Hi Precious Warren Family, I have been on this site several times this week, struggling to find words. So far, nothing has been quite enough and it never really can be. So, here is my best effort... We love you. We treasure you. You are in our prayers. We are here when you need us. Stacy, you are one of the most gracious people I know. It is no wonder so many are attracted to your sweet spirit. You are easy to love before one even gets to know much about you. You are surrounded by people devoted to covering you in prayer all hours of the day and night. Jeff and Kids, we know this is an unexpected road. However, we also know your character enough to know that though this is a hard journey, you will be sustained. You will love Stacy and support her like no other. We are praying for your hearts to be encouraged as well. I can't imagine a better family to support Stacy. Please remember you have people here for you as well. We love you all. We are praying for you all. Thank you for allowing us to share this journey with you via the blog. Our love, The Easleys

Stacy, Just from the very few times we have spoken, you radiate Christ and His Spirit and I am so thankful you are part of our church family. I know our heavenly Father will be glorified every step of the way. Thank you for being such a sweet spirit. Please know that you and your precious family are being prayed for by me and my husband (and our 3 year old, Brooks) every day. Praise be to God for what he has done and will do! -Tammy Jones

Hey Jeff, Running, riding, walking, whatever mode you are in...we are there beside you, your precious bride, and your beautiful children! Lifting you up when we think of you all...which is often. Thanks for your updates! Thanks, most, for your faithful commitment to following the Lord completely abandoned and transparent before your flock. Incidentally, Stacy, Gal. 2:20 is my life verse as well - I meditate on it regularly and live through it as He gives me grace!! May His mercy, grace, and peace be established as 'He lives in you - the life you are now living in the flesh by faith in the Son of God who LOVES you and gave Himself for you.' c Lovin' you across the miles, Chris & Leigh

Stacy, When I found out this evening to tell me, stunned was an understatement. With God's help, and the support of your family and strong church community, He will help you get through this one day at a time. Our prayers will be with you with each passing day. Faith in God and your love for Jeff and your children will help you through this like no other. Take care little cousin. Love you always. Michael Smith

Jeff and Stacy, Jack and I want you to know you are in our prayers. God is faithful, and we are confident that He will protect and sustain your precious family through this difficult journey. You have a special place in our hearts even though we have not kept touch since your time with us at PCBC. WE LOVE YOU! Frann and Jack Davis

Jeff and Stacy - You mentioned the hymn "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" and it brought back a flood of memories from four years ago when we experienced a particulary difficult season in our family. Another hymn that came to have special meaning to me during that time was "Be Still, My Soul". "Be still my soul! thy God doth undertake to guide the future as He has the past. Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake; All now mystermious shall be bright at last. Be still my soul! the waves and wind still know His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below" He is the God of Hope, in all our seasons! We love you guys. Jack, Carol and the Kids

Dear Jeff and Stacy, What an inspiration and testimony to watch you lift God up and praise Him during the difficult times, saying "great is Thy faithfulness" and "I have been crucified in Christ; I no longer live, but Christ lives in me". Thank you for your example of God's provision of strength and comfort. Also, He has daily placed you on our hearts where we will "lay our requests before Him and wait in expectation". With love, Kim and Perry

Dear Stacy, I was reading one of my devotional books the other day and an IMB missionary shared how Psalm 50:15 had been such an encouragement to her as she coped with the loss of her husband and two of her children in a drowning accident. I pray that it will also provide you with that peace and comfort that only God can give. The Lord tells us to call upon Him in our day of trouble and He will deliver us. Our response is to honor Him with our lives. I know you are honoring Him through your life. May He bless you and your sweet family with everything you need in these days of uncertainty. I know what you are experiencing and am praying for God's miraculous healing and His perfect peace to surround you. In Him, Linda Pruett

