This post was such a blessing to see tonight. =O)

I need to get the courage to trust the Lord like you do. It does not matter what it is we are battling and I am sure should I have gone through what you did I would not have had as much faith as you.

This post brought a tear to my eye and a smile to my face.

God bless,

:heart:

Thank you for sharing your heart today. God spoke to me through you, and reminded me how much He loves us. 2 Corinthians 1 tells us that we experience these things so we can encourage others in their pain. Not so much what I’d had in mind, but it works. As I encourage others, my faith grows stronger and the ones I encourage are mentored in sharing hope. God’s circle.

Praying for you and your family.

It is funny how God knows what is best for us, even when we don't see it, huh? Beautiful story, my friend! .-= Melissa Multitasking Mama´s last blog ..Take me as I am? =-.

Hello Heather.
I just discovered your blog via {In Courage} and I am so glad that I did. Your soul has touched my heart. I have spent the last hour crying along with your posts and I feel so blessed to have “met” you. I look forward to following your family along on your journey through this blessed life.
Thank you for sharing your faith and love with all of us.

Hi Heather,
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I am 37 and have lived for the past 19 years with chronic illness. In the midst of that came journies thought infertility, several losses, God’s blessing of 2 living miracles, then God’s blessing of a 3rd “surprise” when we were least expecting or planning for him.

I have not been given a terminal diagnosis, but I was told about a year ago that my immune system is “as fragile as that of an AIDS patient” and that even a common cold could turn fatal in a matter of hours. I have not undergone chemo, but have spent the past 3 months at the infusion center getting IVs to hopefully help rebuild my immune system and probably have another 3 months of infusions ahead of me before heading into 6 months of an anti-viral drug that will have chemo-like side effects.

My babies are 9, 6 and 3 and I want all those same things you long for, yet I cling to God’s promised “hope and future” no matter how long He has for me here or if that future is mostly Heavenly or I’m blessed with many more years here on earth first.

There are so many things in your post I could relate to and I just wanted to send you a {{{hug}}} and thank you for sharing. Praise be to the God of All Comfort who comforts us so that we may comfort others.

Heather,
Would love to continue reading “Unplanned and Unexpected” but when I click on the link, it will not allow me to continue. Don’t know if I’m doing something wrong; I’m sure it is excellent like your other posts.
