You are declaring, though you do not see. He loves your heart. Once during one of the many dark hospital days that I had with my daughter, I felt nothing but exhaustion, I felt as though I had no faith, and I asked God, I need to to give me a song, or something to make it through this. This is what He gave me. I believe that Your promises are true I believe that what You say, You will do Even though I cannot see Your ways I know You're there for me And I believe Your promises are true You promised life to me You promised peace You said you would not leave me And You'll not forsake me You promised joy with the morning sun And strength through the night And I believe that Your promises are true. I pray that God gives you something eternal from Him, an eternal promise to carry you, in these days. I am carrying you in my heart and in my prayers. Way to go girl!

I know You’re there for me

And if you and Mark ever choose to share this blog with the children, the grace and peace you find in Jesus will resonate even louder in their hearts as they read what their precious Mama has written.

What you are going through is the most awful thing and yet you can Praise Him and glorify him in the suffering and the unknown, you are an inspiration and although I am a complete stranger I hope you do not mind when I say my prayers are with you. As a fellow Christian I often wonder how I would personally face such a challenge and I would only hope to have half the courage and grace you show here in your journal if I ever were to have to deal with the same.

We were planning a number of street ministry events, and I cannot even begin to describe half of my experiences there. It was incredible. There were many nights of fervent prayer, praise and worship. During one of those evenings, a friend came to me and spoke something that has stuck with me a long time. He told me that I while I was the weakest lamb, I would be the strongest fighter, or something very close to that. There have been times when that has helped me to understand my role in life. I am weak, but when I am weak, God is strong. Much stronger than I could ever be on my own. God has always been there when I needed Him, sometimes I just didn't realize until afterwards. To be allowed such a time of weakness, to me shows that God has planned wonderful things for you. He will continue to bless you in ways you can never imagine, until they've already happened.

I think it's so amazing how the Lord is able to use us to minister to others who are watching us when we are in the middle of trials. You have inspired, challenged and blessed so many people through your battle with cancer. Praise be to God....He is using you. The verse that comes to my mind when I think about you in your situation is: 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore, I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. Heather...you are strong! HIS strength is pefect in weakness. God bless you. I continue to pray for you and your family. Heather, you are such an incredible testimony to the grace of God in the midst of great trials.
