I know
our Lord and Savior and Father are supplying all your needs during this
time. May the God of all hope comfort you and give you strength. I ask
that you will be able to enter into His rest for your spirit, mind and
body during a time that rest seems impossible (He's done that for you
before). Be encouraged that He is calling those to rise up for your
during the watch hours. I love you guys so very much. I'll see you all
very soon!

Tom &
Jennifer. I love you guys. I don't know what to say at this time just
that GOD is always there and He has His arms wrapped around all of you.
I hope you can get some rest even though I know that will probably be
impossible at this time. I pray Ben recovers from this surgery fast. I
can't wait to see all of you and if you need anything when you get back
home, call me - I can run errands, help with the boys, etc. My thoughts
and prayers are with you. Kiss the boys for me. Love Aunt Karen

"But if I
go to the east, he is not there; if I go to the west, I do not find him.
When he is at work in the north, I do not see him; when he turns to the
south, I catch no glimpse of him. But he knows the way that I take; when
he has tested me, I will come forth as gold. My feet have closely
followed his steps; I have kept to his way without turning aside." Job
23:8-11 Even when we can't always feel Him, He is there. I do not know
why we endure some of the hardships that we do. I only know that God
will not leave us through them. You have truly "closely followed his
steps" and have been a true testimony of God's grace. And you will "come
forth as gold." Your reward is going to be great for the strength you
have shown during this time in your lives. Thank you for sharing your
family, specifically Big Ben, with the whole world. You will remain in
my prayers every day. Still believing with you...

Hi Bowen
family, I have been keeping up with little Taylor and her family and
have checked in on Ben occasionally. I just want you to know that I, my
prayer buddies group from Monterey 1st FreeWill Baptist Church, and
others across our "prayer buddies land" have Ben and all the rest of you
in our prayers. You are such an inspiration and God is going to bless
you. Please know you are loved and you are not fighting this battle
alone!

Tom &
Jennifer, I hadn't checked the website in a couple of days, and just
heard the news on Ben at choir practice last night. My thoughts and
prayers are with you especially now. I spent most of my morning in
tears, as Ben's situation brings back a lot of painful memories from our
granddaughter Hailey, but these tears also remind me of exactly what you
are facing, so prayer can be more focused. Know that many are praying
for you, God has been and continues to be with you, and His grace IS
sufficient (although at times life may not seem that way). May God's
comfort and peace be with you over the next few hours and days. Our
thoughts and prayers continue to be with you always.

Dear Tom
and Jen, my heart is broken for you. There are no words of mine to say
but when I am hurting I go to the Psalms. One of my favorites says "I
will lift up mine eyes to the hills from whence cometh my help, my help
cometh from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth". Tom and Jen, lift
up your eyes to the Lord; He will sustain you. He says, "I will never
leave you or forsake you". We all love you and lift you to our Lord in
our prayers. His grace will be sufficient.
