The hymn posted on boomama’s blog today says it all:

He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater
He sendeth more strength when the labors increase
To added affliction, he addeth his mercy
To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace
When we have exhausted our store of endurance
When our strength has failed and the day’s half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources
Our Father’s own giving has only begun
His love has no limit
His grace has no measure
His power has no boundaries known unto men
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus
He giveth and giveth and giveth again.

Praising God

Praise God! To “stand” is a powerful position in the Spirit realm! You are standing in your salvation, healing, restoration and so much more! All we have to do is “stand” and know that He is God! He is working all things out for you Heather!

Yippee!

14 jan margrave May 6, 2007 at 1:48 pm

ok, so you have impacted me tremendously. i was led to your blog through eliot’s – i never knew eliot or his family – was led to his blog through a friend here in dallas. i am a lukewarm christian. by that i mean i have been scalded by STRONG christians and leaders in the church. i have worked in the church with youth and children. i have a faith and a belief in God and Jesus Christ. i understand that we aren’t supposed to understand what is happening to you or to your daughter; you inspire me because i am less faithful, less obedient and less joyful in Him than you and i have not endured the struggles you have/are. nothing that has occurred in my life has touched me more than your story. i am a 57 yr old young at heart grandmother blessed with 2 wonderful children and 2 and 1/2 precious grandchildren. i have struggled with depression as well. i am praying for you HARD (as i often tell my children). i have read your entire blogs – from day one. sat for hours one night. i feel connected to you and your family and will continue to follow your progress and healing. I pray for God’s grace and comfort and strength that only He can give. and i thank Him for bring you into my life through your blog.

15 Val May 6, 2007 at 2:11 pm

To read those words written by you: amazing. :c)

Hi Heather,
I came accross your website a week ago, through another blog and was instantly drawn to your story. You have been weighing on my heart and my thoughts and prayers have been with you and your family and will continue to be so. I had brain surgery eight years ago and your story rang all to fimilar. I am so thankful to hear that your surgery went well and you are in the recovery process. May God continue to bless you as he heals you and gives your encouragment each day. Your Faith and Love are so evident in the words of your pasts. I wish you the best!
Love and Prayers,
Liz Dixon

The Lord bless you and keep you.
The Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you.

Praying at every remembrance — and He brings you to mind often. :)

36 Debbie May 6, 2007 at 8:58 pm

I thought of this verse when I read your May 5 post.

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Eph. 6:13 (NIV)

Keep on standing and the rest of us will keep on praying!

37 Maxine May 6, 2007 at 9:05 pm

Bless you. The Lord continue to give you strength.

38 Julie S. May 6, 2007 at 9:15 pm

43 Angela May 6, 2007 at 10:05 pm

I just ran across your blog the day you were scheduled for surgery. I spent the entire evening reading back through the process, from the day you found out about the brain tumor. One thing that really stood out to me in the blog was an early comment that it was “inoperable” cancer. And here you are, post “inoperable” cancer, after your operation, standing, and fighting, and praying, and breathing, and living today. God is an awesome God, indeed.

44 Pastormac's Ann May 6, 2007 at 10:28 pm

Praise the Lord! We’re standing with you. Lifting you up to our Heavenly Father, the Great Healer.

Yay! Yippee! You did it! :-) May you see progression each and every day… no matter how big or small. You continue to be in our prayers.

49 Sara May 7, 2007 at 12:54 am

I read this and suddenly started singing “To God be the Glory”. Now my husband thinks I’m crazy, but I’m still singing and praying for you!!

Lots of love (though you don’t know me)
