Hey Julia! This is Erica Mair from good ol’ Brock days! I saw your blog because of Sarah Piercey’s FB and I just wanted to let you and Andy know that I am praying for you! It has been such a challenge and encouragement to me how you are trusting and looking to God in this situation. May God continue to be your source of strength in this time. Praying for you.

Hi Julia,
I know I don’t know you well, but I just wanted to leave a comment to let you know I’ve been following your journey for the last couple months and have been praying for you. Your courage and trust in our God is such an encouragement to me, and makes the truths of Gods word come that much more alive. May God continue to strengthen you despite the difficulties and hardships you are encountering. Love, Charity

Julia, it’s great to see you are keeping your head up. This whole blog is a story of courage. Your attitude always seems to puzzle me at the beginning of the blog but by the end it seems to make so much sense to feel the way you do. It’s great to see that you are enjoying the simple things in life that not many people get to experience every day. Sometimes we are just too busy to enjoy each of our family members. The love that’s been brewing over the years can really be seen in the hard times, and can cushion the blow. Continue to be faithful. You’ve accomplished so much. Peter was able to walk on water because he kept his eyes on Jesus. It didn’t matter what was happening around him. Whether there was a huge wave coming, rushing winds, loud crashes of lightning… when we fix our eyes on him, great things happen. You are an example of this.
We love you lots!

Hey Julia,
It has been almost 10 years since we have seen each other/last spoke. Good old Pearson days! Your blog caught my eye from Marissa’s facebook and my heart sunk. As teenagers, I always remembered you as being the sweetest, kindest person to anyone and everyone, and of course, I am sure that that has tripled now, as well as being so incredibly strong and brave. You’ve inspired me to always remember not to take little things for granted and to appreciate life every day. I will be praying for you.
Thinking of you.

I love your words Julia, and your courage. You shine as one who has felt the touch of your savior upon you, a caress like no other. I’m praying that as Jesus anchors your soul, that you feel held and protected by him. Also that the Great Physician would completely heal your body…lots of love and continued prayers for you dear one…xo

Dear Julia, There have been so many times that I have awoken in the night or been prompted to pray for you. God is faithful and He gives us strength in our weakness. May you soar with wings like eagles..with a supernatural strength and peace and courage – day by day, moment by moment. I am praying that you will continue to have God-sightings each and every day, and that His angels will minister to you in profound and precious ways. You are so loved, so precious and you are very tenderly held in His hands. Will continue to pray for complete healing and for His grace to be sufficient as you continue this very difficult journey. Love, Sue Burke-Faber

Hi Julia- this is Beth Hunter’s sister Linda. My husband used to ride to McGill with your Dad so our families go back a long ways. I have enjoyed your blog and wanted to let you know that Lloyd and I are joining in prayer for you and Andy and your whole family. Keep up the good work!

Hello Julia, I do not know you but your post resonates with my heart of hearts. As a believer, it is easy to see us pleading, crying out to God to change our circumstances but the reality is we have so much to be thankful for, thankful for things of eternal importance not temporary things. I pray that as you cry out to God that your heart would continue to be overwhelmed with thanksgiving because Paul tells us that when we do this the Peace of Christ which goes beyond our rational thinking will Guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. I am encouraged by your posts, keep them coming as your strength permits. Doug (friend of Lydia and Rob Elliott who I think you know)

Hi Julia, I work with your Aunt Barb and wanted you to know I have been praying for you as she was sharing your story with me. I’ve been following your amazing blog. You are so incredibly brave pouring out your heart and using your journey to draw others closer to the Saviour. Praying for healing for you. My sister is an ovarian cancer survivor as well and she’s praying for you too. Bless you as you faithfully follow and trust the Lord in your recovery.

You are continually in my prayers, Julia! Your faith is awe-inspiring and humbling.
