I believe your Blog is a blessing to those who read it. The fact that you have so many comments shows that people are drawn here. You have to do what is right for you, but I think it's pretty obvious that people want to hear what you have to say. I know I'll be checking in daily to see if there are any new posts. You and your family will be on my daily prayer list. God Bless! Romans 8:28 - "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."

I just stumbled upon your blog this morning and spent hours here reading about your life and all the trials you have faced and continue to face. Your faith, strength and resolve are inspiring. I've drifted way off course in my relationship with God and you stirred my spirit as I read your posts - and that hasn't happened in a long time. My faith and passion for Jesus used to be so much like yours. I saw my old self in you and that touched me. My question to you would be how would you advise someone like me to get back to the spiritual place where you are? I’m glad you decided to continue writing.

Amazing isn't it how God and his Word apply to each of us no matter what we're dealing with? I also tell myself that I guess I agree with God that this trial is better for me and I don't want to trade my burden for yours! I don't mean that unkindly. If you're still reading these comments and pop over to my blog, you'll see what I mean. You probably wouldn't trade with me either;). Thank you for your honesty. It's ok to not always be positive. I think that people who don't share the struggles leave others with the thought that they dont' have struggles. I am blessed by your blog because I’m suffering through a trial which I blog about;)

I can't speak for others, but I found your blog while surfing on a traffic exchange, trying to earn "hits" so traffic can be directed to my websites. Of course the name of your blog/site caught my attention (we Heather's need to stick together). Then I saw your picture. Of course the first thing through my mind is, "Ok, this is about cancer". I worked for 5 years as the medical biller/Asst. Transplant Coordinator for Bone Marrow Transplant here in Orlando, so bald heads are a familiar sight to me. I was so wrong. Yes, you talk about your cancer and everything you are going through, but that wasn't what caught my attention. As I was reading your blog, the first thing that truly hit me was "This woman is a Christian. Not just any Christian, but one who truly has faith and knows the Lord." I can tell that you are going through so much. Not just personally, but also with your daughter. You are such an inspiration. I'm not going through the same things you are, but our family is going through our own difficulties right now. Reading your blog today, and simply learning from you about strength and faith, has been such a help. God will lead you to either continue writing this blog, or He will find another venue for you. Either way, you and your family are in my prayers. Heather – you want/need to know how your blog has touched people.

I can't say whether that is a good enough reason for you to blog or not.

To know "mom" had doubts, struggles, fears, yet kept her eyes on Jesus through it all...that is a priceless heirloom/heritage to pass down to them. It's one thing to look back and tell them the story...it's another thing for them to hold in their hands the day-to-day testament of all that was going on in your life...your emotions, your thoughts, your desires and dreams, your relinquishment of them all to the Lord.

Your story and your courage are so awe-inspiring to me (and to so many other, judging from their comments). You have been in my prayers since I discovered your blog. But you asked how your blog has touched my life: I can't say specifically, I just know that after surviving breast cancer I feel a sort of kinship with you. I am drawn to your blog, I really am! I too blogged throughout my chemo, surgery, and radiation (for breast cancer). It was so therapeutic. My family and friends counted on my postings, so they knew I was doing OK and also so they could catch up on how things were going. They noticed when I stopped posting (when radiation got me down, very briefly). Very recently, I learned that my cancer is back, or perhaps it is still there because the surgeon missed it during the lumpectomy in February....no one is saying for sure. I am currently awaiting results of various scans and also a surgery date. I have found that I am going back to your archives more and more since I learned of my recurrence. I guess it sounds like I visit your blog for selfish reasons now, doesn't it? I visit to cheer you on, to check up on your progress, and now also for my own inspiration. My question for you: What is the sweetest thing your children have done for you and/or said to you? P.S. About blogging: I definitely understand reaching a point where you're not sure you want to write or what you want to write. You need to do what is best for you. If blogging makes you happy, stick with it. If you're a wreck over it, take a well-deserved break and maybe work on some posts to save for when you decide to resume.

As I've shared with you in a private email, in February I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that has no cure, no treatment, and the prognosis as to when my organs will shut down is next week? next month? 30 years??? I also have a rare spine disease and hemophelia. So, while our situations are not the same, I am also facing the same thoughts of fear of leaving my young family, 1 son with aspergers/bipolar/epilepsy, a beautiful daughter I am so close to, and a 4yo son with developmental delays that we adopted 1 1/2 years ago, all of whom I homeschool. Not to mention the most wonderful husband in the world. While looking through blogs, I was searching for someone who understood what I am going through. A christian woman with children, maybe even with special needs, maybe even a homeschooler. I found you! You put into elequent words what is swirling in my head. I'm terrible at memorizing bible verses. You always jot down just the verse I need to get through that day. The songs you choose to put on your blog often bring me to tears, good tears that help me remember to be strong. Your blog helps me so much-although I know in my heart my saviour is in control and is with me every step of the way, when I am having a bad, lay on the couch day, thinking I can't possibly do this anymore, there is your blog, and Iknow you understand. Your experience and words lift me up. Please continue your blog!! My question to you would be who is your favorite Christian singer and song? Many hugs to you! Athena in Utah Heather-

So, while our situations are not the same, I am also facing the same thoughts of fear of leaving my young family, 1 son with aspergers/bipolar/epilepsy, a beautiful daughter I am so close to, and a 4yo son with developmental delays that we adopted 1 1/2 years ago, all of whom I homeschool. Not to mention the most wonderful husband in the world.
While looking through blogs, I was searching for someone who understood what I am going through. A christian woman with children, maybe even with special needs, maybe even a homeschooler. I found you! You put into elequent words what is swirling in my head. I’m terrible at memorizing bible verses. You always jot down just the verse I need to get through that day. The songs you choose to put on your blog often bring me to tears, good tears that help me remember to be strong. Your blog helps me so much-although I know in my heart my saviour is in control and is with me every step of the way, when I am having a bad, lay on the couch day, thinking I can’t possibly do this anymore, there is your blog, and Iknow you understand. Your experience and words lift me up. Please continue your blog!! My question to you would be who is your favorite Christian singer and song?
Many hugs to you!

Your blog has touched my life in ways I can't explain. When we donated money so that you wouldn't have to worry while you were in Minnesota; my little donation was only a drop in the bucket. But together we raised enough money to take that burden from you. Last week when I checked in and you hadn't blogged, I knew you were having a bad day/days/week and sent up prayers. The same God watching over me in Atlanta is watching over you in Florida. The Lord is usng you for good, my friend. My question: Would you like a second cup of coffee: and What do you take in your coffee?
