of so many Susan with your love and inspiring messages.

Susan~ I just LOVE your updates! The longer the better! I don't get a chance to write often but I wanted to take a quick minute and thank you for being you! My daughter just got back from a youth conference in Mississippi last week- they actually helped build 2 houses when they were there and she is a different person from being there and meeting some of the people and helping them in this way! It is incredible what these people have been and continue to go through on a daily basis! I just cannot imagine! We are so blessed and comfotable where we are! Thank God for it but I just wish we could do more- ya know?

Well- I need to get to bed- 6am comes too quickly these days! Again- thanks for sharing you heart! I love you~ Kate

Wow, Susan, I cannot begin to thank you enough. I just got home from a very long day of work with a pretty bad headache and reading your message in my guestbook just warmed my heart and gave me so much peace. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your prayers and your help. Caringbridge is such an awesome community and I'm thankful every day to be a part of it.

You said that the doctor you're looking at is at Ochsner? I had someone email me last night about someone there, wouldn't it be wild if it was the same person?

Anyway, I really appreciate your message and I have added your son's site to my list of regulars. Your faith is incredibly inspiring and I feel so grateful to have been introduced to you. Remind me to send Dorine a big hug.

Thank you again so much.

Thank you for stopping in and signing my son's website on Caringbridge. John's brain tumor was removed last year on June 16, 2006. John had a tumor called Medulloblastoma. Had it all of his life. We never knew it until he started having problems last May 2007. So far so good. Both of his follow ups with St. Jude is good. We will return in October. Hope things are going well with you guys. Maybe will we see you at the Jude. Our prayers are with you. His site is gradbergjohn on Caringbridge

Hi! Susan

The photo collage of your precious grandbaby girls is just beautiful! Did you make that? It is awesome! :)

I am soooooo glad to hear Jordan's gum surgery went perfectly and he is healing well! That is great! I hope this will be the last of major dental work for awhile! I feel for him and definitely understand his anxiety! I have never met a person who actually likes going to the dentist! :) Ok! Maybe a cleaning isnt so bad :) but serious work..........no fun at all! :) I think it's wonderful that they decided against the graph! Oh! That just sounds so painful!

I hope that you all are having a wonderful weekend! :)

You have asked if I have any names picked out yet! ummm.... no! I dont know why but I really thought I was going to have a boy! I had the boy names picked out but just havent come up with anything for a girl yet........thankfully, I will have awhile! :)

Hugs to you! :)

Good Morning my friend. How wonderful to start this morning with a picture of your precious "Grammy's Girls".

I am glad the dental procedure is behind Jordan. So glad you had great doctors to help get Jordan through it.

It has been very hot (and low humidity) here in New Jersey. It has been wonderful! I always think of you in steamy LA, wishing you could have some of the same.

Have a good week Susan. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and Jordan and say a little prayer.

Hi - What a pleasant spin you added to my not so pleasant afternoon of waiting for the air conditioning team on what might be one of the hottest days of the year. Apparently -it is tradition for us as our fixes are annual and not expensive enough to replace and yet not new enough to truly depend on....oh well - at least we have electricity so fans spread the hot humid air:)
See - wanted to help YOU see why coming to Jordan's site is such a pleasure and treat. We get updated pictures (at least of Jordan and Grammy's girls), super positive vibes, insightful messages AND good news today about Jordan. I am so glad and happy that Jordan's dentist has a wonderful way with BOTH mind and mouth (changed the expression for my self-serving purposes). Once he won Jordan over - even if it took some new high tech "toys" it is so Jordan like to cooperate and please. And, if you get Rick or your "boys" to read today's entry - maybe you will even get a new camera because ummmmmmmm no specific reason necessary. Just because you are you and you want it works don't you think???
Well, frankly thumbs up smileys are just as exciting as the favorite happy dancer news. Keep them coming - and Jordan - munch gently :) for the sake of your dentists ego if not for your benefit and mom's nerves!!!
Love,
Randy & "boys"

Congrats to Courtney! I remember when you posted about her accident! I felt so bad for her! I am thrilled that she is done with treatment and fully recovered from her accident! :) The picture of her and Jordan is great!

I am sorry to hear about little Elli! Oh! She is absolutely adorable! My heart goes out to her family! Oh! How I can relate to what they are going through although we quickly learned a bmt was not in our future........fortunately! Hoping and praying she achieves a second remission very soon and that her treatment will go as smoothly as possible!

Hi - sure hope that you are correct in that Jordan's procedure isn't a "biggy" and it doesn't cramp his food choices too much for too long.
What a difficult good news/bad news update on your friends. Cancer sure does have a way of blindsiding. We had that experience once again last week with a 17 year old daughter of forever friends. One day she was in dance camp - the next transported to CHOP in intensive care with an ALL diagnosis. Even sharing the heartbreak, 24/7 handholding and lots of positive support barely lightens their load. Amazing how much you can share sorrow - even long distance!! However, I am certainly not telling you anything you don't know/live. Yuck........
Looking forward to an upbeat update on Jordan's dental day and thinking of you all.....

While I am rejoicing for Courtney, I am also heartbroken for Ellie. Thankfully, our hearts can break yet we can still have HOPE b/c we serve the GREAT PHYSICIAN.

By the way, tried to check on your little buddy Logan and it is cyber blocked. Hope he is doing well & his new baby is growing happy and healthy.
Things are kinda summer hectic here - and that's all good I guess. Jarred is umpiring and umpiring and this week working girls basketball camp. Jason just came back safely from a vacation in Las Vegas with some college friends. Neil and I squeaked in another good weather get away which Neil finds very relaxing.

I can definitely imagine having to have a shot directly into the wound would not be any fun! That reminds me of when my husband had his head injury and they also had to give him a shot directly into the wound! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! :( :(

I am also so sorry to hear about Jordan's ingrown toe nail and the MRSA! I hope that Jordan's toe is feeling better! I have heard ingrown toe nails are pretty painful! :(

Hoping you all have a wonderful weekend and hoping Jordan is on the mend very soon!

Hugs and Best wishes! :)

Good Morning Susan,

What a wonderful way to start the day with an update from you!

So sorry about Jordan's accident. He must have been so scared. The head bleeds so much. It sounds like you remained very calm. Jordan has the best mom to rescue him.

I think starting a personal blog is a great idea. We all love everything you share with us...especially those beautiful grandaughters of yours. Looking forward to it.

Always looking for those rainbows.

Much Love, Susan (Forever Timmy's Mom)

Thank you so much for sharing our news and celebrating with us! We are beyond excited and so very thankful! I just can't wait. These last weeks will fly by - because I have so much to do! :)

I am looking forward to your blog! I know it will bless us just as this site has done. Can't wait till you join the blogging world with me!

My husband ends up using this passage in his sermons a lot. Wanted to share it today. Know that I continue to pray!!!!!!
Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

It took me a long time after Scotty's diagnosis to realize AND accept it but I did. Now I know "why me".

Thank you so much for checking up on Scotty and always praying that his treatments go well. I think with your prayers (and the premeds lol) he will be fine. I may even entertain the idea of letting daddy take him to treatment....hmmmmmm no I don't think I can yet.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Please tell Jordan we said hello.

Psalms 40:1-4a 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...

Dear precious Susan and Jordan,

I did enjoy the devotional (as ALWAYS!) and it is so true! Just give God the opportunity and even hourly things look better than they did moments before! I will have to share Lisa's "All is Well" story with you sometime....Reading this "Paul encouraged everyone around him that all would be well." was a gentle reminder to me that in the midst of all our storms, All IS Well!

Praying your busy days are not too overwhelming. I certainly know you keep your feet firmly planted in The Word, so I know you will be well also!

"The Call" sounds like an amazing gathering of strong, young prayer warriors to rally all around to love God and serve Him! Praise His name to have so many interceding! God Bless you for sharing it with us!

Praying that you have a beautiful weekend!!

Love and Blessings,

Hi there - boy - miss a day or two with your family and you miss So much. Great new picture of Jordan with a CAT -even one that most likely wasn't up to Jordan's standards of clean!!! I guess I never really appreciated how big they really are before now. We could have used some heavy machinery here in the way of industrial washing machines with the "loads" Jarred lovingly shared with me while he went to a Broadway show!!! And while I might be mildly complaining - it is really my pleasure - especially when his clothes are all pressed to my standards - not his lack there of!!!
Lucky you to have had a sleepover with Kayla. She is just so precious and it must have been wonderful for her too - now that she is officially a make-up diva - of course she is grown up enough to have overnights. Poor Kristen - she does realize this is only the beginning of so many worry firsts - doesn't she??? However, knowing Kayla was in the most loving and experienced hands & heart(after all you practiced with all five of your guys first)! I'll bet her Uncles & Grandpop tried to share some of the "girl bonding" time as she must be everyones little Princess!
Hope all the doctors appointments point toward progress and good news for Jordan.
So glad that you had an opportunity to enjoy a family gathering - large that it is - without ALL the work!
Talk to you soon.

Susan - hello! I am one of Kristin Smith's friends and have signed Jordan's guestbook from time to time. I always uplift Jordan and your family in my prayers and enjoy checking his site to see how you all are doing. I just have to share a cute story with you today.

My little girl, Taylor, is 2 and came to check up on me yesterday while I was on the computer. She loves looking at pictures on the computer and watched as I scrolled down Jordan's page to the picture of your precious Kayla. She immediately said "Taylor!". I asked if she thought that was a picture of her and she said "Yes, Taylor!". My girl is also a brown eyed, brown haired cutie and evidently she thought it was her......well I tried to explain that it was a little girl named Kayla that lived far away from us, but I just don't think she believed me! :) Too precious.....I just had to share with you.

Take care and continue to FROG!

Jordan,

Mason would be so jealous of you if he saw you with that bulldozer. He LOVES construction equipment and can tell you what each one is. His birthday cake had construction things on it and he loved it. When we go visit a family at St. Jude, he will always ask if the cranes are working today. If he could get to one, I believe he would climb it in a heart beat.

I found your CB site address from ^Brayden Breaux^ site. I am a friend of the Breaux family and also a cancer survivor. I hate to see anyone feeling bad or having to fight this monster of a disease called Cancer. I pray daily for anyone and all who have or had cancer, that one day soon someone can and will find a cure for it. It is a crying shame to hear of anyone having this monster of a disease. Glad to hear that Jordan is feeling better, also CONGRATS on the first sleepover with your granddaughter. I have three grandchildren and they sleep with me every night, I wouldn't have it any other way. They are such a joy to have. Sending lots of Love, Hugs, Kisses, and Prayers your way from the Cavalier Family from Larose, Louisiana.

Kristin is adorable and a wonderful mother! I know that I had a hard time when Logan spent his first night away from home too! :) :)

Dear Susan,

This is going to be a long one. Where do I begin. What you wrote about "love" being at the heart of what it is to be more Christ-like is such an encouragement. It's something that I see every day coming from your writings and from all the people who love you. Love abounds on Jordan's Caringbridge website.

How wonderful that you got to meet Bruni. You both look so happy in the picture. I am thrilled to hear that her son Gilbert is doing so well. I am glad you had a wonderful day together.

What a little sweetheart that Kayla. Oh the innocence of a child and so perfectly caught in that picture.

Happy to hear that the implant area is finally healing for Jordan. Can't wait for you to get all this dental stuff behind you.

Thank you for asking for prayers for us angel mom's. We could never get enough of them.

Sending you lots of love tonight my friend.

Susan (Forever Timmy's Mom)

Dear Susan~

The picture Kayla is priceless! Oh! My gosh! How CUTE! :) That just cracked me up! :) :) :) What a cutie!

I also just love the picture of Jordan and Karli! How precious! That is a really sweet picture! :)

I am so happy to read that the area around Jordan's implant looks good! Oh! That is just fantastic! :) :)

Bruni and Gilbert sound like two very special people! I am so glad to read that Gilbert is doing so well! That is wonderful.......and how exciting that you were able to meet Bruni!~ :) :)

Hugs! :) :)

Dear Susan - What a great update. In character I was starting to getting a little concerned/worried - especially about no news on Jordan's dental status. I would have just hated to see all that discomfort in the name of progress for naught - not to mention the food "sacrifices" attempted to avoid the chewy favorites. Anyway, glad Jordan finally got a good news report. Now you might want to consider some serious indulging on Jordan's spicy favorites as apparently he will be back on food restrictions with this new high tech procedure approaching. Yuck - another struggle all in the name of what is best!!!
Please tell Jordan (for his fans) how very important his dental work is to his overall stylish image. That beautiful smile - especially when he has a little niece in his arms just lights up the page/room. Another great moment captured of Uncle Jordan being incredible/loving Uncle Jordan.
So glad you got to meet and enjoy a visit with your friend. Wow - you and Bruni bridged the cyber gap with lots of hugs I'll bet. How terrific for your families to meet with both of your "boys" doing so well. What a long ride from Florida - but I'm sure Bruni and her family just plunged on with you and your family being the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow...or drive!!
Now, that Kayla of yours gives new meaning to "Pretty in Pink". That photo is priceless - and so glad that the car wasn't damaged or maybe priceless would have been the wrong word to use. In any case, thanks for sharing so much good news and special family times/memories.
Love,
Randy & "boys"

Hey Susan and Jordan,

Kristin called me at work this morning and told me to check out Jordan's website. This is the first time I visited his site, it was very uplifting and touching. Jordan has come such a long way. It makes me so happy to know that we have a God that is so wonderful, faithful, loving and is always there for his children.

I really enjoyed the pictures of our girls. We have been moving so I really miss them.

Have a good day and weekend!

Oh man! I needed that laugh. That picture is just priceless. Yes, you are always right on time to "capture the moments." Thanks, I was too busy "capturing a rag" to clean my seats. =)

I couldn't get over how big Karli looks with Jordan feeding her. Time is passing way too quickly. That pic does remind me, though, how much of a help Jordan is to me with the girls. Thank you so much, Jordan. When you spend the night, you always help so much in the morning with Kayla and Karli, and they sure do miss you when you are gone. (So do I!)

I enjoyed our visit so much, and meeting Bruni was such an honor. She is such a riot, and I am glad I was there for the big visit.

Love you guys!

Hi Jordan & Susan

Looked like you all had a wonderful Father's Day. What would we do without our wonderful husbands! I know you probably have many suggestions but I wanted you to know that one of Scotty's predmeds is Zantac....a lot of people question this because it is a drug for Acid Reflux but Scotty's Doctor said with all the other meds he gets that may upset his stomach Zantac will help coat it and hopefully stop any stomach pains...which I have to say we haven't had any. Just an FYI. That is so great that Jordan joined the Choir!

Jordan is soooooooo GQ! LOL I hope Joel's appointment goes well.

I'm excited for Jordan as he's joining the choir. He's such a doll, Susan! So VERY PRECIOUS!! I'm missing you guys like crazy... all of these sweet stories of Jordan aren't helping any. :)

Okay... I'm not gonna keep you. I just didn't want to let another day pass without signing in. Please tell everyone we said hello and send our love? Oh, we've got our trip to the coast behind us... now i"m ready to plan a trip to see YOU!

Good Morning - If it's Friday does that mean a trip to the dentist for Jordan??? Pressure is on - we are all waiting for those happy dancers when Jordan gets permission to eat all of his favorites.....Hope at least Joel's trip to the dentist resulted in the norm - new toothbrush, floss more requests from the dentist, another bill and come back in six months!!

Seriously Jordan, hope your stomach issues have settled down and that you have a wonderful weekend planned, enjoying semi-soft foods, riding your golf cart, going fishing or anything else that brings out your big smile - and, of course, looking your best in your smashing/stylish wardrobe:)!!!

Hi - Well I could say I am speechless to have been given honorable mention on Jordan's site - but speechless me - actually I will go with honored and then proceed to babble on and on.

What a huge wonderful family gathering. It can't be easy just getting your five sons and their families together - let alone the added bunch. Guess having Rick as master chef makes cooking for so many less stressful. I hope the menu was Jordan friendly and not too much of a tease or temptation. Obviously your new home is big enough not only for all the love you give but for many family members and guests. What an added bonus to have your b'day boy, Jason, - your eldest as a Father's Day ongoing gift to Rick. My brother - was born on Mother's Day. I always teased they practiced on me and then gave birth to the Prince - who is now old enough to be a King:)

Hope Jordan is feeling better - but through it all he never seems to lose the smile or his own personal dress code standards. How fitting that by joining the church choir he is able to "up" his everyday fancy dress standards to formal!!!

Well, maybe his employers at Walmart should consider consulting with Jordan before committing to the fall wardrobe merchandise - he certainly ALWAYS dresses for success and how wonderful that the expression "The wardrobe makes the man" so applies to Jordan. He is quite a guy!
Talk to you soon.

