Time is standing still for the Lamberth family. Mark and Angie and their son Nolan need your prayer. Mark was in a dirt bike accident around noon today in which he was severely injured. He was taken to a local trauma center. He is in ICU to this moment. The odds are not on his side for survival. The Lamberth family and friends ask that you would pray for a miracle for Mark. Please post prayers and encouragements for his family to read here. We will update you on any significant changes. Thanks!
Mark, Angie and Nolan

God, I ask that your embrace will comfort this family throughout this hurt. Heal Mark of his injuries and be with Angie and Nolan as they question what is going on. Use this time to bring others together under your wing, for the family for the healing and for the will of your heart. Be with the doctors and nurses, aides and tech. Give them eyes to see and steady hands and hearts to treat Mark. We lift this family up to you God. Amen.

Just wanted you to know that you have MANY people here in Louisiana praying as well.
Praying that God would be glorified through all of this and that the doctors would be brought to their knees by an inexplicable miracle.

I linked to this blog through another blog I visit from time to time. I do not know the Lamberth’s, but their story touches my heart. I pray God’s hands on you and your family right now. God is the God of miracles and I pray that he will give you and your family healing, strength and peace in this hard time. God bless you all!
December 14, 2008 at 12:19 am
We are praying and praying and praying. May the Lord work in miraculous ways!
Angie and the rest of the Lamberths and friends, you will not be consumed. Our God is a faithful and loving God. May you rest in his promises during this fiery trial.
“Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”

December 14, 2008 at 1:13 am
We are praying hard and fast for a miracle in Mark’s body as well as for Angie, Nolan and your family ! It is difficult to comprehend how & why such trauma enters and changes life as we knew it a moment ago. We are trusting God’s sovereign ability ‘in all things, to work for the good of those who have been called according to His purpose’ -Romans 8:28
Our neice, Colleen H works with Mark @ Mission Hosp ER & remembered that we know Mark from MABC.
December 14, 2008 at 1:20 am
I find I have no words that everyone else here has not already said. We (Tim and I) are in constant prayer for Mark, Angie, Nolan and the extended family this accident has effected. We would be glad to do errands, bring food, etc. Tim is in touch with David and passing along the updates to me. We hope we can help wherever help is needed.
December 14, 2008 at 1:28 am
I have been in Mark’s company on a number of occasions. A really nice guy!
He loves his wife, his son and His Savior!
Mark has been on my mind for the last 24 hrs. Praying often for him, Angie and wee Nolan.
I will ensure our church knows about this tomorrow (most already do as Pastor Ryan sent out a prayer alert) and we will pray.
December 14, 2008 at 1:43 am

Dear Mark, Angie, Jim, Barbara, and all the Family,
We are praying God will provide His healing touch to Mark, and that He will wrap His loving arms around all of you and that you will feel His presence, strength, and comfort.

December 14, 2008 at 4:19 am
I know Mark from Mission OR, he was once kind enough to come to my home & help me even though he had never met me.
I am not a religious person but my thoughts are with you. I find solace from the words of Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet.
“When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight”
If all our tears could heal…
December 14, 2008 at 4:44 am
Angie,
I’m glad we were able to see you briefly today. I wanted to pray with you, but you were talking with one family member after another so we decided not to bother you. Know that Mike and I have been praying and will continue to do so. My heart is aching for you and Nolan today.
We are praying for a miracle.
Love, Holly and Mike

December 14, 2008 at 5:16 am
Father God, We pray for Mark that he will have a full recovery with no long term effects. We pray that his life will be an example of the truth that God’s purpose for our lives is greater than any problem that we face. We pray that the doctors and nurses will be touched by the witness of Mark’s recovery and his faith. We pray for strength, endurance and comfort for Mark, Angie, Nolan and their family during this most difficult time. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
I work with Mark on 3E at Mission Hospital and he is a great pleasure to work with. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We believe in miracles and God’s faithfulness. Love, The Basta family

December 14, 2008 at 5:34 am
There are just no words! Angie, we wanted you to know our hearts are hurting so deeply with you! We prayed throughout the night and have had a tough time going about this day knowing what you are going through. We want to visit But are unsure if that would be something you wanted or if we’d be in the way… We are soo sorry and will continue to pray for you during this time! PLEASE let us know if there is anything we can do to help or be there for you during this time! Again, we are sooooo sorry you are going through this, we think the world of Mark and just (as everyone is) are in shock for you! God be with you during this time!

December 14, 2008 at 7:04 am
Mark and Angie: I came here via Renee Garcia’s blog. I am praying fervently that the Lord will touch Mark and heal his brain and his body. I pray you can feel the presence of Jesus and His arms comforting you during this difficult time.
December 14, 2008 at 7:12 am
I came here from Renee Garcia’s site. My heart is aching for your family. Life is so very precious and when you wake up in the morning you just never know what the day will bring. Know that the Lord IS with you no matter what happens!
Turn to our only refuge! Praying!
Psalms 62:6-8 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

I found this through Renee Garcia’s blog–and was drawn to your story because my husband suffered a severe brain injury 9 years ago. The doctors had little hope that he would be restored, and by God’s grace alone, he was fully restored. I am in tears just imagining where you are, what you are doing, how you feel, how he looks–I can remember all of it–including my fears, my longings, and the depth of my hurt like it was yesterday–my heart aches for you though we’ve never met.
I prayed before I wrote this comment, and will continue to pray for your sweet husband and for your precious family. May God’s unwavering love and comfort be on you and Nolan right now–may you be filled with His peace that surpasses all understanding and may the Great Physician bring healing and restoration to your husband. God bless you.
In His Love,
Carla Gorecki

We are praying for you Mark, Angie and Nolan. You are loved!
December 14, 2008 at 8:56 am
Hey Ang
Here are the verses I was referring to that have really brought me comfort.
Psalms 34:18 “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those that are crushed in spirit.”
Isaiah 41:13 “For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand an says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.”
Love you!
Love you Mark!
December 14, 2008 at 9:15 am
Mark, Here we are praying for a miracle. We want you back, we love you. I hope you get to read all this someday soon. Do you remember when I met you when me and Matt were first dating. I was seeking something spiritual. Looking to books and school to find a belief. I wanted to believe in Jesus but wanted it in black and white. I just wasn’t getting it. You talked to me a lot about all the stuff I was checking into. One day you said this the most simple thing.You said You aren’t going to find it in a book. Try praying for your faith. I took that advice. 2 weeks from that day I began the best most life changing relationship of my life. I never told you that that comment meant the world to me thanks . Mark,with that Faith I have in our Jesus I am praying for you to be okay.Love you Angie, Love you Nolan We are here. Lots of love Peggy

Mark, Angie, & Nolie… There are no words. Our hears are deeply hurting with you. We love you and are on our knees praying for God to heal Mark. We pray that God wraps you in his arms and fills you with comfort. We are here for you.
Angie… My women’s study leader (Natalie) her husband was in a dirt bike accident and the doctors said he wouldn’t make it. They were wrong.

My dear sweet family,
We know beyond any question, that God is a God of miracles. HE is THE GREAT PHYSICIAN. We continue to trust HIM for you all.

We will be praying and have been praying continuously for healing for Mark as we know that God can do. He is a merciful Father and a loving Father. Jer. 31:3, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with lovingkindness.” My precious Angie, we love you and our dear Mark– Know that we are praying for you and Nolan and will continue to bring you before the Father.
Jimmy, Barbie, Matt, Mandy and Amy you are in our prayers as well. We share your heavy hearts and our love and prayers are with you.

I was soo encouraged to hear that Mark will be transferred to Mission Hospital. I know Mark from working with him in the O.R. at Mission.
Mission Hospital has an absolutely fantastic Trauma and Traumatic Brain Injury Program… Mark is a very bright shinning light in what many of us often refer to as “our Mission family”
… you will be so very well cared for my friend!
You are in our prayers continually!

Hey Lamberths…
My name is Brian Wurzell and I’m representing the church family of Nathan and Mandy Lamberth out here in Arizona. I just wanted to let you guys know that our team is praying and thinking of you all today. We’re praying for Marks body and that God would stand in it and do the miracle that would bring Him the glory. We’re praying with the faith to believe that He would actually consider doing this miracle in Mark.
These are certainly those moments when questions like ‘where is God in all of this’ surface and yet the beautiful thing is that He is in the middle of this tragedy all over the place. We’re praying that you would be able to see the ‘there’s God’ in this ‘where’s God moment’. We can’t wait to hear the ‘there’s God’ stories emerge.
Angie and Nolan – we pray that God would give you an unmerited comfort in these critical hours. We are singing ‘How Great Thou Art’ this morning, which isn’t a typical song for our church, and I could not help but think of your situation and pray that this great God would just hug you both today.
Praying,
Brian and the team at Cornerstone.
December 14, 2008 at 7:54 am
Praying for you in Escondido.
December 14, 2008 at 7:59 am
Mark-
Yesterday Karen, Maggie, Gabe, Tom and Dr. Wilkens came to see you. We met your beautiful wife Angie and son Nolen, Mom and Dad, brother, sisters, many relatives and dear friends. The love and prayers that surround you is a testimony to you.
Your Mission Hospital family is praying for you and is standing by to be of any assistance to your family. Awaiting your safe transfer this morning.
-Victoria McKinney

Amen.” Ephesians 3:20-21. Jesus loves you. We will continue to pray.

Lamberth Family,
Although I do not know you, your story has also touched my heart! I pray that the lord, our almighty powerful father brings wonderful miracles of healing to Mark and peace to Angie and Nolan. I pray that in this difficult time you can let your minds be at peace and give it all to the lord for he hears all of our prayers. He is the King of all Kings and yes he is also the Physician of all Physicians. Let the lord guide this new doctor that has been appointed to you. Only through our wondeful Lord is this all possible. Only through God can this Physician work miracles.
In Jesus name we pray.
Much love to your family!
Chantal and Kevin
December 14, 2008 at 9:33 am
You have all been in my thoughts and prayers. I have also been praying for all of the healthcare providers that will cross your pass Mark. I pray that God will work through them to not only provide the physical needs but also the spiritual and emotional needs that are just as important to Mark, Angie, Nolan and the entire family. My faith continues to grow during this unfortunate time. Just continue to talk and pray with Mark. We love you!

