Angie and the family will be meeting with the doctor shortly to assess Mark’s status. Please keep praying for Angie that the Lord will give her wisdom and peace as she will more than likely have to make some challenging decisions very soon.

Angie, Nolan, Barb and Jim, Matt, Amanda and Amy—You are in our/my prayers for wisdom and comfort during this most difficult season. My mother and I went through similar decisions making situations with my older sister in 2005. My heart is totally there with you….trust the Lord for His will. He and He alone is our Shield and Strength.
This is for Nolan….God loves your Daddy very much. About 2000 years ago God allowed His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die for sinful men ( and ladies, boys and girls) on the Cross. Jesus did not stay in the tomb where people laid him, but was taken to heaven (resurrected) by the Father where He is today waiting for all of us who believe in Him, by faith.
Nolan, I know that you are sad and maybe are wondering why God allowed this to happen to your Daddy but look at it this way….there is a day coming when everybody that ever put their trust in Jesus will live together FOREVER. In Heaven we will be with Jesus and those that we loved here on earth.
Not only does Jesus love your Daddy but also YOU! He will give you the strength to be a helper for your Mom and Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and cousins, etc. Although you can’t see HIM, Jesus is always there for YOU.
Consider yourself Hugged, Cindy Soto

To all the Lamberths – (that I know) Angie, Nolan, Jim, Barbara, Matt, Mandy, Amy, Carolyn, Gary, Troy, Noah and all the ones I don’t know – My heart is heavy this morning for all of you. I thank you for the updates and giving me the priviledge to pray for you at this time. Today may be a day of difficult decisions on your part and I KNOW that God alone will give you the right peace and comfort in any decision that you make with His guidance. I also know that God alone knows the hour and time that He comes to receive us into His Kingdom. I pray for the medical team as they advise you in earthly medical decisions, but rest assured that God is STILL IN CONTROL! My prayer now is that you will feel His Holy Spirit as He surrounds you with this peace and love.

From New Mexico straight to God’s ears, I lift your family up. I don’t know you but have been following all of this through your website and blog. Everyday I get on to see what the latest is. Today my heart is heavy for all of you. I know what it’s like to make those tough decisions regarding a family member having gone through it numerous times with my family. I pray for peace that passes all understand, wisdom and courage. I especially lift up Nolan. Having lost a parent at a young age myself, I know what he’s going through. I pray that God will give you the right words to say to Nolan in a way that he can understand. You are all in my continued thoughts and prayers today and everyday.
January 8, 2009 at 12:43 pm

Today brings new hopes, new fears, but I like air1’s verse of the day john 16:33 “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in Me, here on earth you will have many trials & sorrows, but take heart, for I have overcome the world.” Angie, at this time I can’t come anywhere near what you are going through. I just know God is there with you & the doctors. I pray with all my heart & soul for you to have peace & wisdom with the coming questions about Mark. In this stage, we know God is in control. I pray for you & your day to be centered around our Great Physican’s plan. Numbers 6:24-26

While we wait at the hospital, surrounding Mark with love and prayers, God’s presence is evident. We are hurting and sad beyond description, but we are relying on the truth of the Word of God. We have assurance that He knows what He is doing. We have assurance that He will never leave us nor forsake us. This morning I watched Angie comfort a young woman whose father is near death. Only the Lord can do that through a willing heart. Thank you for your prayers, they are still greatly needed and appreciated!

After reading what Carolyn wrote, I am so moved by your tender, loving, unselfish, willing heart. You are the woman that Mark deeply loved and the woman that God says, “Well done, my good and faithful servant”. My prayers continue to be with you, Nolan and the family. I send my love to all.

January 8, 2009 at 3:54 pm
As I have read Mark’s story it makes my heart hurt. I have been at a bed side of a dying one and was told the chances. But just keep in mind those are only number’s and God does not do things just because of a number. Just let god lead the way and you will know in your heart what to do next. I guess what I am trying to say is doctors are human as well and they can not tell you what will or will not happen only God has that answer. So as hard as it is dont let their number’s rule in your mind leave it open for God to show his way.
January 8, 2009 at 3:59 pm

January 8, 2009 at 4:00 pm
For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him.
He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress;
I shall not be shaken.
On God rests my salvation and my glory; my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah
Psalm 62:5-8
God I ask that you would bring your peace to Angie at this very moment. May you penetrate her very soul with your Holy Spirit and giver her a deep strength. Draw her into your refuge and protect her heart.
January 8, 2009 at 4:02 pm

We work with Angie at the City of Corona. Our names are Stacy, Marilyn (from Building) and Lupita (from Planning). We have been praying and fasting for Mark and Angie. We were thinking of coming out tomorrow after work to pray and visit, but weren’t sure if that would be appropriate right now, as we don’t want to be in the way. Please let us know.

