“My child, attend to my words; incline your ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart. For they are LIFE unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” (Proverbs 4:20-23)
No matter what the doctors tell me, I will seek you. I will hide your words within my heart, especially while I am sitting in front of them. I will lean on you when I feel weak. I will turn to you when I feel lost. I will cling to you when I feel hopeless.
Off we go to beat this thing….

Happy birthday to your son. I’m glad you were able to celebrate before you left. Be sure to tell the pilot to fly safe! He’s transporting an important person, the daughter of the King and our friend!!!! We’ll keep praying.
My prayers are with you! I lift you before God believing in His healing power!
And you have us here to back you up! Prayers for a safe flight! ((hugs))
Lots of people walking along in spirit.
Love, Michelle
Hi Heather! I came to your site from another of the Christian women’s blogs that I read daily. My family and I have been and will be praying for you! I have been so excited and encouraged by the GOOD things going on with you! Isn’t it great to see how God is at work, even through the yucky parts of life?! I hope you get a chance to enjoy your trip a little bit too. Take care, and we will keep on prayin’!
Heather,
You have so many people praying you through this! You are so loved and I count it a blessing to be able to lift you in prayer.
Go get ‘em girl!!! We are praying HARD!!!
Everytime I visit here, the Benediction prayer just comes to mind each time:
May The Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.
Just another stranger stopping by to let you know they are praying for you.
Praying for you and your family. I know how it is to be seperated from your loved ones. I’m praying that when we hear from you there is great news.
Yes Heather-go and beat the daylights out of the invader!!It can’t just park in your brain, it needs to leave forever.Praying praying sweet Heather:~~))
Continuing to keep you in my prayers.
Continuing in prayer. May you find many blessings in your comings and your goings.
Go forth and God speed! Prayers for safety, strength, answers, peace, and healing!
Heather, I have been lifting you up in prayer and asking many others to do the same. I know every word to that song (Strong Tower) ….but it has never touched me as deeply as it did tonight! You go girl!! Keep pressing hard into God. And know that you have many sisters out here that are carrying you (and your husband and your children) in prayer!
Wishing you the best, praying for you. Awaiting your news….breathlessly…..:-)
Faith is not believing God can.
Faith is believing God will.
I am praying with you and for you and your family as you beat this.
Indeed! God is our strong tower. May His face be that which you see.
Love in Christ Jesus our Lord.
You go with many hearts and prayers following you. We’re wishing you all the best Heather and praying for wisdom, peace and the presence of God in a powerful way.
Praying for all of you in the coming week, both at home and in MN. I’ll be waiting for updates, dear dear friend.
God is in control. Rest in His Grace.
Love love love

Praying for you daily.
I’ve been praying for you and think of you many times throughout each day. Please keep us updated and remember that you are a child of the King. He is always there with you no matter what. Rest in the shelter of His arms.
Love and prayers go with you. May you feel His presence alongside you each moment.
i am praying for you. you are loved.
All you need is faith to move those mountains.. stay strong!

