But something tells me that the worst and toughest part is over. It will all be taken care of. The clinical trial that you are going through will take care of the latest wisp and blob. When God is making his presence felt all around you, rest assured, He will ensure you breeze through this too. Keep the faith. I shall continue to pray for your well being.

I don't want any of this news for you (x 1000) and I'm sorry you have to deal with this now. The not knowing is untenable but I know you lean heavily on the everlasting arms and wait there until you can move on. I love what everyone said but especially Kass. My fingers are lingering over the keyboard and writing, and erasing, so many stupid things that are meant to be wise, or comforting, or at least useful and they all come out wrong. <br /><br />I don't know what to say and the reality is I'm speechless. I don't have anything that will bring instant relief or deep insights of wisdom. But I'm aching with you and hoping with you and wishing with you and praying FOR you. May the next MRI show that this white blob is gone. It has happened before, Vicky. We know of someone who experienced it. It can happen for you.

I am praying for you, praying for a miracle, praying for peace for your heart along with your husband and boys. Have been thinking on/praying this verse for my sister and am now praying it for you.<br />Psalm 125:2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds His people from this time forth and forever.<br />I just keep picturing the actual mountains that surround Jerusalem and then imagine that those mountains are the Lord surrounding His people--it comforts my heart. Praying for you to know the comfort of His surrounding presence--many prayers.
