"I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait on the LORD; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the LORD." Psalm 27:13-14

I wanted to thank each of you again for your continued prayers for me, for holding up my arms when I feel like I can't go on. I can't even tell you how much that means to me!  I spent the weekend mostly flat in bed, too dizzy to hardly move, extremely short of breath, with some issues going on with my heart. My Heavenly Father is always faithful to bring me through even the harder-than-normal times, however, and it seems like He wants to make sure I am fully trusting Him.

So thankful for some reminders of His loving care this week: a phone call from a very dear friend, several notes of encouragement, answered prayers, even cooler weather! Thank You, Father, for Your faithfulness, love and care, which is always there. Help me to always look to You, and not to my circumstances!

Some prayer points for the next few weeks:

~Strength for my physical heart to be able to handle the die-off of Lyme bacteria, and wisdom to know how much I can handle
~Financial provision to be able to continue treatment
~Continued direction--if there is another treatment option I am supposed to pursue, that we would be given wisdom and all the details worked out
~That any hidden issues with my health would be revealed, so that if there is a missing link to address, we would know how to go about that

Again, thank you all SO MUCH for your love and support. I can't imagine having to go through this alone, and I am so grateful for each and every one of you, and of course for my amazing family as well.

Be blessed and strengthened today!

Thank you!

I wanted to thank each of you who took the time to send me an encouraging email or e-card on my birthday on Sunday...I was literally overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and blessing I received! You can never know how much that means to me, or how deeply you blessed and encouraged me. I felt so loved, even though I don't deserve it...

I know I probably won't be able to respond to each message, so I wanted to write a public thank-you! I am so thankful that I don't have to fight this battle alone...not only is Yeshua right by my side every step of the way, He also sent so many wonderful people to stand with me and hold up my arms when I get tired.

This verse has been on my heart the last few days: 

"Do not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season you shall reap, if you do not lose heart." 

That really spoke to me, especially the part about "in due season"...just because I can't see it right now, just because I don't know when that season will come, He still promises that it will!

Thank you all for your prayers, support and love...it means so much! I'll try and post an update soon, as things are still intense physically, but for now, I just want you all to know how much you are appreciated!