Asking the Lord for his mercy and compassion, in Jesus name
January 8, 2009 at 5:08 pm
“Challenging Decisions” yes, but…
As challenging as these decisions are, the great news is that what is at stake is when Mark gets to go to glory. Know this, as a child of God he IS going, maybe today, maybe tomorrow maybe next week or ??? only God knows. 2 Peter 3:8-9 reminds us: “but you must not forget, dear friends, that a day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day.” We all want Mark for decades to come, but in 2 Corinthians 12:2-4 the Apostle Paul described where Mark is going as “paradise”, “astounding” and pretty much “too cool for words.” He said; “I was caught up into the third heaven fourteen years ago. Whether my body was there or just my spirit, I don’t know; only God knows. But I do know that I was caught up into paradise and heard things so astounding that they cannot be told.”
Love you all,

I personally dont know you, but friends of the Christmas’s. Been praying for your family since I heard about the accident. My professor read this
and I thought of your family. Its a hymn by Annie J. Flint.
” He giveth more grace as our burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength as our labors increase;
To added afflictions He addeth His mercy,
To multiplied trials He multiplies peace.
When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources
Our Father’s full giving is only begun.
Fear not that thy need shall exceed His provision,
Our God ever yearns His resources to share;
Lean hard on the arm everlasting, availing;
The Father both thee and thy load will upbear.
His love has no limits, His grace has no measure,
His power no boundary known unto men;
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again.”
May His Angels surround you.

January 8, 2009 at 5:20 pm
Father, in Jesus’ name, I come before your throne of grace and mercy in behalf of Mark and Angie… I ask of your abundant love and compassion, to look upon the condition of my brother Mark. I pray Father, through your son Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for our sins, who also died so that we might live, that you release your healing upon the body of Mark right now. We command your angels to minister peace upon Angie as she faithfully waits upon you and trusts in you fully. Together with the multitudes praying for Mark’s healing and deliverance from this seemingly worsening fate, we look upon you and say, “all is well… all is well”… we commit this day unto you, Father, in the name of your son Jesus our Lord and savior… Amen.
Psalms 73:25-26: Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
January 8, 2009 at 5:26 pm
Angie: I have been there. Rely on God for your strength, he will sustain you through whatever he brings you to.
January 8, 2009 at 5:35 pm
Angie-
I found this website today through a friend on Facebook. I want you and your family to know I am praying for y’all intensely. See, August 17, 2007 my first cousin/ best friend was T-boned by a drunk driver and care flighted to the nearest trauma hospital. As we arrived at the hospital the doctors told us there was severe damage to the inner part of a her brain, which was irreversible. They told us she would not make it through the night. We were devastated….the news literally took me straight to me knees mourning and that’s when I started to pray harder than I had ever prayed before. Well Jackie made it through the night, but the next day we had more devastating news…the drs told us if she made it past the next 24 hours she would more than likely be a vegetable the rest of her life. Praying never ceased from myself or the rest of my family and by this time we had their whole hometown community praying and her college community. We literally lived our lives minute by minute, update by update.
Slowly, but surely her so-called irreversible brain trauma starting getting better. Today, she is still not totally healed but she has made SOOO much progress. She still continues to make progress and now the doctors are saying she is going to make a full recovery. We just have to be patient and continue to pray…which hasn’t stopped since August 17, 2007.
Reading the updates about your husband took me back to the ICU waiting room. Every update was nearly identical to Jackie’s.
Never underestimate the power of Prayer and our Amazing Lord. Without him, I don’t think Jackie would have made near as much progress as she has or even be here today. That is why I am adding your husband, you and your family to the top of my prayer list.
Our saying for Jackie and her situation is EXPECT MIRACLES. I am EXPECTing MIRACLES for your husband, not just praying for them.
To those of you who write the updates on this website:
You really have no idea the impact you are making on everyone who reads this and how much you are helping. I didn’t know how to create a website for updates, so for Jackie I created a myspace page and updated it daily sometimes hourly. Since Jackie is back home and no longer in hospitals, and I have gone back to school, her dad has taken over the updates. But still today, I have people I don’t even know and have never met before recognize my name from her page and thank me for keeping them updated. It may not seem like y’all are doing much but y’all are moving mountains. I thank you so much.
“‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” -Jeremiah 29:11
(This verse really kept us going through Jackie’s hard days and actually still today)

I hope and pray for strength and conviction in all that you have to face right now, Angie. It is true that in times like this we can deal with more than we ever imagined – He holds us up and helps us endure these trials.
Please remember to take care of you while struggling with this. And if you are like me you will also find that your son will help you to get through all of this. He will be your ‘rock’ just like my son was for me!
Will be praying for you and yours in hopes that in some way it will help you all to do what is best.
Love and peace to you all,
Grannie in Florida

Angie, Nolan, Marks mom, and all the Lamberth Family,
Our hearts are breaking with yours tonight. We know there are no words that can help comfort you. We can’t understand it now but we have to trust that Gods plan for our lives has reason and we must trust in him and never lose faith. We didn’t know you and Mark as well as we would have liked but we know that he has had an impact on many lives including our own. Angie, your strength and faith through all of this is something we can all hope to have. We pray tonight for you all, that you would have peace and that you would cling to God.
Heavenly Father we pray that you would wrap your loving arms around Angie and Nolan. Protect them, give them the love and strength they will need to make it through each day that lies ahead of them.
