I have not updated this blog in a very long time. For that, I do apologize. I am still very involved in my work at St Jude with the kids and their families. It became very difficult for me to keep up this daily blog with all of the events going on in my own personal life and at the same time Facebook was becoming very popular. It was just so much easier for me to set up a Team Believe Facebook page, update quick post and keep everyone informed about our ST Jude kiddo's and the information regarding the St Jude Marathon through that avenue.
One thing is weighing very heavy on my heart at this time. The blog was set up to provide very personal information regarding the SJ kids and their needs. It was set up to help these families and to keep our Team Believe members informed about Team events to raise money for St Jude Children's Research Hospital. However, it seems it has become a "personal invitation page" to some to post very inappropriate comments along with others who have decided to use this an an attempt to ADVERTISE their own personal, for profit, webpages. I will not promote this nor will I allow it on this blog.
For those of you who are doing this... SHAME ON YOU! Most of these comments do go to the filter on this site, therefore not appearing on the comments actually posted to the blog. Thank goodness for filters!
For those of you who followed this blog for the purposes it was intended, I am grateful to you and your prayers and support you offered to these families. I have many new families that have arrived at the hospital in the months since I have posted. I am considering possibly picking up my posting on this blog. Just not sure if anyone still follows it.
I hope and pray each of you who read this are doing well. God has been working in so many ways to bless each one of us. I pray that God showers many blessings on you today.
Believing that prayer does work!

What a Slacker I Have Been!!
My apologies to everyone who followed this page. I just had to take a break. Life gets so busy around our house, I know it is the same for each of you as well. Things have been going good. All of our kiddo's are doing well. I was trying to update more on facebook, but I do realize that not everyone who comes to this page is on facebook.
I want to address first of all some computer glitch errors regarding Team Believe. As we are trying to get geared up for the next St Jude Memphis Marathon, it seems every corner I turn, something is going haywire! Team Believe members, you have not been receiving any team emails, nor has the office St Jude Team page been set up because apparently two ladies decided to form a team and chose our same team name. The way St Jude sets up their system, whomever join the team first, is automatically set as the team captain. Apparently one of these two ladies got registered before any of us did, so therefore the team captain is listed as one of these two ladies. I, nor anyone else in our group know these ladies. The team captain is the only person with passcode and access to the official team page. While the two of them are the only members of "their" team, all others on the list are our normal members. I have been in contact with the Hero's office of ALSAC and they are trying to help us out with this problem. I am praying these ladies will either join up with us and relinquish the team captain position to us or they will change their team name realizing we have had this name and have a reputation with this marathon after raising over $100,000.00 over the past five years. Our next obstacle happened today. Last night our Team Believe page on Facebook was just fine, showing 47 members. Today is is POOF, GONE, VANISHED... JUST NOT THERE!!! Is someone trying to get in our way of doing our good work??? Well, if so, we will find a way to fix it all and get back on track! As of right now, this is our only communication for our team until the others can be resolved. Please be patient and check this site often for info.
Now, for a quick update on some of our kiddo's.
Our team is running for little Trevor this year. He is doing really well right now, but a few things have come up in the past few weeks that are of concern. It has been determined that while he still has a portion of his original tumor and the lito spread on his brain and spine, the chemo is doing more potential damage to his kidneys. Therefore, the doctors have decided it is best to hold off on any more chemo treatments for the time being, give him a few months, then do more scans to see what is going on with the tumor and lipto spread with no chemo. Also, this will allow some time for his kidneys to recover some. Outside of this, he looks great, feels great and is just like any other normal healthy little boy. We are so excited to be running in his honor this year. Please help us out in anyway that you can.
Preston is doing fantastic! He was here last week. He looks great, all of his counts are great and he is just as active as can be. He will begin preschool this year!
Jack is doing great. His last 3 month check up results were perfect. Still no signs of any cancer!!! Jack is also now the proud big brother of Baby Tucker. They are two peas in a pod. Tucker looks just like Jack. Mom and everyone are doing great and enjoying every single day that life has to give them.
Ariel, Morgan, Heather are all doing great too. All are getting ready for school to start back. Ariel and Amber will be college students this year! So hard to believe!
Natalie, is doing great, she recently had her 6 month check up and remains CANCER FREE!! She and Nicole will begin their junior year of college. Do you realize when I introduced her to you, she was supposed to be in her junior year of high school and not a St Jude patient! Wow, time flies and she remains CANCER FREE!
I know I am leaving out some others, I will try to go back and catch up on them in another post. I just really needed to get some info out to let you know what was going on with our team information systems. Say a little prayer that is is all resolved VERY SOON.
Thank you for being patient with we, leave comments and let me hear from you.
Hope each one of you is having a wonderful week.

