Not a prayer is said in our house when you are not mentioned. My kids call you "Miss Heather"... as if they know you. They saw your brain xrays and asked a lot of questions. "What is a tumor, mommy?" I know you are answering those questions to your babies, too. Just remember that the God who knit you together in your mama's womb is the great physician and the great healer. I am praying that His comfort is with you, His peace is in your heart, His grace fills the lives of your entire family, and that you REST in His arms right now. I'm sorry you are scared... that is a normal first reaction. But please believe that His love will pull you through. Hope you are going to hear a lot better news soon... and that you will feel confident in the path that God leads you down next. He is carrying you. Rest in that.

I also wanted you to know that the way that you write about handling this situation is so awesome. How happy Jesus must be, seeing you setting an example for all of us to follow, even your children. Your writings have led me to do this....live like I am dying, because, you know, we all are dying. All of these interruptions in our lives are not interruptions, but opportunities to act Christ-like. And, I need to do better. Thanks for sharing so that I could see.

I pray that you would bring this woman to perfect health if it be Your will. I pray that all future MRIs will be shockingly blank in the frontal lobe (except for what's SUPPOSED to be there--LOL).
