		<description>Hello my name is Tabatha Runnels and I have been living with brain cancer for 8 years (that I know of).  I have minor seizures, pain, ect.. but this is not my life.  My life is my two children, my husband, my job as a school teacher and most importantly my relationship with church and Jesus. Every person in my life help me make it through each day in pain or not.  I have not been given a time limite or a way to cure the problem.  It is not big enough for chemo or radiation but I already have to much damage from the surgery that took place a year ago. So, I am at a stopping place, nothing can be done be for me at this time but, no matter; each day is great.  I start each day like a problem isn&#039;t in my life.  I don&#039;t cry about this problem.  Crying will not change the fact that I have cancer.  I turn to God.  I ask for him to watch over throughout the day and go on like I am &quot;normal&quot; and that is what I am.   :grin:</description>

		<description>I found your link through Laura at Organizing Junkie. I just want you to know that I am praying for you. One of the biggest reminders that has helped me through some difficult things in life is to remember that it was no surprise to God. For me that was comforting to remember that he is still God. Praying for you.

		<description>Heather, you have blown me away. I am reading all of your posts each day, but most of the time I am too overwhelmed with emotion to type a comment. 
I want to leap through my computer and give you a hug! You are blessing ME with your words of faith &amp; trust. And man, oh man, that throne image has sent me reeling!

Is it okay if I link to this post? I am just in awe. 

Praying for you sweetie....</description>

		<description>Heather,

I had visited you from the blog party and now came over from Michelle at Between Diapers and Dishes.  Thank you for sharing what is in your heart.  My heart just melted when you said you had peace, because I know that peace can only come from the Holy Spirit.  He must be all over you right now.  What a feeling.

Take care!
Amy</description>

		<description>Heather,
I am truly praying endlessly for you. This is a tough thing to go through, as I lost my mother to a brain tumor when I was 9. There is truly peace with God, knowing that the Father is going to take care of you and your family. I am happy to hear you will be taken care of at such a fabulous hospital and wish you the best and send you a great big hug, even though we do not know each other.

Amo in dies Semper
(Love in Christ Always)

		<description>You have so beautifully described God&#039;s peace...&quot;and the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension will guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus&quot;.  A guarded heart and a guarded mind...the elements of His peace.  I pray God envelopes you in His presence...I believe He already has.  You will be lifted up out of this...I believe it...I believe it.  I think of the song which says...&quot;In his time of trouble, God will uphold him...God will preserve him...God will sustain him...In his time of trouble God will lift him up, so rejoice your steps are ordered of God&quot;.

Rejoicing in the midst of stuff...it is a God thing!

Lots of love to you...Cheryl</description>

		<description>Heather, I don&#039;t think I&#039;ve posted before on your blog, but I have read it from time to time.  This little community is amazing and shows the love of God in a great way!  The day you first posted about your tumor, it was on at least three different blogs that I read daily.  I was heartbroken to hear about it, but have been inspired daily by you since then.  And I agree with your husband, his wife is cool!  Praying for you!

		<description>Sweet Heather,
Your faith blesses my socks off!  You are so eloquent in expressing what God has done about all of this...your words paint a vivid picture of His faithfulness and His provision and His watchfulness.  
He has given us an amazing ability to cope with life&#039;s hardships, blows, and shocks.  He has blessed you with such insight that it keep You in His perfect peace.
I pray that you have so many walking through this valley with you, with so many flames of prayer going up to Heaven, that the darkness can&#039;t even exist!  That you have so much light from His love shining through others that the enemy&#039;s blackness cannot even touch you.
I&#039;m also praying for your parents.  And your husband and your children.
I don&#039;t know you, but I love you, Heather.  I truly do.</description>
