sweet sydney and family, how i prayed and thought about all of you yesterday and how much i hope that you can feel the presence of our precious Jesus. all of you have clearly given your lives as a sacrifice to Him, allowing Him to encourage and strengthen countless people through your courage and faith. i believe as sure as i believe anything that he will "repay the years the locusts have eaten," and you will be blessed beyond what our hearts, minds and souls can comprehend. may His spirit fall fresh and full on all of you today.

Hi Lynette!
I have been thinking about you all weekend (Mother's Day) and you have been on my heart this morning. I can picture you and I pregnant several times together and several times simultaneously. You always made pregnancy seem effortless, with such grace. What a gift all our children are! I can not even begin to imagine the pain and torture that you are going through, and yet you still have so mach grace. I pray that you are feeling comforted today and that you, Sydney, James, and the boys are feeling God's immeasureable love! Please know that you are an inspiration to so many and that you are helping the rest of us make it through whatever struggles come our way.
Lots of Love,
Carolyn Thompson

Dear Sydney, Lynette, James and family,
We continue to pray for you all and are so often strengthened and amazed at your courage and faith as you deal with this trial.
The girls and I have frequently listened to this hymn on a children's tape and made it our prayer for you. It is based on Deut 33:25 "Your strength will equal your days"

"Day by day and with each passing moment, strength I find to meet my trials here; trusting in my Father's wise bestowment, I've no cause for worry of for fear. He whose heart is kind beyond all measure gives unto each day what he deems best --- lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure, mingling toil with peace and rest.

Every day the Lord himself is near me with a special mercy for each hour; all my cares he fain would bear, and cheer me , he whose name is Counselor and Pow'r. The protection of his child and treasure is a charge that on himself he laid; "as your days, your strength shall be in measure," the pledge to me he made.

Help me then in every tribulation so to trust your promises, O Lord, that I lose not faith's sweet consolation offered me within your holy Word. Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting, e'er to take, as from a Father's hand, one by one, the days, the moments fleeting, till I reach the promised land."
(C.S. Berg, 1865)

We pray that the Lord will continue to uphold and strenthen you and that you may rest in His Providence and Love.

Lynette - As we were reading our Scripture this morning with the kids, my thoughts were drawn to you as they often are during our readings and always at night during our prayer time.

I found these words in Zephaniah encouraging, even though they refer to the Lord's deliverance of Israel from their enemies His promise is so applicable to you and to all of us.


The Lord is the King of Israel.
He is with you.
You will never again be afraid that others will harm you.
The time is coming when people will say to Jerusalem, "Zion, don't be afraid. Don't give up.
The Lord you God is with you.
He is mighty enough to save you.
He will take great delight in you.
The quietness of his love will calm you down.
He will sing with joy becuase of you."
(Zephaniah 3:15b-17 NIrV)

Isn't that beautiful?! I've never really thought of the "quietness of his love" and how calming that acutally is. I think so often I want to have him shout and railroad in to save the day ... yet only God could have quiet love that comforts. I so pray that you can rest in these calm waters in the midst of chaos and confusion, knowing that your prayers are heard and held.

I love the picture in Revelation of the elders and 4 living creatures before the throne of God (the THRONE!) "holding golen bowls full of incence, which are the prayers of the saints" ... lest we think our prayer are not heard, are not saved, are not treasured ... they are in their place, in golden bowls before the alter - a sweet smell to the Lord. He is mighty and will always prevail and always hears our prayers and petitions.

We will continue in diligence to pray for you and Sydney - knowing that this trial will soon be over, praising God for all the lives that are being touched by you and your faithfulness.

Much love!! The Wymas

I have been following your gut-wrenching story about Sydney since last year. I can only imagine how hard this has been for you! Your faith is inspiring and you are often in my prayers although we've never met. I hope this note of encouragement brings at least a sliver of comfort for you!

Just want you to know that I continue to pray for Sydney's complete restoration and for restful peace and hope for you all. I love you, Cyndy

Lynette and James-

We're praying for you all and especially for Lynette and Sydney! We love you.

Lynete and James-

She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.

Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:

"Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all."

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Proverbs 31:26-30 (NIV)

Lynette, my thoughts and prayers are with you and Sydney this Mother's Day. It is hard to believe it has been a year. I pray He continues to give you the strength and peace that surpasses all understanding. I pray for rest and recovery. I pray for joy in the darkness. I pray for news of healing and praise Him for the liver results. Peace to you Lynette and James.
Love, Dana

Precious Lynette,

Happy Mother's Day. You are so precious and beautiful and what an amazing mother you are to your children. I have so enjoyed Johnson at our home and soccer! He is a joy! I am so honored to be able to lift up Sydney to the Lord! Love, Kris

Dear Lynette,
Happy Mothers Day!! We all have so much to learn from you, you are the best example of a strong and faithful mother. We are thanking the Lord for the good report on Sydney's liver.

For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;
Psalm 103:11

I am praying that you will get some rest and the Lord will continue to heal Sydney.
Love, Beth

Just wanted to wish Lynette a Happy Mother's Day. I know you share the joy we mothers feel for being blessed by the precious gift of motherhood. Our children really are a gift from the Lord.

Lynette,

Happy Mother's Day! We are all so thrilled to hear that Sydney's numbers are better. We miss you and love you. Cate wants to see Net and Sydney. Know that you are always in our thoughts and prayers. What a wonderful example you are to all of us.

Love,
Kamee, Guy and Cate

Lynette, I was thinking how sweet our Lord is to bless you with such good news just in time for Mother's Day!
Thank you for letting us in on this work of God! Every day is a miracle with Sydney. I was also reminded of the mothers you have made friends with this past year who need to be lifted in prayer, especially today. We are joining you in praying for their families also.
Love you all,Susan,Steve,& Kylie

Dearest Lynette,
Happy, Happy Mothers Day. What a wonderful gift to receive-the news of Sydneys liver improvement.
As our preacher says "petals of grace" I hope your day is spent restfully and joyfully. I have no doubt that your amazing family is lavishing love and affection on you. We continue our prayers for Sydney to be well and strong. Lots of Love, Dee Ann