What A Great Week!
You just have to find a way to have some fun when your on your way into surgery! Regina, mom, was all decked out to go into pre-op with Ariel and having a good time messing with Ariel right before going into surgery. These are some really wonderful people to be blessed to hang out with!!
Ariel, the aftermath of her NO MO CHEMO party!! Lot's of fun, something she has been patiently waiting for!!!
Jordan got to enjoy the carousel at the mall.
Well, our little baby Jordan is showing off how BIG he really is now! He is just such the ladies man!
You simply can NOT possibly get enough Jordan hugs and kisses!
This has been a great week! I am so happy to pass along to you that both Jordan and Ariel have completed their week of test, scans, pokes and prods and are now considered to be NED-ALL CLEAR or in other words.... STILL CANCER FREE!!! Jordan will be coming back in 3 months to have some follow-up test for some activity that showed up on his EEG this time. Nothing they seem to be to concerned about at this time. He has been off of his seizure medication for almost a year now, and this is the first time that any such activity has shown up. He has not displayed any signs of seizures, so this is a precautionary measure, and they may consider putting him back on the seizure meds just to make sure he remains seizure free if they feel it necessary.
Ariel, had her surgery this afternoon to have her "extra part" or her port removed! This is a huge step toward being "NORMAL"! All of her test have come back perfectly normal and she is doing great! She will be returning in 3 months too, just for follow up. They will continue to monitor her closely just to make sure that they stay on top of any and all changes in any moles or spots that may come up. She will not be taking any further treatments, just check-ups. She had her NO MO CHEMO party in her clinic today! She was so excited about this, just like a little kid! No Mo Chemo Parties are a HUGE THING regardless of what age you are. I am so very proud of this beautiful young lady. She has been such a trooper and has come through her journey with cancer with such dignity and showing tremendous faith. This girl has had to administer her own chemo at home on a weekly basis, I have been in very close contact with her and her family through the entire journey and I can honestly say, she has not complained or had any negative comments to bring herself or anyone around her down. She is such a fighter and has faced this like a true champ.
So, having said all of this... we have 2 very happy kiddo's and families who are ST JUDE SURVIVORS and thriving tonight!! Jordan is back home, he left this afternoon, and Ariel will spend the night (post surgery requirement) and return home tomorrow.
Lord, we just want to come to You and thank You for Your perfect healing on Jordan and Ariel. What an Awesome God You truly are. We humbly thank You for all of the many rich blessing that You have bestowed upon us. We love You Lord,
In Christ Name, Amen
On, a sad note, I want to ask each of your for your prayers for Ryan's family. Please keep them in prayer tomorrow as they attend the funeral service for Ryan. I just can not imagine burying one of my children. Please keep them close in your prayers and if you have a moment, leave them a message on Ryan's caringbridge page.
It's been a very busy 2 weeks, things I THINK will slow down just a bit. I have had a call regarding a new patient. He is an older teen, non-hogkins lymphoma diagnosis. His name is Nolan, I would like to ask you to please add him to your prayer list. I will be meeting him tomorrow, I'll give you more info as I know and have permission to share.
Thank you to the most wonderful prayer warriors that I know of! Keep praying, your pleas are being heard.

Prayers For The Madrid Family
Another sweet one has gone home. Ryan passed away in his sleep around 11:30 last night. He did not seem to be in any pain, that is something to be so thankful for. This has been a very long journey, a very painful journey. I know Kim and the family are hurting so much, but at the same time so relieved that his suffering and horrible pain are now gone forever. He is at perfect peace with his Heavenly Father. Please lift them up in prayer as they face the tough decisions and reality of everything over the coming days.
It's been a very busy couple of weeks around the Jude. Last week Lil' Trevor was here most of the week for his big test, scans and chemo. He did great. Had the best results on his MRI since he began treatment. Tumor is still there, but the spine and brain stem looked as if the cancer there was possibly decreased in size. WOOHOO! Please continue to pray for this treatment to work.
He is just as much all boy as you can imagine. He is such a joy to be around. He will be back next week.
Preston seems to be really doing well. He is feeling much better, Renee says he is more and more like the old "pre-sick" Preston! For that we are so grateful! Please pray that he continues to recover for all of this nasty GVHD and will get to go home soon.
This week is a big week too! Jordan and Ariel are both here for the whole week. We have been having a blast! Jordan, believe it or not, is here for his 2 year POST TRANSPLANT check-up!! Yes, it has been two years since his transplant! That is just so hard to believe, but it has been that long! He is doing GREAT!! He is such the talker and really a ladies man! He loves the girls. I'll post more info from our events of the week with pictures later. We did meet up with Ariel and her family yesterday and did some major shopping at the mall and some fun time with the carousel and Spider Jump. These two attractions in the mall are so sweet and allow the St Jude patients to participate for free. Jordan and Ariel had a blast on that Spider Jump. If your on my fb, I have video posted there from yesterday.
Ariel is also here for her big week! She has completed her protocol of treatment and is here for all of her scans and test to make sure the chemo has done it's thing and she is NED or all clear of cancer. On Thursday, she will have surgery to remove her port. Thank the good Lord, this is now an extra un-needed part!!! Please keep her in your prayers as well as Jordan for all scans and test this week to show both continue to be CANCER FREE!!!
Got to run, more fun to be had today!
Please keep everyone in your prayers, especially the Madrid family.