JORDAN - JORDAN - JORDAN - What are "old people to do with young people with the munchies?" Yikes - you need that million dollar smile (without costing mom & dad that many $$)to go with your million dollar wardrobe! I am afraid that there JUST doesn't seem to be a quick - easy solution to satisfying your food cravings while doing what is best for your healing. Now - not that ANYONE invited me to come on your guest book and lecture you - but I along with everyone else want you to feel better - heal quicker and then be able to celebrate the with chewy food of your choice SOON. Now, think about this advice - "bite the bullet" (doesn't get harder than that) and REALLY REALLY try to stick to soft and muchy foods this week, dazzle the dentists/mom/dad/cyber fans, get all of us off your case and MOST OF ALL - don't jinx the FIX. You sure don't want do-overs. Nag - nag - nag - pretty good at it don't you think?? My boys do! I have a reputation amongst their friends about being the mom that likes to be extreme - I pick on everyone the most (with love and good intentions of course) and then reward them the best! Would you believe (honest it is true) I had this little memo pad made which said Love & Reminders from your memory/conscience that I used daily for (and I've been told annoying) messages in their lunch box. Hey - they were welcome to prepare their own lunch if they wanted to avoid my rant-but lazy won and I got to give them my 2 cents even during school.
Well Jordan, after all my babbling you might need to ponder my advice with a long, relaxing ride away from nagging in your golf cart. Everyone gets rewarded with a break when they have to put up with me too much!!
Enjoy a great family weekend to help Dad celebrate Father's Day and take some of my well intentioned advice to spare youself another lecture:)

I have missed so much hearing from you! Thank you for the great update. So much has happened to all of us during the past year. Please let Jordan know how much I miss him. I had a new student this year, Johnny. He is blind and hearing impaired. Wouldn't you know it -- we became fast friends immediately. He and I talked of Jordan often. Maybe we three can get together one day for lunch.

Dear Mrs. Susan,

Great update as always.

I once heard mercy and grace defined in this way-
"Grace is God giving us something we DO NOT deserve, and mercy is God keeping us from something we DO deserve." Thank God for his grace and mercy. Thankfully, His mercy is new every morning, too!

Well, Jordan, I hope you sing your precious heart out at Choir practice. I know in no time, you will be loved by all in the choir.

Love, Kristin

P.S. Looking forward to Father's Day!

Snuck up on the site and I think I can post first try!

The Lord's Will isn't always what we will, but He ALWAYS knows what's best! Blessed be the Name of the Lord! Keep your eyes on Him! Praying right now!
2 Corinthians 12:7-10 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

Susan~ I cannot tell you how many times I have prayed the same prayer at 6am when my husband is still sleeping and I (stupidly)decided (over and over again) that I will just roll over and put my contacs in while still in bed IN THE DARK!!! Needless to say that no matter how many times I've done it- I still pray and GOD STILL ANSWERS! Amen!!! I get cocky thinking that I have more in the bathroom closet and then He knocks me back done where I should be and finds the contac! However- the bedroom floor or the bed itself cannot compare to the theater floor!!!!! EEEEWWWWWW!!! Well- I hope you have a great Sunday and we'll pray for Jordan's tests to go better this week! Take care~ Kate

Susan,

I LOVED the devotional. I have always loved stories of Paul. They always seem to encourage me. And the scripture about our trials be light and for a moment, blesses me over and over. I heard that scripture about 6 months after Shae passed away and it encouraged me to keep going. Thanks for sharing the devotion and your sermon.

The hearing aid story was funny. I am so glad that God answered Rick's prayer & it was found. Just another reminder that God does listen to us and knows our needs. God is Good, ALL the time.

I pray you all have a wonderful weekend. It's cloudy here today, so I am sure the rain is on it's way. Fine with me though, that just means we don't have to water our yard as much.

Hug Jordan for us. Oh, I am going to do my best to update sometime this weekend. Wish me luck, I have tons of cleaning to do along with getting things ready to pack for our vacation.

Your journal entry is beautifully written as always! Your words always warm my heart!

On a different note! I am so sorry to hear Jordan is now back on a soft food diet! Oh! That just stinks! I would not have been too happy either! Poor Jordan! It must be miserable! I hope that his next appt will show that he is healing much better and that he will be able to start eating normal food again!

I am sorry to hear about Jordan losing his hearing aide but WOW! That is just amazing that someone found it! That is great! :) I am sure you were all so relieved! :)

I hope that you and your family have a wonderful weekend! Take care and best wishes!

Hoping Jordan is on the mend very very soon! Poor kiddo!

Hang in there Jordan!

Hi Jordan - oh and Susan feel free to read too...Hoping that the dentist is very pleased with your progress and he gives a little more permission to return to your diet of choice. As for the hearing aid - so glad it was found and Jordan speaking from experience - these things happen & moms and dads are much more understanding when things turn out for the best hence - a lesson learned. So my friend, beware - be more careful - and remember you got your one "free" pass. Now, just so you know not all "oops" turn out so well. Let's see, did Jason remember to keep his dental retainers away from his roommates dog - not once but twice.....NO - insert Yell, yell...Or did Jarred think he lost his keys (and his brothers) while traveling with the basketball team only to find them AFTER we replaced them. That might not sound too big of a deal - but it included car & fob, dorm and house. As mom & dad, I am sure told you, most important always is that you are safe - after that sometimes we do yell or at least get upstet. So, keep the hearing aids in, enjoy hearing all the little sounds and problem solved...Deal???

Now, on to other things - Jordan, I have spent most of my life around boats, marina's and fishermen and I don't think any of them dress for successful fishing as handsomely as you. You look wonderful and so at ease with your rod in hand - next photo needs to include the catch of the day. And, after that, your fans are looking forward to a golf cart photo of you cruising the neighborhood. You do take requests don't you???

Have a great weekend - and try not to return to your chewy diet too soon...little steps for BIG results:)
Love,
Randy & "boys"

Hi Mrs. Susan and Jordan!

What a great devotional...It reminds me of something I read once that made our "trials/why we go through them" so much clearer. Here is how the author described it...she said, "You know when you sleep with someone in the most unpleasant situation-such as a campsite, etc...you really feel like you KNOW that person in the morning, you are closer to that person...much closer than if you had "endured" a night at the Ritz with them. That is how it is with God, as well...we come to KNOW Him so much better through the hard times, even more so that in our good times."

I just heard today that you grow so much closer to someone when you can understand their pain, more than just understanding their joys. I hope I am making sense here. Thanks for sharing...now I have just completed a sermon myself, and I am not even the "author" of the page. =)

Well, looking forward to tomorrow.

The Shrek story was just as funny the 2nd time around. Thankfully, you found it, or it wouldn't have been as funny.
See you in the morning!

If only we could find a way for him to use his ipod without needing to put the aids in his pocket! I'm afraid they will end up in the washer someday. I hope Jordan is seeing benefit with them.

Hi!
Jordan certainly has exotic tastes! I don't Genna would even touch a crawfish. Literally, I think she'd be scared to touch it! She eats lettuce now and we're like woohoo!

Our reading at church today was about hope, too...how affliction brings endurance, and endurance builds hope (something like that)...hope is so ephemeral, but so utterly critical to surviving in this bt world.

thanks, and thanks always for praying...

So I had fun today...heard the dog barking out back so head out to find her "playing" with a kitten! I start yelling like a crazy person (shhhhhhh...I heard that!) pointing a stick at her (didn't want to actually hit her) when mama cat tries a sneak attack. At ME! All of a sudden there was pain on the back of my leg! Then she ran off again! And I was trying to HELP! So I finally get the dog in the house and rush back to see how the kitty's doing...and it's gone! I hear rustling in the bushes so assume mama was still close and grabbed the kitty as soon as I headed out of there with the dog. So that's the thanks I get!
Know that I'm still here praying!

Hi Susan and Jordan - Just stopping back for an update on the stitch removal procedure and hopefully hear that Jordan was the model patient and actually made the doctor look good with the rapid healing!! I thought about Jordan alot last weekend as we went to Atlantic City and the Marina is across the way. I grew up spending all my summers at that Marina and around boats - so Jordan's love of fishing sure is familiar. By the way, many of the captains use golf carts up and down the pier too!

This week was a little hectic around here as Jarred's college baseball team won in their division thus sending him off to Arizona with lots of last minute preparations. If you happen to get the Monmouth/Arizona college baseball game on TV - look for Jarred. He will be the one wearing smelly, wrinkled clothes as he is in Arizona - but last we heard his luggage is in Las Vegas!! So glad we made a special trip to his school to deliver things to him that are now "a work in progress" catching up. Somehow all his school road trips are much more fun for him than for me - remember last time - the search for the lost keys mission. Yikes - Arizona in the heat with NO sun screen or a bathing suit...that calls for lots of borrowing because Jarred just hates shopping - and there really is sorry little time. Oh well, he arrived safely so luckily -I am thrilled to say I wasted a worry LOL. Have a great weekend.

Today when I took Emma for a walk at my favorite park there was a yacht (and oh my it was a YACHT) pulling into a cove and they were letting down the anchor as we went by so I asked Emma if she could hear it. So we were talking about anchors!

The newspaper photo was great too, I loved how they got his dad taking a photo of him at the same time, you can see Jordan in the viewfinder.

I'll pray that Jordan's bone graft goes well this time. My hubby got a dental implant 3 years or so ago, there was talk of there not being enough bone but it ended up working. I pray it will work for Jordan too.

Dear Susan~

I am so happy to read that Jordan's surgery went well and that the news regarding the MRI is good! That is fantastic!

Oh! Poor Jordan! That just sounds like it was awful! He is such a trooper! I hope that he is feeling okay and getting tons of rest! Wow! 9 months to heal! That is a long recovery!

I hope that you all have a wonderful Holiday weekend and especially hoping Jordan is feeling 100 percent in no time at all!

Take care and HUGS! HUGS! HUGS!

Good morning - hope Jordan is feeling a little better - or at least a little more comfortable with the discomfort - if that makes any sense. And, the hot weather is cooperating by making the necessary ice packs feel good. I hope this weekend Jordan feels well enough for fishing or a non-bumpy spin in the golf cart for well deserved distractions. Thinking about you and hoping ALL the TLC Jordan gets will speed up that 9 month recovery. Since Jordan is known for "Stumping the Doctors" (not exactly the stuff that reality shows are made of though) maybe a pleasant new spin would be a super fast AND successfuly healing procedure!!

Hi Jordan - What a tough day you had yesterday & a long recovery period too! I guess the good news is that it is over and that Mom will be pampering you - EXTRA - for a bit longer. 10 days of soft foods - you do know that includes ice cream right??!!! Well, just try your hardest to follow all the directions/instructions and have some patience with the slow feel better time. Just wanted you to know that we are thinking about you. Jarred went back to college for the summer and he just called his "need to have more of list" in - so now I accept the challenge and try to find everything he wants right here in my own private inventory. Shhhh - Don't tell him I told you - but first on his list was soft toilet paper! Hope you have GREAT Memorial Day weekend plans.

I am proud of you for cooperating, and I think (once you can eat again), Mom owes you some crawfish AND hot and sour soup.

I cannot tell you enough how excited I am after reading your journal entry! Oh! My Gosh! After 18 months of having failed attempts...........this is just wonderful and I am so happy for you all! A successful MRI.......not a single movement! Yay! Yay! Yay! I will be praying that the official report will ONLY provide GREAT NEWS!

I would be tired of all the test if I were Jordan too! It's an awful lot for a young man to go through!

Boiled Crawfish.......hmmm! I have never tried it! :) I am glad Jordan enjoyed a great lunch afterwards! :)

I just want you guys to know that I am thinking of you today and of course praying that all goes well! I hope that the bone graft is over before you know it and that it goes as smoothly as possible! Oh! Poor Jordan! Hang in the buddy! :)

I hope that you will update us soon on how today went! I will be checking in often!

YEAH Jordan - Great Job on accomplishing the open MRI. Tell the truth - did you close your eyes and just imagine you were cruising around the neighborhood in your golf cart to get you through the test??? In any case, I hope you are at least half as proud of yourself as your mom is of you. What progress - and even though the MRI is a necessary evil to get you feeling your best, it isn't pleasant AND..... You pulled it off!!! Maybe all you ever needed was a little hand holding from "Dr. Amato" to boost your courage. I am a firm believer in - whatever works - go for it.
Now, for tomorrow....here is my mental spin. Good things happen in three's according to some wise old tale. So, #1 - MRI - done - dental work can be good thing #2 and I wish I could just wave my magic wand and grant you #3 good thing of YOUR choosing. If only it were so easy - just know that we will be thinking of you (#1) - (#2) all good thoughts that tomorrows procedure will be successful and not too difficult for you and (#3) that you have a proper reward idea up your sleeve (you might have to work on that one with mom first). See - the magic 3's...which by the way - aren't you Amato boy #3??? And you have 3 beautiful nieces - I am liking my "3" theory better all the time. Maybe on my 3rd try checking on you tomorrow - we will have more good news. If so my friend, we are both going out and buying 3 lottery tickets each for a big win!!!! LOL

While I miss my Gabrielle so very much I need to be here to see my surviving two children to accept Jesus as Savior. There is nothing, nothing more important concerning my children then their salvation.

Dear Jordan and Susan, I just read the update and the newspaper article (great picture, too). I continue to praise the Lord for all His mighty works in Jordan's life. Susan, no truer words can be spoken....we have to build our life and our very being on His Word and fellowship with Jesus...there simply are no short-cuts! I wanted to tell you about the baby boy, Karson, I asked you to pray for several weeks ago. At 2 weeks old, he was given only 6 weeks to live with 33 cancerous tumors all through his body. I was blessed to meet him and his parents...we prayed, stood on the Word and believed God. Tomorrow night I will be attending a praise celebration for his life...ALL TUMORS ARE GONE AND HE IS NOT BLIND! Yeah, you read right..all totally gone. He was suppose to be blind, but HE IS NOT! Jesus and His Word CANNOT fail. I'll be taking some pictures and if I can figure out how, I will send you some. I joyfully continue to stand in the gap for Jordan until he is totally healed, too. God is soooooooo good. Please continue to pray for my son as he gets ready to deploy again. I will include all your sons and their families in my prayers for you. In Christ, Piper Ham

Hi Jordan - Hope all goes well today with your MRI & that the leg pain has stayed away. I was pretty impressed with the article and picture of you in the paper. All that publicity, making friends with your new neighors, being a devoted fisherman AND operating heavy machinery - what's next - running for mayor??? You sure manage to keep yourself pretty busy. I think the most impressive of ALL is how quickly you adjusted to the hearing aids. That is HUGE - good job and congratulations. Change can be difficult - and I am sure having a defective hearing aid made it more of a challenge - but the end result is so worth it. Looking forward to Mom's next update about the Adventures of Jordan.

Luke 24:50-53 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

Susan,thank youfor for praying for our little Addy. She is doing great! We do not have the path report yet but the fluid was consistent with that of a craniopharyngioma. Her surgeons were pretty sure that was what we were dealing with. We chose not to have resection. Instead we chose a limited procedure. They inserted a catheter and drained the cyst portion of the tumor. We hope with the cath in place for future draining combined with radiation it will be enough to "kill" the BT cells. We hope she will not suffer the endocrine defeciencies most children endure. Thanks for keeping up with us and we will continue to keep Jordan in our prayers as well.Happy Mothers Day and God Bless

Hey, Jordan!

Congratulations on your new hearing aides. That clicking you heard in the car may have been a signal that you were turning a corner in your life. As for hearing your own voice, I think most people are disappointed when they hear their voices for the first time on a tape recorder - it's never the same as you perceive it yourself, and since it sounds strange it seems bad.

Wishing your Mom a happy Mothers' Day and praising God for the timely relief of her migraine and for Logan's remission.

I am so glad that you were able to get away on your weekend retreat. You sound refreshed and we will all benefit from that with more wonderful devotionals.

Way to go Jordan with that hearing-aid!

I'm so exicited, I am leaving Thursday to go on my Emmaus Walk(spiritual weekend). I won't return until Sunday. This will be the longest I leave the kids.

Dear Susan,

It's so important to get the word out there that brain tumors in children exist. Most of the world just does not know. I am so grateful that so many mom's and dad's are working hard to raise awareness.

My Timmy was a "stuff" collector too. I remember how his eyes would light up, especially when he was sick, when people gave him things. It didn't take much to make him smile..a pen..a sticker..a hat.

Praying for your friend Courtney and for you Susan and your precious family too.

Be back soon.

I find it rather ironic...I have a friend who found out last August that she has a brain tumor. Her birthday is on Friday and there's some concern that she won't even make it until then...during brain tumor action week...

The Lord is always with you, no matter what you have to face.
Psalms 139:7-10 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

But I will be praying and so will Colin!! Colin just got the "latest and greatest" in hearing aid technology, an upgraded hearing aid! Wow, I thought we already had the best but St. Jude's sure takes care of us. He LOVES his new hearing aid, he says it is so clear and sounds so much better. I hope this works out for Jordan.

Dear Susan,

Thank you for the pictures of your beautiful grandaughters. They certainly do put a smile on my face with their sweetness.

