		<description>I love that MercyMe song, too.  The Matt Redman song &quot;You Never Let Go&quot; has been a great encouragement for me, as well.  I&#039;m praying for you, Heather, right now!  ((HUGS))</description>

		<description>When I was reading your post, it brought to mind a song by Ginny Owens.  I tried finding an audio link or youtube video, but no such luck.  I&#039;ll just post the lyrics link, so you can take a look.  

The song is &quot;If You Want Me To&quot;

		<description>This is embarrassing to say but what the heck, if it might help you...  Activia, the yogurt, is amazing when it comes to keeping your system regular.  Strawberry flavor tastes pretty good.  It has also eliminated my husband&#039;s heart burn and enabled him to stop taking Previcid (sp?).</description>

		<description>That song has ministered to us so much in the last 6 months of grieving.  My husband actually sang it in church on Father&#039;s Day and had the whole congregation in tears.  It&#039;s such a great song, and so good to remember that it&#039;s all about Him.  We are just all part of His glorious design, and thank God we are part of it.  I will pray specifically that you will not get nausea and have energy to be a wife, and mom this week, blessings and hugs to you!

		<description>Dearest Heather,

I was going to say what Tracy said. Maybe a different chemo medication is in order. Thoroughly go over this with your doctor. This really does not sound &quot;normal&quot;.

Remember when you had the flu when you were younger and your mom fed you chicken noodle soup afterwards? (Well at least mine did).  Soup and crackers were good in little portions. Also when I am very, very sick, lying very still is what makes it ok. 

It makes my heart hurt when I listen to your words and I wish I had something more to offer. I am a Catholic and every Sunday we have a time for offering up prayer. We do everyone including soldiers, and then have a time for personal petitions. You are the first on my list. This is done silently but you can feel the petitions going up to God. 

Blessings on your family,
Marie</description>

		<description>I have never known what to say to someone who was living with pain and uncertainty. I did learn, through my own daughter&#039;s illness and passing, that being told others care and pray for you is may be as good as anyone can do. In my feeble way I am obliged to offer you no less than Natalie&#039;s friends gave to me.

Love and prayers...</description>

		<description>Amazing to hear you still trusting in God and being a witness that everything is in His hands. Maybe that post alone was Gods plan, it really put some things into perspective for me!!

Thanks.

And i hope He will give you what you need!

		<description>Oh how quickly cancer reminds us that we are not in control. It also lets us know that we never were! That is sometimes hard to take for some of us until we come to the realization that God can and does handle things so much better than we do.
I am sending a big hug your way and may you receive it as the love of Christ being sent to you. Sometimes he uses people to help us feel His love and so that is what I pray that you feel from all these bloggers who care about you and are praying for you!
Love,
Gina</description>

		<description>Oh, Heather- I am so sorry that things are going so rough right now... but I know that this is bringing you so much closer to Jesus and this is what He wants of you. I know He is right there with you in all your suffering- He knows what it means to suffer- He will not let you  suffer alone or without total trust in His will for you.
I am praying for you- always... dear sweet girl...

		<description>I glanced at your clustermap while reading your post and was stunned by the whole world covered in RED - the entire world, a circle of love, surrounding you!
The sand of suffering is holy ground, this desert of pain... our shoes are off as we walk beside you, through your blog, because of the holy things that God reveals to those who suffer.</description>

		<description>Please Lord, PLEASE, comfort sweet Heather.  Please Lord, touch her body with a touch only You can give.   Please Lord, give her peace.   Be everything she needs right now and so much more, Lord.   Thank you Father for being our healer, our comforter, our salvation.  Thank you Lord, for Heather and the testimony she is going to have at the end of this.  


Heather, I always say I am praying and I always do.  Today I felt the need to let you hear it.  He hears us and He has a plan.  I don&#039;t understand it but He is totally in control.  Hang in there, girl.  Hang in there.</description>

		<description>LOVE this song...and i think of you often and pray for you...i think you are handling this &quot;rain&quot; with more grace and courage than i could ever muster up...i know we only see a small glimpse of your life...and we can never understand what you are experiencing...but you my friend are such an inspiration...i am sure you never wanted to be this kind of inspiration to the world...but praise God you are listening to Him and allowing Him to work through you and your suffering to bring others to Him.

May God&#039;s love comfort and strengthen you.