BUSY, BUSY PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS...
I'm sorry for such a long delay in posting. The first of the year is always quite busy for everyone. I hope that each of you have been safe, warm and enjoying the snow if you are in any of the 49 states out of 50 that have had snow. Sorry, to those of you in Florida who have not had the opportunity to enjoy the snow. Personally, since we do not get to much of it in West Tennessee, I have loved every single flake that we have had so far. I'm just a big kid when it comes to snow.
Quite a few of our kiddo's have come in over the past few weeks for their check-ups. I am so thrilled to tell you that each one of them has had an excellent checkup with excellent results!!! Morgan is doing great, she looks beautiful and is enjoying life to the fullest. We were able to go out to dinner a couple of times while they were here for her two year post transplant checkup. She was selected by St Jude as one of the patients to feature in a huge picture on the wall of St Jude survivors. It's beautiful.
If you are in the hospital, you will find the wall of pictures in the long hallway leading to the Chili's Center right across from the ABC wall.
Please continue to pray for Morgan.
Jack was here for a few days for his 3 month checkup. Everything came back ALL CLEAR! He looks great and is feeling great. He is still quite the adorable little boy, so full of himself and life. He is getting ready to be a big brother. Not to sure if he wants to keep the baby if it's a girl. My bet is, he will certainly change his mind the second he lays eye's on her if it is a girl. They do not know yet, but do plan to find out the gender of the expected baby. Katie is doing great, looks great and has the cutest baby bump going on. Please keep their family in your prayers as they prepare for the new baby and continue to make their trips back to St Jude for checkups. Pray for Jack to remain CANCER FREE forever.
Natalie was back for her 4 month checkup. She got the ALL CLEAR too!!! WooHoo!!! I love when all of these kids come back and get excellent reports. It shows the hard work and success of the teams of researchers and doctors at St Jude. Natalie, looks absolutely wonderful. I got to meet up with Nat and Sandy for dinner the night before her appointments. They are such a sweet family and a blessing to be around. Nat is doing great in school. She and Nicole are in their sophomore year in college and both take full time classes and have a part time job. They are both remarkable young ladies. Continue to pray for Natalie to remain CANCER FREE. I forgot my camera when I went to visit with them.... sorry!
Little Trevor has been in for his treatment and checkups. He is doing great!
Just to give you an idea of his day during treatment... this child is non-stop from the time he gets up till the time he goes to bed except for during his chemo treatment. The minute they start the drip with the benadryl included, he is out like a light for the three hours of chemo! Melinda and I get a chance to visit and catch up on the events at their house while a freight train could come through the room and Trevor would not move! He is just so precious to watch him sleep. He had a rough time with chemo this past week, it made it more sick than usual. Bless his little heart! Please keep praying for him and for the treatment to show stable or actual shrinkage of his tumor. Pray for the sick side effects of the treatment to subside. Please be praying for excellent results on his upcoming scans. He will have his big set of scans coming up on his next trip in.
Ariel was in for her checkup and she too is doing great! She is one shot away from being COMPLETE with her chemo!!!! A HUGE WOOHOO for her!! She will be in for a checkup this coming Friday and I am so excited to be going to Hattiesburg to visit with them over the weekend. My son, Tyler, will be in Hattiesburg for the weekend with the baseball team he plays for. The team just happened to be based out of Hattiesburg, so that makes a win win for me!! I am looking forward to getting to spend time with them and see their hometown. Ariel and Amber are in the final semester of their senior year in high school. Their year is going great and they are really enjoying all of the joys of being a SENIOR!! They are both very busy making their plans for college next year. Please keep this sweet family in your prayers.
Please keep Preston in your prayers. He is once again back inpatient with fever. He has really had a tough time, and needs all of our prayers. He is over day +100 and had hoped to be back home HOME by now. You can check out his CB site, Renee does an excellent job keeping everyone informed of what is going on with him.
Last week I had the pleasure of going to the movies with Preston, his mom and Ma to see Yogi Bear in 3D. We really had a great time and Preston LOVED the movie! He sat on the edge of his seat with his 3D glasses on the entire movie! He was adorable to watch, I enjoyed watching him as much as I did the movie.
One other prayer request that I would like to share with you... our team member Svetlana had ear surgery this week. It was an outpatient surgery and she is doing really well. She has been in some pain and discomfort from the packing that remains in her ear. Please pray for her recovery and also pray that as this heals it will show that the surgery was successful to restore the hearing loss she has had in that ear. Thank you so much for those prayers. Her family is all located out of the country and she did not want to worry them, so she has not told them yet about her surgery. She has ask that we do not post any comments regarding her surgery on her facebook page if you happen to be facebook friends with her. You may private inbox messages to her, or for our team members you may post them on our Team Believe facebook page. Thank you for honoring her request.
Ok, I think that is about it to catch you all up on our kiddo's and team members. The only other thing I want to share with you is a big honor for me! I have been asked to serve on the Advisory Board for the Hero's Program for St Jude Marathon. We will have our first board meeting tomorrow. I feel so honored to be selected for a position on this board. I will fill you in more after we have had our first meeting and I know more. Just pray for me to serve the best way possible on this board.
I pray that each of you have a great week.
Keep praying....