This dental procedure Jordan is having sounds awful. A bone graft! Sorry I am a big chicken when it comes to the dentist. I am sure your Jordan will be brave and I hope so much this time it works.

Thank you for your devotional. I feel as if it spoke to me. I hold onto the promise that God's presence is with me, holding me up during these difficult times.

Sending you love my friend.

Hi and thanks for the social & medical updates - AND pictures. Love your sharing the visuals of special/happy times.

As for Jordan's big dental procedure....can I give an experienced mom who probably has all the best tricks up her sleeve a "suggestion"?? Fill some rubber gloves with water and freeze them in a molded facial form. They worked great whenever the boys had dental work and could even lay on them if I was careful not to fill it too much. If it doesn't help Jordan's discomfort - it will be some fun topic of discussion for anyone visiting your freezer. I actually started to use them as a joke when I send home care packages for Jason that need to be kept cold. So, that is my pathetic version of "wanting to lend a hand...." and of course good thoughts come with the advice:)

I hope Jordan has a little patience and some time to get used to his hearing aids without the conflict of the teeth issues. Getting used to hearing aids is difficult enough without the extra stuff. You might have to get creative or resort to bribery to convince him that the end will more than justify the means. Maybe one of Grammy's girls will just have to whisper special secrets to their Uncle Jordan to convince him to hang tough with the challenge.

So happy that the visit to Jordan's neurologist comes with love and happy reunions.
Get those happy dancers psyched - we will be watching for them and hoping they come out in bulk after all those appointments.
Happy Fishing
Love,

Dear Susan~

I think it is just wonderful that St. Jude's is sending Jordan's hearing aids to the ENT in Baton Rouge! Talk about going above and beyond! I have always heard great things about St. Jude's and then I have now followed Jordan's story for quite sometime and I am always impressed with what you write about St. Judes!

I hope that Jordan's hearing aids will fit perfectly! :)

I will definitely definitely pray that all goes well on Friday! Oh! My Gosh! I just feel so bad for Jordan! That just sounds awful! Ouch! I hope and pray that the appt will go well and that it will work this time, and that Jordan will experience as little discomfort as possible!

I loved reading about Jordan's new obsession with fishing! :) That is great! I wish we lived closer! Logan loves to fish! :) I was excited to read that Jordan has met some new friends on his fishing adventures! Good for him! :)

The pictures are so cute! :) Happy second birthday Kayla! Oh! She is just tooooooooo cuuuuuuteee! I love the pink bow and her adorable little button nose! She is adorable!

Wishing you all the very best always and hoping all will go well on Friday and that it will be over for Jordan before he knows it! :)

Dear Susan and Jordan, Hello precious ones! I am so behind in signing the guestbook...but thank God I'm not behind in praying for you. Tonight when I pulled up your site, I decided to re-read through your journals to stir up my memory of what exactly I was going to pray for. First and foremost, I am AMAZED at the joy that literally permeates in every picture I have seen of Jordan. If I had gone through all what he has gone through, I don't think I would be smiling...as a matter of fact I don't know anybody who could maintain that level of happiness. My hat's off to you, Jordan! and Susan, as a mom I don't know how you do this day after day....oh yes I do, it's the Holy Spirit moving in your life EVERY SINGLE DAY! On that great and glorious day when we all stand before the Lord to receive our rewards (to lay at His feet) I suggest you bring a wheel barrow. You are living testimony of the verse "greater is HE Who is in me than he that is in the world". It just goes to show that no matter how hard the battle or difficulty in life (especially when your children are involved)we can have total victory because of the Blood of the Lamb! Blessed be the name of the Lord! When I was praying for the bone graft this Friday, the Lord brought a promise to mind..."the heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord and He can turn it which ever way it needs to go". The Lord will direct that surgeon's hand in the precise way it needs to go...I ask for His anointing on every single person in that operating room..for a spirit of discernment for every medical professional who plays a part in this procedure. I continue to stand in the gap for total healing and restoration...for that tumor to die at the root and every single cell be restored to life. Jordan is the handiwork of God and it was He who formed him in your womb....he was fearfully and wonderfully made. I think you will greatly be surprised at ALL the hundreds of people the Lord has used you to touch their lives. When I think of Jordan, I can't help but think of Philip Bliss. You probably have no idea who in the world this is...but I bet you know the song "My Redeemer"...one of the most infamous songs ever composed....it is sung in thousands or churchs and revivals...for a lack of space I won't write every verse but this one..."I will praise my dear Redeemer, His triumphant power I'll tell, How the victory He giveth Over sin, and death and hell". Philip Bliss had NO idea that what he penned that fateful night would ever become one of the greatest hymns recorded. You see, Mr. Bliss wrote this last hymn before he died in a train wreck. He survived the initial crash, but was killed trying (unsuccessfully) to rescue his wife. The lyrics were found in his belongings after the accident. This song is one of the first ever recorded on a phonograph. George Stebbins made the recording during a demonstration of Thomas Edison's new invention in New York City. A Mr. James McGranahan wrote the notes in 1877....one year after Philip Bliss' death. Just as Mr. Bliss had no idea how the Lord would bless thousands, probably millions by now, by those words scribbled on a sheet of paper. I believe that this is exactly what our Father is doing in both you and Jordan's life. What a blessing you aer to the body of Christ. I will gladly continue to stand in the gap for this precious brother. In Christ, piper Ham

Hello Susan and Jordan. Sorry I have been lax in singing in. It has been crazy busy up here lately. Just was reading in Philipians and thought this was a great verse.

Phil 2:13

"For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure."

Isn't that a wonderful thought.

Susan, your devotion message is wonderful.

Harold and I pray for Jordan each day, some days it is aloud and together when we pray as a couple. I do believe that agreeing in prayer together is powerful, and I know that you do also.

May God bless Jordan, you, Rick and all your boys and their families.

Thank you so much for your WONDERFUL message! I am so happy and relieved! Oh! Thank God! I had to laugh when I read what you wrote about the things we get happy about in the cancer world! I thought the same thing and thought "Oh! My Gosh, somebody is going to stop by Logan's site who is not familiar with cancer and think I have gone off the deep end." :)

Thank you for your prayers! Thank you for everything! Thank you for being so wonderful and standing by our side through this new and EXTREMELY UNWANTED journey!

Hi Susan - Don't mean to criticize-- but how could you put such a beautiful picture of Uncle Jordan and baby Karli on the site without given Jordans' HUGE smile any attention? Sorry Jordan if I embarrass you (I embarrass my "boys" all the time- LOL) but how very proud and handsome Jordan looks holding Karli. And - what a little munchkin she is -Uncle Jordan looks like he could palm her if she wasn't such precious cargo!!! Sure wish I lived closer to "borrow" a few of those little girl baby snuggles until it is my turn...Oh well, guess you are just going to have to keep sharing cyber style.
Time to go back to helping Neil - he has been number crunching for weeks now and the clock is ticking - while the pump keeps going with all the rain....holding our breathe that we don't have floods or a power failure...no time for that stress with April 17th fast approaching!!!
Love,

Thank you for everything! Thank you just doesnt seem adequate enough to express how grateful I am to you!! I am so lucky to have you as a friend!

Thank you for the emails, the messages in Logan's journal, your journal entry about Logan, the e-card which was just awesome and everything else! You are so wonderful!

The picture of Jordan and Karli is just so precious! Oh! My Gosh! I love Karli's hair! She is soooooooo cute and Jordan is looking as handsome as always! :)

Susan~ Everything you wrote about the doctor at UT sounds promising! That is wonderful! I am sure you all are anxious to meet with him! I truly hope that this doctor holds the key! I hope and pray so!

Dear Susan,

I am back...after a hard week. Thank you for all your love and support. You and Jordan are never far from my thoughts.

I always love to see pictures of your "girls". Karli is getting so big. She is so huggable and adorable. There is such a gentleness on Jordan's face as he holds her. He has so much love inside him.

Thank you for sharing the information about Logan. My heart goes out to April. I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers. She is blessed to have you as a friend and a prayer warrior.

Be back soon.

Jordan, Your picture with Baby Karli is way too cute!!!! I wanted to kind of paraphrase what Mom was saying-something our pastor said a few weeks ago in his sermon. What he said is that if you are a Believer, Life is the worst here on Earth that it will ever be. And if you are not a Believer, than you are in for the best times of your life because Eternity will be nothing compared to what we are going through now. Wow, I remind myself many times a day how glorious Eternity will be!! And I also remind myself how blessed I am by my CB friends!!!! Have a relaxing weekend!! We have a track meet, a baseball game and basketball games to attend, plus our son's 17 birthday!!! Love and prayers,

Hi Mrs. Susan!

Looking at that picture of Jordan and Karli just made me think of the best word to describe Jordan when he is with the girls...gentle! He has such a gentle, sweet spirit and it shows when he is playing, loving, or helping with his 3 precious nieces. His actions show how much he cares about them, and they sure do adore him, too.

On to Logan...how heartbreaking! Although, I know Jesus is more than able to heal Logan, my heart still breaks for April, as I can only imagine the thoughts going on in her mind. I am praying that the Great Physician is comforting her through this trying time.

Well, I hope you guys have a great weekend.

We love you!

Dear Susan and Jordan, Finally, someone has topped my airport horror stories! Bless your heart, I know it had to be frustrating. I am overjoyed with the test results! I can only imagine going through limitless tests and waiting on the results. Like I have said before, although I don't sign on every day, I daily lift this precious young man up to our Father. I asked Him today for certain promises to pray for Jordan and this is how the Holy spirit led me.....Father, I come to you today in Jesus name and thank you for allowing me the privilege of meeting Jordan (even if it is just on the computer. I thank You for Your Word is forever settled so when we pray the Word, we know it will come to pass. You have shown us so many times the importance of speaking and declaring Your Words instead of our feelings. In Romans, You tell us to CONFESS You as Lord as soon as we invite You into our heart....You tell us to SPEAK to the mountain that is in our way and TELL it to go into the sea.....with that in mind, I continue to stand in the gap for Jordan....thoroughly expecting what we pray for to come to pass.I praise You for all the glorious works You have already done in his life. You said You would be faithful to complete this work in him. On the authority of Your Word I speak restoration to every damaged cell in his body. I speak creative miracles to any and every part of the healing process that needs to take place in his physical body. I speak perfect soundness of mind and wholeness in body and spirit. You, Lord, are the help of his countenance and the lifter of his head...the joy of the Lord will be his strength and stronghold. I commission God's ministering spirits to go forth as they harken to God's Word to provide the necessary help in assistance in bringing these precious promises to pass in his life.. Father, no Word of Yours is void of the power that it takes to cause itself to come to pass. You told us we could establish Your Word on this earth for it is already established in Heaven. NOTHING is too hard or impossible for You. I continue to thank You Lord for Your awesome miraculous work in Jordan's life. As he continues to put his entire faith and trust in You, I put myself in agreement with every promise you have made to him. I give you all the praise, honor and glory for Your majestic work You are bringing about in his life. In Jesus name I pray, AMEN! In Christ, Piper Ham

Hey Susan....

I'm a bit late signing the guestbook (PRAISE GOD I already knew the results) O:) I just emailed you asking if Joseph flew up with you, and then found on here that he drove. That'll teach me to lag behind in reading updates! ;-)

I got so tickled reading about Jordan making friends with everyone. He's SO PRECIOUS and that sounds JUST LIKE HIM! What a DOLL!!!!!! Makes me miss him more! (You too) Oh, I was SO HAPPY to hear that your results were good. PRAISE GOD for HIS provision and protection!

Now, this pic of these beautiful baby girls just "gets' me every time I see it. Ya think their Mommies would let me "borrow" them for a week or two?? HE HE HE... I've always said I wanted a daughter.... I'm not quite sure I'd know what to do if I had one. (After having lived with three rowdy boys) They sure are adorable!!!!! I could have TONS of fun playing dress up with them. AAAHHH... to be able to use bows and dress them in frilly dresses... I KNOW you have a BLAST with them.

Okay, I didn't mean to take up your whole book.... he he.... just wanted to say how VERY MUCH we LOVE & MISS YOU!!!!!!!! Please tell everyone hello & we send our love?

Thinking of you ALWAYS....

Susan, you really are a gifted writer. It is so exiting reading the updates. I get so excited, I feel like its a great ride.

I wouldn't worry about the CT, God must have a reason why it just doesnt work out. So, not to worry.

It is truly a blessing to hear the great news and to hear all about the trip and all the people you meet Jordan. God truly has a great things for you.

The collage of your grandbabies is DARLING! They are so cute! :) I love all the pictures you posted! I am sure you and Jordan were so excited when Joseph and his buddy came to visit! That is wonderful and it sounds like you had a nice visit! :)

I am so sorry to hear about the 4 hour delay! I am right there with Jordan when it comes to patience, especially at an airport! :) I had to chuckle when I read about all the friends Jordan made while you all were delayed! Oh! My Gosh, that is soooo sweet! He is just so wonderful and so special!

Susan~ Thank you for the emails! I always enjoy talking with you! As I said in the email, I am so happy to hear the words STABLE! That is wonderful and lets hope and pray that will be the case forever and ever! :)

I think it is wonderful that you all have so many dear friends at St. Jude's and that it feels like family when you are there! That is great and I am so happy to hear that your friends received great reports too! YAY! :)

Wow, what an incredible writer you are. I took the St Jude journey with you and Jordan. I am so glad Joseph and Zach came to visit as I know how much that meant to Jordan.. (and you, of course). I am certainly excited about Jordans news of "stable". I know that "waiting" to hear those words was difficult, but what a joy and release you must have experienced afterward. Anyway, I'm glad you're home and am sooo glad this St. Jude trip was a good one.
Thank you for the reminder that Easter is a time to rejoice in all that our Savior did for us.

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.

Hey Susan,

I am so sorry that I didn't get the time to visit with you and Jordan while you two were here in Memphis. It's just been so busy latley around here.

Anyway, I am so glad to read that Jordan's scans are stable. God is sooo good, ALL the time. It was great to read that you got to meet some new friends and meet up with old ones. God always knows what we need, when we need it. He's an "on-time" God!!

I love the story of Jordan meeting all those people in the airport...what a hoot!!

I pray that you have a blessed Easter weekend. Todd is off work this weekend, so we are looking forward to some nice family time together.

Again, sorry I missed getting to see you and Jordan. We'll try again next time.

It's been so long since signing in, but I've thought of you many times. WOW what WONDERFUL news! I'm SO happy for you. We understand how great a word "STABLE" is, too! Jordan and Tim have so many experiences in common that I very glad to hear he is doing well! The other day, I was reading some in one of Corrie Ten Boom's book and thought of you! She is one of my favorites. I'm going to have to call some time to see how it was going to her little shop! How in the world did you ever get to go there?!? And I'm curious about what books you have read of hers so far. Love to you! Deborah

So, let me recap - Jordan made lots of new friends and made the best of his delay time in the airport, you visited with St. Jude "family/friends", Jordan got the peer pressure thumbs up for hearing aids and you even got a special visit in with your college "boy" and his friend. All good STUFF & I just hope you have lots of energy left for celebrating!!!!!

I hope and pray that all goes well for you and that God continues to bless you! Thank you for your wonderful reminders to meditate on Gods word Susan!! What a great thing to read just before Easter.

God Bless!

HEY GUYS!!

I miss you like CRAZY!!!! It was SO HARD to know you were so close (Memphis) and I didn't get to see you. If I can't get the hubby to bring us down, I may just have to bring the boys and come myself. HA!

Can't wait for the next update!!!!

Love you,

Hi, Jordan and Susan,
Jordan, you remain in my prayers for health and happiness. I pray that your scans and labs are good, and your vision and hearing remain stable.
I was so happy to hear about the wonderful play at your church, and so happy for Jordan to walk up to the front to be closer with God.

Hi Susan and Jordan - Just wanted to wish you a safe traveling journey filled with lots of fun, quiet, gossip"y" time together. I can only try to appreciate the anticipation and anxiety of a St. Jude visit - but as you always look on the bright positive side - so will we! We are hopeful that all tests results will go your way and that the testing is only a "minor" intrusion in all the fun you will be having seeing wonderful "old" friends and lots of friendly faces at St. Jude. It is patients like Jordan who come back feeling good, looking handsome and wonderful that give all the St. Jude caretakers renewed energy and the warm fuzzy feelings they get by just knowing they were are part of your road back to recovery. Enjoy the mom and son bonding & have wonderful reunions along the way!!
Love,

Dear Susan,

I am sorry Jordan wasn't feeling well. I hope it has all passed by now. I know the headaches and nausea are frightening. Everything is always different in the brain tumor world.

I like what you wrote about us just visiting this planet, just passing through. It is a much needed reminder that someday we all will be together again in Heaven. :-)

I can't believe it is already time for you to go to St. Judes. I know the days of testing are so long, but I am excited for you and Jordan that you will see all your special friends.

