I just want you to know what a blessing your words have been to me today. A good friend is battling lymphoma & just got some unwelcome news re: her cancer. I've been struggling with what to say to encourage her, and I ended up just copying and pasting your words in an email to her, they were so fitting. This is a tough struggle you have here, no doubt about it. But our God is, indeed, GOOD, no matter where we are in our lives. Thanks for your perspective.... Heather…

I just really loved the way you described our Lord in this post! He's amazing! It's been incredible to watch you praise His name through this time. It's been such an encouragement to see God being there ALL the time in someone elses lives. It's one of those things that we "know" but it's difficult to understand even when we see Him there in our own lives. Sometimes I question whether Jesus will be there EVERY time in EVERY moment and from your testimony I can not just know but see that the He actually is present all the time. Thank you for being really honest about your life. I pray for you and your family whenever the Lord brings you to mind.

Everyday I am faced with physicians and nurses that tell me they just don't have time to vaccinate their patients against a potentially life threatning disease that affects young mothers. It infuriates me when they make excuses not to do it-cost, time, insurance coverage, having to educate their patients,religious reasons, it's somebody else's responsiblity-the list goes on and I've heard it all! It is SO hard to keep going when nobody wants to listen to you. Especially hard when the vaccine you sell is 100% effective in protecting girls against this easily spread virus. Especially hard too when I myself am a mother of two young children- This is the disease that takes mothers my own age! YOU inspire me to be persistent and to be an advocate for patients!!! THANKS!!!Because the patients ultimately lose if the doctors don't vaccinate and do the RIGHT thing. Heather-

I think that your blog has impressed me and challenged me most with praising the Lord in ALL times...not just sometimes, when things are going well. I am the type of person whose heart hurts so much for others, that many times I just see the pain and loss in life, and neglect the blessings. You make life real, and share both. I thank the Lord for how He continues to use you in so many lives. And, I also LOVE your daddy. In His Grip Always, Lynnebee What a great list of thanksgiving Heather.