Happy Holidays!
MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM OUR HOME TO YOURS!!!
Goodness, where did the time go? Was the marathon not just a week or so ago? How did I wake up this morning to find it Christmas morning???? Seriously, time has gone by so vey fast, I have been in high gear trying to keep up.
It seems that all of our families are doing very well. Not sure if I mentioned it or not, but over Thanksgiving my family went down to Florida to spend some time with the Dunfords after we had Thanksgiving with my family in Mississippi. We had such a great visit with them. DJ and Michelle are doing great, very happy in Florida and the boys are just wonderful. It was so great to be able to spend time with them. We were blessed again last weekend to get to spend a little time with them as they came through Memphis for the night on their way to Peoria to be with Julie, Austin and new baby Madeline Elizabeth Locke. Michelle is Madeline's Godmother. Her baptism was last Sunday and the Dunford's went up to be with the Locke's for the baptism. Both families are doing really good. Keep them in your prayers as they spend today without Elizabeth and Dax.
Preston as of this writing, is not inpatient for Christmas! Please pray that it stays that way! Bless his little heart, he has just had such a difficult time. Please keep him in your prayers for his complete healing and no more inpatient stays.
Eli and his family were able to go HOME for Christmas!! Hopefully they will get to have a wonderful visit at home and he will be on his way to his complete healing.
Little Trevor was here this past week. He is doing great! It was great to get to visit with them during his chemo on Wednesday. He slept through all of it, but Melinda and I were able to have a great catch-up visit! They are such a wonderful family. Please keep them in your prayers and Trevor continues to fight his battle with his brain tumor.
Please begin to pray for Jack and his upcoming visit for his 3 month check-up. He will be here on the 9th of January for a few days of testing. Pray for him to get another report of NED. NED = No Evidence of Disease I'm not sure if I have shared this with you or not, I had to keep it a secret at first, but it's now out... Jack is going to be a big brother!!! Ryan and Katie AND JACK, are expecting a baby on July 7, 2011. I am just so excited for them. Jack will be the best big brother!
There are so many today that are spending this very special holiday without their sweet child. Please, as you pray today for all of your blessings, please pray for all of those with an empty place in their hearts and homes today. Unfortunately, there are way to many to begin listing. Pray for strength for these families and those of you who have an empty seat at your house. Christmas is always a hard day for me, I miss my daddy but I know he is healed from his disease and getting to spend a beautiful birthday celebration with Jesus.
I pray for each of you and for a wonderful holiday season and Christmas Day with your families. Hug each one an extra time, hold them just a bit tighter. Love them just a bit deeper, appreciate them just a bit more and cherish every single millisecond so much more. Family is the glue that holds us together. It may be blood related family, friend family or a serving prayer warrior family, which ever, show your love today.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EACH OF YOU! I love you and cherish you for your hearts and your love you share.
Enjoy your day!

Goodness, where did the time go? Was the marathon not just a week or so ago? How did I wake up this morning to find it Christmas morning???? Seriously, time has gone by so vey fast, I have been in high gear trying to keep up.
It seems that all of our families are doing very well. Not sure if I mentioned it or not, but over Thanksgiving my family went down to Florida to spend some time with the Dunfords after we had Thanksgiving with my family in Mississippi. We had such a great visit with them. DJ and Michelle are doing great, very happy in Florida and the boys are just wonderful. It was so great to be able to spend time with them. We were blessed again last weekend to get to spend a little time with them as they came through Memphis for the night on their way to Peoria to be with Julie, Austin and new baby Madeline Elizabeth Locke. Michelle is Madeline's Godmother. Her baptism was last Sunday and the Dunford's went up to be with the Locke's for the baptism. Both families are doing really good. Keep them in your prayers as they spend today without Elizabeth and Dax.
Preston as of this writing, is not inpatient for Christmas! Please pray that it stays that way! Bless his little heart, he has just had such a difficult time. Please keep him in your prayers for his complete healing and no more inpatient stays.

