I had this long post written out… but then this song came on and holy cow the tears just wont stop.
This is my heart, guys. This is my heart.
Scattered words and empty thoughts
Seem to pour from my heart
I’ve never felt so torn before
Seems I don’t know where to start
But its now that I feel your grace fall like rain
From every fingertip washing away my pain
I still believe in your faithfulness
I still believe in your truth
I still believe in your holy word
Even when I don’t see, I still believe
Though the questions still fog up my mind
With promises I still seem to bear
Even when answers slowly unwind
It’s my heart I see you prepare
But its now, that I feel, your grace fall like rain
From every fingertip washing away my pain
I still believe in your faithfulness
I still believe in your truth
I still believe in your holy word
Even when I don’t see, I still believe
Well the only place I can go is into your arms
Where I throw to you my feeble prayers well in brokeness
I can see that this was your will for me
Help me to know that you are near
I still believe in your faithfulness
I still believe in your truth
I still believe in your holy word
Even when I don’t see, I still believe
Still believing with you…
I, too, am believing with you. I continue to pray for you and your family.
Believing…
Good for me to hear today too. ((Hugs))
Believing with you Heather!

Hi, Heather. I found your blog last night while I wasn’t sleeping. I read BooMama’s blog and learned about your diagnosis there.
We don’t “know” each other in the bloggy way. But I am praying for your healing.
Back when He formed the Earth, the Lord knew you would be facing this now. He’s bigger than this and will use this to glorify Himself. Look for Him to reveal His power and glory and pure AWESOMENESS to you and your family.
We look forward to hearing good news from you soon.
Heather,
I have been praying for you. I woke up this morning at 3:00 and could not go back to sleep because my heart was aching for you and your family. I went before the Lord on your behalf and will continue to do so until you are through this valley. Keep strong, hold on tight girl… you are not alone.
Blessings

Believing alongside you.
Just keep on believing! My Jehovah Jireh, ropha, and all the other names He is called!! A tower of refuge and strength!!
Praying, and praying some more!

Dear Heather,
I had just put a Believe video movie on my site days for my Pearls of Wisdom on the 11th. It now makes me think of you. I believe….with you my SIC,
In his endless love,
Angel Mama ():)
ahh yes sister that is a good song.
could you please respond with your address? I would like to send you a prayer cloth from my Bible.
Be blessed.
I am believing too, Heather. He is here.
Right there next to you, believing, believing, believing!
If you have some time, I had a song to share with you too, over at Homemaker’s Guide To The Galaxy. I heard it on the radio this morning, and it just seemed to fit so well, for so many things. God’s blessings
Wow Heather, that song gave me goosbumps. I never really have seen the words while listening to it. So powerful. Your heart is so precious, so are you and you remain in my constant prayers.
love,
annie
I believe…
Lord,
I ask today that you would come down over Heather and her family. Hold them close to your heart father. Hold them as they walk on this new water! Father you did not just come to this earth to die for us but you bore stripes upon your back to heal us. I ask father that your healing power come upon Heather. I ask that you heal her completely father. What the enemy meant for harm, that you would turn around for good. That your name would be even more glorified through this process.
In Jesus name! Amen
I found you via BooMama. I send my love, support and prayers for you.
Beautiful song with a profound meaning at this time!
Beleiving and standing in faith with you also!

I know you are probably getting inundated with advice, messages, etc. but here is just one more encouragement. I am a stranger who is praying, especially for Jesus to be your Prince of Peace.
You are so right. Even when everything is so crazy. We’ll believe with you.
God’s richest blessings for you Heather. I believe.
Believing with you…
Heather ~ You don’t know me. I am very new to MOG. But please know that you and your family are in my prayers. I’m in tears now as I’m struggling with so many things in my life right now, but seeing you cling to your faith in this most awful diagnosis has inspired me to embrace my circumstances and move forward. May you be blessed… and may you live long on the earth.
THe Lord Bless You and Keep You
The Lord Make His Face Shine Upon You
And Be Gracious To You
The Lord Turn His Face Toward You
And Give You Peace.
Heather, believing with you and sending love, hugs, and prayers for you, Emma, and your entire family. Thank you for sharing the beautiful song. Your love and faith for Jesus shine!
I believe!! You are an inspiration!
Heather, I left a message and pressed submit, but it disappeared. I hope this doesn’t appear twice, but if it does, you are doubly blessed. I wanted you to know I will keep you, Emma, and your entire family in my heart and prayers. Thank you for sharing the beautiful song. Your love and faith in Jesus shine through you! I am believing with you!
Is it wonderful when you find a song that just says everything you want to say in such a beautiful way?
Still praying for you, and rejoicing at the blessings you have already gotten – peace, belief and an appt at Mayo! PTL!
Heather, I check in from time to time, to see what you are up to. I always see your smiling face over at Moms of Grace.

