[...] can read about here. If you aren’t familiar with her story, you can read about it here and here. Her complete dependence on the Lord is her greatest strength, and I am amazed and inspired by her [...]

I don’t believe it picked the wrong girl. I believe God ALLOWED it in your life PRECISELY BECAUSE you are so sold out on HIM. He is allowing YOU to be the TOOL to show the WORLD HIS GLORY. What an honor. He knew that YOU could handle it. He knows that YOUR HEART IS IN THE RIGHT PLACE. He will not give us more than we can handle. He made you strong and He has faith that you will lean on Him and show the world what REAL STRENGTH is.

You know what? I think that God is already confirming to you that this thang indeed picked the wrong girl! I think this whole thing is about ONE thing, dear Heather, and that’s HIS GLORY. I think very soon, it will be gone. And we will be whooping and hollering over it! I wrote in my blog a while back about why God sometimes takes time with things and I compared it to the vultures circling to call attention to what they found. I think God is waiting to let people hear your story AND then HIS GLORY will be seen in you and your sweet family.
Blessings on you and prayer, too! May it be So, Lord!

heather,

just wanted you to know that i have been thinking about you for a few days now. i heard about you through BooMama’s blog and many others too. I think the main thing God is speaking to so many of us about is: the power of prayer. HE is calling us to intercede for you. we don’t know one another, but i’m a m—ary in india and i’m praying for you. your story has traveled 1,000′s of miles.
you AMAZE me & your Love and Faith for God encourages me.

So glad to hear the dizziness is better. That’s SOMETHING, right?

I just thought I’d let you know that no, Lance is not a Christian, although his ex-wife Kristin is quite a strong one! In fact, I believe that was one reason they split to tell you the truth. HOWEVER, there are many, many of us who are still praying that he will one day recognize the true source of his healing and proclaim it far and wide!!! As I am praying you will be doing soon as well! I started to ask when you first announced your tumor if it was the same as Lance’s…weird, huh?

I have not read his book, but have bought it for others. It sounds like maybe I should read it. It sounds like it’s pretty good!

Hope you are feeling better and better!

Each day I have started to write this message and each day I stumble with the words and with my own feelings. You see, 14 years ago, while I was working at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale AZ, I suffered a miscarriage and went for a D&C. I remember a sort of dreamlike expereince in the recovery room, where I could hear voices saying things to me, but couldn’t respond. I woke up 2 days later in the hospital. I had experienced status epilepticus, a series of seizures that nearly took my life. In the work-up to find the source of the seizures, they discoverd I had a brain tumor. Inoperable is what they told me. I was fortunate because the seizures were easily controlled by medication. Here it is now, 14 years later, and the tumor has grown very little. The doctors think it has been there most of my life and is just ‘part’ of me. It may begin to grow at any time. There are no answers. That period of my life was very dark, very scary. I look back on it now and wonder so many things. My heart goes out to you. I feel your pain, I can sense your strength. You amaze me!

Heather,

I just started reading your blog last week as a result of Dawn Z’s post on prayingthemhome. Just wanted you to know that I am praying for you my sister and that God is using you mightily to minister to many, myself included!

2 Corinthians 4:8We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 10We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 11For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body. 12So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you…16Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

It’s almost like the tumour becomes a life on its own, isn’t it? My sister and I named mine “Patty Addy” (short for pituitary adenoma). Now when we talk about “Patty”, we both know “who” we’re discussing without bringing it out in the open… you find ways to cope, that’s for sure. Not that I have gone through ANYTHING like you are….but it’s funny how people often have the same reactions to things….:-)
STILL praying for you daily, He is ALWAYS with you, holding you up.

Heather, I just found your blog and what a blessing you are!

What a privlege to read your thoughts and about your confidence and faith in our Lord! You are glorifying Him in your words and attitude–I’m sure He couldn’t be more pleased with you.

I will be standing with you in prayer dear sister.

Most of us think about a mountain being shaken and falling into the sea. But I think about Moses going up to the mountain to meet with God and the voice of the Lord causing the mountain to shake, Moses to glow and the people to run in fear. For you”Joyful Spirit” as you meet with God on the mountains and the gound beneath you begins to quake, my prayer is that the Cancer will flee from God’s presence just as the people did! You GLOW GIRL!
Because of Jesus, Bobbie

“YOU GO GIRL!”

GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU! It is so moving to read what you write, to know that you are standing in the face of adversities the likes of which I have never imagined and ‘hear’ the conviction and faith dripping off every single word. I don’t doubt that you have your moments, but I praise GOD for all the ways that He is providing for you, physically and emotionally and spritually. I pray that GOD would rain down blessing upon you and your family, today especially in the form of financial support and prayers, but also for each day that you travel on this journey that he would bless you in many unexpected ways with your spiritual growth and your physical health and traveling and in every sort of thing.
Cling to what is good and right and true. Cling to God and His word; He will lead you through this “valley of the shadow of death” and He will comfort you with his supernatural peace and joy. God bless you.

What Cancer (and Tumors) Cannot Do
Cancer (and tumors) are so limited …
They cannot cripple love,
They cannot shatter hope,
They cannot corrode faith,
They cannot eat away at peace,
They cannot destroy confidence,
They cannot kill friendship,
They cannot shut out memories,
They cannot invade the soul,
They cannot reduce eternal life,
They cannot quench the spirit,
They cannot lessen the power
of the resurrection.

I found your blog through my sister in-law after she started one for my sweet baby niece Halle Grace – born at 23 weeks.
She is a true, living testament, as is your daughter of the miracles of God. How precious it must be to look into your daughters eyes each day and know that she is a gift, wonderfully formed by God and given to you to give you a glimpse of the hope and future that God holds for you and your family. Keep putting on that armor of the Lord Heather…everyday…even when it’s hard…your brothers and sisters in Christ will help you arm yourself against the fear and doubt that will come. You are a present day Job – and God will uphold you by His righteous right hand – Job 1:8
Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.” There is no one like you Heather, you are blameless and upright. Keep on livin’ in the word.

Take THAT, you vile tumor, you! Picked the wrong girl, indeed… and you’ve got the right God to prove it. That tumor is TOAST, I tell you!