I pray that many men and women of science come to know the Lord because of tihs situation. As they see your faith, and the faith of God’s people, they will learn and discover things that they KNOW are not possible. I pray that Angie has the physical strength to continue advocating for her husband, and that the body of Christ comes together to meet every physical need… clean her house, stock those meals, fill that tank, love that child, tend to errands, pay those bills. Keep posting so we keep knowing how to pray. Amen

Dear Angie, Nolan, and the rest of the family,
Patti and Rich informed us of Mark’s accident last evening, and I have been praying ever since. (my daughter, Anneke, is married to Izaak) I have been asking for the Lord, our Great Physician, to give great wisdom and skill to the doctors, and that He will intervene and heal Mark. We most certainly rest in His will in all this.
“In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul.” Psalm 94:19

Father, we ask at this time that you would protect Mark on the flight to the new hospital. That you would put your angels around this transport and that you would give the doctors and nurses wisdom in handling the decisions to be made for Mark. We thank you that you are still in control even when we feel so helpless to do anything. Thank you for caring so much about Mark and our family and taking care of all the little and big things that we will not see until this is all over. You have a plan for this situation and we want your will to be done at this time so that you can be honor and glorified.

Just wanted to say thanks you for the updates. Rob and I are checking often throughout the day and you guys are constintly on our prayers. We have had a couple of people in our family with severe head trauma and have seen both survive and continue living their lives. We have also seen the many miracles of modern medicine in our children’s lives and when my mom was expected to die from her car accident. All our living proof of God’s hand and plan for our lives. I know the power of prayer and am amazed by this sight and the many people that it has reached. My heart beaks for what you are going through, but stay strong. You are never alone!
December 14, 2008 at 12:57 pm
Thank you all for the words of encouragement and prayer that you have sent our family through these difficult days. They have meant so much to us that are words are not adequate to describe. Our hearts are broken, but our spirits are strong through Christ our saviour.Sometimes in families we don’t appreciate those that are close to us enough. This again has been brought to the forefront for our family as we read and cry over these outpourings of love and concern for mark. Mark is a gift from God that all of us who know him realize and are privileged to be a part of his life . His special way of sharing his love for others and his saviour are like no other. We continue pray for a miracle this Christmas season that only God can provide. Please continue your diligent prayer support for Mark and his family that God will meet all their needs. We love you, Mark, Angie and Nolan. Uncle Tim, Cheryl and Chance.
December 14, 2008 at 1:04 pm

Mark and family, you are in our prayers! I work at Misson with Mark and he has touched my life in so many ways- 1 in particular was 2 mths ago when my little boy was hurt and had to have surgery to fix his broken arm, but was really scared Mark made it a point to go into the or with him to help him feel better! We keep praying for him to get better and now with such an amazing medical staff at mission and all the amazing prays that are going out for him he has all the more change of healing. We will continue to keep your whole family in our prayers.

December 14, 2008 at 1:21 pm
Mike and I were praying for the helicopter ride. We are so glad to hear that Mark landed safely. The fact that 30 medical professionals were waiting for him made me cry. It has been evident in many ways that God has Mark in the palm of his hand. We’ll continue praying for more miracles!
December 14, 2008 at 1:25 pm
You are all in my prayers.
December 14, 2008 at 1:26 pm
I just wanted to say that I am praying for you and how excellent Mission Hospital is especially in the SICU Trauma team. I lead the Patient and Advisory Council for the Critical Care Team now for the hospital and it is through my own brain trauma that this has all started. You can read about it on my Caring Bridge site by going back to the beginning. I have full confidence that the medical team at Mission can help you if you can be helped. I pray the transfer goes smoothly and please contact me if you need anything. The hospital has all of my information. God is the ultimate healer and Mark will be healed if that is what God’s plan is for him. Hang in there in the meantime as these types of journeys are marathons not sprints. It is a long haul and you will need a lot of support to carry you through.

Angie,
We are praying for my good friend and our Best Friend has him in His arms. Remember, Romans 8:28 is The Lord’s promise to you and Nolan in this time of need. I only talked to him on Monday and I am devistated by the news. I have put out a prayer request to our church’s prayer chain and to all I know.
“…Fear not: for I have redeemed you, I have called you by your name,
you are mine. When you walk through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you: when you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; neither shall the flame touch you.
For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour…”
Is. 43:1-3
Love and prayers,
Steve

Work here at Mission- know that the staff here will take excellent care of Mark and his family.

Mark! We watched you take off into the wild blue yonder and prayed that God would carry you safely to Mission. He has answered so many prayers so far and I trust He will answer our greatest prayer: that you recover from your injuries!
Now that we’ve all gathered at the new hospital (your work!), we know why you liked working here. The steak hamburgers are awesome! I hope to come eat one with you some day real soon.
I pray you will read and hear of the amazing outpouring of love that is happening all around you. Jesus is amazing and His presence is here!
Godspeed my cousin! I love you!!

You have people from all over praying for you. I’m sure you take great comfort in knowing that Jesus and His Mother Mary will be with you throughout this ordeal, and whatever the outcome there will be meaning, purpose, and an eternity of blessings ahead. I do believe in the power of prayer and all the comments show we are bombarding heaven with them!!
Stay strong, pray for all the doctors and medical staff involved, and Mark will never leave our thoughts, we love you.

Angie,Mark, and Nolan, we are praying for you at this time. Always when hard things come into our life The Lord always brings a song to me. The song that has helped me is God leads His dear Children along. The first verse in the song says, In shady green pastures, so rich and so sweet, God leads His dear children along;Where the water’s cool flow bathes the weary one’s feet, God leads His dear children along. Some through the waters, some thru the flood, some thru the fire, but all thru the blood; Some thru great sorrow, but God gives a song, In the night season and all the day long. God is leading you along children we just have to trust him with everything. Know that you are in our prayers. Love , Terry and Rosemary Barthelemy

Angie and Nolan,
Jan and I have been praying for Mark and you intently during these days of waiting for a miracle. I wish we could be there now but we will be there next week. I pray for the doctors and sfaff as they provide the best treatment possible for surviving this injury. We were so sad to receive the phone call last Friday. May God sustain you through this unwanted adventure. I am so please to read the messages from across the county of people praying for Mark’s recovery.
I know you feel helpless but God, your friends and our wonderful family will walk with you into this valley. May God be gloried through this event. Praise God for the witness and testimony of Mark. God has been using him. I miss you all and we will see you soon. Our church and friends are praying for you all.
We love you,
Terry and Jan, KC, MO

I had a craniectomy too and I’d love to meet you. I will try stopping by the hospital tomorrow to introduce myself. You are in good hands at Mission Hospital. Their mission statement is “As long as there is breath, there is hope!” They will not give up on Mark ever………great team of professionals.

To Angie and Nolan,
I pray for God’s healing for Mark, all the Medical staff, your family, and everbody who has ever known Mark. I was His instructor for the Orthopedic technician program. Mark made the class shine. I knew Mark was a Christian, not only by his words, but by watching his feet. Mark has a great heart. It is an honor and a privlidge to know Mark, and I am praying hard for him. I not only pray for Marks healing, but comfort and Peace to your family. God Bless ya’ll.
To Mark,
Brother, you are in my prayers for strong healing and recovery for you.
Hang on tough buddy, God ain’t done with you yet and I know He has special plans for you. Know that I am praying for you and your family. There is a whole lot of people praying for you, Mark, so I know you are in God’s hands. Peace and Joy to your Body, Mind, and Soul. Love, Rick

We will continue to intercede for Mark. Love you.

for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: “Wake up, O sleeper,

Either way you wake up Mark, Christ will and is shining HIS light on you.
This has been on my heart for you all day.

A few simple words to express our concern and prayers for a miraculous recovery for Mark and prayers for comfort and a special awareness of God’s presence with you, Angie. You know, God knows Mark’s beginning from his end. Whatever happens is not untimely, but is part of our loving God’s merciful, wise, and purposeful plan. Mark is totally in His care. May the Lord’s presence be felt so near that you’ll experience the peace promised that is beyond understanding.

Angie, still praying, still hoping, not as the world hopes, but with the hope that God gives us. A confident expectation of goodness from Him.
Jer 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Jer 29:12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.

did this guy have a helmet on? if it happened with a helmet then a professional needs to look at that helmet and see how it failed.
December 14, 2008 at 10:02 pm
Sarah and I have been reading all your prayer warrior comments. It seems to me that you have a big army on your side and your Chief leader the LORD is with you at all times!!!! It is amazing to see how the family of GOD can be drawn together, it is amazing how many people the Lamberths don’t even know that GOD has called upon for this battle. It is also so great to see how you guys have been such a light in bringing glory to God to those you do know. I know that this is a hard time, but we are in continual prayer for you Mark, Angie, Nolan, Aunt Barbie, Uncle Jimmy, Amy, Matt, and Mandy. My heart just keeps going back to the little time that we got to spend with you last holiday, and how wonderful it was. Just remember the Lord is with you always!!!
Love R.A.N.C
December 14, 2008 at 10:10 pm
Again, we are praying continually for you all! We heard visitors were welcome… unfortunately we are heading out of state for the holidays and will not be able to make it to the OC before our flight. Thank you Josh & Troy for updating today… we will check daily while out of state and pray accordingly. Angie, our hearts are yours right now! While we are away, if you need anything that Sandals can help with in our absence please call the office (951) 637-8800) and ask for Michelle or Debbie. We will continue to pray… for God’s presence and peace to be with you during this uncertain time, and for God’s will for Mark.
God Bless!

Tears fill my eyes as I read of all the prayers people have for Mark, Angie, and Nolan, and of reading of Mark’s faithful testimony among so many people. I praise God for Mark’s salvation! And as I heard Troy say yesterday, if Mark were awake, he would be right here with all of us praying and encouraging us all!

I was one of Nolan’s preschool teachers, and our kids were in the same class the last two years. From the moment we found out we have not stopped praying for all of you. Carissa continues to ask about Nolan and his Daddy and says to please tell Nolan she says Hi. All of the preschool staff at Riverside Christian are praying for Mark, Nolan and for you. If you need anything we are available to you. Thank you to Casey for posting this blog.