A Few Pics to Share....
Our little miracle HERO-Jordan. Sporting his Family Walk Marathon Bib # He was just the most precious little thing.
The force behind the HERO'S program, Christopher Beck, Tyler Sutton, Garrett Sutton, Matt Riley & "Goose". Matt and Goose are a couple of Tyler's teammates from the Hattiesburg BlackSox Baseball team. The organization is now behind our efforts and more of the players plan to join us next year. Notice, Christopher Beck is wearing one of our Team Believe hoodies!
Garrett Sutton, crossed the finish line in the half marathon in 2 hrs 27 min. He did a fantastic job!
Matt, Goose & Tyler right after crossing the finish line.
This years very awesome and adorable FROG TEAM CAKE! Our decorating theme for this year was "Frogs". Jordan loves animals, especially frogs and lizards. This was the most amazing cake and I am very proud to say the sweet cake lady donated it to our team! Thank you very much to Cakes by Diane! Oh, and by the way, even the frog on top was cake and edible.
Everyone did a fantastic job this year. I'm not giving out totals yet, there are more to post. I will say, we have set a team record for our fundraising this year. This team definitely has the respect of the Hero's Program. I am honored to say that this team is a team that is used as an example for other teams to see. I give all of the honor and glory to God for our success. Your prayers for this team has made it the success it is. God is blessing our efforts, and I am truly thankful for this. Please continue to pray for our continued success and also add a prayer of thanksgiving for what He has done so far.
You all are hearing it or reading it for the very first time here.... next year I am very excited and honored to announce that Team Believe will be walking/running in honor of our precious Little Trevor!!! I talked with his family today and they are just thrilled to have Trevor as our Hero to Honor for 2011. Start making your plans for next year. Be a part of this incredible weekend of events and help us honor Little Trevor.
I'll post more pictures and more details in a few days.

Fantastic Weekend!
Well, it rained for forty days and forty nights.... I am wondering right now if one can sleep for forty days and forty nights! It was a wonderful weekend, as always it comes to an end much to soon. I have lot's to share with you, but right now this old gal is going to get some rest. I did want to let you know all the prayers for the success for this weekend were definitely answered. Everyone made it here safe and sound, everyone completed their run/walk successfully, and everyone, as far as I am aware, had a great time together! I think we only had one to draw blood, a few to beat their personal best records and MANY to wake up this morning having a little level of difficulty getting out of bed and moving! Guess that is to be expected when these awesome people push themselves to go above and beyond the normal to participate in an event such as the St Jude Marathon. We had many new people to join us this year. I hope we have hooked them and they will be returning every year.
I'm gonna keep this short for now, however I do want to share that we have an amazing total of OVER $25,000.00 raised so far! Did you catch the "so far" part? Be watching.... there will be a grand total posted soon. If it does not knock your socks off and make you so proud to be a part of this group by either the donations you made to the team, or the prayers you offered up for this team or if you participated as a team member, then NOTHING WILL! Be watching~
I'll post pictures soon too.
A TREMENDOUS THANK YOU to everyone for all of your love and support during this marathon.

4 Days to the BIG DAY!
In four more days over 14,000 people will be all suited up, bib numbers pinned on, shoe laces tied up, smiles across their faces just waiting to hear the gunshot sounding the beginning of the ST JUDE MEMPHIS MARATHON! If you have never experienced this event either as a race participant or just a cheering supporter.... you are truly missing an amazing event. There is absolutely no possible way to describe the feelings, emotions, and thrill of this day unless you are a part of it in some way. I read where Mal's mom had made a comment about the feeling when so many thousand people come together at the finish line in the baseball stadium all for one cause, to support this wonderful hospital. She is so correct! Just watching all of the people come in, some with smiles, some in tears, some in lot's of pain, some like they just took an early morning stroll across the beach.... but all for a reason, to support St Jude and the children and families treated there. Very little has touched my heart like this weekend of events does.
I have a letter that I received in the mail yesterday. It was the second such letter that I have received from the same sweet, selfless, giving CHILD! This little boy can teach all of us a BIG lesson on the giving heart. The bible tells us to give from a willing heart, just read his note. He sent me a note with $1.50 in it a few weeks ago. Yesterday, I received the note that I have posted in a photo for all to see. Enclosed with this note was a $5.00 bill. If you go to my personal goal page
www.mystjudeheroes.org/mardecia
you can see where I have proudly deposited that money, a total of $6.50, into the St Jude account. That $6.50 is just as important to St Jude and to God as any $650.00 or more! He gave from his heart and his desire to help others. I will say, this little boy from Oklahoma has certainly been raised in a great home with the love for others and the desire to help being a daily example in his life. His mom, is a team member of Team Believe. She was not going to be able to come this year, but because of another sweet and giving angel, she will be here with us! This event brings out so much more than just the love and heart for St Jude, it extends to so many other acts of random kindness that touch so many lives. I ask each of you today, look around you, do just ONE act of random kindness today toward a perfect stranger or to someone you know needs some help in some way. It is not necessary that it be some huge expensive thing, just a simple act that makes a difference to someone. A simple $6.50 from a giving heart has already touch so many people.
I got to visit with Preston yesterday. Please keep him in your prayers. He is still running a fever. They will be doing several procedures today to try to determine the origin of these fevers. They have already been running a battery of test, with no luck finding the source yet. Please pray that they will be able to determine the cause and get it under control. Pray for him to get out of isolation and out of the hospital before the holidays.
Your prayers worked, (any surprise here?) Leah's ANC went up, she was able to go home for Thanksgiving! Keep her in your prayers, she will begin the next phase of her treatment which will wipe out her ANC again. Let's pray for her to do well and be able to be home for Christmas too!
Ok... I have a very busy week but it's a busy I truly enjoy! I will be checking my list, checking it twice and getting ready for the first plane to arrive bringing in some of our TEAM BELIEVE members! Thursday, the fun begins... we have a group that will be here to help me get set up for our big dinner. Friday, the rest will come pouring in and Friday night we will all be together and enjoying hugs and tears of happiness. Please keep everyone traveling in your travel mercy prayers. Please pray for the success of this weekend. Please keep Molly's family in your prayers. She is the young lady that collapsed at the finish line and passed away last year. Her mother and other family members and friends will be here to participate in the race this year in her memory. It was important to Molly to run the St Jude run, her family will carry on for her. Pray for them, this will certainly be a tough day for them. Pray for all of the families who will be returning without their child to run in memory of their precious child. This is such a difficult thing for them to face, but so inspirational to us to see them do this to support and give back to the hospital for what the hospital gave to them. It's one way to keep the memories alive and in our hearts. I can't wait to see many of our "adopted" families and get me some big hugs!
Heather is here this week for her yearly check-up and battery of test and scans. She had her MRI yesterday. Please be in prayer for her results to be NED... No Evidence of Disease! She looks great, she is doing very well. Thank you St Jude!
HAVE A GREAT DAY! Look into your heart and see what you can do to help us out. We are just a little under $4,000.00 away from reaching our team goal of 20,000.00 I know we can hit this mark! I just know, with God's hand on our efforts, we can do this!

Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving to the best group of prayer warriors in the world! I hope and pray that each of you have safe travel and enjoy your time with your families and friends during this grateful holiday. I give thanks for each one of you!
You know from the very beginning we have always said... BELIEVE PRAYER WORKS. Well, I just wanted to share another testimony showing that prayer really does work. I ask for each of you join in and pray for Leah for her counts to recover so she can go home for Thanksgiving. Well PRAYER WORKED! Leah and Heather WILL BE GOING HOME FOR THANKSGIVING to spend the time with their family. Praise our almighty Father for His answer to this prayer. I hope that this will be the best Thanksgiving ever for Leah and her family.
I will be going to have Thanksgiving lunch tomorrow with my mom, my brother and his family and all of my family. I'm very grateful to be able to be together with them. Later tomorrow afternoon my family and I will be traveling on to Florida to spend the rest of the weekend with the Dunfords. I am so excited to see DJ, Michelle, Andrew and Charlie. The boys have grown so much, they are just young teens now. I can't wait to get to spend some beach time with them! Please include us in your prayers for safe travel. Thank you. We plan to return home on Sunday evening. So unless there is some major happening, you will not hear from me until after we return.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Team Believe is now over $13,000.00 and still climbing! It's not to late.... Help us reach our $20,000.00 goal. Thank you.

Are You Ready To Do Some Praying? Part II
Part II
We need to add Preston to our list. I got a message this morning from Renee that he had spiked a fever this morning of 103.3. I have been at the soccer field all day with my brother and his family for my nieces soccer tournament, so I have not talked to Renee but I would imagine that he is now safely checked into the Penthouse Suite on the BMT floor. Please pray for the fever to go away and for it to not be coming from anything serious.
Also, I would like to ask you to please lift up the Pettit family in your prayers. They are from my hometown, I've known them all my life. I graduated with the parents. Their daughter (a senior in high school) came home on Friday afternoon to find one of her brothers (age 23) had committed suicide in their home. Please keep them in your prayers, it's going to be a very tough road ahead of them. I just don't know how a family copes with such a tragedy... through God I would think would be the only way. Here is another family who will be without a child during the holidays. My heart is just breaking for them.
___________________________
Part I
Calling on all of the Team Believe Prayer Warriors to lift up little Leah in your prayers. Leah is going through a pretty heavy chemo protocol right now and her ANC is at 0. It's been there for quite awhile and they have been waiting for it to come up. The holiday are coming up, she only lives a little over an hour from Memphis, but she can't go home for Thanksgiving for their family to be together unless her ANC is at least at 500. We all know that prayer works... could you join me in waging a prayer campaign lifting Leah up in prayer for her ANC to come up so she can be with her family for Thanksgiving! Thank you!
Let's not forget to lift up all of our St Jude kiddo's and their families in prayer during the holidays. It's so hard for all of them!
Thank you, I always know I can count on you guys!

