However, research has shown that whey protein is oxidized (burned up) as much as it is used for protein synthesis, which means that…

Thank you so much for your continuing witness. You have blessed many lives. May you and your family receive as many blessings as you have given.

Child of My love, lean hard,
And let Me feel the pressure of thy care;
I know thy burden, child, I shaped it;
Poised it in Mine own hand, made no proportion
In its weight to thine unaided strength;
For even as I laid it on, I said,
I shall be near, and while she leans on Me,
This burden shall be Mine, not hers;
So shall I keep My child within the circling arms of Mine own love.

Here lay it down, nor fear
To impose it on a shoulder which upholds
The government of worlds. Yet closer come;
Thou art not near enough; I would embrace thy care
So I might feel My child reposing on My breast.

Thou lovest Me? I knew it. Doubt not then
But loving Me, lean hard.

I’m not sure if you know this girl or not

Sorry I just don’t have time to scale down your thousands!! of comments looking for a familiar name!!

I’m sure she would find you a blessing

Don’t worry about anything, instead pray about everything, tell God your needs and don’t forget to thank Him for His answers. If you do this you will experience Gods peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Jesus Christ!
Philippians 4:6-7 (forgot what version, sorry)

I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. I will not, I will not, I will not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let you down or relax My hold on you. Assuredly not! Hebrews 13:5 Amplified Version

Three years ago I had emergency surgery to remove a non-malignant meningioma. Although it wasn’t cancer, at the time of my diagnosis the tumor was so large and had shifted so much that I was in a very bad way. I was very blessed to have a successful surgery and to not have died. I promised I would change and that I would be a better person and really use my trials to help bless others–giving all the glory to God. After three years, I think I’ve failed to maintain my promise and I admit I have become complacent. You inspire me to get back in there and make more of a difference, talk to God constantly, stop complaining about the petty things in my life, and continually look for ways to be a blessing to others.

You also are a reminder to look for joy and blessings in all the circumstances of life as it says in James 1:2-3. “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.”

Heather, thank you sharing your thoughts, hopes, dreams, and fears. All you have to do is read a few of the comments to know you are an inspiration to many. I pray that you feel peace knowing many are lifting your name up to God in prayer.

Blessings to you and healing for your body,
Lisa

You are loved.

Keeping you in prayer…

never underestimate the power of sharing your story. i have a feeling when you get to heaven, as people stroll by you’ll be told again and again how your walk affected them. i’ll be one of them. and i’ll tell you how our journey to foster children almost didn’t happen because i was scared of the pain of giving children back. how could i live with that pain? i hadn’t yet learned pain was irrelevant to obedience….and love. and then one of your post brought that to light, how this isn’t about me, or you, but about bringing the god we love glory. in fact, you stated something in a song, and i’ve never heard that song the same way. and now, it’s kind of my life moto: jesus, bring the rain.
and then, all the children we bring into our home will hug your neck. the first one is already here…a precious little 1 year old girl who will most likely be adopted by us! and to think, we almost missed that blessing!

P.S. and BTW, sharing your story with friends who don’t blog, too, so the Lord’s reach really never ends. ((((((((hugs))))))))))

You are amazing! Just amazing – everyday I come here, sometimes posting, sometimes not – sometimes even feeling unworthy of posting here. Your life, your amazing will to live, your amazing love for yourself, your family and God are, in my eyes, nothing short of, well, Amazing!

I have no idea how you have done it, I continue to struggle with my journey with God, I had a mentor helping lead me though, teaching me and being a sister in faith, – but she’s been MIA for several weeks – I just feel lost, then I come here and read your story – your strength and love – and I am amazed by it!

I can’t imagine going though what you are, and yet I find myself wishing everyone felt what you ARE going though – not that I would wish it on anyone, I never would or could – but, in some weird way, I believe what you are going though, is a gift – you do live everyday like it could be your very last – you remember to “smell the roses” as it were – and ENJOY what’s going on around you, your children’s smiles, the smell of the world right after a good rain, the beauty of your children playing happily together.

I had that “zest” for life, as a child, sorta – but as an adult you get somewhat jaded, and though if your like me you know your not promised tomorrow, and sometimes pray that tomorrow would just not come – but you also get complacent, thinking that it’s going to – often time’s thinking that it’s going to be worse than today was – if you know what I mean?!

Anyway, I am praying for you – and I look up to you more than you could possibly know, you are an inspiration to me, I hope to be one day, where you are!

Many (((HUGS))) and lots of prayers!

I feel so weak and puny so often with the circumstances I face, the pain I carry each and every day. Then I come and read and cry along with you as you lose your hair, fight violent sickness from the treatment that is to make you better, and wonder how it feels to go through a time of not being able to speak, even to those I love so dearly.

I am bolstered and encouraged each and EVERY time I come here, my precious sister in Christ. I will continue to offer up my prayers on your behalf and know that God is hearing. Yes, He is hearing.

Consider this my hug to you today. May God hold you in His strong and capable arms, dearest Heather.

You brought tears to my eyes yet again by your transparent, honest posts. I can’t imagine going through what you have had to. What’s amazing and beautiful is how you give God the glory and praise for it. Lots of people can “talk” the Christian talk but it takes a strong believer to “walk” it like you are. It makes my heart so happy to read that you are uplifted and encouraged by reading everyone’s posts. I know for me, I post comments here for you for that very reason. You made me smile and cry by your words. I am still praying for you and your family. My only regret? I’ve never had the blessing of meeting you face to face (: You are very strong and very blessed. It’s quite obvious that many here care about you and are daily sending up prayers on your behalf. I pray that on the “can’t get off the couch days”, all of these people will continue to minister to you. God is amazing and has carried so many people through similar crisis’ and He’ll do the same for you. Keep focused on beating this cancer and know that many are thinking and praying for you. Best wishes!

Molly (:

BTW, you looked stunning in your scarf! Not many people can pull that look off but you sure did!