Hi Angie,
I posted a comment last night about my husband’s brain injury 9 years ago. Right after posting the comment, I was stunned to see that you live in southern california.
Then tonight, I just about fell over when I saw that he was transferred to Mission Hospital today. My husband’s life was saved at Mission Hospital–that is where he went after his brain injury occured. They are amazing there–Mark really is in the best place!
All of my husband’s doctors and nurses are still there and this was 9 years ago.
My husband also had a craniotomy and was placed in a medically induced coma for almost two weeks. Doctors kept his skull off of his head for 6 months so he had to wear a helmet everywhere he went. Then, once 6 months had passed, they put a fake skull back on.
It was a long road and a long recovery to get to where he is now, but by the grace of God he is here and he has been fully restored.
Please contact me if you ever want to talk or if you have any questions.
I know I can’t ease your pain, but sometimes being able to talk to someone who has been there before–and has come out the other side in a great way–can maybe bring some comfort and understanding.
I believe that the SICU still has their wall of fame still, perhaps Mark Kay Bader would be able to show you who we are (although we look much dfferent now!). She is an awesome nurse and although it has been so long, she hopefully will remember. We kept in touch for about 6 years following his injury.
Anyway, I am praying for you all….May His grace and mercy be on all of you tonight.
(((Hugs)))
In Christ,
Carla Gorecki, San Clemente, Ca.

December 15, 2008 at 12:03 am
I just read this tonight and find it so comforting so I wanted to pass it along for all who are reading….
Psalm 139 (NIV)
1 O LORD, you have searched me and you know me 2You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. 4Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.
5You hem me in-behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. 6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? 8If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, 10even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” 12even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, 16your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! 18Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.
19 If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloodthirsty men! 20They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name.
21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD, and abhor those who rise up against you? 22I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
December 15, 2008 at 12:09 am
I know Mark from Mission Hospital. We’ve worked together, although not often..his work ethic and commitment to his job would resonate Christ in all the fabric of his being. He was working for an audience of One….. Angie, my family and I are praying for Mark, yourself and your son, Nolan.
6. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
7. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things.
9.Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me–put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
Philippians 4:6-9

Our heartflet prayers go out to you and your family..Your wife Angie, son Nolan, your parents and all your extended family, please know that you are all thought of and in our prayers.

December 15, 2008 at 2:49 am
i think the cool thing about you Mark is that an injury or time of trial isn’t necessary to inspire words like these to be spoken about you. Even some small things you might have said to me over a decade ago and maybe you even forgot? but i didn’t. years later, some of those statements & actions come up fresh in my mind. It’s amazing how the Lord’s ways become obviously higher than ours during these trials. I hope you get to see all of this outpouring, grace and support soon. I know you’ll be blessed by it. God’s grace in our lives affects so many, in so many positive ways we never think of or get to see… especially in a genuine and obedient approach like your’s.
“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” -Hebrews 4:16
Praying for you Mark!

Many in our community in Arkansas are praying for Mark! We pray strength for the family and knowledge that as the Great Physician, God can heal where no doctor can. God’s blessing and grace on Mark and his family through this trial. We love you in our Savior, Jesus Christ!

Dearest Lamberth Family,
I am trembling as I write this because it is all too familiar. My brother was in an accident just over a year ago and was in a coma and suffered a traumatic brain injury. Although every case is different, our families have one thing in common, Jesus. I will be pleading Mark’s case before His throne this morning and praying consistently for him and your family.
(I know that when we were told of the horrible odds against my brother, we were determined to beat them. We looked for a story of hope to encourage us and also to give us an idea of the road we had ahead of us. If you ever find yourself in this situation, please check out the blog we have for my brother: http://www.davidhuddleston.blogspot.com. There are also links to a video -actually a set of 4 short videos on youtube, 34 min. total- that we did to show his year of rehabilitation and recovery that documents each miracle and milestone. My brother did beat the odds, as I’m sure Mark will too, and has done incredible things thanks to God’s great mercies.)
Your newest prayer warrior,
Christa

Dear Angie, Son Nolan, parents, extended family and friends,
I want you all to know you are in my thoughts and prayers, I know Mark will pull through this he is strong. I have known Mark since the first day he started at Mission Hospital. He is the most amazing person to work with and has always been there for me when I needed help with casts ,splints or just to talk. He is the most wonderful friend.
Lord, look upon MARK with eyes of mercy, may your healing hand rest upon him, may your lifegiving powers flow into every cell of his body and into the depths of his soul, cleansing, purifying, restoring him to wholeness and strength. Amen.
Hang in there Mark!! I cant wait to work with you again!!

he delivered me from all my fears.
PS 34:5 Those who look to him are radiant;
their faces are never covered with shame.
PS 34:6 This poor man called, and the LORD heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.

Dear Lambert Family,
On behalf of the Mission Operating Room;
Mark was a member of our Mission family who was dearly loved. We miss him and send prayers to you and your family. There are many of us who would like to visit him but have already received word from the ICU nurses that we need to curtail our presence. We just wanted you to know that even though we are not there, our thoughts are with him and you. I want you all to know that Mark was a valuable and key component to the care we deliver here. We miss him terribly.
Don’t every give up hope, miracles happen.
December 15, 2008 at 10:03 am
We are grateful for a bit of good news. We continue to pray for his recovery and for your family. You are in our hearts and prayers.
Love,
Josh, Julie, Ben, and Jacob Morey
December 15, 2008 at 10:04 am
Angie and everyone,
We are in constant prayer. It’s hard to be back here and not with you. May the Lord to continue to pour out his grace upon you and strengthen you today. Thank you for your testimony by praising him in such a difficult time and turning to Him. My faith has been strengthened in this.
“Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”
Lamentations 3:22-24
December 15, 2008 at 10:08 am
You are in our thoughts and prayers. Our hearts go out to you during this time and we pray for a miracle.
December 15, 2008 at 10:08 am
I woke this morning to the sound of steady rain. Living here in Southern California, it’s a welcome feeling. My mind wandered to the nearby hillsides that recently burned and how quickly from the ash, life will start to grow. My next thought was the nearby Sierra high country that Mark loves so much. There in the alpine air, winter has clearly arrived. Rain here means snow there – deep and pure white. Bears fat with berries and trees drunk with sunshine are settling in as the Mountain nods to sleep. All will be quiet now. The Mountain does not fear Winter. Warmth and Spring will once again come to melt the drifts, expose the rocks and fill the rivers with spectacular power. Then as before, the trail will lay waiting to guide Mark on his next adventure – and the Mountain will smile.
December 15, 2008 at 10:17 am
Through the grace of god… all things are possible!! Angie, Nolan, and his family you are in my thoughts and prayers. Lord be with you and Mark at the difficult time.

December 15, 2008 at 10:42 am
As a physician I have come to firmly believe in the healing power of collective hope and prayer.I know Mark through my work with him in caring for my orthopedic patients at Mission Hospital. I cherish Mark’s presence in my life’s work. He always brightens my day as well as my patient’ and his co-workers days. It is truly an emotional challenge to see him in this caregiving role reversal. Yet, Mark is strong and filled with positive energy. He has shared that with us all. It is now time for all of us to refocus that strength and positivity into prayer and support for Mark and his family.
December 15, 2008 at 10:42 am
DEAR LAMBERTHS,
WE ARE CONTINUING TO PRAY FOR ALL OF YOU. WE KNOW THAT HIS PRESENCE IS SURROUNDING YOU WITH HIS LOVE, GIVING YOU HOPE, HELP, STRENGTH, PEACE, COMFORT, HEALING, COURAGE AND WISDOM.

Dear Mark & Angie,
I am a friend of your moms (such a precious soul), and I feel like we are bonded by reading the same e-mails, and as Barb shares about your lives.
You are all being prayed for on prayer chains in Ridgecrest
and my church Immanuel is wanting to minister to you in any way we can.
Dear Barb, I am lifting all of you up in prayer and know fully that our Lord has His arms around all of you. I love you and if there is anything you need call me. We are trying to bring dinners over to Amy and Mandy and the boys.
God is merciful and is the definition of hope, which is what seems to resonate thru the love and prayers which are being sent. I am praying for all of you and for Jim’s continued healing from his surgery. I also feel burdened to pray for the the wisdom of the medical staff who tend to Mark and the drs. as they make decisions.
On my knees for your family,
cyndy

I just wanted to express not only the sorrow and pain I feel for your family but also a few words of love. Its amazing and motivating to see how much Mark and his family are loved. I have spent very little time with Mark Angie and Nolan but in 1 split second of meeting the 3, all you could see was joy and love for 1 another. Well that joy and love has spread amongst any and everyone who has met them or heard of them nationwide. I think its powerfull and amazing that at a time like this 1 man and his family could bring so many people so much love and so much faith. I love and pray for you family

Lord Jesus, We lift up Mark before the Throne of Grace. We pray for the touch of the Master’s Hand upon Mark’s head and entire physical body and ask for a complete and full healing–yet not our Will but may your Will be done! Give all of the family and friends emotional and spiritual strength to endure. Use this opportunity to draw many even closer to heart of Jesus Christ. “Now unto HIM who is able to do exceedinly abundant, beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in HIM, to HIM be Glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus, AMEN! Eph 3:20

I was just talking to my husband this morning and was sharing that God had impressed on my heart that we as a church body needed to settle into a marathon pace; this was not going to be a sprint. I got chills as I read the latest update. Angie… you are not running the distance alone. You are running this race with a lot of friends, and hopefully we will be able to help you keep the pace! Mark… we will not stop praying. We have hope that we will see you through to a full recovery.