Hope to hear from you before you go.

Sending my heartfelt thanks for your love and support.

According to a forward I received by email today, this verse is the exact middle of the Bible. It's a good verse and one which can take on a whole new meaning when dealing with drs. They don't know everything. The Lord knows ALL things, and any knowledge drs have come from Him. So always look to the source first!
Wow! When you mess up a computer you really mess up a computer! Those are kinda major parts! I don't suppose you were able to save everything? Can't remember if my computer was reformatted when that happened or not. Obviously it's pretty common...only difference is my son-in-law fixes mine...

I loved the pictures of Grace's birthday - everyone looks like they had a wonderful time! Chuck E. Cheese is always a favorite of my six year old and my three year old. Unfortunately for them, we live pretty far from the nearest one (about an hour), so it's a rare treat.

Hoping you are both doing well and enjoying spring. Sending out hugs and prayers for health and happiness,

Don't know why but had the hardest time picking a passage today. Know that I'm still here praying, Jordan!
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.

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.

We read this verse at church last night and it's beyond mind boggling: God the Father "turning His back," as it were, on God the Son. Jesus went through that willingly, taking the full punishment for our sins. Since He loved you enough to do that for you, He's not going let you go through anything alone, but will be with you every step of the way.
Mark 15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Glad Jordan is feeling better -after all, it takes a lot of energy to keep up with little ones at Chucky Cheese! Jordan must get most of his easy going pleasant disposition from your example Susan - anyone who can manage a tribe of FIVE little guys - well you have certainly mastered mellow. Obviously part of your reward for being such a wonderful mom of "boys" are your beautiful girls!!!

Susan & Jordan,
First and foremost, Jordan is such a handsome young man with God's light in his eyes ... what a blessing and tremendous testimony God is building thru you all.
Ok ... the devotional is perfect. God so knew I needed to hear that today ... in the midst of our storms, He's there to carry us thru, "prune" us (if you will) along the way therefore to use us for His glory. It's all about Him and I wanted to thank you for sharing this with me (us).
I'm not always good about signing in ... I check on you all but am bad about taking time to let you know what a blessing you are to so many. God is allowing our trials to strengthen others and I know that He destined our paths to cross thru our St Jude journeys.
Know that whether you hear from me or not, I continue to pray for you all and I thank you for always being such a compassionate, faithful friend who encourages us on the guestbook as well as your webpage.
We'll keep looking up together ... thanks again.
Much love from Arkansas ...

And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Romans 8:35, 37-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?...Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Hi Jordan and Susan,
Thank you for always taking time to check in on Carly. Your faith and prayers are truly a blessings. I love to read your journal entries because I am always so blessed by your gentle encouragement of God's goodness and love. Jordan, Carly is scheduled for a sleep study on April 6th. Hopefully, they will be able to figure out why she can't stay asleep and get her on the right path to Sleepytown. I am glad your job is still going well. Have a great weekend.

Dear Susan

Your update was filled with all good news. It made me so happy. I am thrilled about Kris becoming a grandmother. Danny and Erin's baby is a miracle of love. I am thrilled to hear that little Logan will be stopping chemo soon. I wish you all the best April. You are the best mommy.

Okay back to you Susan. You sound good...so does Jordan. I can't believe another sleep test. You know I will be hoping and praying for it to go well. Please tell Jordan that I think he is an amazing young man. He has many obstacles to deal with, but he continues to battle on.

It's 80 degrees here today in New Jersey. It feels wonderful!

Sending love and hugs my friend.

Ouch! That devotion really struck home. I really, really want to have a "yes" face, but it can be very hard some times. Thanks for the encouragement b/c I am going to really focus on having that "yes" (infectious) attitude.
It was great getting to have 2 visits with you guys last week...and getting 2 days with Jordan. That is always a blessing.

I have a little riddle for you...
How is preparing for Jordan's visit like preparing for a hurricane???

You better stock up on some serious water! =)
Kayla sure does take after that aspect of Jordan. They are both too precious.

I am rejoicing over the new birth and the last week of chemo for your friends. God is so faithful!
Well, talk to you later.

Hi, Susan and Jordan,
I'm sending lots of wishes your way for a good MRI scan - I hope it works out beautifully and provides you with wonderful results. :)
I'm so glad Jordan's doctor is such a wonderful and understanding man. I'm sorry he's had to battle cancer, too, but it's undoubtedly given him remarkable insight and empathy for the patients and families he works with. One of the doctors who fills in for my radiation oncologist is a cancer survivor, too, and I appreciated his insights when I spoke with him. There are also two nurses in his office who are breast cancer survivors, and they've been so helpful, too.

Dear Susan and Jordan, Hello precious ones! I am agreeing with you and praying for your trip to Memphis to be successful. I'm reminded of the scripture "the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord and he delighteth in his way, though he fall he will not be cast down for the Lord upholds him with His hand." The angels go before you making your way clear..opening the doors that need to be opened and closing the doors that need to be closed..the Holy Spirit will lead and guide you by His stirring in your spirit..all while you stay in peace in the palm of His Hands. I've prayed for all the doctors and any medical staff that has anything to do with Jordan (there maybe some that do not know Christ) there is a promise to cover that situation too..."the heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord and He can direct it where it needs to go." Years ago nearing the end of my pregnancy, something began to go wrong. Although the doctor was known to be a great doctor, I knw he didn't know the Lord (I asked him). He gave us 2 options knowing that either one could possibly cause instant death. As I prayed in that office, I asked the Lord for clear directions. He spoke that promise to me and I realized that in my situation the "king" was the doctor and the "heart" was his medical expertise. When I returned, I asked the doctor what he would do if it was HIS wife and HIS baby in this same situation....he responded quickly "I would do an emergency c-section and have the Angel Squad Team ready (this was the name of the high risk infant ICU team). That's exactly what we did and my Benjamin was fine. It's amazing to me how He can take a scripture like that which doesn't even mention a doctor yet use it for direction. So I'm praying for clear instructions from the Lord for whoever ministers to Jordan. Please know that DAILY you and your family are joyfully being lifted up to our Heavenly Father. Continue to stay wrapped up in His loving arms, In Christ, Piper Ham

Wish I could go with you guys to Memphis, but I am still tied up a bit with dad.

So how's your special family doing today?!
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!
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.

Hello, Susan and Jordan. Boy am I glad that the iron supplements are helping with Jordan's energy level. My dad just found out that he is low on blood count too. He has been low on energy and we thought it was just from getting over the heart surgery.

I am already praying for the trip to Memphis and the scans!

Hi Susan - I had been constantly checking to see more good news about Jordan, test results, medicine helping etc. - but along with my short attention span, inability to mult-task, patience isn't always a virtue for me. Hopefully all his well in your hectic world and that you are just enjoying your family - new house and whenever possible your beautiful little girls.
Tax season "to do" errands for Neil have been keeping me busy and since Jarred's team did not make the basketball play-offs this year I have just been informed that he will in fact be home for Spring break - all 20 dirty laundry loads worth I am sure (and looking forward to it).
Thanks for the email about "boys" - I do consider you an expert as the proud mom of five - but interestingly enough I have to admit I am the guilty one in this house for some of those examples........just not deliberately. Oh well, even when I am not the one to make the mess or break something accidently - I am the one to clean it up. Luckily though - nothing as challenging as the ones mentioned in Tonya's paint or bubble journals! "Talk" to you soon.

Dear Susan,

It's interesting to hear about Jordan's low thyroid and being anemic. I am so glad that they caught this. I have to believe that once the doctor's get his thyroid up and his blood stronger... Jordan will be stronger. This will be wonderful!

I am sure your new home is keeping you so busy. Thank you for always finding the time to check in on us.

Lots of Love From Snowy New Jersey...
Susan

Hello Dear Sweet Susan~

I am glad that Jordan's lab results have provided some answers into why Jordan has not been feeling his best! I hope that the iron and increase in medication for his thyroid will help him to feel better in no time! My mother has had so many problems with her thyroid so I am familiar with how bothersome and difficult a thyroid problem can be! I truly hope and pray that the medication increase will help Jordan 100 percent!

I was so excited to read that your son Jason, your daughter in law, Kristen, and the babies came to visit.......as well as some of your very close friends! :) I am sure you all had a wonderful time and I hope that you all were able to get some much needed rest and relaxation! And Ricks Famous BBQ sounds yummy! :)

I visited Timmy's foundation web page! His mother did a fantastic job! What an amazing woman! My heart goes out to her as well as it does to Brayden's mother! Too many angels! :( :(

Sending hugs and prayers your way from Florida!

Hi Mrs. Susan and Mr. Rick!
I wanted to thank you sooo much for being such a great host/hostess! The bbq was delicous, as it always is, but the fellowship was even better. We had a great time, and I know Kayla enjoyed spending time with you guys, too. She still wants the "kitty outside" all day! =) Her and her little demands...
I am praying that this medication gets Jordan to feeling much better. We hate to see him unhappy...b/c, as you know, if Jordan isn't happy...no one's happy! =)
We love you guys! Have a fun day with Mrs. Judy. Talk to you later.
Love, Kristin

Well, I was up late and now I woke early too. Is that a sign of old age? Ha ha. I just wanted you to know that I prayed for Jordan right before I prayed for my own sons last night. I kind of go in order of age on the kids I pray for, so Jordan fits right in there before my boys and their wives.

You must be glad for the test results to put a tag on why Jordan has been dragging lately! I will pray that the meds will boost his energy lots. That young man has so much to do, so he does not need to be slowed by low energy levels! He is such a super person and such a lover of the Lord! Jordan, you are a real inspiration to me to be more open with my love of Jesus, and to see things with the eyes of our Lord! You do not let the world get in your way very much!

Susan, Harold told me how much you kept up with my dad's progress during the time of his heart surgery! Thanks for praying for him. Please continue. He is healing very well.

Hope the entire Amato family has a wonderful weekend.

Love ya.

Hope the house is coming along in every way you hoped and dreamed!

I'm glad to hear that you are getting some resolution regarding Jordan's recent problems.

We are so very glad to be home again.

On Tuesday right after we got Steven's MRI results, a man approached us and introduced himself and it was Mark Horrocks. It was a pleasure to meet him.

Brain tumors in general, and JPA's in particular, seem to lead to very complicated situations in terms of side effects. I'm sorry for all of Jordan's recent travails, and I'll be praying that you find a solution.

Hey Susan and family,

I love the words of Hope that you shared with us. If you don't mind, I'd love to put that on Shae's site.

Guess where Todd, Mason, and myself went Saturday night? We went to St. Jude to visit a family. Mark Horrocks called us last week about this family and Todd & I agreed that we were ready to start back taking meals to families. I hope to update Shae's site later tonight and give more details. I have packing to do tonight as we are leaving tomorrow to go visit Jake's family. :-) We are so excited.

I pray that Jordan's results were good. Did his rash go away?

Have a wonderful weekend and know that I am thinking about you.

Holding on to Hope,
Dawn - mom to Angel Shae & Mason

Thankful for you............... <longhornfan2@comcast.net>

As we enter the Lenten Season today I thought I'd share a passage from Isaiah that really speaks of what this time of year is all about. Am still here praying!!!!!!!!!
Is 53:3-6: He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 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.

In a few minutes we will be out the door on our way to Children's Hospital in Philadelphia to meet with Timmy's Oncologist. You have strengthened me, filled my heart with love, and given me the encouragement to do what I need to do today.

I love you Susan. I will be checking back soon to hear the good results from Jordan's bloodwork.

Hello Susan and Jordan,

I hope you are staying warm this weekend and the day finds you well. I would like to share some exciting news I received from the atate this afternoon. Please share this info with friends and family and wear orange on Feb. 28th if you can.

On Feb. 28th, 2007, the state of Louisiana will B having an "Orange Day" to recognize and celebrate children in our state who have fought and are still fighting life-threatening illnesses. To make a long story short, before Brayden passed on 12-29-06, he requested the day before that there is a day where everyone wears orange. A friend contacted Kathleen Blanco's office and submitted a proclamation. IT WAS APPROVED and Orange Day will B celebrated for you, B, and all other children in our state who have fought and are still fighting a good fight to live. Please wear Orange on Feb. 28th, 2007----- God Bless!!!

I hope your day was filled with much love and laughter and every day hereafter. Your site is so inspirational; thanks for sharing it with all of us. There is strength in numbers so as I pray for you and yours, will you please say a prayer for my Carter...thank you. May God's blessings be known to us all.

Have you read the poem "the littlest soldiers"? (you can look it up on the internet if you want) I think it does a good job describing these heros.

Hello from up in north LA. Thank goodness I am home after a long sixteen days in Cleveland. Susan, first I want to thank you so much for all the prayers and emails asking about my dad and his heart surgery. All our prayers were answered and things went very smoothly for him. Please continue to pray as he gets his strength back and heals.
He is eighty and a strong believer.

Now to important business, how is my favorite guy, Jordan? I have prayed for him each day and am asking the Lord for Jordan's docs to get to the bottom of what ever is making him feel so tired!

Prayer: Father God I praise YOU for who YOU are: for YOUR holiness, YOUR righteousness, YOUR perfect justice, YOUR mercy, YOUR compassion and YOUR loving kindness. YOU alone are worth of our praise, and I bow before YOU now asking for YOUR protection of Jordan as he is tested by the docs. Help them to find out how to treat Jordan and make him feel much better.

God, YOU made this young man and YOU sustain him. Give him healing in his body. Lift his spirits, and allow him good rest when he sleeps, and strengthen his body so he can be energetic and be the wonderful man YOU have made him to be. God, I thank YOU for Jordan, Susan and Rick an all of Jordan's family. Bless them, each one, and let their love of Jesus continue to shine out to all who know them and see the godly lives they live. I ask all in the name above all names, Jesus Christ. AMEN.

Heb 6:17-20: Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Happy Birthday Susan - and many - many more!! I am sure that just being with your big/loving family will make your day special.
Happy New Home - it looks like you have accomplished your mission already - once Jordan gave us the open house tour it officially became "home".....Wishing all of you health and happiness in your new address. Looks like you just waved a magic wand and poof - Home Sweet Home!
AND.....last - but not least - CONGRATULATIONS JORDAN - I am so glad that your hard work was noticed and that not only did you get glowing reviews - but more $$$. Try not to spend it all at work!!!
Have a great weekend.....

I will never be able to repay the blessing you are to my family, and the strength and stability you offer to Habitat for Hope. We love you and your sweet family so much and can't wait to get a chance to spend more time together. Tell Rick we are looking at planning that "one year" just to get him up here!!!

Sounds like you are all doing well . . . getting moved into the new house - which is gorgeous. And congratulations to Jordan - I hope he gets Employee of the Month soon.

You are such an encouragement, Susan. God is certainly using you as you bring comfort to so many. I hope you know how much we all appreciate it. I always look forward to your guestbook entries on Jacob's site. THANK YOU!

I hope you have a fabulous birthday weekend . . . and I hope all those men in your life spoil you rotten! :)

Yummy King Cake! You are making my mouth water. This is the time of the year that I miss being away from New Orleans. There ain't nothing like a good ole Crawfish Boil and some King Cake to follow. Me and the kids were suppose to come down for Mardi Gras. But, it looks like we are not going to make it. My dad sounds a little disappointed. We are cruising out of New Orleans on March 19 and also coming down for the arrival of my new niece on April 16. I decided to cancel the Mardi Gras trip to try to save on some gas. Your house looks beautiful! It looks like the neighborhood off of I-10 before you get to MS before the rest area. Can't think of the name of it. Anyway my Aunt lives in there and the houses look the same.
Sending lots of prayers your way for Jordan. I hope the docs can figure out what is causing the problems. Ugggh! The life of cancer.

Hello Dear Sweet Amato family!

I have missed checking in on you all so much! Logan caught a cold and of course I caught it as well so I havent been able to check in on my favorite cb friends in awhile and have missed checking in on you guys so much!

I am so sorry to hear that Jordan hasnt been feeling well and has been dragging lately! :( I truly truly hope and pray that this will all be resolved very soon and that all of his appts are going well! Jordan~ You are one tough guy! Hang in there, my friend! :)

I love the poem you posted! I hope that all is well and that that you guys are almost unpacked and starting to settle into your new home! :)

I think it's wonderful that you are going to do a garage sale for Habitat for Hope! Susan~ You are amazing!

Dear Susan,

Well in case I don't get back before Friday let me say "Happy Birthday" to a beautiful woman and a friend. I hope there will be time for the men in your life to take you out and do something special.

I've been wondering how Jordan is doing these last few days. Anxious to hear what the doctors have to say and mostly will do.

Thank you Susan for your support on Timmy's website. It is our hope that somehow, someway we will raise alot of money to support brain tumor research. I hope you don't mind if I leave a link here.

On a warm note Carly's MAW trip is moving along smoothly. It is set up for May and the Hiers family will be headed to Maui for some fun in the sun!

Hey Susan & Jordan!!!

