If you have good insurance it will be ok, but its expensive.

good luck and God bless!

I just recently found your blog thru someone else’s. Reading your posts really made me rethink my own situation. We ourselves have had a few setbacks (that to us are huge)but after reading yours my own issues seem almost trivial. I think God brought me to your blog for a reality check. I am praying for your family, and for you. By the way you have the most beautiful family. Your children are adorable and you are beautiful! Your children are lucky to have you. If it is ok I am going to pass your blog onto my christian homeschooling group so that they can also pray for your family.

Hang in there you have a huge support group here in cyberspace.

Take Care,
Jenna

You are loved and prayed for, my sister. Know that beyond any doubts!

God is obviously doing a mighty work through you dear sister, and you are being such a faithful servant.

I had brain surgery 8 years ago when I had a pituitary brain tumor removed. It was, amazingly enough, one of the most peaceful times of my life because I was drawn much, much closer to the Lord. He used it for His glory and my family & I learned so much during that particular trial. He IS the Great Physician!

I’ve thought about you so many times Heather, and you will continue to be in my thoughts, but more importantly in my prayers.

I know it doesn’t feel like it, but compared to Heaven, this brain tumor and all that it may or may not imply IS light and temporary. Through it, God Himself is working something eternal for YOUR good.

In this case, what is seen is your physical circumstances, what is unseen is the end result, which lies firmly in the hands of the Father.

You’re right — you don’t have to like your circumstances, the Bible says Jesus “despising the shame” went to the Cross, but you do have to remember that something greater than these troubles is coming! Something beautiful, glorious, eternal, and everlasting that you cannot lose is the end result of whatever is coming.

I don’t understand how you feel, because I’m not there. I don’t know what it’s like to face death. I don’t know what it’s like for my child to face death as a baby. I don’t know. But Jesus does. His heart is more broken for you than yours is. You are right, He is not only with you, He is HOLDING you. And His arms are HUGE.

One thing I do know: God’s word is TRUE. Compared to it, nothing else is. Cling to the Word of God, and speak it’s words out loud to yourself if you have to in order to keep the fear and lies of the enemy at bay. Those are your Father’s words to you. Lay hold of them.

I know you already are, but I guess I just want to say something to help in anyway…I hope I have.

God will never leave you. He will walk with you every step of the way. He will protect and guide your family, always.

You remain in my prayers!

I have been trying to think of the “right words to say” to you. Today I came across this during my devotional reading from Beth Moore’s “Praying God’s Word Day by Day”. I hope it encourages you!

“Sometimes God may prioritize performing a miracle on our hearts and minds over a miracle concerning our circumstances.”

Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in You, my Lord. I will be joyful in God, my Savior. For You, Lord are my strength. You make my feet like the feet of a deer. You enable me to go on the heights (Hab. 3:17-19). How inconceivable but true that You can take me to heights far exceeding the depths I have known. Father, continue to bring me along so that I can rejoice in my sufferings, because I know suffering produces perseverance (Rom5 5:3).

I am so glad that you are writing your deepest thoughts, and at times feel like a mom reading a diary. I know you will go back and forth, up and down your blog pages. And the scriptures will be the first thing the Holy Spirit will bring to your remembrance. They are life giving little sister and wholy true. Isaiah 26 says You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you.

And Phil 4:8,9 says 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.

Peace is there even with the fear, with the tears, with the whys. That is your strength. Peace I give to you not as the world gives says your Jesus that loves you, Your jesus that will not forsake you, and will not forsake your sweet babies either.

Today I pray peace for you. Be covered in the Peace of the Lord.
Because of Jesus, Bobbie