We just want you all to know that we are constantly thinking of you and wish we could be there. We are praying for a miracle for Mark and that God would comfort you and give you peace. I wanted to share a poem with you that I have held on to through the years. Sometimes we don’t know why things happen or what God has planned for us, but if we just place our hand in his he will carry us through.
Sometimes I’m sad. I know not why
My heart is sore distressed;
It seems the burdens of this world
Have settled on my heart.
And yet I know…I know that God
Who doeth all things right
Will lead me thus to understand
To walk by FAITH…not SIGHT.
And though I may not see the way
He’s planned for me to go…
That way seems dark to me just now
But oh, I’m sure He knows!
Today He guides my feeble step
Tomorrow’s in His right…
He has asked me to never fear…
But walk by FAITH…not SIGHT.
Some day the mists will roll away,
The sun will shine again.
I’ll see the beauty in the flowers.
I’ll hear the bird’s refrain.
And then I’ll know my Father’s hand
Has led the way to light
Because I placed my hand in His
And walked by FAITH…not SIGHT.
We love you all, your family in Idaho,
Troy, Brandy, Shelby and Justin
December 15, 2008 at 3:50 pm
Thanks so much for the updates. This blog is really a great thing. Not only do we get updates, but we have a chance to post our prayers, and I know a lot of people are growing in faith just from reading the prayers. As Mark did for me when I was his instructor at the Ortho Tech program, He really built me up as a great model of a Christian, and now, He continues to build others faith. You Rock, Mark! I will pray without ceasing and have built a prayer chain with those I know at work at the VA hospital, Albuquerque New Mexico. Angie and Nolan-My heart really goes out to both of you, and I can’t even imagine what pain you both may be experiencing, but I have great comfort to know that you have Christ guiding you all through this.
Love-Rick Waterman

To all the family in California,
I am finding it hard to get through these last few days without constantly thinking about you all. Of course, as soon as I think of you, I start praying. Know that if I feel this way, others must as well. The prayers the Lord is hearing!!!!!!!! He knows how special Mark is and how much Mark means to us by this outpouring of love and prayers. I will continue to pray for a miracle for Mark. We all know that the Lord can do anything. I pray that he heals Mark and in turn, we can give God the glory and praise.
I love you all!

We sang the song “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus” at the end of our young adult service last night and I couldn’t help but pray every word for you- Mark, Angie, Nolan and your families…
“Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in his wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangley dim, in the light of his glory and grace.”
may you be greatly encouraged in God’s presence today and surrounded with his peace.

My daughter, Kathy Whitehouse (who works at Mission Hospital)has asked me to pray for your family in this difficult time. I have alerted a number of my friends here in Florida to join in asking God’s healing for all of the Lamberths.
December 15, 2008 at 5:44 pm
the story is spreading and more people are praying!
December 15, 2008 at 5:48 pm
My heartfelt sympathies for the family and all you have had to bear but I know Mark and the loyal, devoted and determined father and husband that he is!!!!! If there is any way to beat this he will do it with the Lord’s help of course. Never in my life have I met a more loving and devoted father and husband than Mark. Angie, be strong for him and I am sure the Lord will continue to bless the two of you. You were meant to be together ALWAYS. Much love and my constant prayers,
Rae from Kaiser

It was nice to meet all of you today. I hope my case can be an encouragement to you. It helps me to know that a serious illness can also be encouraging to others. It was really hard what I went through and if God can use it to help you and others, I’m thrilled for that. The Bible says:
2Corinthians 1:3-4
The God of All Comfort
3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received.
I can confirm that this verse is true. God continues to use my illness to help other people and that amazes me that something that could have been so horrible, has turned to something worth sharing. Let me know if I can help you in any way. You are in good hands at Mission. You will love the entire SICU Team. I do!! They are remarkable people with a noble profession.
Hang in there!

December 15, 2008 at 7:31 pm
We have seen many people with severe head injuries get better and some God has other plans. There have been some that we don’t think will make it and they do recover to our astonishment. God may want Mark with Him and His purpose for our pain we will not know or even ask. I barely knew Mark here at Mission. After reading these messages and prayers and feeling this outpouring of love I want to know him better and I hope He leaves him with us for now.
December 15, 2008 at 7:31 pm
Dear Lamber Family,
I was in 40 Days of Love with Karen Cronk. She told me of your accident. My family is praying for you. I know there is power to prayer. I was diagnosed with stage 4 Cancer almost 4 years ago. They told me it didn’t look good and to “Get my affairs in order.” I had people praying for me from all over the world. I am cancer free today. Even though my doctor is not a Christian he said my recovery was a “miricle”. Keep the faith and beleive. I’ve added you to many prayer lists and my family in Boston (powerful prayers) are all praying hard. God Bless you and give you peace.
Yours in Christ,
Marie Kilby

I am sorry that you have to go through this. I know that God will give you everything that you need to make it through each day. Sometimes you may struggle to make it through the next minute, but God knows. I know that prayer works- my brother, David, is miraculously recovering from his TBI, and my family is determined to spread the good news and give you hope. The doctor’s all did an amazing job, but they told us mostly the worst case scenarios. It’s important to keep perspective- they don’t know everything about the brain, and so they cannot give the hope they’d love to give. And now, looking back, as frustrated as we felt when they stole our hope, we are now thankful for it. Because now we know how far God has brought my brother. God created Mark, and God can fix his brain. Reversible damage or not. So keep up your faith, because it is possible. May God’s will be done!
We’re praying in Texas!
December 15, 2008 at 8:06 pm
To the Lamberth Family -
I heard about this accident through one of my friends at Harvest. And although I do not know your family personally, we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. So, I am praying constantly for Mark and your whole family. Our God is an awesome God. He is there with your family every minute, and I just want you to know that I will keep everyone involved in constant prayer. May God give you courage and stength in this very trying time.
God Bless You,

Please know that I have been pleading with the Lord for mercy on Mark and you both.

My church FCC is also praying for your teh Lamberth family and a recovery for Mark.

hey casey, thanks for putting up this website. i was out in the field all day today and didn’t get a chance to see the update about the immediate-family-only thing. thanks to all of you for letting me see him.
angie, nolan, the two of you and mark have been in my thoughts constantly since i got your text. i’m so, so sorry. mark is one of the nicest, most solid guys i’ve ever met and if anyone can pull through this, he can. i’ve passed the word onto some of the classmates from micro, and we’re all pulling for him.
stay strong, and if there’s anything at all you need, please don’t hesitate to ask.
December 15, 2008 at 10:09 pm
It’s going to get harder and harder to find the new updates and to sign the guestbook with so many coming here. You might want to set up a page at http://www.caringbridge.com .
What comfort these verses give. Always praying!
Psalms 37:23-24 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
December 15, 2008 at 10:10 pm
I just wanted to offer some other miracle stories for you from Mission Hospital. They all have Caring Bridge sites so you can read about each journey as you have the time. All Caring Bridge sites are http://www.caringbridge.org/vist/ then you enter the name I give you all in lower case and it will take you there. Here are the names.
mikemarion (car accident)
mela (car accident)
karenkozawa (brain aneurysm like me)
jodejoyce (carotid artery ruptured in her neck)
dominickmartin (car accident)
adambullogh1 (mountain biking accident-no helmet on)
brittanymartin (car accident)
jamalmalone (caught in the middle of breaking up a fight)
wayneperkins (brain bleed)
All of these patients were within moments of their life breathing their last breath and Mission Hospital teams took heroic measures to help them have more time. It has been such a pleasure to walk alongside each family and watch the progress, support, encourage and pray for them. Many are willing to do that for Mark too.
Hang in there!

December 15, 2008 at 11:07 pm
I work with Mark in OR at Mission Hospital. I had the opportunity to meet a very pleasant, nice and smart young man and always there to be of service to his co-workers and patients (especially patients). This website is a testimony to the lives he touched.
Mark, I pray that the Lord our God will heal you completely and that He’ll give us (your Mission family) more years ahead to get to know you and your family. He said if 2 or 3 are gathered in His name He is in their midst. There are hundreds of people gathered in His name praying for you. And I believe He is in our midst. I speak Healing be upon you Mark in Jesus Name. Me and my family (and your friends in OR) are here supporting you and praying for your healing and strength and comfort for your family. We miss you!
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” – Proverbs 3:5-6
December 15, 2008 at 11:07 pm
I have been praying all day everyday since I heard the news. I love you guys. I am so happy to hear he went to Mission Hospital and everyone is fighting for him. I hope to see you tomorrow.

“And the Holy Spirit helps us in our distress. For we don’t even know what we should pray for, nor how we should pray. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will.” -Romans 8:26-27

Someitmes it is difficult to see the purpose…someitmes we never figure it out…Look to Nolan to find reason in life…Our kids often surprise us!

We send you our heartfelt prayers and trust in our heavenly Father as He comforts you and works to heal Mark. We are friends of Jim & Barb from back in the days of Riverside Bible Church. We will have the missionary community and our friends in Mozambique pray for Mark’s full recovery. In His omnipotence may your hope remain solid.
December 16, 2008 at 12:12 am
Cousins, my prayers are with you at this time. Seems like 2008 has been a trying time for your family. We should all set a date and time for fasting and prayer for our loved one. Fasting and prayer as a group shows our Heavenly Father we are in need of his intervention, and he will be faithful to answer our prayers. Dennis
December 16, 2008 at 12:17 am

Hi Angie, and Nolan, We are continuing to pray for Mark. Hi Nolan remember Nolan when I used to do Bible stories in preschool (Riverside Christian School Middlle 4’s) And you would ask me questions about different subjects on the Bible and I thought you were getting pretty smart on getting to know who Jesus is. I am so proud of you because I believe you are lifting your daddy in your prayers. For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power,and love, and of sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7 My God bless your family with love and peace. Hugs to you all, Mrs. Alicia

I look forward to talking with Mark again soon…I want to rag on him about those goofy construction boots he would wear back in our metrolink days…functional, but definitely not fashionable
Angie…you should know that your strength, courage, and steadfastness has been such an example to Robin and I…God is being glorified in every aspect of this event…we love you guys, we’re just a phone call away should you need us…
December 16, 2008 at 8:23 am
Mark—Just wanted to let you know that I am praying for you this morning. I find myself having to take a break from the day multiple times a day to talk to God about you. I have faith that our God is miraculous, and that you will someday read this! I am praying for each and every person that comes in contact with you, that they may have God’s loving touch.
Angie—I am continually praying for your strength and endurance through this. I know that you have a ton of amazing family and friends there to support you, as well as the most awesome God. You are such a strong woman!
Lots of Love!