Dear Stacy, I was devastated to hear of the trial you and your family are going through; please know my thoughts and prayers are with you constantly and God has proven Himself faithful ever since He created the world. Our family visited FBC McKinney eight years ago. The Lord Jesus saved my soul while I was reading Isaiah 53 right after my college days. For the next 25 years I belonged to very small, traditional churches. The fear of visiting a "large, modern, Baptist church" was overwhelming, but my husband and I did it so our only daughter would have a home church and make friends...it's amazing what we do for our children...the first day we visited I was blessed to meet you...not knowing who you were, I was immediately made comfortable and thought to myself, Jesus is in her...if Jesus is in her, He is in this church, too! On many other occasions when we visited, God sovereignly put me in your path, and your love for Him radiated as you greeted me and gave me great comfort in a new place. We eventually joined the church and pitched in...my husband, Keith was impressed with Jeff and his doctrinal messages...me, I felt a connection with you...not only because you are a woman of valor, but because I see Jesus in you. He is the potter; thank you for being the clay! Love in Jesus, Veronica

Your faith is enough. It is evident by the way you live your life that your faith is enough. You are an inspiration to the doctors, the nurses and your family. Our prayers are with you in this time and I am so fortunate to know you. Jeff, you are a blessing to Stacy and your strength is her strength. We are anxious to see the blessings God is bringing your way through this journey. We love you and we are here through it all. In Him, The Haberns

Jeff & Stacy, It is good to hear a positive update in the midst of these difficult days for you and your kids. It brings joy to us to know that God is meeting your needs just as He has promised to do so. Valorie and I are praying for you and we will continue to do so. We know you have prayed for us in a time of deep sorrow and it is our joy to go to our Father on your behalf during this crisis in your lives. Love, Martin & Valorie

Stacy & Jeff, As school started back today for the upcoming year, I was reminded of the uncompromising faith of a child that sat so eager with shining eyes, watching me ... trusting that I, as their teacher, would know just what to do to get them through the year. That I would know exactly what I was doing, why I was doing it and that I would lead them down the correct path to get them to the ultimate goal of where they belong. Why can't we have faith like that? Simple faith that steals our breath when we just trust like a child ... "Jesus loves me! this I know, For the Bible tells me so. Little ones to Him belong; they are weak but He is strong. Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so. Jesus loves me! loves me still, 'tho I'm very weak and ill, that I might from sin be free, bled and died upon the tree. Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so. Jesus loves me! He who died heaven's gate to open wide; He will wash away my sin, let His little child come in. Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so. Jesus loves me! He will stay close beside me all the way. Thou hast bled and died for me, I will henceforth live for Thee. Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so." Follow the path of the child ... Trust the way God intended for us to do so. Everything else will work its way out. We love you and are praying for you every moment of every day!

Stacy and Jeff, Just a note to let you know that our small group (of three years with current members) devoted our Sunday night meeting to discussion and prayer concerning God's working through Stacy and the Warren family. We didn't come up with all the answers we would like to have had, but, praise God, the Holy Spirit provided all we needed. We know too that God will provide for you throughout this journey, and He will be glorified through this experience. Our prayers, individually and collective, seem insufficient, but please know we are here, praying hard and continuously. It may be all we can do for now, but know that we stand willing and anxious to assist in ANY way we can. Warmest regards and love. The Kellys, Davis', Vices, Bramletts, and Rienderhoffs.

Stacy, I've been lifting you up in prayer every morning and evening!! We love you, Jeff and the kids! Michael enjoyed running with Travis for cross country, he is a natural. Also I have dinner for you all and will bring it to you on Thursday. In Christ, Kim

Dear precious Warren family, Don and I have been praying together and separately as we think about your family many times throughout the day. Stacy, it is my desire that you be well instantly, but I know that God's timing is not always our timing. I am reminded that we must be still and know that He is God and that He is sufficient to meet all our needs. I thank God that He is still in the healing business today, and I truly believe that you are being healed. As much as we love your family, I am reminded that God loves you so much more. He wants the best for you, and I believe He is saddened that you are going through this journey right now. We are sad too. Please know that we will continue to faithfully pray for you all. If you ever want to get away for a little while and come to the lake for a boat ride, all you have to do is tell us. I frequently think of the fun we had with your family at the lake when your children were much younger. There is something so calming, relaxing and soothing about being out on the water surrounded by all of God's beauty. We love you all so much. Let us know what we can do for you. Janice Paschal