Dear Heather,
My life has been touched and changed significantly by a brain tumor. My youngest sister had an astrocytoma since she was 9. The faith you are demonstrating reminds me so much of hers as she fought her tumor. She clung on to Jesus throughout the times of remission and times of treatment. Although she was never healed on earth, she is complete at the side of her Savior now. I don’t think many people understand the numbness you feel when you hear the news that you have a tumor, how your whole life passes before your eyes and you realize that as of that moment – nothing will ever be the same. I will pray, pray and keep praying for you and your family. We’ve never met but my heart goes out to you and your family so much.
Praying in AZ,
Silvana
I love what DAvid said….”Faith is not believing God can. Faith is believing God WILL.” How true. God IS your strong tower and he will be with you, as will the thousands of others out here in blogger land and the real world, lifting you up in prayer.
Praying for God to give you strength to face the days ahead and praying for complete healing for you.
Dana (sunshine)
Amen, Amen & Amen! I’m praying for you all the time. I can’t wait to hear good news!
Praying, still praying every day. May you have safe travel and strength for each step of this journey, Heather.
Hugs!
I am sending prayers with you.
I’m keeping you and your entire family, and doctors, in my prayers as you begin this journey tomorrow.
Heather, I found your blog thru baby Ashley’s blog. I just want you to know that even here in a small East Texas town, somebody is thinking about you and praying for you. You are such an inspirational writer to me, who struggles with my committment. I am always lifted by your words. You are a very special person and I wish you the very best. God Bless you and your family!
Tonight a prayer for you from the words of one of my favorite songs and blessings..
The Lord bless you and keep you
The Lord make His face to shine upon you
And be gracious
Unto you.
The Lord lift up the light
Of His countenance upon you
And give you peace
And give you peace
Amen
Praying for travel mercies and for all good news.
Hope you and your husband get the rest you need. I will be in prayer with you during the next few days (especially).
Be strong.
Praying in Wisconsin.
God bless you…
and heal you, dear Heather.
Still lifting you up in prayer. God is able and he will! I know you believe this too. Phil. 4:13 You can do it!
Hi Heather,
You don’t know me, but your story touched me. My family will be praying for you during this difficult time. You are such a strong woman and I know the Lord loves and is watching over you and your family.
God bless you!
praying praying praying!!
blessings,
karla
Keeping you in my thoughts.
Prayers for your safety and peace as you journey towards victory. Praying for good news and discernment. Praying for the doctors. Praying that all evil that binds you or fear that binds you is broken and chained in the Abyss. May the Lord set your feet on a straight path towards healing.
Keeping you in my prayers!
In Him~
Karen
Heather,
There are so many people praying for you. The Lord has to be smiling from ear to ear boasting on you. There is quite a journey ahead of all of you and many are watching. May God be glorified.
I am certain this TV specail will probaly not be scripturally sound, but it is so timely I can’t help but think perhaps there is a bit of information in it for you and Mark.
The discovery channel is hosting a special on May 6th called Living with Cancer. It is on at 8:00. Inspiration and direction perhaps.
May you have Peace like a River in your soul!
Because of Jesus, Bobbie
As you travel through fields of doubt and uncertainty this week I will be praying for a clear path for you filled with hope, and the knowledge that your doctors at Mayo will be guided by the hands of the true healer, Jesus Christ.
I know from experience at Mayo Clinic(19 trips in the last 3 years) that your doctors at Mayo will help put your mind at rest and help you navigate this journey. They are very compassionate and experienced. I know you are in good hands both going to Mayo and in the hands of God who will see you through this.
My prayers have not ceased since I first heard about you and they will continue as long as you need them.
As the hymn says,”Be Not Afraid, I go before you always, come follow me and I will give you rest.”
Surrounding you in prayers, Christina
Believing for miracles for you. Travel safely. You are in our prayers.
Heather,
Wish I’d gotten here sooner! Here it is only a couple of hours prior to you bording the plane, so I’m sure you won’t find my message until after you land in Minnesota! I could have met you at the airport and given ya’ll a ride in.
My husband had his crainiotomy at Mayo in 2001 and is doing really well today.
Always remember that it is your health. You are in charge. Ask all of the questions you have. Do not ever let anyone make you feel you are wrong to question the actions they think you should take and if you feel something isn’t right, stop it and get another opinion. We often think that because they have the medical degree, we should automatically do everything they tell us. Listen to your heart.
Hugs. You’ll be in my prayers.
Praying for your appts. today.
You are ministering to me through your faith!
Prayers for you and you family for safe travels hopeful news and for your family and friends waiting at home for news that they keep praying as well.
I pray to our Almighty Father, please look after all of us. Especially Heather.
And….we go with you in spirit.
May these words be filled, not with empty promise….but with hope in the One who leads the way!
Diane
Praying hard for you especially today Heather. May God hold you and your loved ones close….
Love in Christ
Kelly