Linking together in belief
HE is being glorified by you, Heather. You are a beautiful arrow pointing to HIM!
I’m praying and believing with you Heather.
You are a beautiful person. I will pray for you and your family! Praise Jesus!
Hi Heather,
I heard about you today through my daughter who home schools her two children.
I was diagnosed with a rare cancer 3 years ago and I receive my care at Mayo Clinic. You will get the best care there! It is such an amazing place!
I wanted to let you know I’ll be keeping you in my prayers but also to let you know about a couple of things that may help you financially. We just learned about Angel Flight this past year. They will fly you to Mayo Clinic and back free of charge. Plus you can stay at Hope lodge free of charge since you are getting treatment for cancer there.
The link for Angel Flight is;http://www.angelflight.com/
and the link for the Rochester Hope Lodge is;
http://www.cancer.org/docroot/COM/content/div_Midwest/COM_11_2x_Hope_Lodge_in_the_Midwest.asp
We went through everything we had in savings, second mortgage and end up in bankruptcy due to medical bills over 3 years so I know the financial strain. I hope these links will help you.
If you have any questions about Mayo Clinic or Angel Flight please don’t hesitate to write. I’ve made 19 trips to Mayo in just over 3 years so we know the place well!
You can reach me at MiladyChristina@gmail.com if you have any questions at all.
Again you and your family will be in my prayers!
Christina Hall
I’m believeing with you, and your faith through this has inspired and humbled me.
They say that when you get squeezed is when you really find out what’s in you because it comes oozing out- well girl- it’s quite evident that you are full of your God and His truth!
I just found your blog and read briefly of your story. A friend of mine is a mother of three small children and was diagnosed six months ago with a brain tumor. She has undergone surgery and radiation so far. Her story can be found here http://www.welovekaren.blogspot.com
I just thought you might like to read of a similar story.
May God bless,
Emily G.
Yes!!! We BELIEVE!!
Talk to you soon, amigo
You, me and the Ativan.
Some songs, such as this one, evoke such powerful emotions when we listen to them. I’ve never heard this song until just now but I can see why it speaks to your heart and soul.
I still believe!
May God hold you and your family near and give you strength and courage during these troubled times.
You remain in my prayers, Heather!
Hi Heather… I just want to say that I believe with you too, and am praying. You are a true inspiration.
you are an incredible person – He is already receiving so much glory in your reaction to all this. He is so proud of you.
Love, Leigh
Heather,
We’ve been out of town for the weekend, and I’m just catching up on how you’ve been doing. So glad to read how God’s using music to touch your heart and allow you to express those emotions.
This song has always inspired me, and I am believing right along with you.
Heather:
Your response was unbelievable gracious – much more than what I could have managed. I know you are likely being bombarded with sites to read and such, but, just wanted to share some amazing encouragement from this wonderful lady who had all of the odds against her – but, God is so much bigger than odds! If you get a moment:

She’s an amazing lady, just as you are!! So encouraging!
In prayer,
Shannon
Isn’t that song an encouragement? I’m sure Jeremy Camp didn’t know how many hearts he would strengthen when he wrote it. (And he himself wrote it at such a dark and painful moment in his own life.) But that’s how it is with our God. He is completely trusth-worthy. Even when we don’t understand.
Praying for you, Heather — even though we’ve never met. I live near Mayo. If there’s anything I can do for you while you are here, please let me know. It would be a gift for me to extend God’s hands of grace in this way.