A Look Back....
Thought for the day....
When was the last time you had a spiritual checkup? When was the last time you read the instruction manual? Just like in our physical lives, exercise, work, proper diet, and self-control are essential to keeping ourselves physically fit. The same concepts also apply to our Spiritual lives. Taking a daily spiritual checkup and following a few key instructions from God's Word will help us maintain our spiritual health.
Our Father in heaven, I honor and glorify Your name. I thank You for the power of prayer and I am comforted to know that You hear me when I pray. I thank You that my physical health allows me to enjoy the beauty of Your creation. I thank You for the Holy Spirit that comforts us and Your sacred word that guides us.

First I want to ask for a special prayer request for the Lutrell family. Rachel Lutrell was a freshman (age 14) at Bolton High School where my youngest son, Garrett, is a student. Tuesday afternoon after school, Rachel and 3 other teens were involved in a vehicle accident about a mile from the school on their way home from school. No parent expects to send their child out the door in the morning and not have them make it back home. However, Rachel did not make it to her earthly home on Tuesday, but she did reach her heavenly home. The other three teens are fighting for life at The Med. Please keep these families in your prayers. No family is prepared for this, just as no parent expects to take a child to the doctor and hear the words "cancer". Life is hard, and we just never know what tomorrow brings. Also, I ask that you lift up the staff and students at Bolton HS. It has been very difficult for the students to cope with this tragedy.
Preston is still inpatient. Please pray for his healing. She keeps his CB page updated.
Ok, I have posted some more pictures from the past... LOOK BACK and enjoy. Be a part of this years events!
Time is running out, but you can still make a donation. Go to the link at the top of this page (to the left) and click on the team page. If you would like to make a donation on a particular team members page, you can do so by simply clicking on their name from our team page and it will take you directly to their goal page and you can make a secure donation directly online. Even a $5.00 donation makes a hugh difference. Prayerfully, please consider any amount that you can do to help support St Jude.
Look back and enjoy....
I can't wait to make more pictures and more memories from this years events!
Team Believe is looking forward to joining "Henderson Helping St Jude in Memory of Mallerie", "Alex's Warriors", "Remembering Reagan", "Team Trevor" and Sully's Scuttlers" this year to raise the roof on the fundraising for St Jude!!! Good luck to each of the teams, I personally can't wait for them all to get here so we can all have a HUGE REUNION!! It's going to be a wonderful weekend! COME AND BE A PART OF IT!
Take care, say a prayer for all of our efforts.

When was the last time you had a spiritual checkup? When was the last time you read the instruction manual? Just like in our physical lives, exercise, work, proper diet, and self-control are essential to keeping ourselves physically fit. The same concepts also apply to our Spiritual lives. Taking a daily spiritual checkup and following a few key instructions from God's Word will help us maintain our spiritual health.
Our Father in heaven, I honor and glorify Your name. I thank You for the power of prayer and I am comforted to know that You hear me when I pray. I thank You that my physical health allows me to enjoy the beauty of Your creation. I thank You for the Holy Spirit that comforts us and Your sacred word that guides us. May we always be spiritually fit and ready to defend he truth in any of life's circumstances. In Jesus Name, Amen.

BELIEVE
"And Jesus said to him, 'If You Can? All things are possible to him who believes.; Immediately the boy's father cried out and said, 'I do believe; help my unbelief.'" - Mark 9:23-24
Let us not settle for mediocre faith. Let us decide today, that with God's help we are going to build a stronger faith in ourselves and in God.
God, I believe, but help my unbelief. Don't let me settle for who I am today, but show me who I should be and give me the courage to desire and pursue that goal. I pray that You will build in me a faith that can move mountains for You, a faith that will overflow into those around me. In Jesus Name. Amen

I trust that everyone's week has gotten off to a great start. Those of you getting ready for the trip to Memphis, I trust you are as excited about the big weekend as I am.
This past weekend I had the honor of hosting a family/friend gathering for Joseph. He has really been fighting, at times his prognosis has not been what the family wanted to hear. They have continued to have faith that God has a different plan for Joseph. Yesterday, they got a report from the doctor that the secondary cancer "lymphoma" was no longer detected! Wow! The power of prayer!!! Please continue to pray for Joseph, pray for his healing. Pray for his family. We did one smile from him at his party. He is a big Ole Miss fan, a friend of mine at ALSAC was able to get a baseball signed by some of the baseball players at Ole Miss for Joseph. That brought a big smile! I must also tell you, that was one fun day for me, I got to be surrounded by loving Ole Miss fans! Keep the prayers going up for Joseph.
Big Trevor will be traveling today to come for his check up. Let's lift Pam and Trevor up in prayer for safe travel to Memphis and also for great reports.
Ariel was here last Thursday and Friday. She had good reports. Bless her heart, it was probably not one of her more fun trips, she had to get the flu shot and take the ACT test! She was feeling great, but by Sunday she began to feel a little puny, most likely from the flu shot. Pray that she is feeling much better soon. She really showed her spirit and drive to raise money for Team Believe this past weekend! They took a set of tickets for the IPad fundraiser back to Hattiesburg with them Friday night. Ariel took them out to a fall festival on Saturday morning and completely sold out of all her tickets by lunch time!!! She may have a future in sales! We are so proud of Ariel. She and her family are members of Team Believe this year, they will be with us at our team dinner. I look forward to everyone getting to meet this wonderful family. Beware.... there will be two sets of St Jude twins with us!!!!
Ok, since we are back to the topic of marathon weekend... I thought I would maybe begin to post a few pics to start that walk down memory lane to get everyone really geared up and ready for this years BIG WEEKEND! I went back and picked a few pictures to post. If you have not realized yet, IT'S ALMOST HERE!!! YEA!!!!

