Every time I read your posts I feel surrounded by the Holy Spirit. I can’t explain it much more than that. But you’ve impacted my walk with Chrsit over this past year. Just reading your wisdom, and hearing about your journey through this blog and updates from Care, I am always drawn so close to Christ. Thank you for showing me what it truly means to trust the Lord. May the Lord bless you abundantly for your faithfulness towards Him

You don’t know me but I was told about your blog from a friend. I started reading your blog in May and it has impacted me tremendously. We are dealing with suffering of a different kind but just reading about your faith and hope in God has truly encouraged my husband and I. We will pray for you and your family as you travel this difficult journey.

Hi Julia,
I just watched your story on tv and it was so touching that I wanted to reach out to you. I’m so happy to hear that despite all the pain and uncertainty you’re going through in your journey that you’re faith remains unshaken. Such a testimony and glory to God. I believe the Lord can and will answer your prayers to be cancer-free someday because our God is so good – and He is for us! Not against us! He wants our healing and recovery. That’s why Christ came, after all, to heal us and bring restoration. We can stand on his word and be faithful to receive.
I noticed the enemy loves to rob our faith when we’re not looking and remind us of all the reasons why we might be foolish to rely on God – or that God might be punishing us for something, or that he’s forgotten about us. I remember when it came to crises in my life, I was and sometimes still am tempted to wonder if God really cares about me? Or why he would allow me to go through so much and for so long? This is spiritual attack.
The enemy loves to disturb those whose hearts love the Lord. But we are already victorious in Him. We are conquerers in Christ – and I pray we all stay encouraged and reminded that God is God and nothing and nobody can dethrone Him or change that fact. You are so secure! 🙂
Thank you for sharing your story of pointing others to God through suffering – very encouraging to me as well & God bless you!

Hi Julia, thank you for sharing your faith and helping others through this challenging time. My best friend sent me your link as we have also been going through our own faith building journey. It is our at the time eleven year old daughter who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukemia and underwent a bone marrow transplant. She was in the hospital for 51 weeks exactly and went through so many complications it would take me pages to explain them all. Several times the doctors discouraged us from going to transplant as it was so risky and in the end she had less than a 1 percent chance of survival. She also had a blood infection thst put her in sepsis and her heart stopped and eighteen minutes of CPR later we got a pulse. Down in icu for three and a half weeks and our doctor told us to call everyone fully expecting she wouldn’t survive. God told me otherwise and she is alive and well and truly a miracle from.God. to say this last year and a half has been a challenge would be a gross understatement but as you have said it has made my faith and trust in God grow like never before. God truly is faithful and i could not have endured this time without Him. I will be praying for you and your hubby. Big hugs!

Hi Julia
I just saw your 100 Huntly Street interview. God is faithful even during difficult times. You truly are one tough cookie! I read most of your blogs last night until 3:00 am. You inspire me as I too am on a cancer journey very similar to yours. Blessings to you and your husband Andy.