God can open blind eyes, restore limbs, raise the dead, and save souls. And it’s not as unusual as we think. He does these things every day. I am praying for a miracle that will make his name known and give him so much glory.
December 16, 2008 at 10:05 am
Angie and Nolan,
Continuing our prayers for you both and for Mark. I find myself constantly thinking good thoughts for you and praying often through the day.
Our Monday night bible study lifted you up last night to God, asking for peace, understanding, stamina and of course miracles. Josie is really feeling for Nolan and praying for him specifically.
I have been so encouraged by all these outpourings of love, support and prayers. I can’t think of a better way for God to use this situation for furthering His Kingdom. It sounds like that is what Mark would want.
We will continue to pray and seek God’s will for your family. We are still here if you need anything at all. Don’t give up hope. God will answer these prayers.
December 16, 2008 at 10:15 am
We continue to lift you up in our prayers. May God give you a peace that passes all understanding.
Psalm 9:9,10
“The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble. And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You LORD have not forsaken those who seek You.”
We love you guys,

Dear Angie, Nolan-
Though I’ve not known your husband and Daddy very long, from one particular conversations at the lunch table, I could feel that he had a sensitive and giving heart- He was talking about wanting to adopt a child and the excitment and honest sincerity could be sensed- He also talked about how he has a supportive family and extened church family and it so very much is showing- I pray the HE will heal Mark and restore him- I pray for you Angie and Nolan, to find strength, comfort and peace in Our Creator who as the power to restore- My prayers are with you and your family-Hold on to HIM and each other
December 16, 2008 at 10:45 am

Dear Angie and Nolan,
We love your Daddy and husband so much (on 3 East and throughout Mission Hospital). We are all praying hard that Mark makes a full recovery. I ask God for a Christmas miracle. If anyone deserves it, it is Mark. He is such a loving and caring friend.
God, please grant Mark peace and comfort. Let your light shine upon him and his family. Give them all strength to endure this hard time. Please give Mark’s body what it needs to heal and return him to us happy and healthy.
December 16, 2008 at 10:56 am

Dear Lamberth Family,
I am not sure if you remember me, but Amanda and I were best friends in Jr. High, and got into too much trouble together. I heard about Mark this morning and will be continuing to pray for all of you.
In His Name
December 16, 2008 at 11:29 am
Sending prayers to your family from our 3 East family. Mark you are a wonderful person and we miss your smile!!! We need you back with our family and your family. We are here to help your family in any way that is needed.
Mark be strong for the fight ahead of you it will be a long road but all of us are here to help. We would like to visit but your condition makes it impossible at this time. We can only talk to you through our thoughts and prayers.
We pray God will hear us and help you get better, although we know it will be in His time frame not ours.
Keep fighting Mark!!!!!
December 16, 2008 at 11:59 am
Mark, I love you so much. You are like a brother to me. I am in constant prayer for you. The Lord is going to use this for his ultimate glory. Angie and Nolan I love the two of you as well. I pray for continued strength for you Angie. I pray that the Lord will continue to wrap his arms around you and comfort you. I pray that the Lord will keep Nolan strong through this tought time and give him understanding.
December 16, 2008 at 12:03 pm
At times like this, we are all confronted by the fact that life is fragile. While I pray, fervently, for a miracle for Mark, I also pray for those of you who don’t have the kind of relationship with God, through His Son, Jesus that Mark has. I know my niece, Angie, and nephew, Mark, well enough to be certain that that is their heart’s desire for everyone who reads this blog. Call upon the name of the Lord for this is the day of salvation.
Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
My Savior and my God.
Psalm 42: 11
December 16, 2008 at 12:04 pm
We can’t stop thinking of you all. We are still praying every minute you come to mind. We are being patient on the Lord for he is good! We love you! -Cousin Jen
December 16, 2008 at 12:13 pm
You dnt know me, I have visited OCC with my children a few times and everyone there are kind and loving. I pray to the Great Spirit above that he protects your husband as well as yourself and son. It hurt my heart when i read what happen to your husband. Pastor Josh sent me a tex and i was shocked by all of it. All i can say is stay strong and keep your head up. You are surrounded by loved ones far and near so lean on a shoulder when needed. I will keep talking to my Great Sirit for all of you.
AHO!!

A Prayer of David.
1 Incline your ear, O LORD, and answer me,
for I am poor and needy.
2 Preserve my life, for I am godly;
save your servant, who trusts in you—you are my God.
3 Be gracious to me, O Lord,
for to you do I cry all the day.
4 Gladden the soul of your servant,
for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving,
abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.
6 Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer;
listen to my plea for grace.
7 In the day of my trouble I call upon you,
for you answer me.
8 There is none like you among the gods, O Lord,
nor are there any works like yours.
9 All the nations you have made shall come
and worship before you, O Lord,
and shall glorify your name.
10 For you are great and do wondrous things;
you alone are God.
11 Teach me your way, O LORD,
that I may walk in your truth;
unite my heart to fear your name.
12 I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart,
and I will glorify your name forever.
13 For great is your steadfast love toward me;
you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol

So glad to hear the news that the Doctors are thinking in weeks & not hours! Know that family & friends from as far afield as Australia, South Africa & the UK hold you all in their thoughts.
It is God who brings forth light from darkness,
Banish fear & trust His Providence.
No disturbance of your happiness or good
Can affect the fortress of your innermost soul.

We are praying here in Virginia!! We all were so shocked and saddened to hear about the accident but have been praying and keeping Mark and our entire family in California in our thoughts and prayers. May God continue to comfort you all and provide for your needs during this time!!
December 16, 2008 at 1:44 pm
Lord, I place the Lamberth family at the feet of Jesus. I ask that you supply their every need. For Mark, be his healer and strength. For his family be comfort, peace, and joy. Do immeasurably more than they could ask think or imagine according to your glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Overwhelm them with your presence and power. Your love is better than life therefore our lips glorify you! In Jesus Name we pray, AMEN!

Our 13th wedding anniversary passed while I was still in a coma. It was a tough day for my husband and he posted the neatest letter to me on my Caring Bridge site. It was on April 2, 2007. I think many times we think about all of the big events in life, birthdays, weddings, etc. and then when you find yourself in a situation like this, you realize how important just being able to give a smile is, feeding yourself, doing chores, etc. I actually enjoy doing our laundry now because I can. I’m sure you would love to be washing some of Mark’s dirty clothes about now.
Sounds like some good plans for progress are being made for Mark. He is laying in the bed that I laid in too so hopefully that brings some good things for him too. You have the best in medical staff covering for him now so hang in there………It was great to meet Nolan today. There is much available for him too to help process all that is going on in his mind. Everyone’s world including his has been turned upside down. Let me know if you need anything….Happy to help where I can.
See you soon!

When we were at the hospital with Angie, God’s presence was everywhere. He brought people in to comfort Angie and her wonderful family like, Lisa Foto. She was a blessing to meet and spoke high praises for our God, the hospital and the staff at Mission! A Doctor came in and offered a pizza dinner to all the family and friends that evening. Mark’s fellow employees came in with loving hugs for Angie and well wishes for their beloved friend Mark. We love you Angie. Mark, we want to see your smiling face soon!! Angie, whisper in Marks ear that we love him too! See you soon.
December 16, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Dear Mark,
I’m praying for God to make you well. I hope you are better soon.
Love,

Hey Mark,
You have 443 people praying and holding you up to the Lord. Call it a hunch,but I really beleive you have a pretty good support of prayers for you and Angie and Nolan. God’s not done with you. You are one tough cookie, man! There is a divine principle at work here, and you have made it thus far through incredible odds. God is continually blowing his breath of Love, Life, and Peace through your gentle spirit.
Angie and Nolan, I will continue to pray for peace and comfort to you through this very difficult time.
God Bless,

We will be fasting with you Angie. Thank you for this opportunity. I am glad to see the Lord sustaining you and that you continue to turn to him. I have had so many people tell me that they are praying for Mark that are not believers including my own mom. God is being glorified in all of this!!!
December 16, 2008 at 2:20 pm
I continue to pray for Mark’s full recovery. I pray for you Angie. May God give you strength and rest during these days of waiting. I am looking forward to being there next week to hug you and see Mark. God is your shield and refuge. Take comfort in Him. Let family and freinds help you because this is a way they can minister unto the Lord.
God, thanks for your grace and your comfort. Rapha (Glorious Healer)

Mark,
I was going through photos of you this morning. There is one in particular of you holding Jackson just after he was born. You were smiling from ear to ear. It reminded me of how thrilled you were for Troy and I when we had Jackson. You knew what a privilege and blessing it is to have a child, and were extremely happy that we got to experience that blessing. The memory made me smile. I am praying, praying, praying, that I get to see your smile again!
“I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
For your steadfast love is great above the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.”

We were so sadened to hear of Mark’s untimely accident. We were just in California a couple of weeks ago and saw and talked with Mark and Nolan. It just shows how each day is a precious gift and should not be taken for granted. Mark, Angie, Nolan and the extended Lamberth family, we are thinking about you and praying for you and will extend the circle of prayer to our friends here on the island of Kauai in Hawaii.

I think of Mark often and pray for his healing. May God be with all of you and bring your family back home together.
December 16, 2008 at 2:44 pm
We wanted to let you know that we love you and I have constantly been in our prayers. It’s amazing to see the family of God coming together to pray for his child. It bring tears to my eyes to read all of the responses from those who don’t even know you that are praying with you. We will continue to lift you up to the Father and thank Him for the improvments so far. We love you!

December 16, 2008 at 2:45 pm
We are deeply moved by the desperate situation Mark and his family are in, and equally moved by their faith, and the prayer support by so many. Angie, we have been in similar dire times when the outcome was completely unknown, and we speak Truth when we bear witness that our Lord is a Great and Wonderful Healer. He holds you ever so close even at this moment, and He loves you, and Mark, and Nolan. We pray that He will grant your family healing, grant you peace, and give you wisdom in the coming days. We lift your family up to Him and ask His blessing upon you. In the name of Christ, our risen Savior. Amen.
December 16, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Our Prayers are continually with you and we love you! Your testimony has been such a light to everyone. It’s amazing to see the family of God coming together to pray for His child. Even those who don’t even know you! We love you!

Hey Mark,
May God continue his breath of love, life, and peace to flow through your body! You are such a gentle spirit yet such a warrior. Miracles happen and it appears you are one of those Miracles. Although a long haul ahead, it looks like God isn’t done with you on this Earth. Hang tough and know that so far appx 450+ people are holding you up before the Lord for healing for you and your family. It is really an amazing show of Love!!
Your ole’ Ortho tech instructor,

Angie and Nolan,
May God give you the peace that passes all understanding. I wish I could be there but I now live in New Mexico, yet I feel such a strong connection with Mark, You and Nolan, and all the beautiful people who have posted on this blog. Happy 10th Anniversary!!!