Boy, how I'm missing you guys!!! It was SO GOOD to hear you'd finally made it into your new house. WHAT A BLESSING! I'm sure ready to see some pictures, you'll have to get Mr. Jordan to do some modeling inside and out of the house. I'm SO VERY EXCITED for you! (Can't wait to see it)

Now, to all of Susan's online friends...... did you know that her birthday will be Friday??? YEP, our PRECIOUS Susan was born on February 9! I thought I'd give you all a "heads up" in case you want to make certain that you stop in and wish her a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Susan, I want to be the first to wish you an AMAZING BIRTHDAY! You have been a TRUE BLESSING to me (and our family) and I'm just SO HAPPY that God allowed our paths to cross. You've gone above and beyond what many call "friendship." I LOVE YOU LIKE A SISTER.... and even saying that doesn't feel like enough. You've been a Godly advisor, a Mentor, a WOMAN OF GRACE & TRUTH! Seriously, I just can't say enough! Okay, I'd better save some space so I can come back on Friday and wish you well on your actual birthday. (He he)

You guys take care and give each other a GREAT BIG HUG from me???

I LOVE YOU,
Tonya

Heb.4:14-16: Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

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.

So, when are you coming back to Memphis? I need another Susan fix. I may be going to St. Jude next week to see Liam and his mother. He's a doll and I am just so drawn to him.

Dear Susan and Jordan, Greetings precious and very missed sister and brother in the Lord! I was beginning to think you had fallen off the face of the earth. I knew it could not be the rapture because I am still here. Ha! I am always so blessed by your updates. I tell you, between you and Tonya, I have to stay on my toes and dig in my Word (which thank God I love to do anyway). I am continuing to lift up that handsome Jordan. It still amazes me how the Holy Spirit can lay someone on your heart so heavy (in a good way)and you never have met them or really talked with them. Well, that's where Jordan is. Sometimes in my quiet time, I'll come across a verse and suddenly his picture will pop up in my mind...then I just stop and pray for him. One day I hae simply got to meet ya'll. I am so excited...this Saturday at 5:00 am I will pick up my son at the airport! He's been back in the states for a couple of weeks but as usual, had to go through paperwork before coming home. the yard and the house will be completely decorated from one end to the other with flags, balloons and even a 25 foot wide, 10 foot tall banner saying "Our Army Ranger is home, we love you, Ben!!" Needless to say I can't wait! The last time he flew in, the security guard let me cross "that" line and greet him as he stepped off the escalator. I think he thought I was going to croak if he didn't let me. Hopefully that same guard will be working this Saturday. Well, I better run but as always know you are continually being lifted up to our Heavenly Father and I praise Him for all He is doing in and through your precious family. In Christ, Piper Ham

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.

I will be praying very hard for Jordan's tests and for the doctors to figure out what's going on and find a swift way to rectify this iron deficiency......faith.....waiting is the hardest part in this journey. You certainly have your hands full with the packing and unpacking...don't forget to sit for awhile and let your body rest! Huggggsssss...please keep us posted on Jordan...Blessings,

Hi there - since you are EXTRA busy - even for you - here is the short version for now: Happy New House filled with lots of love, good health & happiness; good wishes for Jordan's testing with easily resolvable solutions; and try to actually pace yourself on the unpacking task - knowing full well the computer will be one of the first prized possessions to get organized in your new home!

Love,

Dear Susan,

I am sure by now "old faithful" is packed up and you won't get this message for a few days. I will be thinking of you and your family and hoping that your move goes smoothly. I am so happy that you will now be "Home Sweet Home".

As for Jordan's anemia, I think this is interesting. Wouldn't it be amazing if when the doctor's get Jordan's iron level all straightened out, his movement disorder gets better. I am so hoping and praying for this.

We are equally blessed with your love and friendship too.

Can't wait to hear from you again.

Love, Susan

Hi Jordan and Susan,
Packing and moving...do you wonder where it all came from? When we first moved in to our home I put some unpacked boxes in to the storage area of the garage. Five years later, I decided that if I hadn't needed them in that time I doubted I would! It sounds like you are on the right track for Jordan's restful night's sleep. This is an area that we struggle with for Carly, also. When you don't have good rest it really affects the rest of your day and when you multiply that times seven it can really make for some difficult days. You are such a blessing when I read your journal entries. You just seem to take it all in stride. I know, you will say, "Only with God's help". I agree, but sometimes I just need to be reminded.
Love & Blessings,
Val

Im so happy that the sleep test is behind you all but so sorry to hear the news! I can only imagine how frustrating that would be! Hang in there! I truly hope and pray that the doctors will be able to figure something out as soon as possible! For now, I am happy for you all that the medication Jordan is taking continues to help a little!

Oh~ The packing woes! I feel for you! We will be moving this summer and I just cringe when I think about packing and unpacking! :) I hope your move goes very smoothly and you are all packed up and unpacked in your new home before you know it! :)

Im so glad to read Jordan is continuing to do well at his job! That is wonderful!

Hi guys,

Life is not stopping around here for us either. But I always think staying busy is better than the alternative.

Thanks for sharing the inspirational life of Grams and please pass our condolences on to Kristin. Now we know where she must get her radiant personality.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. What a week. Reese is so confused. I think she is going to think everyday is her birthday. She is also having a hard time believing me that she is three. She keeps insisting shes two.....after all that is what I taught her all last year.

Hope all packing goes well. Thinking of you often

My Dear Susan and Jordan,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of grams...what a beautiful lady she was, I love the picture of her and Jordan. I am sure she will be watching over Jordan from heaven now. Perhaps she can whisper in Jesus' ear and get some guidance for Jordans doctors...
I know you have to be so frustrated right now Susan. Hold on to that beautiful faith of yours and just trust that everything going on in there is AOK. Easier said then done, I know. But Jordan looks wonderful, is doing great at work, is sleeping better with the medicine. And thats a big AMEN :) You are always in my thoughts and prayers honey. Its going to be okay! You teach us that with every post....
You are definitely a pebble that sends MANY ripples out into this world. And we love you for it. So happy you will be getting into your new home! And we'll try to keep you sane through the moving :)

I pray this each day for all mankind.

One thing I've learned for sure is it is as simple as loving.

God just wants US to LOVE ONE ANOTHER................

Please give a Big hug to Kristin I'm so Blessed to read that

The Lord gently called her Grams HOME!

Great picture of Jordan and Grams........Love abides all

My dear, sweet Susan and Jordan,

YOU send out MANY ripples of your own! How delighted to get an update; but, I have to say YIKES at all that continues to go on. Moving, what a time for new beginnings (and sore backs)!

I am Thankful the medication is improving the sleep; however, I am so sorry it isn't the complete answer. The unknown and lack of information can be so truly frustrating. David's neurologist told us Tuesday, "Judy, you are a nurse, you know medicine isn't an exact science. We often don't know or can't find all of the answers." I say Praise God, because HE CAN!

So delighted to hear Jordan is continuing to do so well at Walmart. I know they are delighted to have him still.

May you all feel peace at the beautiful life Gram had on this earth. I know she is bringing much happiness to heaven and that she left you all with beautiful memories!

Praying for all of the upcoming appointments and the scan and that the tumor is gone, even as I type this. God is so truly awesome! Also continuing to pray for all of your special friends and there many needs. I agree Tonya is full of Grace, Praise His name!

Have a beautiful weekend as you busily do the last minute move activities. Take time to be still in the Lord, as I KNOW you always do! Thank you for the beautiful peaceful feelings I always receive when I read your eloquent words, they are like a hug to me!

Love and Blessings,

Yes, she was as special and precious as they get! I know she just loved Jordan, too. We will all miss her so much, but we will see her again one day, and NOTHING will steal our joy. We will be in paradise for eternity with our Creator, and Grams will be cooking our heavenly meals. =)

I am very excited about the act of sale...God is good.

Dear Susan and Jordan,

First, I am holding my breath that THIS entry actually gets into the GB! I have had such a time signing these past few weeks and have actually tried to leave three different messages since you last visited Lisa!

Your devotional was so inspiring and uplifting as usual and I am so Blessed to know you and be allowed to be encouraged by your strength and words. I had to just smile and again ask God to Bless Sweet Jordan as I read about the implant. Those are definitely the odds we see on all medical issues, etc....I would love to see us have the same odds if we played the lottery! I know God will take care of this as well; however, the journey to get there will not be easy or inexpensive. I know you gladly fight everyday, just to have precious Jordan with you; but, I KNOW you would gladly take a little less special sometimes!

Praying for good things to have come from the latest sleep study and for the meds to continue being pleasing to Jordan's body so that he might have some peace and rest.

Thank you for always being such a source of comfort and encouragement for so many of us!

Love and Blessings,
Judy and Lisa

Dear Jordan and Susan, Hello precious ones. I can't believe your tooth popped out...I'm glad you didn't swallow it. I loved your comment about Jordan being so special...that's actually Biblical. The Lord says in 1 Peter 2:9, "But ye are a chosen generation, an holy nation, a PECULIAR people: that ye should show forth the praises of Him Who has called you out of darkness and into His marvelous light". So see, you're totally Biblical! I want to share something that happened at our children's church. A friend of mine was bringing her niece for a few weeks to church and knew the little girl was really enjoying it. She had no idea what was about to take place. The little girl wore glasses......no big deal, a lot of people wear glasses. The teacher ws simply sharing about all the miracles Jesus had performed while He was on earth. The Word kept coming forth and evidently the little girl opened her heart to ALL of them and the seed fell on good soil (in her heart)about to bring forth a good crop. After prayer one Sunday, the little girl told her mother she didn't need her glasses anymore of which her mother replied, "Yes, you do, so you can see clearly." The girl insisted she could now see CLEARLY. The mother made a wise choice and took her daughter to the eye doctor only to be astounded at the fact that her litlte girl NOW had slightly BETTER than 20/20 vision. Oh, the faith of a child! I am now aiming to have child-like faith, I am determined more than ever to sit at the Master's feet, feed on His Word (which is how faith comes)and receive the faith that He promises will come. He even said we would do greater things than He did when He went to go to the Father. I'm not there yet, but I am on a journey! I want the Lord to replace whatever needs replacing. My goodness, if HE restored the withered arm and raised the dead, there is NOTHING too hard for Him. I will continue to lift Jordan up daily to Jesus...it will be my privilege. Oh, Ben called and said he would be able to come home Feb.2...I can hardly wait. I am so grateful for his safe return home. Continue to stand on His Word, In Christ, Piper Ham

Dear Susan,

"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, for what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal" This just gives me goosebumps and so much hope. I must tell you Susan that my "focus" on Jesus has always been there, but has tremendously grown thanks to you my friend. Your devotionals truly strengthen me.

So sorry about the darn tooth. I do not like statistics. I hope so much that Jordan continues to sleep and his sleep study will be soon.

I spent a lot of time reading about Habitat for Hope today. What an amazing family, what special work they do for sick children and their families. Continuing to pray for Tonya and her family.

Goodnight from a very rainy, dreary New Jersey.

The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

Dear Susan and Jordan, Hi precious friends..how are you doing? I know you have been so busy ministering to the Nasons. I'm sure that you are on the top of her "thank God list". That picture of Jordan and Brent is priceless. Don't you sometimes just wander what it will really be like when we all get there...I mean, what a day of REJOIDING that will be. It will take hundreds of years to talk with the old saints and the new ones. I just wanted you to know that I am still interceding for Jordan and will do so until I see victory (or as my pastor says..until I see the white in his eyes). I also wanted to share some great news...I received a phone call last night and when I glanced at the caller id, it was my son't mobile phone...which was suppose to be locked up while he is deployed. then I heard the sound that made my heart skip a beat..it was my Benjamin...he had landed just an hour ago back in the good old USA. Praise God he is home. He is in Washington and has to do a lot of paperwork but it looks like he'll get to come home in February. I can't thank God enough for bringing him home safe. I realize freedom is NEVER FREE...it cost somebody something and our Precious Savior, Jesus Christ, has paid the ULTIMATE price on Calvary to ensure our salvation and our healing. That is the greatest gift of all! Continue to stay wrapped up in His Word, In Christ, Piper Ham

Hello from a winter wonderland! I haven't seen this much snow in years! And snow and Seattle hills don't mix! Am assuming the city will be shut down tomorrow...I love Seattle!
Praying right now for you!
Rom.8:16-18: The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

What an incredible young man. I hope Jordan continues to do o.k. I know this has to be hard on him. You guys are in our thoughts and prayers.

Hello sweet folks ... this is Trish here, Angel Emma Grace's Momma. Just wanted to send you a note to say what a blessing you are not only to the Nason's but to us as well. What a beautiful tribute to sweet Mr. Angel Brent. I can tell everytime Tonya speaks of you there is an unspoken bond that only God gives. I know Tonya and Link are so thankful that God has placed you in their lives and what a relief when you arrived for Brent's Life Celebration service. We are just a WEEEEEEE bit attached to the Nason's and are so thankful as well that God placed them in our life. I don't know that I'll ever understand the reason why we came together but know what a blessing I would have missed not getting to become 'family' with Sweet Brent and his precious family. Thank you again and know that our prayers continue for you all. Again, thanks for being such a blessing!

Hello to you both. I just wanted to stop by and say gave a Happy, Healthy, Blessed New Year.

I am sorry to read about your friend. Danny also just said goodbye to a dear friend. Its so hard for them. For us too, but we do know that they are in a better place, free from pain and that one day we will meet them again. I tell Danny just to hold the wonderful memories he has in his heart. And to pray for the family.

Anyway, I haven't had an opportunity to say hello and I did want to stop by and read up on Jordan. Keep well...

Susan,
I thought it was so wonderful when I read on Brent's guestbook that you went to be there with Tonya and Link. Your tribute on your page is beautiful also, and I was just thinking about you being in the process of moving again. I admire you for being so able to do so many things for others and the way you share God's love is a reflection of our wonderful Lord. I know that I find things about God's written word (the Bible) hard to understand sometimes but I also know that His spirit working in individuals like you is a clear picture of beautiful love. Hello to Jordan and the rest of your sweet family.

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.

learning of Brent's home coming was so bitter sweet.

I just can't imagine...........I just can't.....

I rejoice in knowing Brent is completely healed and HOME in the loving arms of Jesus.

Please know that I will be lifting you up in prayer also along with Tonya.

I share a heavy heart with you and I'm Blessed by the faith, hope and Love that surrounds

us all in Our CB circle.

MRS. SUSAN,
I DONT' KNOW YOU BUT I DECIDED TO VISIT YOUR SITE BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN SUCH A ROCK FOR TONYA, LINK AND FAMILY. I READ YOUR ENTRY TONIGHT ABOUT THIER HOMETOWN AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT YOUR SO RIGHT. IT'S A WONDERFUL COMMUNITY. I'M FROM THE NEIGHBORING TOWN OF MABEN, MS ONLY 2 MI. FROM MATHISTON. WE KNOW MR. SAMMIE NASON WELL! JUST FROM READING TONYA'S UPDATES DAILY I CAN TELL YOU ARE A VERY DEAR PERSON IN HER LIFE. I'M SO THANKFUL THAT GOD PLACED YOU TWO FAMILIES TOGETHER AT ST. JUDE AND NOW FOREVER. I LIVE IN AL. NOW BUT THOSE COMMUNITIES ARE SO WONDERFUL AND CARING AND THE SAD THING IS THAT THESE THINGS ABOUT OUR PRECIOUS LITTLE TOWNS DONT' EVER MAKE THE NEWS. ONLY THE BAD. I WISH THE WHOLE WORLD WAS FILLED WITH PEOPLE LIKE THOSE IN MABEN/MATHISON. IT'S A GREAT PLACE. I GREW UP THERE AND MY DEAREST FAMILY AND FRIENDS ARE THERE. MY HEART WILL ALWAYS BE THERE. I'M SO GLAD THAT YOU EXPERIENCED THE LOVE IN OUR TOWNS. MAY GOD BLESS YOU RICHLY FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE. YOU TRULY HAVE A HEART OF GOLD. I WILL PRAY FOR YOUR FAMILY NOW AS I DO THE NASONS.

Susan,

I have never signed your guestbook before, but have linked over many times to check on Jordan because of the loving messages you have written in other guestbooks.

I wanted to thank you for posting on Brent's Celebration of Life. Of course I've been hanging on every word of Tonya's for a while and wanted to know how things went and knew it wouldn't appear on their page for some time.

I know what you mean about a community like hers as I live in Monroe, LA with the Jake Raborn believers. How these precious little hearts serve such mighty purpose in God's army amazes me.

I never met Brent, but loved him deeply. I have a best friend a little younger than Brent and I can't imagine going through what Tonya (and you) have gone through in the battle.

Thank you for being an awesome friend to Tonya. I will continue to keep Jordan in my prayers as well.

