Wow , beautiful!!! Brought tears to my eyes!
Awesome!
What a beautiful song. God is truly using this man’s amazing gift to touch many people.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
What a beautiful song!
I’ve been thinking about you all day…the “hair thing”. I’m so sorry…mostly sorry that it’s bothering you. Please don’t dwell on the hair.
Who is the artist who is singing and what song is this? Sorry if you all know, I feel like maybe I’m living in a cave to miss such a great song. ~B

heather, which of the 2 albums should i buy? i REALLY like his voice.
I like his new album “Whispered and Shouted” … I especially like “Give me words to speak”, and “You watch over me”…. Those two songs speak directly to where I am right now…
Hope that helped!

Thank you, dear Heather. I am a pretty new reader of your blog, but feeling attached already. Joyce Smith
Heather – I read your June 19 post early this morning and have been pondering about what words to say to you in regards to hairloss.
My hairloss was quite traumatic for me. See my Sunday, February 4 blog post “Not just taking my hand but my heart”. The hairloss picture will show you what loss I had on my right side. My tumor was on my right frontal lobe above my eye and a little to the right. A good 3+ inches back on that side was lost due to the RT. The left side was not as significant.
I was very sensitive to well wishers that would say “That doesn’t look so bad” or ” You would have looked great bald”. I know they meant well but I was ultra sensitive to anything pertaining to my hairloss. I am not saying that will be you but my hair was past shoulder length prior to the RT. I was encouraged to cut my hair shorter. I don’t regret cutting it shorter due to the fact I would have wondered the whole time if I didn’t cut it. Such a women I am. : )
Some ways to help with the loss . . .
1. Prior to your morning shower – Go outside to brush your hair. It would help lessen the hair loss in the shower. It helped for me to think that the birds would need my hair for their nests. Corney but true.
2. Scarfs are IN! Check target and some teenager stores in the mall for the adorable hair accessory. It helped with mine. I realize your tumor might not be as much in the front as mine was due to your surgery looking like a headband (for lack of better words).
3. Hats are always a good idea if the scarves don’t work out.
4. Remember it DOES grow back. I only have about a half dollar sized area left to come back in. Not bad for just completing RT on Feb. 9.
** Don’t forget the EMU oil to help with the RT burns. Your skin will need the moisturizer. I would put it on at night with a towel on my pillow. The RT staff didn’t want any sort of moisturizer, lotion, etc. on my skin prior to RT. But they highly encouraged to moisturize, moisturize, moisturize.
Hope this helped in some way!
Praying for you LOTS! – kate
Heather–
Praying for you today. I lost all of my hair(eventually my eyelashes and eybrows, too) and I for some reason (vanity, LOL?) it was the hardest thing for me physically.
Be encouraged, it does come back. I’m sporting a ‘crew cut’ these days and even went out in public w/o my ever present scarf or hat.
I’m not sure where you’re getting your treatment, but if you’re at Moffitt, I’ll be there on the 27th for a scan…
Heather (in Florida, too!)
That ministered to me. Thank you. Praying for you, dear one.
You are such a pillar of strength – an inspiration to us all.
He speaks.
He does. And will.
And you *will* sing again.
I pray for you everyday.
All’s grace,
Ann
Still praying. He has you securely in His Hand and He’s tending to your every need…I’m asking Him to. He loves you so much and with His love that He put in my heart for you, I know that love He has must be awfully great!

Hello Heather…How have you been doing?
I haven’t been able to visiit for a few days so I thought I would stop by before I go to bed and tell you that I am still praying for you.
I am so glad that Donna has you right at the top of her blog now and it is much easier to find you!!
I am a little computer illiterate as to putting you on my favoite links or I would.
Take care now….Love from Terry
Heather-
He still speaks to you. It’s evidenced in your blog writings. They are divinely inspired. I truly believe that.
You sing praises to His name with every word you right. It may not sound like singing to you..but He inhabits the praises of his people. Every cry – every word you think and speak – He just drinks it up.
Okay…let’s try that again…with every word you WRITE.
This is a saying that we had framed for my Mom…….
Cancer is so limited.
It cannot cripple love.
It cannot shatter hope.
It cannot corrode faith
Nor destroy peace
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
Nor invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot…conquer the spirit.