“I lift up my eyes to the hills- where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip- he who watches over you will not slumber: Indeed He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you- the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm- He will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” Ps. 121
Lamberth Family, we are praying for Mark that his body will get the rest and healing it needs. We are praising God for the skilled hands of the Dr.’s and staff caring for Mark. Angie & Nolan we are standing behind you on Friday fasting and praying. Uncle Jimmy, Aunt Barb, Matt, Mandy & Amy we continue to pray for all of you.

To the family: I am praying for you all that our great and mighty God would be pleased to heal mark wonderfully and miraculously. I do not know you guys but I know Troy and Melissa, as we fellowship at RBCR together. My heart goes out to you!
I am saying a special prayer for you too, Angie. I know how absolutely exhausting it is to be at your husband’s bedside night and day and not know if he will be okay. You also have a little one that needs you. Put your hope in God, for those who hope in the Lord will never be put to shame.
“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary , and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men will stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. The will walk and not be faint.” Is. 40:27-31
December 16, 2008 at 3:37 pm
Mark, Angie and Nolan. You all continue to be in my prayers. Each time that you cross my mind, I pray for you…which is several times each day. I am glad to hear of the great news Mark, Angie and Nolan. May you continue to be strong and at peace. God Loves You!!
In Christ,

December 16, 2008 at 3:48 pm
We heard about this through Los. After reading the story, I am sitting here at my computer tearing up knowing how difficult this situation must be and yet seeing how God is prevailing at the same time. We are joining you in prayer. What a beautiful family you have!
December 16, 2008 at 4:05 pm
As I pray for Mark, I remember that Mark has always been a man of strength and courage. In his younger days, they may have been a little misguided. I remember tales of Matt and Mark skateboarding down Van Buren with a bike towing them. I remember them going off a six foot high loading dock on their skateboards. Then a little maturity and wisdom settled in and they used that strength and courage for better things such as hiking the John Muir Trail. I am praying that Mark will use that God-given strength and courage to continue fighting this difficult but good fight. May God help you, Mark. Amen!
December 16, 2008 at 5:07 pm
Mark, Angie & Nolan,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. God is good! We’ve been witnessing Him work throughout this uncertain time and we pray that He continues to provide the necessary strength, healing and rest for Mark to make a full recovery. Angie, If there’s anything at all we can help with don’t hesitate to ask.
Blessings,
Cody & Cassie

December 16, 2008 at 5:13 pm
Dear Lord, we question not Your ways or Your wisdom. Our faith in You is absolute. Whatever You have in store for Mark, we trust Your judgment and accept Your will. We are humbled by Your word and comforted by Your love, content in the fact that, while we may not always understand the reasons for our trials on this earth, that our rewards for faithfully enduring them will lead us to the gifts of heaven.
We pray You will heal Mark and return him to us to complete living his life in Your service. He has touched the heart of every person who has ever gotten to know him. Mark has devoted his professional life to healing and comforting others. Please give comfort to his family in this time of need. Amen!
Angie- We are here if you need anything. Please don’t hesitate to call on us anytime of the day or night. Our hearts are with you every minute. Dave, Nancy, Coby, Ellie & Joe
December 16, 2008 at 5:18 pm
Nolan has been on my heart today. He was always so excited to be a part of Sunday school, and is definitely the coolest six-year old I know! I pray that this experience draws him closer to the Lord and he will look back on this time in his childhood as one in which he learned of the Lord’s faithfulness and goodness, and the power of prayer; and I know it will be one in which he sees his mother trusting the Lord with great faith. I continue to pray for Nolan as well as for you, Angie, and of course for Mark.
December 16, 2008 at 5:24 pm
We are praying for a speedy recovery for Mark and for strength for Angie and Nolan during this very hard time. Take care and God Bless. Francine & Gary

I’m Lisa Foto’s daughter. I heard about Mark through Heather earlier this week. I’m so glad that my Mom was able to connect with Angie, she is a blessing to many, many people. She told us today that Mark is in the same bed that she herself was in in SICU a little over a year ago. My Mom and her husband also celebrated their anniversary while she was in her coma for five weeks (you’ll have to ask her which one it was… I don’t remember but I know she will). I’m so thankful to hear that Mark is making progress, even if it is just a little bit.
December 16, 2008 at 6:10 pm
Praying for you.
December 16, 2008 at 6:16 pm
Mark, Angie, and Nolan,
As another day ends I continue to pray for all of you. As I read all the comments I cannot help but comment that Mark is such a great husband and father. The times we have hung out I can just see that he has such an undying love for his wife and son. Mark and Angie you guys are awesome. You have opened your home to adoption. You have accepted the challenge to care for the orphans of the world by taking one in your life. I pray that God heals Mark so that you can continue in this venture.
We love you and are praying for you tonight.
Love,
Nathan, Mandy and Max

Mark, Angie, and Nolan,
How my heart grieves for what you are going through, but soars for what God is doing in all of our lives. We have an amazing earthly family that God has blessed, and an even larger spiritual family that God uses to bring glory to himself. I know God has much in store for you guys. I know he will uphold you and supply all you need because he has done this many times for all of us.
Mark, you are three days younger than Nathan so I have connected you with him in the “cousin ladder.” You boys, along with the other cousins, have always had an eagerness for life. You make us laugh and you make us cry because of your love and caring sacrifice for others, as well as your incredible love for God. God has blessed our family because of you, Mark. We love you.
Angie, I remember when you first entered the family as Mark’s girlfriend. I wanted you to be a part of our family because I love you and your generous, sweet spirit. (Remember I told you that if you and Mark didn’t work out, I had a son that you could marry to be part of our family!) God has blessed our family because of you, Angie. We love you!
Nolan, you hold a special place in my heart because you were born right before our son, Jeff, died. We came out to California and went to the “mansion” in the mountains for a get away with the family. We were having our own worship service that Sunday. You and your parents drove up and came in during our singing. Family passed you around. When I held you in my arms, you reminded me so much of my sons when they were tiny babies. You helped me through my grief and pain. God has blessed our family because of you, Nolan. We love you.
See you soon, family! Love, Aunt Jan (and Uncle Terry)
December 16, 2008 at 6:30 pm
Know that there are many people praying for Mark and his family during this difficult time. We don’t know what the future holds, but God can do anything, and He loves Mark, and He’s an awesome and wonderful God.

Just a brief note to let you know that yet another stranger is praying for your family. What a blessing it is to be a part of God’s family and to share in your sorrows and joys even though we will never meet this side of heaven. I join my prayers with everyone else that Mark will be healed and returned to his family.
December 16, 2008 at 7:19 pm
Gavin and I have been praying fervently for a miracle and are amazed by God’s faithfulness thus far. We think of you, Mark and Nolan constantly and know that you are in God’s hands. You have set such an example of a woman of hope and faith through all of this and are bringing God glory even in your distress. Nothing is impossible with our Almighty God!

My Dear Sweet Cousin Angie,
You, Mark and Nolan are very much in our prayers and thoughts….along with all of Mark’s family and friends.
We all wish we could be there to give you big hugs and support you in this time. I have been praying that God surrounds you with his angels and it seems that he has with all your family and friends. And all of the amazing people praying for you all from all parts of the world.
We love you and we are “praying, praying, praying…”
Give our love to Mark and Nolan! God Bless you all!
Love Always,
Annie, Aunt Judy, Uncle John and all the rest of the gang!
P.S. Thank you to all of Mark’s family who are keeping everyone updated with this blog!
December 16, 2008 at 7:44 pm
Heard about this from Los’ twitter. Please know that I’m praying for all of you. I know how hard this can be – next week will mark my brother’s sixth month in the hospital. He was put on a trach the second week in (back in July), and he’s been on it since. It sounds scary at first, but it’s not as bad as it seems. (I’ll admit it took me a few days to get used to looking at!) I’m praying that God gives you peace about this (and all the other stuff going on). I’m also praying that you find rest. I know how hard it can be to camp out in waiting rooms…to continually eat hospital cafeteria food…to balance hospital life and home. God is bigger than the chaos, the pain, the uncertainty. Take rest in this. I’m sending up big prayers for Nolan. My brother has little ones, too – 3 boys (ages 6, 4, and 1). They have some rough days, but overall…they’ve taken this whole thing much better than the rest of us!
Praying for all of you!

Mark,
I’ve been thinking about all the things that we have enjoyed doing with you although it’s been a while. Backpacking somewhere that I can’t remember, camping at Joshua Tree, climbing at Joshua Tree, parties at our little cabin in Rainbow all packed in that tiny house. I look forward to the day that all of us can be together again and rejoice in God’s miraculous works.
December 16, 2008 at 8:15 pm
Mark, Angie and Nolan…you have been in our thoughts and prayers constantly since we first heard about Mark’s accident. How encouraging to read about Mark’s improvement each day…one little miracle at a time.
Love,
your cousin Michelle (Barthelemy) and family…Dave, Ben, Jacob & Sarah

I have great faith in our father and the miracles that he can provide, my hearts desire is that of recovery, strength, and little damage. I will pray God’s will and strength over you and and for our hearts desires!

My family’s thoughts go out to all of you affected by this tragic accident. It is so hard to hear about someone you grew up with having to deal with something as horrible as this. I have faith that Mark will pull through and will be healed.
December 16, 2008 at 8:38 pm
We don’t know you Mark but have been in prayer for you and your sweet family since the day of your accident. Even our kids are praying-your story is touching people everywhere. We will join Angie in prayer on Friday.

We are praying for Mark and his family. We went through this same situation with our son a year ago and know what you are feeling and experiencing. It is a hard road that you are on. Remember who is in charge though, our God. He is in control when you feel out of control. He has Mark in His hands and knows what to do. Keep the faith, and when you don’t feel it, or you are questioning it, just know that you have sooo many people praying for you. Submit to what God is taking you all through, because He does have a plan for all of you. You will never be the same again, nor your life. God is NOT making a mistake, nor has He forgotton you. He is right by your side. Just hold on to His promises and remember what you know about God. His way is the best way, just follow and trust in the Lord. We have been and will continue to pray for Mark and his family and friends.