Monroe, LA - Saturday, January 6, 2007 4:44 PM CST

Am so glad you could be there for Tonya and her family. But then how could you not?! The Lord has given you two such a special bond. And now as Tonya starts this new journey, what a blessing that she'll always have you there by her side!
I just wanted to take a minute today to thank you for sharing your family and all you're going through with everyone. I know that some have gone through added trials because of it (having to deal with spammers and those who feel the need to pick apart everything that the family is doing, etc). But being able to read the updates, to pray for your family, has given me an insight on life that I wouldn't have otherwise. It is through you and the others who continue to share that I have learned and am learning to the extent that anyone can who's not in your situation, to truly number my days. And what a blessing to be among those who are praying for you!
Ps 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

How true!
Yes, Mrs. Susan, Brent was truly a special child of God. All children are special, but there was something so unique and different about Brent (and his amazing family). I can't wait to meet Brent "face to face" one day. Until then, his family will be in my prayers, and I know that Jesus will hold them in His loving arms, just as He is holding Brent at this very moment. What an amazing thought!
Love you!

Hi Jordan:

My name is Dianna. I have been visiting your site for a while, since just before the hurricane, actually. My husband, Jean, four-year old daughter, Sofia, and I lived in Metairie, but had to move for a year to Georgia because Jean�s firm was on Canal Blvd. Jean recently got a job with a firm in Lafayette, and our prayers have been answered and we have returned to Louisiana.

I have gained so much strength by coming to see your smiling face and reading your mom�s journal entries. It has given me great delight to read about how you make friends everywhere and never meet a stranger. What a great guy you are! Though seeing your sweet mom and witnessing what a great friend she is, it�s not so difficult to know where you get your dashing personality from.

I came here today to tell you how very sorry I am for you that your buddy, Brent passed away. You were such a great, great friend to him. I too read the message that you wrote to Ms. Tonya in Brent�s guestbook, and it was really, really sweet. I know that it will really mean a whole lot to her.

My family prays and will keep praying for you and your whole family daily.

Talk to you soon, okay!
Hugs!

P.S. Please tell your brother and cousin that we thank them with all of our hearts for protecting our family and our country.

I am sorry that I waited so long to sign Jordan's guestbook. I've been visiting here and Brent's site for some time. I've wanted to sign so many times to tell you, among many other things, thanks for being such an inspiration and for sharing your family with us. Our family prays for Jordan and your family daily.

I knew that I could no longer put off signing Jordan's guestbook because I just had to tell you today, as others have, how blessed I am to be a witness to the beautiful friendship between you and Tonya. Thank you for being such a testimony as you support Tonya and her family with love of our most Awesome Jesus Christ. For "just as each of us have one body with many members, so we who are in Christ form one body, and each member belongs to all the others," and therefore, as you show love to Tonya, so you are showing love to us all.

I am also brokenhearted for the Nasons. It was so very easy to see why you and Tonya bonded so quickly. She is a true daughter of the Lord. Her faith just shines for Jesus.

The first day of a new year. Only the Lord knows what it will bring but what comfort to know that we're under the "shadow of the Almighty."
Ps.91:1-2: He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

Dear Susan,

Merry Christmas Amato family and a very happy, healthy New Year. I've missed you and especially reading all your words of encouragement. The poem at the end of your update is filled with faith and hope. I have printed it off and will read it every day.

Sounds like the new year is off to a good start. How awesome that this new medicine is helping Jordan. Good luck moving into your new home. How excited you must be.

Thank you for continuing to be there for me my friend. I am so very lucky...

With Love & Hope, Susan

Happy New Year, Amato Family!!
Dear Susan, I am so very glad that you may have found a medical solution for Jordan's sleep issues...that is a serious answer to prayer. The old "I haven't treated someone like this before" is never fun to hear...but still the doc figured out what to do! woohoo!!

hope the new year is VERY restful for all!! Good luck with the move!

Dear Jordan and Susan, I'm thrilled about the new medicine that is helping you. I continue to praise God for giving the doctors wisdom (whether they realize it or not)to help you. I'm already a little behind in this new year...I was planning to hunt down some verses concerning this new year and put them in a prayer form when I received a call late last night about 4 week old baby being rushed to a children's hospital in Atlanta. I just got back home from going to visit him and pray for him. Please add him to your prayer list. His name is Karson and he is so beautiful (even if he is a boy). After noticing a change in his feedings, the parents took him in and the doctors discovered tumors in his liver, spleen and I think they said in his spine. You certainly couldn't tell it....like I said, he was beautiful. His parents know Christ as their Savior so after sharing with them, I laid hands on him and thanked the Lord for His Covenant which provides divine healing. We spoke the Word over him and commanded those tumors to die at the root and asked the Holy Spirit to engulf him and his family. You sure could feel the presence of the Lord. Before I left, a nurse came in and I think their next step, medically speaking, is to biopsy the tumors. I'm believing God that they WON'T FIND ANY! The parents, needless to say, have had a rough couple of days. I know that is nothing compared to the mountains you have faced...that's why I'm asking for your prayers. Who better would know how and what to pray for concerning this little precious life. Join with me in agreement for the Word to go forth and fall on "good " ground in their hearts and for them to see Jesus as their healer. When I finish getting all the promises for this new year, I'll write back and share them with you. I ALWAYS come away from reading your notes uplifted and energized and more empowered to do my Father's will. May you have a blessed new year with new adventures as you walk hand in hand with the Master. In Christ, Piper Ham

Dear Susan and Jordan,

For me to visit your website is always a pleasure as you share your beautiful walk with the Lord with us all! I hope you don't mind, I included in a New Year's email to some friends the passages that nothing shocks God and gave credit here, it is such truth that should be spoken and heard by all!

I am so excited that there appears to be improvement with the medication and I am praying that this continues for Jordan and that his body might FINALLY receive the rest he needs and deserves and for more peaceful MRI's and test as a result!

My prayer for you is that things are a tiny bit boring (that can be a good thing, lol) and that your family is blanketed in good health in 2007! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO TWO OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE! Praying for God's Blessings always! My life has been completely enriched by your inner beauty and care for so many!

Love and Blessings,

I'd just typed you a nice long message and my computer froze up, then sent me an error report saying that internet explorer needed to close. Needless to say I lost EVERYTHING I'd just typed! I had also gone more than halfway through Brent's update when I came and started signing your guestbook. I lost the update too! (That'd be my ADHD kicking in ..... my mind bounces around like that ...... LOL!)

I'll check in with you tomorrow, I'm sorry but I just don't have the energy to retype everything I'd just typed. I really just wanted to check in to let you know what a BLESSING you've been to us and how you ALWAYS blow me away with your updates and FAITH! You have the most AMAZING gift of sharing our Lord, 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. Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands.�

Dear Susan and Jordan, It's Christmas Eve night and all my children and grandbabies have gone home (not very far, Praise God, they lives within 20 minutes of home). In the middle of our Jesus celebration, the Lord sent me the most precious gift of all...a phone call from my Benjamin...I was in shock. Oh, how his voice sounded....music to my ears. Although he sent me an incredible gift (it's amazing to me that in the middle of what he is doing, he thought to order something through the internet from New York and have it sent here. I also am not believing what the gift was...I'm probably going to spell it wrong because I have never known anyone that has one...it's a Louis Vitton (sp?) pocketbook. I opened it while talking on the phone with him and my daughters were video taping it (they evidently already knew about it)Of course I became so emotional but especially when I found out how much it cost. I asked him "Why did you spend so much money...you hardly make anything?" (at this point, my oldest daughter motioned for me to just tell him how much I appreciate it). Of course, I do...but he really doesn't make very much. He answered, ever so softly, "because, mom, I love you very much and I wanted to give you something very nice." Well, needless to say, that was the icing on the cake! Well, mercy, I didn't mean to start rambling, just thought I'd share how good Jesus was to me today. I continue to pray for Brent and his family...as I've been interceding, some very different scriptures have been coming to mind. I cannot imagine being in Tonya's shoes...but like you said, she has Jesus and I continue to pray His presence to be so overwhelming she would actually feel His arms around her. I also continue to lift up my precious Jordan (my grandson, Noah, thinks I actually know him). Please let me know what the doctors say so I will know just how to pray. We serve an awesome God and I know He has His hand on Jordan. Have a blessed and merry Christmas resting in His care, enjoying all your family. P.S. Congratulations on the free tickets..God is good! In Christ, Piper Ham

He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

Merry Christmas Amato Family,
I left a message yesterday I believe, but I think I didn't save it! So, I wanted to make sure that you knew I was checking in on Jordan and the rest of the family. Susan, I love the family postcard. How special and very beautiful. God is good! Thank you, my friend, for being such a constant prayer warrior for Carly and so many of our other CB families. You are such a blessing. I am so proud of Jordan and his job, I can only imagine the smiles he puts on co-workers and customer's faces. Have a wonderful safe Christmas as we celebrate God's greatest gift, the birth of his son, Jesus.
Love & Blessings,
Val & Carly

Dear Susan and Jordan, I just had to drop by before starting this day with my over 1,ooo errands to do (which should have already been done). As usual, I pulled up your pictures because I like to see who I'm praying for (I'm sure it sounds corny but I like to lay my hands on the pictures but Jesus always touched those He prayed for). I continue to thank our Father for His work in Jordan's life and for wisdom and direction for the doctors concerning his movement during sleep...Jesus promises to give sweet sleep to Jordan. I remember the time Jesus cursed the fig tree, but it wasn't apparent until later because the tree began dying at the root. Whatever is causing this HAS TO STOP! Continue to rest in the palsm of His Hands. In Christ, Piper Ham

I am praying for the sleep study this week and for Jordan's job to continue to go well in the midst of this hectic season. You are SO RIGHT we need to keep our focus on Jesus, as we continue our Christmas preparations and keep our children close if we are fortunate to have them with us!

Praying for Brent and for all that are hurting.

Praying for Christmas miracles and Blessings to continue to shower you, You all certainly deserve them! Than you for sharing Jesus' love with us!

Yeah, what Carol said about the whole sleeping thing...but my granddaughter was here much later than usual so got a really late start, but just have to check on everyone!
Am here praying so for you right now!
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.

My heart is just aching after reading about Brent! I am continuing to pray for this precious family! Praying for COMPLETE earthly healing!

I am glad to read Jordan is doing well and work and enjoying himself! I can totally picture him with a great big smile at work........ He is such an young man!

I am not sure if Jordan has seen the sleep specialist yet for his movement disorder but if so, I truly hope the specialist was able to give you all some insight and a solution!

Take care my dear friends!

Susan~ Thank you for teaching me how to add color! :)

flowed from the cross brings eternal peace, and the green symbolizes eternal life

Hey Susan and Jordan! We just wanted to check in and see how you all were. I don't get to check on people alot because I stay sooo busy with Collin and Catie and work. I am sorry that it takes me so long to write. Its great that Jordan likes his job. We all miss him so much. Collin and I baked a cake just the other day in the train cake pan you guys gave us. Collin asked where we got it from and when I told him he said "Mommy, where is Jordie at?" Anyway, have a blessed Christmas. We hope to see you all soon, Michelle, john, Collin, Catie

I'm also praying for some answers for Jordan's movement issues. I'm so thankful his job is going well, I'll bet he's staying busy!

Dear Susan and Jordan, I'm excited that your Wal-mart job is going well. It's nothing short of a miracle that he is able to go there with a smile on his face during this holiday season. I've been there about 4 times in these last few days and I didn't encounter any employee with a smile (it must be hard on them dealing with some rude customers). I am continuing to stand with you concerning Jordan's sleep problem. I thank God every day that according to His Word, He will give sweet sleep to His beloved (Jordan) and his sweep shall be sweet (I especially like that one) I've also asked the Lord to confirm His promises to him durin his sleep and for the Holy Spirit to bring back to Jordan's memory all of the promises Jesus has made to him. I still love the story of Samuel...to be so young and have the Lord call out to him in his sleep. God is NO respecter of persons so what he did for Samuel, He'll do for Jordan. I also continue to stand with you over precious Brent's situation. YOu are a precious dear sister to Tonya and I'm sure she feels all that love towards her. Isn't it neat how the Lord binds us altogether through the common band of prayer...or should I say uncommon. May you have a blessed week as you prepare for Christmas..our blessed Savior's birthday. In Christ, Piper Ham

Good Morning Susan,

Just checking in this morning to say hello and let you know that I am thinking of all of you. The photo collage is perfect! What a beautiful family. Please know that I keep Brent and his family in my thoughts and prayers. I visit his site often, but am so at a loss as to what to say.

I wish you and your family a most love-filled Christmas together. I am sure this day must be joyous in your family.

Will be thinking of you and Jordan while we are away.

Take care my friend.

Have a truly awesome weekend and praying Walmart is being good to Jordan. I haven't ventured in to shop in weeks at our local Walmart because of the season, I can't imagine working during this busy time there. Praying the "crud" by-passes you all!

I really love Max Lucado. I went to a church school that forced us through some horribly long, boring devotionals. Max Lucado may very well be responsible for why my Bible teacher is still breathing and in one complete body, and why I have not been imprisoned for hurting that man. I have read and re read his books so many times. Love them.

Anyway... I just wanted to check in and let you know that I am praying for you guys. I am praying that Jordan is doing very well and that the new grand baby is doing equally as well! What a blessing during the holiday season!!!!
I hope these next days leading up to Christmas go smoothly and that you have a very Merry Christmas with your family!!!!

Catching up on my dear friends who are so Faithful to check on us and pray while we were sick with the stomach virus. Still weak; however, I wanted to say hello. Praying desperately NONE of you get it, it was horrible. Praise God, my parents got Lisa out of here before she got it and had to go to the hospital. Her angels have been with her and I KNOW yours are with you.

I absolutely adore the photos, your family is gorgeous! Of course, they have a BEAUTIFUL matriarch, both inside and out. You are ALWAYS thinking of others and I am just in awe of what St. Jude's does for families. Habitat for hope is incredible as well and I pray they raise LOTS of money to continue with their mission!

Dear Jordan

It was so nice to see you at the St. Louis King of France fair with your wonderful aunt Mary Grace. We are all truly blessed to have the oppurtunity every once in a while to take time out of the hustle and bustle of our lives and spend time with our families and friends; I hope you had a fun day (and won alot of money from the cherry bells :). I recently saw your picture and story in The Ronald McDonald House Christmas donation pamphlet and was wondering how you are handling your new celebrity status!! What a wonderful gift you are giving, sharing your message and inspiring volunteers and donators to contribute their time and money to the needy families at The Ronald McDonald house. Thousands of people will read your story and give generously to that special place, helping it bring joy and comfort to families during the holiday season. You are using your inspirational story to spread the awareness of The Ronald McDonald House's need for money and volunteers and helping to put a smile on the face of a child who otherwise woul not be smiling during this happy season. Surely that is the greatest Christmas gift you can give. I hope you and your family have a happy and holy Christmas filled with cheer and wonderful memories.

Yours in Christ

Susan,

What a wonderful family you have. You are truly blessed. We will be keeping Jordan in our prayers, not only for his upcoming appointment on the 19th but from now on.
I think it�s great that Jordan is able to work a few hours a day, it�s good for him. I would love James to be able to go back to work. He was working at home a few hours a day but his job kept adding to the load. When he was unable to work through treatment week it was too much for him to deal with when he cam back. James is an over achiever and doing something half way is not an option for him. I know he would like to go back but right now it�s not an option for him. Take care and have a great holiday. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

I tried to say all your children's names fast and was a total failure. I will have to work on my "J's". I continue to marvel at your faithfulness and love for others fighting this awful camcer world. I'm quite sure that every night Tonya (and I'm sure plenty of other families)lays her tired head down on a pillow, she falls asleep thanking God for bringing you into her life. Isn't it amazing how the love for our Savior can knit us altogether in the spirit realm. Not too long ago, my niece and I went to visit the doctor who said that she would never live a fruitful life much less live at all, and he was amazed. Being jewish and not believing that Jesus was in fact the Messiah, he had no answer for her healing other than the word "miraculous". We planted seeds of the gospel and are praying for the harvest of his soul. I can only imagine how the doctors really feel when they deal with death on a day to day basis...especially in the lives of children. I still continue to lift Jordan to our Father thanking Him for total victory in every aspect of his precious life. May you continue to have a blessed time during these holidays and enjoy your family...especially the little newest blessing. Oh, I was blessed with a surprise phone call from my son after going 12 days without any word. Truly the Lord is good to me. In Christ, Piper Ham

LOVE all the new pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you see the Larry King Live with Marlo Thomas? I love that show. And I've been praying for Pete, the "poster child" for a while now. He's such a cutie! I see him all over the internet now in the ads.
Know that I'm continuing to lift you up in prayer!!!!!!!!
Is.43:1-3a: But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel...

Wow, I just have to say that I was so moved by reading Jordan's story and catching up in his journal. The song "How Great is OUR God" is one of my very favorites. I was so blessed and I am so grateful for your words of wisdom and hope. My daughter Annaleigh is in the hospital right now and as I sit here in her room, your words really ministered to my heart. I will be praying for you and your family. Hoping you have a Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year. God Bless you, Amato Family!!!!

