It's me Val
Hi everyone.
Just wanted to let you know I am feeling OK. A bit jaundice (I have a tint of yellowing to my skin). I caught it early and am not really sick from it. A question that runs through everyones mind is "why is this happening if the chemo was working?" I have always had a tumor inbetween the bile ducts. My surgeon said last night, even if it shifts or grows even just a small amount, this could have happened. I am still on course mentally and physically.
Lord,
I lay myself at your feet. I am not my own. You bought me with a price. Every breath has already been ordained by you and all my days have been written in your book of life. There is nothing ahead of me that that can detour Your will for my life. I praise you for your unfailing love. I trust you implicitly. May this trial and test in my life show my true faith in you and that I may come forth as gold.
But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.
Job23:10
Thank you for your word Lord.
Amen

Val,
Through this blog, we are all with you in our hearts and minds every step of the way. Your strength and determination never ceases to amaze me. If anyone can beat this, it is you!! I will keep praying for you.

Dear Val,
I am so glad you are not feeling sick. Yesterday, as soon as Renee and I got back from the 3rd grade field trip we were told you were on your way to the hospital. A group of us gathered in the teacher’s lounge to uphold you and your family in prayer. One of the ladies praying began to softly cry as she spoke of not really knowing you, but having witnessed you playing on the ground with your boys, rolling around with them. She said she was so touched by seeing a mom so totally involved with her children. Val, you are such an inspiration to so many! Later yesterday when we were sorting through the mounds of yearend kindergarten stuff, I noticed a note on the desk. I thought it would be from Mr. Palmer, the sub. I was blown away to find it was from you! Unbelievable that on the way to the hospital you would think to drop off the tassels for the caps!! Thank you! You are amazing! As so many have already said, I believe that rather than a big ba-da-bing all at once healing, that God is slowly healing you, so that others will not only have a closer walk with Him, but some will come to know Him personally. I don’t understand why you have to go through all of this but as the song from the school Christmas play said, “…there are things about You that I don’t know, but this I know for sure, You love me and you call me to be Yours.” I pray that you will indeed be able to continue to rest in His love.
Love,
Ginny
Val...
Thank you for the update! I was up all night praying for you. I would fall asleep and wake up mad at myself for falling asleep...and start praying again!!!!
I am thrilled that you wrote you are on course mentally and physically...that is so important! And that alone is an answer to prayer...as we pray for steadfast, unwavering faith!
As I sit here writing this...it is becoming abundantly clear to me that we are not to understand His plan...but just to trust implicitly in His plan...and believe in His plan...that is what He asks of us...and that is what we shall do!!! And I do...this is a bump in the road...it will NOT drive you off course...you will continue on the road to recovery and at the end of this road you will be standing in the winner's circle all for His glory!!!
We love you Val...

Val,
I just learned of your blog space yesterday,( where have I been?)I can not tell you how insperational yours and everyones writings are. I find myself hiding inside my shell when my Panic Disorder gets bad. (thats where I've been). But I read these writings from you and your family and friends, and I am inspired to stop hiding. Like you and I talked about it could be worse (for me). Even though I haven't been in sight, I pray for you and your family at all times of the day. You are an amazing person, Thank you for being in my life, Thank you for always being so giving, no matter what your going through andthank you for reminding me how AWESOME God is in our lives.
When I think of you it brings tears to my eyes....because God has put me in the presence of such a glorous person. You always here that God puts people in your life for a reason. I think you are here for me to remind me of his glory, and that we ALWAYS must look to him for our lives. As I have told you before, what-ever you need, I am here. I am so happy to have heard of this sight. I am glad you are feeing well. I will pray about this week for you, I know with all that is going on it will be hard, but with the help of all of us, have no worries......
God bless you today and everyday
Your friend

Dear Val...I have days that I think are terrible days. Kids fighting, all the rushing we do in our busy lives, and then I read your blog. It brings me back to what is important. The little things. You inspire me. I am amazed by you. I get strength from you.(when you are the one that needs it most) I am praying for you. You are always in my thoughts.
Love,
Jamee
Val,
I am sorry you have not been feeling well. I continue to pray for you everyday. you are always in my thoughts and prayers. Continue to be strong, and know you are in God's loving hands.
Val;
I am in awe of you... and more so I am in awe of He who strengthens you and so clearly lives in you, our beautiful Lord Jesus. He loves you so much, Val, you are so beautiful to Him and to all of us around you! You are such an inspiration to me, and to so so many people now, you have no idea... I'm gonna print out your last blog entry and put it on the wall in my office, just as I have so many other things from the blog.. my favorite is still the song your dad posted
"Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace"
Thank you for being you, you're my hero! We are praying without ceasing... I love you, Val!

Val,
I will be praying for you tomorrow for a safe and speedy recovery from your procedure.
May you glide through this period swiftly and effortlessly.
Send your worries to God and let him take the wheel.
Love :)

Dearest Val, Chris and children: I think of you every day and remember you in my prayers. I pray for your peace and comfort after this last procedure. Your old neighbors think of you often.

Chris & Val,
You have a beautiful family. My heart aches for you, but you are a strong unit. I feel in my heart God is blessing you. Each day you are able to spend with your family is a blessing, and soon you will be healthy and be able to really enjoy the blessings.