Love,

One night a man dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonged to him and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene flashed before him, he noticed that during the saddest, lowest times in his life there was only one set of footprints.
He asked the Lord about it, the Lord replied, “My precious child, I LOVE YOU and would never leave, when you needed me most. The footprints are mine, for that is when I carried you!”
December 16, 2008 at 11:20 pm
Angie and Mark,
I have been praying for a miracle and will continue to pray everyday. Please let me know if I can help in any other way.
Love,
Aliza
December 16, 2008 at 11:23 pm
Good night Mark, Angie, and Nolan!
I look forward to seeing how the Lord will use you guys tomorrow.
It was hard not to visit today, but we hope to visit again real soon.
Love,
Troy

I love that little children’s song that says, “My God is so Great! So Strong and so Mighty…There’s NOTHING my God cannot do!”
God continues to hold our Mark in His loving hands and He is using these wonderful doctors, nurses and staff at Mission Hospital to facilitate the healing of Mark. Mission Hospital has brought hope to us. This is indeed a very unique place. Our hearts are warmed by the thoughtfulness of these kind, caring people.
Praise God for what we have learned today. Thank you Father for hearing and answering prayer. Thank you, our dear loving heavenly Father for encouraging us today and for the good news we hear!
We are humbled to read these comments on this blog and to hear from so many family, friends and brothers and sisters in the Lord…many we don’t even know but have heard about Mark and are praying. I cannot thank you all enough!
Please join us on Friday to pray and fast for Mark’s complete healing! And we will give Him all the glory!
December 17, 2008 at 12:05 am
Dear Lamberth Family,
You have been and will continue to be in my prayers. Our God is a God who hears and answers prayers. I pray for complete healing of Mark, strength and comfort for those watching and waiting for this healing, and wisdom for the medical team in treating Mark as they witness God’s hand in Mark’s full recovery. I am looking forward to sitting around the campfire with all of you next Memorial Day Weekend at Hurkey Creek. I know you from MABC in Riverside.

We are praying for Mark, Angie, and Nolan, and the whole Lamberth family – That God would keep each of your minds in His perfect peace. + We will definitely be believing God—that this is indeed is not too difficult for Him!
Jeremiah 32:27 “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is there any thing too difficult for Me?
All glory, honor, and praise be unto Him- even as our faith is tested.
1 Pet. 1:13
December 17, 2008 at 12:27 am
HOW WONDERFUL THAT GOD IS BEING GLORIFIED!!!
He truly is an Awesome God!
I pray that many lives will be changed through the fast on Friday, including Mark’s.
I pray that he will be miraculously healed, that it will be undeniably God’s hands at work.
I pray for the doctor’s and nurses to be in awe at Mark’s progress, that they will see that it is God working and be encouraged by it.
I pray that Angie and Nolan will remain strong and faithful. I pray that they will find gentle peace and security within God’s comforting arms.
To God be ALL the glory!
December 17, 2008 at 1:21 am
My sister Rose works at Mission OR and was helped by Mark when she needed it. For that I thank Mark and send my thoughts and prayers to you all at this time. The team at Mission are great and from your updates it seems that they are taking good care of him. God has a plan for all of us and we trust in his mercy and I pray that he will keep you all safe.
God said that when two or three are joined together in prayer our voice is louder. I may be living England but I am adding my prayers to yours to ask God to look after Mark and the Mission staff and of course his family.
May God bless Mark and all of his family and friends.
December 17, 2008 at 4:49 am
Praying for all of you.
December 17, 2008 at 5:34 am
We’re praying for Mark, for the doctors, and all that will see him, work with him, and all of the hands involved in his care. May the doctors have clarity and vision as they handle Mark’s treatment, and may their words be spoken to you with compassion and consideration. We’re praying for miraculous healing for Mark, and for strength and wisdom for you. May you find peace in letting others close to you take responsibility for the menial tasks so that you can focus on being with Mark, and focusing on the time with him now. May you be blessed with comfort, wisdom, and a sense of peace knowing that God is in control.
We’ll be praying for you and Mark!
Blessings,
Kim and Duane

December 17, 2008 at 6:01 am
We continue to uphold you all in our prays, love and thoughts continually. We will continue to stand in the gap with you all interceding on Mark’s behalf. I eagerly look to this site to read of what God is doing for Mark and rejoice as I read the progress that God is allowing to take place. What a privilege is ours to fast and pray for him and to sit back and marvel at what God is doing and what He is going to do in his life. Not only is God working physically in Mark’s life, but He is working among God’s people giving us the opportunity of seeing His awesome hand at work and to observe the mighty, miraculous deeds He can do and is doing. Mark, Angie, Nolan, Jimmy, Barbie, and all you kids, we love you and are praying for you all.
December 17, 2008 at 6:39 am
Sending more prayers your way this morning as the updates continue to be positive. Prayers for rest and adjustment for Nolan in this “new normal.” I pray that your physical needs are being met by the body of Christ. I pray that you all are surrounded by a protective hedge and that Satan cannot get near this situation by a thousand miles. Amen
December 17, 2008 at 8:04 am
My thought and prayers are with your family through this difficult time.

HalleluYah for what He has done, and will continue to do! Continuing on in prayer.

Mark, Angie, and Nolan,
We are friends of your friends the Crandalls. On behalf of our family, we are praying for you daily. We know the Lord is gracious and kind to His children, especially close during the hardest of times. We trust you are experiencing His nearness and love. May He grant you joy in the midst of suffering. In His love and ours.
December 17, 2008 at 9:02 am
Dear Lamberth family,
I work at Mission and as a faith-based healthcare ministry, we believe in the healing power of Jesus. May it comfort you that Mark is being cared for with the best possible staff and the best technology available. The stories of renewed hope and restored lives abound at Mission. May you continue to see light in the darkness and know that through God’s direction, healing hands are working around the clock to restore Mark’s body, mind and spirit.
December 17, 2008 at 9:07 am
Dear Angie…..My name is Susan Davis and I have stood in your position for the past 143 days. My Partner Karen Kozawa was in Mission on July 28th for a level 5 Brain Aneurysm. I met Lisa Foto on day one of this journey and she has remained by my side all of this time. We almost lost Karen 6 times, but do to God and the outstanding, erudite doctors and nurses at Missions SICU, Karen is alive today. She is home, but remains in outpatient therapy. I cannot say enough in words about the staff at Mission. I understand Mark works there and so does my brother, so we al know how great the hsopital is.
I am praying for Mark, your son, and You…….like I said, I have traveled in your footsteps so I have a perspective like you. I plan to come to Mission in the next few days to offer whatever support I can. Please know, for you this is a very long marithon. No one understands that better than me.
If you need to talk, please feel free to call me at 949-230-9510. You can e-mail me at teechpurple@cox.net. All the nurses know me in SICU so feel free to ask them about Karen and me.
Please know that Mark is in the best hands possible. With love and support he has the best chance of survival at Mission. My heart goes out to all of you….143 days ago, I lived at Mission. Karen was in an induced Coma for 5 and 1/2 weeks.
I hope to meet you in person this weekend.
Hugs…….Susan Davis

I thought you might find this interesting. I have found it to be true in my own life and wouldn’t change one part of the story. Hope you are having a good day today. ~Lisa Foto
Greg Laurie’s Daily Devotion for Thursday, August 14, 2008
Suffering as Preparation
Suffering can also be used by God to prepare us for a special task ahead of us.
The Bible doesn’t tell us what Job’s task might have been after God completely restored him, but it certainly tells us what happened with Joseph, in the book of Genesis. Through unbelievable adversity as a young man, God prepared him for a task beyond his imagination.
You remember his story. Abandoned and betrayed by his brothers, and sold into slavery, he was eventually elevated to a position of great power. As the prime minister of Egypt, the second most influential man in the world, he was given charge of Egypt’s food stores during a worldwide famine.
Then the day came when ten of his brothers, who thought Joseph was long dead, came down to Egypt from Canaan to get food for their starving families. The moment Joseph saw and recognized them, he could have had them summarily executed on the spot.
Instead, he forgave them, and made this amazing statement:
“But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.” (Genesis 50:20 NKJV)
Earlier, he told them: “But don’t be angry with yourselves that you did this to me, for God did it. He sent me here ahead of you to preserve your lives” (Genesis 45:5 NLT).
Did you catch that? Joseph didn’t just say “God allowed it,” though you could describe it that way, too. But he actually said, “God did it.” Why? Joseph said, “To save many people alive.”
God delivered Joseph from his brothers’ jealousy, from a false accusation by his master’s wife, and then from the dungeon, so he could interpret the dream of the Pharaoh and make provision for the future. And many, many people across the ancient world lived as a result. The suffering he went through prepared him for the job that God had for him.
Maybe the Lord is allowing you to go through some difficult circumstances right now to prepare you for something He wants you to do tomorrow. I realize that thought might not comfort you all that much in your present distress. You may be thinking, “No, this suffering doesn’t make any sense at all. It’s meaningless. There’s no point to it.”
Joseph might have thought that same thing at several points in his life journey. It’s certain that Job did! But the truth is, God might very well be preparing you to touch someone else’s life in a way no one else could.
If someone just found out they have cancer and you are a cancer survivor, you have no idea how much encouragement and perspective you can bring to such a person, who feels as though he or she has been handed a death sentence.
You have no idea how much comfort that can bring. And it would be something that only you could say. No one else could say those words with the same kind of credibility.
Once, we had a man named Brian Birdwell give his testimony at our church. Brian was in the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, when those planes crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Many of Brian’s friends were killed that day. He survived, though he was burned over much of his body, and had to go through excruciating, multiple skin graft operations.
Afterward, I had lunch with Brian, and we had a lot of fun together. He is very witty and a great pleasure to be with. In my opinion, he is also a genuine American hero.
Before we finished our meal, I asked him if he wanted to do something with me that afternoon. He thanked me, but then said, “Greg, I’d love to, but I can’t. I have to go to a hospital.”
“What’s going on?” I asked him.
“Well,” he said, “whenever I go speak in some location, I always find out where the local burn ward is, and I go and visit the patients.”
I remember thinking how wonderful that was. Who could have a more effective ministry to burn victims than someone who had been through the agony of skin grafts and burn treatments as Brian had?
Imagine being an individual burned over most of your body, and thinking, “My life is over.” But then a survivor comes along and says, “Look. I know how hard it is. I have been there. But I got through it! And here is what God has been doing in and through my life since I got out of the hospital. He can do the same for you!”
Paul, who had his own serious issues with suffering, wrote: “He is the source of every mercy and the God who comforts us. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When others are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. You can be sure that the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ” (2 Corinthians 1:3-5 NLT).
God will give you that comfort—over and beyond what you can personally contain—so that you can share it with others.