Thanks for everything for the baby and me! I am so enjoying my lotions, candle, bubble bath, etc. I actually feel like I am pampering myself-for about 2 minutes until Kayla is banging on the bathroom door! haha
Well, another little girl to spoil and love. God sure is pouring out his blessings on our family.
Love you guys!

We read this psalm at church this morning and it made me think of all "my" CB families...wanted to come home and share it with you!
Ps 40:1-4a: 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...

Dear Susan and Jordan,

CONGRATULATIONS Grammy and Uncle! How precious and beautiful Karli is; however, Mom and Dad are beautiful as well, so how could she not be. Susan, I hope I look that good when I have grandchildren! I know the entire family is loving the newest addition, even big sister Kayley. She is a living doll and Dad is going to have his hands full with two beautiful daughters!

Susan, with all you have on your plate you never fail to keep us in prayer and for that we are so thankful! You give the best testimony and Praise reports and it is always a joy to visit Jordan's page. I actually saw the entry about Karli a few days ago; however, today was the first chance I have had to stop and say hello. So delighted to hear about Nikki and Brent.

The Christmas program sounds so uplifting and joyful. These are the reasons to slow down and enjoy the fruit of the season to rejoice in Him and why we celebrate. Thanks for sharing the story with us all.

Jordan, praying work is still going well and you aren't too tired with all of the extra work more customers must bring.

Praying for you all always and enjoy lots of cuddle time with that newest, precious addition!

Thank you for always being there for us!

Love and Blessings,

Dear Susan and Jordan, Greetings my precious friends! I just had to share some news with you. Yesterday my two daughters came by and asked me to go look at my Christmas tree. I told them that was an odd request since I'm the one who decorated it. They insisted I take a closer look at the ornaments. I first thought that there was a ring box or something tied on one of the limbs to get my curiousity going. Boy, was I in for a shock. My middle daughter has 4 kids ranging from 2 to 7 and my oldest has 2.....one 4 and one 2. I noticed a new ornament with my oldest daughter's name and family engraved at the bottom...but then there was another line which read...and another one is on the way. I am going to have 7 grandchildren. After I had my Holy Ghost fit (which my family always wants to video so they can send it in to America's Funniest Videos) I realized I would have to add another charm to my necklace. I have this gorgeous necklace with an individual locket for each child. If they keep this up, I will soon look like Mr. T! Well, I've got to run just wanted to share that new with you and remind you that I'm still interceding and believing God for His Word to come to pass in Jordan's life. Continue to stay in His Word. In Christ, Piper Ham

Yes, I would like a prayer request to go out on Jordan's site for Brayden to have a complete earthly body healing if it is God's will. If it is not God's Will, I pray for direction and guidance during the upcoming months. I pray for God's perfect plan to B revealed to me.

What absolutely beautiful baby girls. That Karli is precious and her big sister, Kayla is so darling. She looks like her daddy. What a wonderful way to begin the Christmas season.

How is handsome Jordan doing with his job? I bet it is BUSY at Wal Mart now!!!

We are about finished with getting the gifts bought; now I just have to WRAP most of them. Our decorations are mostly finished up since we will celebrate with our sons and their families on the 16th.

Praying every day for sweet Jordan and his health/sleep issues as well as strength and endurance for his job.

Hoping for special sweet times tucked into the hustle and bustle of Christmas, when you have a heart moment, as the awesome reality comes to mind concerning what happened for all men when Jesus was born. After all, the angels came out of Heaven and sang in the night sky. Because of that night, every human being has been offered the gift of eternal life with God, if only he will open the door of his heart and BELIEVE on the name of the SON of GOD! That is basically the GOSPEL of Christmas. I am so glad I have opened my present from God many years ago, aren't you? Love ya, Susan.

Congratulations on your new baby granddaughter Karli. I can't believe you have five sons and now three granddaughters. Okay, I hope I don't embarass you, but you are one beautiful grandmother. How very lucky these little girls are to have you in their life to love them and guide them.

I hope Jordan is enjoying his job at Wal-Mart. He must be completely exhausted with the busy Christmas shopping season.

Take care my wonderful friend. Sending you lots of love and hugs tonight.

First off I have to comment on What a Beautiful Baby! Congrats!!!!! What a joy to have such a beautiful bundle of joy for the holidays. I'm glad to read you guys are doing great. Brock is recovering really well from his open heart surgery. It has been four weeks. We can't wait to get back down to New Orleans to visit our family. Brock's not allowed to travel yet. Hopefully, in January I can get down there to see my dad and brothers and my grandmother.

Dear Susan and Jordan, First of all, Praise God and congratulations on Karli Madison (I love that name)! I have 2 granddaughters and 4 grandsons....and I tease my kids that I should have had my grandchildren first! They are the love of my life. My mom tried to esplain to me how it felt to hold your children's children but I never understood until I held mine in my arms. What a fantastic feeling! I apologize for going so long without posting a note.....I have definitely NOT stopped praying and interceding for Jordan...we've had some computer malfunctions and just errands that had to be run. I've been looking up promises concerning sleep and I'd like to share them with you. I was reading the amplified version (one of my favorites because it describes in detail every word. In Prov. 3:24, the Word says "When you lie down you shall not be afraid; yes, you shall lie down and your sleep shall be sweet. Psalms 127:2 promises that God Himself will give blessings to His beloved in sleep. There are several that promise that His angels will encamp around those that fear(reverence and worship) the Lord and it is their job to see to it that God's Word DOES NOT RETURN VOID (that is, with out substance). While I was searching about sleep, the Holy Spirit led me to the famous story about Jacob recorded in Genesis chapter 28. I saw something I had never paid a whole lot of attention to until now. The Word says that Jacob took a stone (not a down feathered pillow)and laid his head on it and went to sleep. I'm sure you remember the story...he dreamed about a ladder going from earth to heaven and there were angels coming and going. Then it says "the Lord stood over and beside him confirming His covenant with Jacob's family....and then in verse 15 (now is a good time to get on your dancing shoes)God declares, "behold, I am with you and will keep (watch over you with care, take notice of) you wherever you may go...confirming our covenant and I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU UNTIL I HAVE DONE ALL OF WHICH I HAVE TOLD YOU! God is Faithful and can be trusted. So according to His Word I pray this tonight for sweet Jordan.....Dear Father, thank you for peaceful sleep for Jordan and thank you for angels that encamp around him 24/7. You never slumber or sleep and Jordan's face is ever before You.The angels excel in strength, do Your Word,and heed the voice of Your Word. thank you Father, that even as Jordan sleeps, You counsel him and reveal to him Your purpose and plan. Thank You for sweet sleep, for You have promised Your beloved (Jordan)sweet sleep. Therefore his heart is glad and his spirit rejoices....and Father, if there is any physical problem in his body hindering his sleep, I command the enemy to desist in his plan for Jordan, because he is already defeated. Holy Spirit I ask You to fix anything that needs fixing to enable Jordan to lay down at night and sleep in the Master's arms. In Jesus name....AMEN! I didn't mean to get so long winded but I'm angry at the enemy for trespassing on God's property...he has to stop...he has no choice when he is confronted with the Written Word and the Blood of the Lamb. Still standing with you and blessed to do so. In Christ, Piper Ham

I hope this message finds you all doing well! I am so happy to read that Jordan is doing so well at work and has even considered picking up another day! WOW! :)

I will certainly be praying that Jordan's appt on the 19th goes well! Will this mean another sleep study test? I certainly hope that this appt will prove beneficial in providing a solution!

As always, my prayers are continually with precious Brent and his family! He sure has one fighting spirit!

Susan and Jordan,
I am so sorry that Jordan is still having so many problems sleeping! Jordan has my true sympathy! There are few things worse then not being able to get your rest. I know you both have to be ready put the health issues behind you. I am so glad to hear that the doctor was willing to take Jordan in! That is such a great thing!!! I will pray that he is able to help him on December 19th! I hope that he will be sleeping like a baby by Christmas. Wouldn't that be a gift?!! It makes me sad to think about what your family and so many others have had to go through.
You are a strong family, and such amazing people. I know God is using you to make a difference. You do make a difference.

Please know that your family is in my prayers. Jordan is definitely in my prayers! I will pray for him on December 19th to be able to get to the bottom of this problem and that the doctor is able to FIX IT!

I am truly touched by you and your family. Really. :o)

Susan and Jordan,
Sorry, we haven't signed in a while. I have stopped by several times and read as always your inspiring messages. I am always thankful for them and Jordan's progress. Time seems to have given Jordan a bit of more comfort about his new job and I am glad he is liking it. I know Nathaniel and Jordan have much different diseases but gosh since Nathaniel has been off chemo and all meds (the only thing he now takes is a thyroid med - and he complains about it every morning mostly :(, ) His ability to sleep is a night and day difference. Used to I couldn't move a step without him waking. It was like he never actually slept. He now sleeps to the point where getting him up for school is a task. I am sure they have much different treatments but I will keep Jordan in prayers that he will be able to rest and that you will have some help from the new doctor you are going to see. I think of you often and count all of your family a blessing. Handsome men who serve our county, a shining and handsome warrior who battles on with daily stuggles and yet maintains joy in every way, and you, Susan, always writing something beautiful. May the gifts of Jesus always be near you.

That is a very very handsome picture of Jordan! I guess I learned something today that Jordan has 4 brothers! I thought there was 3 but 4 for a total of 5! Wow you had a houseful.....I'm sure they are all as sweet and wondeful as Jordan. I'm sorry to hear about the sleep study, who knows how long it has been since Jordan has had a good nights sleep. I hope they figure out the underlining problem and they can help Jordan get some much needed rest. Good for Jordan that he is doing so well at work...I'm so excited for him.

When seeking comfort from Scripture I don't think the first place you'd look is Lamentations. But I was reading a section yesterday and it really touched my heart. I pray that it will give you comfort, too! You know I'm praying!!!!!!!
Lam.3:22-26: It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

I delight in visiting your website and the beautiful words you always have to say. Your messages are so uplifting and inspirational.

I can see in Jordan's photo the love in his soul and for life in the expression of his eyes, which are so beautiful.

Your love and care for so may in quite uplifting and such a refreshing respite form the dally grind of others who only care for themselves. Caringbridge IS certainly a blessing to many of us as we share different, but very similar journeys in life.

I am praying also for Jordan and his Periodic Limb Movement Disorders. While it isn't life threatening it is quality of life altering and I am finding that is a challenge with these children as well. I trust the Lord is sending you to the best specialist and he will be able to provide answers to make life better for you all, especially Jordan.

Our lives have been enriched by getting to know you and it is wonderful to hear how well Jordan is doing with his job! Thanks for being such a faithful prayer warrior!

Love and Blessings,

Love the new picture of Jordan! I hope he gets some answers on the 19th, we'll be praying, as always!

By the way, my dream is to attend your Christmas Tea some day... It seems so fabulous! Maybe when life is normal again...

Once again I want to thank you for the constant love and kindness you show our family and so many others. You mean so much to us! You must be an angel on Earth.

HI HANDSOME!!!!
Susan I love the new page design and picture! Full of holiday and Jordan spirit!
I will of course be praying that you get a much deserved answer to Jordans sleep dysfunction. A Christmas gift of refreshing and renewing sleep for Jordan would be so wonderful! So proud of you Jordan for being at Walmart during this season of rush rush hurry hurry! I dont know that I could do that!

Praying for Brent also Susan. Tonya is so inspirational - just like someone else we all know : ) YOU!
I am so very glad she has you in her life. I know its been a blessing to me!

Always holding you in my heart,

The Lord knows exactly what Jordan needs. Sounds like He's working to open doors already, getting you to the dr you need to see!
Am here praying as always. Know that the Lord is always right there to help you!

I know that people throw this verse around all the time without really thinking about what it means. It isn't just some platitude, some collection of meaningless words. It's an amazing promise from your Savior that He's actively working in your life!
Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Dear Susan,

Yeah, a new picture of Jordan! He is so handsome. I sure hope all the compliments don't embarass him.

Well Christmas will be here before you know it. I hope that you have been able to get out to do some Christmas shopping. I still haven't found my St. Jude's paper designed by Jordan.

I admire your love and devotion to Brent and his family. It must be so hard for them so far away from home. They are in my thoughts and prayers as they battle on.

Be back soon.
Love, Susan

Dear Susan and Jordan, Greetings, my precious friends! I love the new picture of Jordan....you can see Jesus all in his sweet smile. I marvel at your continual prayer flow for sweet Brent and his family. I KNOW what a blessing you must be for Tonya. There's a verse that so describes you....whoever chooses to be last, will be first. God will always honor your prayers and love for other believers in the body of Christ. Now, with that being said, how is Jordan doing physically and with his new job? I want to be sure I'm praying for all the right things. I just love finding promises that covers a specific need. The Lord always reminds me that "I have not because I ask not". I have been praying specifically that the Holy Spirit flow through Jordan especially in this holiday season, to all who may not know the real meaning of Christmas. How is your son doing in the army? I was so blessed on Thanksgiving by a surprise phone call from my Benjamin! He called just when all of family was there....they ALL were able to say "hi" to him....even all the grandchildren. God is so good! Well, I've got to run some errands but when you get a chance, please keep me updated on your precious Jordan. In Christ, Piper Ham

Forgot to mention yesterday how much I LOVE the new picture!!!!!!!!!!! Wow, what a handsome young man!
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. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Although I am a big fan of the Holy Spirit inspired words of Max Lucado (I like many of his books, but find that some of his best messages come in his children's books), I am always equally inspired by the thoughts you have to share in your journal. Keep on preachin' and teachin' Ms. Susan.

Standing with you in the gap to uphold Tonya, Link and Brent. Though the valley is low, God is still very much in control up in VT. Satan will get absolutely no glory in all this. In the name of Jesus, the evil one is bound from having any authority in Brent's life. Satan comes to hurt and kill, but Jesus came that we might have life. Total victory comes from our Lord and He will be faithful to our sweet Brent.

Tonya is blessed to call you friend.

Susan~

I love love love the new picture of Jordan! Oh! My Gosh! Jordan! I know I have told you this many times before but you are such a handsome young man!

Susan~ Everything you wrote about caringbridge is so true! It took me a few months before I was willing to share Logan's caringbridge site with strangers. I say strangers because that is what I thought at first and I was a little nervous about having people I didnt know checking in on us and following our story but I quickly learned that caringbridge is not full of strangers!! The truth is Caringbridge is full of the most caring people in the world! People who understand what it's like to have a seriously ill child and people who are more than willing to pray, cheer, and support others! It truly is a bridge as you mentioned! I have now been a caringbridge member for sometime and in that time have come to know some of the most amazing people in the world and as you know, you and your family are among the top of that list!

As always my prayers are with Brent and his family! There is truly power in prayer! Let's all keep those prayers coming!

Hugs and best wishes!

Susan, I dropped by to check on Jordan and am just so in awe at how you are urging us all to lift Brent, Tonya and Link up in prayer. I know that your plate is so full with your own troubles, yet you have such a love for others that you are putting their needs above your own. For this, I know that you will be blessed. I am from the same county that the Nasons are from (though I only met them after Brent got sick) and I know that they truly appreciate all your prayers and your friendship is so very important to them. Thank you for being there for them. I am continuing to pray for Jordan and will continue to lift up the needs of so many others that you mentioned to our precious Lord in prayer. May God Bless.

I need to work on Brent's site, make it all snazzy for Christmas. I'd like to find a lovely Christmas song to add too. I'll have to keep my ears open! :)

I wanted to say THANKS for standing in the gap for Brent and for asking your prayer warriors to join us also. It was really SO VERY SWEET of you all to check in on us. Your love and support NEVER ceases to amaze me!

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.

Susan,
Thanks so much for your sweet entry on Tabor's webpage. I feel so blessed by you and by caringbridge as a whole. I knew that caringbridge would be a wonderful way to keep my family updated on things that were difficult for me to repeat over and over. I had no idea how many truly wonderful people I would meet and come to care about. You are such a great suprise, a true blessing. What you couldn't have known was that for some reason that day was really bad and I was so down. Your entry was so kind and just truly lifted me up. I don't know how you do it all. You are such a strong woman. I have been reading your posts on Brent's site. My heart breaks for all of you, especially for Tonya. I know God knows best... but sometimes it doesn't seem fair. From reading his site, you can tell that Brent is a tough kid! I believe that he can overcome this.

Know that I am keeping both of your families covered in prayer. I hope Jordan's job is still going well and that you guys got to spend a safe and happy Thanksgiving together with family. Jordan seems like such a wonderful young man. You should be very proud.

Thank you again, Susan.
I am so glad to have met you!

Hello, Susan and Jordan. I am up early this morning, so I am praying for Jordan today. I hope his job is coming along well, and that he feels good. How was your Thanksgiving? We had twenty folks and three dogs at my house. It was loud and fun and great.