Be watching... more blast from the past to come!
Things are going great! Plans are all coming together. Funds are beginning to come in. I want to send out a few "shout-outs".
Brenda and Lenzy had a successful Arkansas Angels Beauty Pageant this past weekend, with all proceeds going to St Jude for our team! Congratulations to you ladies for your success and thank you for your hard work.
Svetlana is rocking!!! She is our top fundraiser at this point! Way to go girl! Not sure what she is doing down there in Atlanta to raise all of that money, but we could take a lesson from her :) Keep it up!
We do have 3 team members who have each raised over 1,000.00!! Wow, just think, if all 50+ of us raised just half of that, we would exceed our goal! Here in the last few weeks, I ask each person to try to reach a personal goal of $500.00 to put our team over our team goal. We are a team, we can pull together and show our love to St Jude and the children being treated there.Send out your letters asking for support, post you team page on Facebook, give your friends a chance to support your efforts. Just try those two things and see what happens.
Please keep our silent auction in mind. This was a very fun way of raising some money for our team and some lucky people got to go home with some pretty cool goodies. Be creative, bring an item, or a themed basket, anything you want to donate will be WONDERFUL!
Ok, go out today and show your faith to those around you! Make today a day that brings a smile to you and to those around you.

Good Morning!
Good morning. Did you start your day with a prayer for all your blessing this morning? I bet your friends said a prayer of thanks for the blessing that you are in their lives. Relationships and friends are some of our greatest blessings.
Everything is going well with the St Jude kiddo's. Preston is still inpatient, still struggling with that GVH rash, but hopefully getting it under control and getting to go out to Target House soon. Keep praying for him to clear of that rash.
The new guy I mentioned to you, has left the hospital and now at Ronald McDonald house. He seems to be doing well. Keep praying for his successful treatment.
Little Trevor was able to have his chemo treatment this week. He did see the kidney specialist, she was not to concerned at this point about his kidney functions, so they will continue on with his chemo treatments. They will be back on the 10th of November for his next visit and treatment. Keep him and his family in your prayers.
Big Trevor comes back on Friday for his check-up. Be praying for good reports for him, and safe travel. When Pam is driving, they need prayers! LOL
One year ago yesterday, our sweet precious prom queen traded in her crown for her wings. Mal is missed by so many people. She was a very special daughter, sister, niece, cousin and friend. She was so loved by all of her friends because she was a friend to them. I think Mal taught a lesson on how to be strong, how to fight and how to love. Please keep her family in your prayers at this time. Anniversaries are so hard. Prayers for Brad, Tina and Heath. We love you.
Welcome to Madeline Elizabeth Locke. ^Dax^ is a big brother now! Julie and Austin had their baby, a beautiful little girl with a very special name. They chose Elizabeth to honor sweet ^Elizabeth Dunford^. Prayers for this sweet family as they begin a new life with Madeline.
Please continue to pray for Ryan, pray for his miracle, pray for him to not suffer from all of this pain. Pray for peace. Prayers go out to Ryan and his family.
Time is getting closer for our big marathon weekend. Please pray for the success of this weekend for our team as well as the success of the entire St Jude Marathon. Many of our kiddo's families have teams who are working hard to raise money to help give back to St Jude for the time and treatment, love and care they received while at St Jude. Pray for each team. I am looking forward to seeing everyone as we all gather back in Memphis for this wonderful weekend. I am like a kid waiting for Christmas for all of TEAM BELIEVE to get here! I'm ready for some sweet and special hugs! This group of people are so special to me, they are a wonderful example of selfless people. I encourage each of you who have not been a part of this group and this experience to consider becoming involved with this team of wonderful prayer warriors and St Jude Heroes! I pray a prayer of praise for each one of you.
Last on my mind today... It's election day! Please choose to exercise your right to be a part in the process of selecting those people who will be representing you and making decisions that directly effect your life. As one friend of mine put it.... get out and go earn your right to complain if you are not happy with your government. If you are happy, then go out and cast your vote to keep things the way they are. I will be leaving when I close this post and going to cast my vote. I am truly excited about this privilege today. I have not really felt this way before, but I think it is going to feel so good to hit that CAST VOTE button.
I hope each of you have a wonderful day! Rain is in our forecast, but that will not keep us from enjoying our day.