John and I were blessed to have met you both at our Adoption classes last year and we became close during those classes because of both of your sense of humor and wonderful personalities. We were saddened by this news and are very hopeful that The Lord will see Mark through this and that all of our prayers will be answered.
Our Prayers are with you and your family, We are praying for God’s Great Miracles and we will continue to call on His Name to help speed Mark’s recovery. Love, The Medina Family
December 17, 2008 at 11:03 am
I don’t know your family, but I join together in prayer with the body of Christ. Praying for a full recovery for Mark and peace and hope and rest for his family.
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not abandoned. Struck down, but not destroyed. II Corinthians 4:8
December 17, 2008 at 11:03 am
We have never met, nor have any relation to the family. Just another Brother in Christ who read the story on a mutual friends website. I have a family member who suffered a similar head truama, and thankfully made it through. I know the emotioans and the struggles. Your family is in our thoughts and Prayers. God Bless

Angie & Nolan-
I am a stranger to you but a sister in Christ. I live in ATL and heard about this via Heather Whittaker’s blog. I check this page several times each day and have been continually in prayer for Mark and all of you since I first read about this on Sunday. It has been a reminder to me to cherish every moment I have with my loved ones and to focus on the true meaning of this Christmas season. I know you are grateful to be surrounded by so much love and prayer. We will continue rooting for a full recovery for Mark, praying that the Great Healer will do His work in a mighty way in Mark’s body.
Love in Christ-
Amy

December 17, 2008 at 8:40 pm
My Dear friend Angie:
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. Remember that God does not give you problems you can not handle. Keep your faith and know that God is always there for you. You are the best. Love to you all.
December 18, 2008 at 6:57 am
Angie, Jimmy, Barb, Aunt Bill and family;
You all have been in our prayers since we were told about the accident. God is so good even in our darkest hours He is there, not leaving us for one second. Psalm 30:5 carried me through some of my deepest valleys and I want to share it with you all. “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” It is God in His wonderful grace that allows us to see and know that He is working in our lives, comforting us and giving us His strength to get through each hour. How wonderful is God that in His marvelous love for us He allows our faith to be able to praise Him for all He has done for Mark during these long days of Mark’s healing. Truly, to God be the glory for ever and ever! Love to you all and God’s continual care over you.
December 18, 2008 at 8:07 am
We do not personally know Mark or Angie, but we have met Troy, Noah and Scott through our daughter Kimm. After being riveted by reading the whole website we feel that we now know the courage, fortitude and faith displayed by Mark, Angie and ALL of their family and friends. And it is awesome. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you for a recovery for Mark that can only be determined by faith in Our Lord.

What wonderful news today! Thank God!
I want you to know that the neighborhood will be getting together to pray for you tonight at 7pm. Mark also continues to be prayed for through the RFMC prayer chain.

Angie,
Even though it is Christmas Eve with only 20 minutes to go until Christmas, you are on our hearts and minds. Our prayer is that the Lord would give you strength to endure the days before you and the long difficult hours in the hospital with Mark. Our prayer is that the Lord will perform a miracle in Mark’s healing; That his brain will be restored completely.
We love you,
Connie & Stan
December 25, 2008 at 1:56 am
Angie,
It is almost 2 am Christmas morning–still up getting everything ready–you know how that goes. Check your blog several times a day and I was so encouraged this morning to hear that Mark’s pupil’s dilated some as doctor checked. Even after the doctor’s comments on the last blog entry, it is such a blessing to see the faith and hope those around you continue to have—trusting the Lord for His intervention. We continue to pray for a miracle and are also trusting the Lord for His intervention. Our thoughts and prayers are with you….I know your close family will all be there with you today—-Praying the Lord will chose this time when you are all together for Mark to show a significant sign of improvement.
Love, Marilyn and Rich

Angie and Family-
We heard about your family through our cousin Julie Keefe. We live in Florida and wanted to share with you that our thoughts and prayers are with you. My husband, David, was involved in a work related accident/fall and suffered a TBI with fractures, swelling and bleeding in the brain, spinal fractures, and acute respiratory distress as a result of the accident in March of this year. We’ve been where you are at and we can tell you that we wouldn’t be where we are right now if it wasn’t for the power of prayer, family and a great deal of FAITH. He spent months in ICU and after many trials he was released and continues improving with each passing day. Believe in Miracles b/c through God he proved all of the doctors and nurses wrong and remains one of St. Mary’s hospital’s miracles. If I can offer you any help please don’t hesitate to email me…we may be in Florida but words of encouragement are only a phone call away. Just remember through God all things are possible.
Take Care,
Yiselk, David and Gavin Bell
December 27, 2008 at 6:37 pm
Angie and Nolan, My thoughts are prayers are with you at this very difficult time. I pray to you both that Mark will make a full recovery.
I am a friend of Mark’s from the orthopedic class. I am from Colorado and remember Mark and I were talking about when he lived in Colorado.
Mark, I have been praying for you everyday. Nobody loves you more than God. He is working on you and in you all the time. I pray to God he will heal you and strengthen you in the best of health. I pray that Gods hands are with you and your family. Keep strong Mark. Don’t lose faith. God is working on you in your body, mind, and spirit. Hang in there Mark.
Love, Scott

December 31, 2008 at 5:23 pm
Dear Angie,
I brought a get well card to your office before Christmas for the girls to give to you for Marks speedy recovery. I hope you have received it.
Kathy had told me of the bad accident and I felt so bad for your Husband Mark and you Angie and Nolan, I ran right out to get the card and hand deliver it that same day.
I can see the Lovely photos you have posted in your office and you look like the “All American Poster Family full of Love and Happiness”. They are such incredable photos of you all that they really stand out in my mind. You all look so very happy.
I have been praying for you and Mark and Nolan and I have also brought Mark and your family up in Prayer at our Bible Study.
Tonight is New years Eve, and you are heavy on my mind, and are in my prayers. I will lift Mark up to our Bible Study Group again tonight as we pray for his perfect healing and bring him back to you as good as new, into your arms with a big smile for you Angie and Nolan.
Mark is young and he has a lot of fight in him and I pray that God guide him back to you. With much Love and tears shed for Mark, as I pray for you and Nolan all day today and tonight.
Tonight we will pray that God Brings him perfect health to start your New Years off…It may take a long time for the healing, but I pray that he be as good as new as soon as possible. I hope all has gone well with the Surgery on Dec. 29th. God Bless you all. God is holding Mark in his Arms and he is giving him all of your Love and all of ours as well.
God is holding Mark close to his heart, with the Love of Jesus, we all pray for Marks “Hope Faith and Healing”.

Dear Angie and Nolan:
January 3, 2009
You do not know us. We are good friends of your friends and old neighbors Jim and Gloria Howell, and we are all believers. We all know the power of our Lord Jesus Christ and how he performed miracle after miracle. He knows that Mark needs Him now and Mark is in His care.
God is also guiding the team of physicians to do all in their power to bring him back. Keep your faith strong. You are blessed to have so many Christian and other supporters, and the Lord has heard all of our prayers. Now we have to be patient for God will deliver what will be. God bless you and Nolan and we will continue to pray for Mark’s full recovery. Yours in Christ, Linda and Joe

Dear Angie, Nolan, Barbara and Jim, My Heart goes out to you. I am so sorry for your loss. May the Lord bless you for the decisions you have to make. But just know God is there with you at all times. May you feel His presense. God loves you very much.

Dear Angie lan and Immediate family. Our hearts go out to all of you because of your loss of your loved one. I did’nt know your husband or your family until we met at the intensive care unit. My wife had been admitted to the hospital just days before Mark and she was in Intensive Care for about four weeks and you and I got to know each other throughout our trials. I nearly lost my wife a couple of times due to complications during the procedures (she ginally went in for an Cerbral Aneurysm and after that is was one complication after another.

Dear Angie, Nolan and Immediate Family: (Con’t) I did not finish my comments above because I was having trouble with my computer and accidentally submitted the comments before finishing what I wanted to say, so I will continue from here. “But the good Lord was’nt ready to take my wife home yet and we still have a lot of hurdles to overcome since leaving the rehab unit. My Son and Daughters from different parts ot the Country and myself were continuously following Marks progress while we were there in the SICU waiting room and later thru your website. ( And thanks you very much for the baskets that you distributed to the SICU patients during Christmas, it was very generous of you given the ciircumstances your yourself were in.) We did notice what a fine and holy family you all come from because you were always in prayer and very closely united. Angie, know that my wife and I will keep praying that the good Lord give you Peace, Comfort and Tranquility. We know what pain and loneliness you are endurng, but with time the Good Lord will help you through this loss and you will find comfort knowing he is with our Lord Jesus Christ in Heaven. Tell Mark’s Father and Mother that we will also be praying for them during this great loss. Again we are deeply sorry for your loss, and we will keep you and Nolan in our prayers. God Bless You, Nolan, the Parents, and the rest of your family and know that God is always with you.
January 9, 2009 at 3:32 pm
Dear Angie, I continue to pray for you and Nolan for God to reveal why he brought Mark home with Him. I pray for peace in your heart and God to ease your pain. May our Lord speak to Nolans heart and give him guidance, and to give you both the support and understanding. It’s in Christs name I ask this for you and your son.
May God be with you both….
Love Donna Hayes

Angie – words cannot express the sorrow I feel for your loss. You and Nolan are in my thoughts. I just wanted to say I wish you peace and strength during this very difficult time.
September 21, 2009 at 11:21 pm
Hi again. I commented on your most recent post a little earlier tonight, but I’ve just read your entire blog and I wanted to say more.
After reading it all, I can honestly say that I feel a lot of gratitude for all the family and friends who supported you, and care very much about you and Nolan and what has been happening in your lives.
I hope you won’t think it weird for this to be coming from a stranger. Maybe I’m just having a particularly alone-feeling night. Maybe that’s why I was led to your blog. But, thank you. I cried in a way I haven’t been able to for a long time. Some of your words felt like they came straight out of my heart.
Gratefully,
sunny
