Our God never fails to amaze me. So thankful for your increased blood counts. I was struck by your response to Carrie about you leading the way forward but your desire to fall on their wisdom and experience. I pray I have the humility inline to do the same...with everything. Continued prayers for you, your boys and your superman. Adjustments and changes all around. Asking for grace and joy in the days ahead.

Oh what a gift you are...My dear, precious soul sis,<br />Oh what a gift you are to my life and my heart. Oh what a reminder you are about choosing joy and love and GRATITUDE, no.matter.what. You, dear Vicky, are my role model for how to live life fully. How truly powerful it is to choose to Iive your moments, and squeeze all the love and joy from them that you can. <br /><br />Thank you, thank you for sharing so authentically about having to ask for a wheelchair and for weighing 108 lbs. It seems to me that in those moments that are hard, when we feel so vulnerable, that our light shines the brightest. Yours is shining so brightly that I can feel it in Spokane!! Often courage doesn't roar, honey. Courage often comes by waking up that next day and living life as fully as possible. Your courage helps me, and others, to live more courageously. Thank you for sharing about your boys and while they are sad, how they minister to you, their precious Mama, by their presence and love. I know how you love them, and Rick, and how they love you!<br /><br />And thank you for sharing about your lab scores. I have absolutely no doubt that prayer helped to elevate your lab scores in such a positive way. Praise God for some very positive news!!<br />This morning I am asking God, the Creator of Heaven and earth, to sustain and strengthen you, to strengthen your legs so you can be more mobile, and to keep up your appetite so you have strength for this journey. I am asking Him, dear heart, to hold you in the palm of His Almighty hand so you can continue feeling better every day.<br /><br />I won't stop praying, not ever. I love you,Vicky Held Westra, to the moon and back...ALWAYS!<br />LindaLinda Seppa Salisburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13336969827398454131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-4278302186854236652017-08-11T21:07:37.454-05:002017-08-11T21:07:37.454-05:00What a journey, dear Vicky.

And yet, here you are climbing down and announcing that you've arrived, the VICTOR!<br /><br />I'm so glad you got answered prayers in the form of such good lab results. And that there is a plan and you are having some better days and meaningful time with your boys who I know are the best healing medicine there is. Love you and I'm going to find a good book and have it sent to you.

Well, "Chicken Legs" - it's so good to hear from you. So good to hear that you are finding more strength, feeling some improvement, taking more treatment and still finding ways to live your days. That you have so many people who surround you with love in the many ways that they do, is a testament to just how special a person you truly are. You go girl.. you just keep doing, being, living, shining your light on us all... <br />Karen thisoldhouse2.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03302171590212119499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-87720477434149323222017-08-11T17:44:23.043-05:002017-08-11T17:44:23.043-05:00I hope to be one of those visitors soon!