Praying for you all as the holidays get us all in the fast lane.

Please pray for my father and his heart problems. We will get more test info this week.

Our prayers are with you and we are lifting Brent and ALL that love him (including you!), giving all the worry and cares over to God. It IS the season of miracles and God CAN do this!

Jordan, praying you are doing well, I wondered if you were working on "Black Friday" and sent up extra prayers to heaven for your peace and safety (The shoppers can get a bit rowdy)...

You all have become so dear to me and I LOVE to read of your wonderful family and the complete Faith you have in our Heavenly Father!

This section of Scripture is longer today but wanted to keep the complete thought of the text. This is my prayer for you:
Eph.3:14-19: 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.

May the Lord be with you on this day of Thanksgiving!
Hab.3:17-19: Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

I thank GOD everyday for touching me. I like the songs that you play on your website, they are what I listen to. I also like southern gospel, The Crabb Family. They sing a song called Through the Fire, and it is my testimony song. Me and my mom like to sing it in church. Well, I gotta go, but I hope you will visit my website sometime. www.ourhannah.org

Dear Susan and Jordan, I loved your e-mail about hte Lord's return. Believe it or not, my nephew had just sesnt that same one a couple of weeks ago....boy, tht one ought to make people re-think where they stand with the Lord! I want to wish you the happiest of Thanksgiving Days ever. I was blessed yesterday with a surprise phone call from my little soldier. Words cannot describe how thankful I am to have been able to hear that voice say "I love you, mom". I continue to pray for precious Jordan and for your son that is serving our great country also. I found a card I want to send specifically to Jordan....I don't know if I send it to this e-mail or does he have a separate one? The Lord is using his life in ways I don't know if he will ever fully comprehend on this side of heaven. Anyway, have a very blessed Thanksgiving enjoying the presence of our Father with all of your family.

Your journal entries are always so beautiful! I know I tell you this all the time, but I just love the way you write and always enjoy stopping by Jordan's site! We cherish you and your family so much and are so blessed and thankful to have your friendship! You are a doll! :)

I am so glad to read Jordan's job is going well and wow, I cannot believe his boss is a cancer survivor too! There is definitely something going on there more than just coincidence. :)

Keeping your family in my prayers as well as Brent Nason's family! I am terribly sorry to hear about his set backs. Brent's mother sounds amazing and it seems that her faith is certainly unshaken.

Have a WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING!

Take care and best wishes always!

Susan,
It was such a strange feeling to open Tabor's guestbook and see that you had signed it. I have been reading and praying for Jordan for a such a long time. Please know how much it meant to me that a family going through so much was willing to take the time to stop by and say a prayer for my sweet little boy. Thank you. Susan, you and Tonya both are truly an inspiration to me. I look to you with so much respect and admiration. I find strength in reading your journal entries. Your love for God and the faith that you place in Him really impress me. There is a difference in preaching it and living it... and you and Tonya obviously get that.
Jordan is a lucky young man to have such a strong family base. It is clear from your journal how much you love him. It meant so much to me that with what you have been through that you still found the time to reach out to us. I was really having a bad day and it just really lifted me up. Thank you.
Also, I do hope you realize how many people you reach with your journal. It really serves two purposes. 1.) It allows you to inform your family and friends and call them to pray for Jordan and stay connected. 2.) It also really puts your faith and your struggles and the way you handle them out there and allows people to really watch you and see how you handle situations and I think more then just a few times you remind people to stop looking to others for help and start looking up.

Thank you for your example and thank you for praying for my baby. These past few weeks would have been hard to get through (I obviously do not have your strength. I don't know how some of you stay so strong. I admire you, truly.) without the support. Really.

Please know that I pray for Jordan (and family) every day. I really pray that his job keeps going well and that his health becomes a question and worry of the past. He sounds like such a remarkable young man!!

Love always,

I am so thrilled to hear about Jordan's new job and will keep it in my prayers for much success. I am sure Jordan is doing just fine. I also think it is awesome that Jordan and his dad got away for some great father-son quality time with other men of FAITH! Carly's older sister, Elise, is going on a missions trip at Spring Break with her sorority. They will be helping at an orphanage. Thank you for continuing to check in on Carly in the midst of all the other things you have to take care of. It means so much and lifts our spirits each time. You are both a blessings.
Have a Wonderful Happy Thanksgiving.

Hi Susan and Jordan. I just love the new devotional so much that I have copied it and printed it out to take and share with a group of ladies who are in rehab from drug use in a faith based program. I am a volunteer tutor for them in math for their GED diploma.

Jordan, how is the job going? Better and happier I hope and pray.

Praying daily for Jordan and his job and health issues.

If you could ever use some extra smiles and encouragement, please check out a program that I volunteer for. It's called Audrey's Umbrella and we send smiles thru the mail to people who are living with brain tumors. (www.braintrust.org/audrey) Please don't hesitate to contact me if you or your mom have any questions, ok?

I will be praying for you and will stop back again to say HI. Take care and God bless.

Thank you so much for the card! Oh! I love it! I especially love that it is from both of you! Jordan, thank you for the special note! I love how you say Miss April! That is just too sweet! :) I will keep your card forever! :)
I am glad that Jordan is enjoying his new job! I can understand that it would certainly seem overwhelming at first.........especially at Walmart! That store is always busy so I am sure it is always go go go! Jordan~ you are doing a great job! Keep it up! :)

I am happy to read that Nikki is doing better! What a blessing!

I am continually praying for Brent and his family! Susan! I know what you mean about neuroblastoma! It really is a wicked cancer. There is a little boy at our hospital who has neuroblastoma and has had quite a difficult time! I hope and pray that the new treatment course Brent is on will be key to beating his cancer!

I hope that you are enjoying the weekend! Take care and as always, hugs, prayers and well wishes coming your way from Florida!

You and Tonya need to stop apologizing for "rambling." Your journals are just that, YOURS and you should write as much and as often as you like. Besides, we all love your ramblings, I mean writings. :) I am always blessed by what you write in Brent's guest book. I read what Tonya writes and then go to see what treasure you have left for her in the gb.

I am so glad to hear that Jordan's job is working out. He is so sweet. I want to thank God for this open-minded manager, who has made a way for Jordan to tackle this job. Although we count it a blessing that Jordan has gotten this job, it will certainly be the manager and fellow employees who get the true blessing for having met and worked with your boy.

I too am praising God for Nikki's release from the hospital. I haven't checked with Laurie today, but am counting on no news being good news. I guess we are praying for pee. (Bless her heart, she'll smack me if she or Ryan read that line, but it is true.)

Praying you have a great weekend and a super Thanksgiving.

Do we have Jordan paper in the stores yet?

Dear Susan. I am a good friend of Luke Ronco and his family, and stumbled across your website for your precious son Jordan while reading Luke's page. I had to tell you how you have lifted me up and given me hope in regards to my son Andy. Andy is 23 and has a condition that is slowly weakening his entire body. He has had 4 anerysms, a collasped lung,tears in his throat, and many other numerous afflictions. There is no cure, and no diagnosis. We never know what part of Andy's body is going to be hit next. Reading about Jordan trying so hard to find a job brought tears to my eyes, because my son Andy wants more than life itself, to work for the local baseball team in their sports office. As a mother, I would love to call them and beg them to please give him a chance, but know that might make it worse. After reading about Jordan finally getting the job at Walmarts has given me hope. I read your site everyday because you are an amazing person, and you share your love for Jesus with everyone who reads Jordan's page. I promise you that I will keep Jordan and all the children in my prayers. And I thank you from the bottom of my heart for you inspirational words that give me hope. God Bless you and your family.

Jordan, How proud of you I am, I wish I lived near your Walmart so I could see you in action! They are fortunate to have you as one of their employees and I know you are giving them your best every hour of each day!

It is such a joy to hear all of the wonderful blessings your many friends are experiencing, It brings joy to my heart and a smile to my lips.

Have a BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND and please know I am praying for you daily!

Dear Susan, I had just finished sending you a little note and then clicked over to check on Brent and saw your e-mail. Like I've said before, you surely cannot tell any learning disability from his precious pictures! I've been praying for him on his new job...everyone is nervous on their first day. I can't imagine going through everything he has gone through and now trying a new job....I think he deserves an Oscar for that! Today I took Noah(7 years old) and his brother Brayden(5 years old) out to eat and I noticed one of the waitress' looking at him. I know what he is saying because I am with him all the time. He is so much taller and bigger than Brayden and Brayden speaks very well for his age. When you mentioned your Jordan looking at life innocently through the eyes of a child, that'sw what Noah is like. He never meets a stranger..as a matter of fact he wantd all of them to know his name, age, how many teeth he has lost and that I am his grammy. I know how my heart breaks sometimes when people look at him funny so I cannot begin to imagine how you have dealt with this double blow on Jordan's physical well being and all he has faced medically. You know society is so different now and so many people are mean hearted.....I can understand why he would feel a little apprehensive about leaving you and going to work there by himself. Anyway, I am still interceding for Jordan and your whole family and thanking god for His amazing grace and love for Jordan and you are right....The Lord has great plans ahead for Jordan! Continue to rest in His loving arms. In Christ, Piper Ham

Your Jordan is such a wonderful young man. Through your writings, I can feel the love and happiness that he brings to you. Mother's and son's have such a special bond. New jobs are so scary. I am sure Jordan's uneasiness will settle soon.

Susan, What a great way to start the day. After reading your devotional, I feel as if it was talking to me. I feel as if I have just begun my lifetime journey developing my spiritual intimacy with God. My sails are set full speed ahead!

Thank you Susan.

Hey guys,
First of all, I must say the devotional was awesome, thank you for sharing that! And, Jordan, about everything with your job: I'm praying for you with all of that. I still have a lot of difficulty with working because there's always just so much to remember, and remembering isn't something I'm all that capable of anymore, so I can definately empathize with you about working being so frustrating and difficult. And, sometimes I do frustrate other employees that I work with, and I feel bad about that, but sometimes everything works out fine too. I think you'll find your niche at your new job, though, and everything will be just fine. Just remember to give it some time and keep as positive an attitude as you can!

Psalm 44:1-8 (New Living Translation)
For the choir director: A psalm[a] of the descendants of Korah.

1 O God, we have heard it with our own ears�
our ancestors have told us
of all You did in their day,
in days long ago:
2 You drove out the pagan nations by Your power
and gave all the land to our ancestors.
You crushed their enemies
and set our ancestors free.
3 They did not conquer the land with their swords;
it was not their own strong arm that gave them victory.
It was Your right hand and strong arm
and the blinding light from your face that helped them,
for You loved them.
4 You are my King and my God.
You command victories for Israel.[b]
5 Only by Your power can we push back our enemies;
only in Your name can we trample our foes.
6 I do not trust in my bow;
I do not count on my sword to save me.
7 You are the One Who gives us victory over our enemies;
You disgrace those who hate us.
8 O God, we give glory to You all day long
and constantly praise Your name.

Mornin' Susan & Jordan!

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say hello & let you know we LOVE & MISS YOU GUYS!!!!! I tried to call yesterday but missed you, I'll try again today. (THANKS, for the birthday wishes!!)

Dear Jordan, Hi precious one! I was busy doing chores around the house when you came to mind...so I turned the computer on and speedily turned to caringbridge to check on you. I didn't see a new update yet so I just wandered to myself why the Lord brought you to my heart in the middle of the day. When I got to your picture, where you're giving Brent the "thumbs up" gesture and you have on one of his prayer shirts, the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart. I can't adequately describe how that feels. He gently said "lay your hands on the screen and pray for him". I am learning to be obedient without asking 51 questions as to "why". As I began to pray the Word over you I knew what HE was trying to tell me. Although we can not SEE the wind, we can definitely see the EFFECTS of it. Although we can not see satellite signals, we can see the EFFECTS of them. Although we can not see the radio frequencys, we can hear the EFFECTS of them. then I saw it...Although you are many, many, miles from where I am and although I have never even seen you in person, I can lay hands on you right here on this computer(powered by a satellite I can not see)and stand on His Word because there IS NO DISTANCE IN THE SPIRIT REALM! Praise God! So, in saying all of that, I lay hands on you in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus thanking Him for His divine work in your life...both physically and spiritually...He said to lay hands on the sick and they shall recover and be totally restored. thank you Father that You said Your Word WOULD NEVER, EVER RETURN VOID!Rest in His loving arms and care today. In Christ, Piper Ham

Dear Susan,

You are such an inspiration and have so many MAJOR things to worry about and yet you let those go and lift up the rest of us and for that I am TRULY Thankful! I LOVED the poem (I am going to borrow it, if you don't mind, it is SO beautiful)!

Way to go Jordan, I hope you get a discount at Walmart (That would make me smile for days :o) I have NO doubt you are going to do an AWESOME job and they have NO idea yet just how blessed they are to have a man of God working in their midst. I am proud of you!

The pictures of the conference are AWESOME and I can only imagine the wonderful feelings of joy you must have experienced!

Have a wonderful day, you ALL certainly deserve it!!

Love and Blessings,

First of all...hello..feel like I havent "talked" to you all in forever. Congrats on the job. I only wish I could see Jordans sweet face at our Wal-Mart here, heaven knows I 'm there almost daily.
Sounds like all are getting settled in the new home. I haven't been able to check on all my friends as often, but I think of you all daily and it always brings a smile to my face.

I went to K-Mart the other day to look for Jordan's Christmas gift wrap. They were just putting everything out and I just couldn't find it. I will check Target next. I hope I can find some.

You are right about being so grateful for Caringbridge. I never would have met you without them! :)

(I loved the ones of your family too, but didn't sign in time to say so ... or did I? GOSH, I'm SO CRAZY!)Anyway ... your support is AMAZING and we just love you all to pieces!

I hope that Rick and Jordan enjoyed their trip ... I KNOW they'll be on a "high" for weeks! It's somethin how coming together as believers can strengthen us isn't it???

Okay ... I'm not gonna keep you ... and I DO hope to do a better job at signing your guestbook! Please give everyone a hug for me???

I was so touched to read your prayer request for Nikki. I love Laurie with all my heart and have been so burden for this situation with dear Nikki. A huge thanks from the bottom of my heart goes to anyone who pauses to lift her up before the mighty throne of grace.

I know that God has the perfect job in mind for Jordan. I'm praying that, in his time of course, that He will pour out His blessing and J. can begin his new work. Won't it be cool if he is assigned to work the Christmas section at the store and he can sell his wrapping paper? I was in Target today, but didn't go to the Christmas section. I'll have to grab multiple rolls when I can get them.

My folks live in PA and my dad is attending the men's conference as well. How very cool that your guys can make the trip to participate and enjoy some super dad/son time together.

Praying for all of you daily.

Dear Susan and Jordan, I had to peek in really fast on Jordan before I left and as usual, was tremendously blessed. One of my favorite verses just leaped in my spirit when I saw Jordan's picture wearing the t'shirt that says "pray for Brent".......Pray you one for another, that you may be healed! Praise God, He has given us so many promises about our healing and He send forth His angels to see to it that His Word does not return void. I'll be lifting you up to the Lord all through the day today. I'll check back in tonight because I found some wonderful promises to pray for Jordan. Until then, rest in His loving arms, In christ, Piper Ham

Wow! Susan. What a wonderful devotion. I HAD to forward it to Josh, who certainly needs to focus on God's control in his life right now; but don't we all?

Praying for Brent, Nikki and always for sweet, handsome Jordan and his job. He and Josh have the same problem right now, of wanting a job and having to wait months to get it. Of course Josh is working at a job, but he desires a different one and has been patiently waiting on the Lord for many, many weeks. I know that you have been praying for him just as I have been praying for Jordan and his perfect job, as well as his health issues!

I know Jordan will have an incredibly God-Filled time with his Dad, what an awesome trip.

Praying for safety for them as they travel and peace for you while they are gone!

I hope our Jordan is working or almost ready to start working at Wal-Mart. I hope that he is feeling good too. Looks like you have a very handsome Jason too. Timmy loved soldiers and I have no doubt he is defending the gates of Heaven right now.

Thanks again for thinking of our family. It means so much.

Dear Jordon and Susan, I don't know how long it has been since I have signed, but I continue to intercede for you daily. It has been over 32 years since my precious Savior healed my niece of leukemia, and I still witness miracle after miracle. I have become a prayer warrior for Brent and that's how I found Jordan's site. I must confess, when I check daily on Jordan, I sit here at this computer literally feeling like I'm at the feet of Jesus with that song playing, "How great is our God, sing with me, how great is our God, and all will see how great, how great is our God." I am also continually blessed by your messages and your love of the Lord and His precious Word. I stand in agreement with you, just like the Nasons, on the Word of the living God for your complete and total healing of Jordan. There is nothing too hard for our Lord. Continue to rest on His promises. In Christ, Piper Ham

Hi Jordan,

This is your Aunt Mary. I'm looking forward to seeing you this weekend.

I loved the pictures of Jason, we are so proud of him.
