Just want you to know I love you. "When I survey life’s varied scene Amid the darkest hours Sweet rays of comfort shine between And thorns are mixed with flowers" This is a line from a hymn that Anne Steele wrote... thought of you when I read it, and of course I had to keep with the hymn theme. Love You, Kenz Leigh Anne,

I just can’t stop thinking about you tonight. Just want you to know I love you.

“When I survey life’s varied scene
Amid the darkest hours
Sweet rays of comfort shine between
And thorns are mixed with flowers”

Love You,

Specifically, I wanted you to know that a friend of my parents' from Arlington is really wanting to get in touch with you. Her husband suffered a very similar head injury a few years ago and he was there in Ft. Worth. They are such godly people and she would so love to encourage you as a sister who has been where you are. If you are interested in letting her get in touch with you (I am sure you are overwhelmed right now), please let us know,,,,through JT or email,or however. I feel like she would be an asset spiritually, emotionally and just to have someone who might be able to talk you through some of the logistics of insurance, facilities, etc...... By the way, her husband made a very miraculous recovery after being given very grim prospects by the doctors. We love you both... Amy and Steve Leigh Anne,

I can just imagine how your family has impacted those who have helped you. My family and church (Mountain Brook Community Church) is praying for you too. Tonight, after reading all the comments ( I read them all:), I am compelled to pray Romans 8 for you, especially the verse that says....."for often we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Holy Spirit himself intercedes w/ groanings to deep for words. " Is it better for Dustin to stay somewhat sick so he will get better care or is good health the road to recovery? Thankfully, God does know and has the power to intervene. I too, have been impacted by the sermon. I copied it to friends along w/ these emails so that others could be impacted and pray for you also. I have teachers stop me at school and ask me how yall are doing. Last night, Weyman and I took around 20 kids (in 4 cars) to Winter Jam w/ Newsong, Stephen Curtis Chapman, Jeremy Camp, etc...Just yesterday, my mom was sent to an oyncologist for possible bone cancer--sp? She is in a lot of pain. The concert was wonderful, but I couldn't get my mom off my mind, and as I watched all the young people singing and praising God, I could picture my frail mom in heaven one day, dancing and praising the Lord for eternity, it made me smile. (I think I told you she became a Christian at 79.- a whole other story) My prayer tonight is that you wil fix your eyes on Jesus ,the author and perfecter, consider him, and not grow weary and lose heart, because He who began a good work in you will continue to perfect it until the day of Jesus! And Lord knows you are surrounded by a cloud of witnesses!:) You are loved and prayed for all over the world. Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. Dear sweet Leighanne,

Just saw a tv ad announcing that on, I think Feb. 20 (?) or 27th, there will be a documentary by Bob Woodruff, the ABC reporter shot in Iraq. That was a TBI to remember. The fact that he recovered enuf to make this documentary and is scheduled to return to work is the biggest, fattest, encouragement I can think of. If he can, so can Dustin. Check local tv listings for exact time, but I just saw the teaser and wanted to pass this along. Love, Fran Hey, Gang!

I will be praying for Dustin's time with the traumatic-brain-injury specialist as well as his healing from this recent illness. Please know that I regularly plead for your family in my prayers, which are most certainly heard by the Father because of Christ. Peace, Jonathan Carter Greenville, SC Leigh Ann,

We know all too well the relief you feel that Dustin is in ICU. We fight every day to get Brian back there. It is a peace that is not felt in a regular room or nursing home. I hope and pray that Dustin will recover from this setback quickly. It is definitely a marathon not a sprint - and I know you are exhausted. But just when it seems to be too tough of a road, God helps us along. Know that I think of you and pray for you daily. And I am cheering Dustin along from Marietta, GA. Tell him "Good Luck" from me on the exam with the brain specialist. May God bless you and your family during this time. With love, Jamie Corona Marietta, GA Dear Leigh Ann,
