Thank you for so beautifully sharing your heart–you are such an inspiration! Father God, thank You for how You are working in Heather’s heart and life. Please, keep holding her close to You and filling her with Your love and peace. And, please, continue to work out all the details for her doctor’s visits, etc. You are our Helper! Lord, if it so be Your will, please, simply touch upon the brain tumor and take it completely away, making her completely well. Thank You, Lord! In Jesus’ precious name, Amen

Isa 41:10
Do not fear for I am with you
Do not anxiously look about you, for I AM YOUR GOD.
I will strengthen you
Surely I will help you
Surely I will uphold you with MY RIGHTEOUS RIGHT HAND…….
His fingerprints are on you and He holds you.
Praying for you and yours!

I found your blog through Mayhem & Miracles just in time to pray for you. I’m so sorry that all of this is happening to you. But you are being loved and prayed for by people you will never even meet. May God’s peace transcend all the fear and take root inside your heart, soul, and mind as you walk this journey.

Heather- I’m learning to allow the emotions to come and be heard, but not over take me too much. They do, though. And yes, the guys really got the short end on “in sickness and in health”. But, they are God fearing/loving guys and they know we are being Held. I wish I could take this all away from you. All of it. But, I can hold your hand and walk through it with you. We both need miracles. I’m here for you. Whenever. My number is in email. Even at 2 in the morning. Maybe we can laugh or cry together.

Heather,

Please know I am praying along with all the others! Just continue to stand on God’s powerful word, because it will never pass away. The heavens and earth are going to pass away, but NOT God’s word, which is His will.

PLEASE DO NOT name that thing in your head. That will only give it permission to stay!

**sigh** I just thought blogging was fun…a way to express myself…and then I read your blog, Heather, and I see it as so much more. God is using the simpleness of a blog to connect women of faith all across the globe, in a hedge of prayer, for women like you. I cannot even begin to imagine your life, but my heart aches for you. Lord, pour out Your storehouse of blessing on Heather and her precious family today. Let every step they take be saturated in Your presence. Let Your love so flood them that they drip it on everyone they come in contact with today. I know Heather’s faith is strong…You’ve tested it time and time again. I know You won’t waste a single drop of her suffering…that You will gain great glory from all she and her family goes through…But, Lord, how I so wish she suffered no more. I pray for healing. I pray for strength. I pray for laughter in abundance. I pray for lengthened life. I pray for a quality of life that puts tumors and illness to shame. I pray for surprise blessings along her path. I pray for finances to abound. I pray for courage from You…give her the heart of a lion in this battle. I pray for miracles that take our breath away. I pray above all that Your will be fulfilled in her life. I pray that you give this precious family eyes to see You in ways we only long to see. I pray for her husband, and for his grieving heart…for any fear, anxiety, longing he has…Meet it, dear Lord, in Your abundant provision. We all need to remember to number our days and to redeem the time…thank You for Heather’s example to me as a woman of God. Forgive my simple whining about my troubles. Make me mindful of others and their needs…Lord, please…bless my sweet sister today. We need a miracle, Lord…In Jesus’ name…amen.

I don’t believe in Karma either! Thanks for being so open and honest and allowing us to take this painful journey with you. I love you.

Sweetie… Rather than name your tumor… speak to it!!! Make it very clear that… It will never shatter the relationship you have with the Lord… but rather strengthen it!!! It may be ever present… but the Lord’s presence is greater and He is in FULL CONTROL OF YOUR JOURNEY !!!

Just as Job… The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, everything he has is in your hands, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.” You see we are reminded that the enemy wants to kill, steal, and destroy our very existence. However, God has yet another blessed plan for our lives far beyond our ability to imagine!!!! The story of Job is one that reminds us of who really is in control of our lives from beginning to end and honestly reminds Satan of who is truly in control of His future!!!!!!!

The emotions your facing today are emotions that will carry you through!!! Never feel as though your wrong for feeling such things… it’s what reminds us of who we are and who we need… Thank You Jesus!!!!!! God knows your heart… He is right there with you… EVERY STEP OF THE WAY!!!

Thank You Heavenly Father for our Sister Heather. May you bless her and her precious family. May they feel your presence even in the midst of the most quiet moments. Thank you God for bringing together so many to comfort and stand together in agreement for Heather!!

**Lots of Sisterly Hugs**

Thinking of you today.

This post mentions for the second time that some people might think that you deserve this or that it is Karma or something….

Who in their right mind believes in that? I would hope that nobody has said anything along those lines to you. I can’t imagine that anyone would.

Everyone is rooting for you, praying for you and thinking about you. I honestly don’t believe that anyone out there is thinking that your family is getting some kind of payback. That thought is ridiculous.

You have much love and support.

I woke up this morning thinking about and praying for you and your family. Your laughter and strength in the midst of all of this is an inspiration.

I’m continuing to lift you up in prayer.

Heather,
Just checking on you and sending prayers up for you in the name of Jesus.

I had a co-worker when I was a nurse who also was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. Her name was Debbie and they discovered it at the end of her first pregnancy. They had to do the workup after her daughter was born, when they confirmed the tumor. That was in 1997. My dad had a heart attack two years ago and recovered on my former cardiac floor at the hospital. I was overjoyed to see Debbie there, still working, still taking each day from God as a gift just as we all should do.
Her daughter would have been 8yo by then, which made me smile and cry at the same time.

Our God is good and nothing that we face in this life catches Him by surprise. I know that is much easier for me to say than for you to FEEL right now. I think that’s partially why it is so crucial for us to share one another’s burdens. We’re all here to pray you through the road ahead. So many are praying, Heather. Remember that in the most difficult moments.
Blessings,
~Toni~

Heather, I found your site yesterday 5 minutes before you were to be at the doctor’s office…I immediately started praying for you! The way I found your site…it HAD to be God!! I am praying for you on a regular basis. My DH was diagnowed with prostate cancer in March and it was extensive, and had spread out of the prostate capsule. His PSA has started to rise, post surgery and he will most likely have to undergo radiation. His brother (actually 2 of them, also had it). You go through the stages but with God it is SO defferent than I imagine it would be without Him. Are we sad? Not really. We are loving God and trusting in what He has for us. We look at EVERYTHING so differently and we are truly taking time to enjoy life together and with our family.(My DH is 55 and we have 5 children, the youngest is 14 and still at home)

When he was diagnosed I immersed myself in God’s word. I walked around in a daze with an ipod listening to sermons,Christian songs (I LOVE “Held”) and the Bible on it… within a week I was totally through with the “stages” and rejocing that God was totally in control and whatever He wanted, we wanted. The peace was unbeleiveable and it continues! I am praying for you today, but do not waste a minute in worry. This too shall pass!! (Don’t you dare name it..it won’t be here that long and certainly doesn’t deserve a name!!!)
Love in Our Sweet Lord Jesus who holds you in His hands, Viv

There you go again. I am amazing. In the midst of this horrible attack on your family, your first thougth is GOd is good. That inspires me in ways that I can never address.

I think of the verse (paraphrased as I don’t have the handle withe me) … what the enemy means for death and destruction, God means for good.

I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers.

Blessings,

mary
