Tom,
Jennifer & Eli...I love you guys so much and holding Ben in prayer
today!! I know my faith has grown watching you walk through trial after
trial, victory after victory...seeing God's grace & mercy fall
abundantly on each situation. I am believing for a miracle in Ben &
trusting in who the Lord God Almighty was yesterday, is today & will be
tomorrow. God is the Great Physician & the Great "I AM" who is and was
and is to come. I am believing Jeremiah 29:11 for Ben and that God has
plans to prosper & not to harm him, that He has a hope & future for Ben
Bowen greater than what we can imagine or conceive! God's Word is life.
With faith & God's love...

I am
praying that God is touching the hands of your son's surgeons today. I
am a nurse at St. Jude and have not met you but do know the all powerful
healing of God. May he give you peace as you wait today.

I have no
words. We are all praying for Ben and your family. Sometimes I want to
get in the car and come to help. 1000 miles doesn't keep my heart from
hurting and my love from reaching out to you all. I believe and keep
praying. Love, Kim Croft and family

Jennifer
- I am friends with your sister, Susan. I was at her baby shower at your
house. Ben was in your belly. I just recently made the connection to who
Ben Bowen was and that I knew his family. My mother-in-law, Carla Cook,
had a rummage sale through Highlawn Baptist with the proceeeds going to
Ben. We were talking about it and I realized who he was. I talked to
Dan, my husband and confirmed it. You have known him for a long time. My
heart is broken. I have been praying for Ben and your whole family. I
read your story. I had never considered the difference between believing
in God and believing God. I choose to do that with you.I trust that God
will do what he does and be in charge. That's all there is to trust. I
believe that he will be with all of you and comfort you. I hope I am
able to hug you someday soon. Love in Christ, Elizabeth Bailey

I must
share my experience this morning. It was raining the boys and I was on
the way to Charleston for Speech Therapy. Ben was on my mind as he has
been all morning. I was asking God to send him someone he knew to talk
to him while he was in surgery so he wouldn’t be afraid. After I said
thank you to God and Amen I looked at the clock it was 10:02 am. I
flipped the radio channel and it was Hanna’s song. The song that is on
Hanna’s slide show came on. I had never heard that song on the radio.
The only time I had ever heard it was on her page. Instantly I had goose
bumps and a since of peace. Hanna is watching over Big Ben in his time
of need, I am sure of it. I had to share. Hope all is going well. Hope
this get all the tumor and we can start treating him with a clean slate.
Lets but this monster where he belongs in the trash. And on our way to a
normal childhood. Praying and believing. XOXO to Eli and Ben

good Lord almighty. I will be praying for the surgery to be a wonderful
thing to have happened and thinking about your family with deep love
