Lynn,
If only we could all take a day of pain for you, I would be the first in line and the line would be long. Fall is in the air and hopefully that means your "vaccine" is closer. I think of you often and only wish I could do more for you, I'm reminded of your sweet face often, whether its from friends, pink bracelets or kids. We miss seeing you and cannot wait until you are up and at'em again. You will never know the impact your life has had on many of us, we love you and will be beside you or carrying you until we reach our destination. Stay Strong Sweet Friend.

Love Always,
Sharmaine

I had a chance to see Taylor this morning and I sent her all the love I could without making a fool of myself in the hallway. She looked very cute and happy. I am praying for you and thinking of you all the time. I just wish there was something we could all do.

Oh Heidi is so right ... Friends double the joy and divide the grief ... that is such a perfect way to let you know that we are here to lift that burden off of you in any way we possibly can. Thank you to Holly for sharing the update and specific prayer requests, you can rest in the assurance that each of these requests is being lifted to the Lord today by the hundreds of people who check in on you and pray for you each and every day. The Body of Christ is on its knees for you, dearest Lynn, and for your family and your doctors. Please stay strong, you are an incredible person and have overcome so much already, I know you can do this. I'm so sorry you are continuing to have such awful pain. I am looking forward to an update soon that the spinal procedure has helped relieve some of that pain for you. May God hold you in the palm of His hand and give you comfort, peace, patience, and strength.

Hello Lynn. I just read the update and Holly informed us that she will print the entries and read them to you. After reading the entry just now an old saying popped into my mind and it goes something like this, "Friends double the joy and divide the grief." This saying really hits home the meaning of true friendship as when we heard the good news on the PET scan, so many of us were doing the HAPPY DANCE. Now, knowing you are in so much pain, so many of us are feeling the pain too and wanting/hoping to take it away from you with our love, prayers, and just support of you in general. You can do this Lynn. You are a fighter and God strengthens you. I am storming heaven for you, with you, and because of you. Hang in there as there are brigther days ahead. Keep LOOKING RIGHT. Much love, Heidi :) P.S. Thanks for the update Holly!

Dear Lynn,
I hope that things have looked up for you......... I am anxious, along with the rest of the world, to hear that you are back home and your pain is under control. No matter what is currently happening in my life, you are never far from my thoughts and you are NEVER discluded in prayers. Being that my son goes to school with yours, it has to be private, as you wish, but my husband and I are fully believing in your healing here on Earth.
Hold tight, stay strong. You are the only person in this world that I know of that handle what you have been faced with. You are not the cancer and the cancer is not you. And you never seem to forget that. You use your journey to spread His word and help others with your courage and steadfast faith in God. Thanks to our dear Lord for you. You will never know how many lives you have changed with your words of courage, faith and complete believing in the Almighty. I am praying that this slight bump in your road to recovery will be handled quickly and that this infection does not grow to hurt you anymore than it already has. Stay strong and keep fighting, don't stop, don't stop. You are needed here.........
With love and prayers,

From "The Message" ... 1 Corinthians 13:12-13

"We don't yet see things clearly. We're squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won't be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We'll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us! But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love."

Asking the Father to protect you and comfort you today, and to provide for all your needs. May God bless you and yours, Lynn, you are all so special to my heart.

Hi Lynn, I've been away from the computer for a few days and am sick about last week's events and your unplanned hospital stay. Reading the other guestbook entries has made me think you're home now, but not sure. Wherever you are resting at this very (late!) moment, I'm praying for your body to be pain-free and your sleep to be sweet and restorative. I look forward to an update soon. So many prayer warriors lifting you up and keeping tabs on you, you know!!! We love you, Lynn!

I agree with Susan Whitworth...your work here is not yet done. YOU are such a big part of so many lives...we all love you so much! I pray that tomorrow is a brighter and clearer day for you. The kids and I laughed a lot today at the movies...remind them to tell you how funny it was! Jenny and Holly said that you've been pretty funny, too! I love the way God weaves laughter into life's struggles. Surely He knows how good it is for us to use our gift of laughter whenever things look tough. I also love the way He loves you and takes such good care of you!

Dear Heavenly Father, please, please, please wrap Your loving arms around Lynn and eliminate this horrific pain she is experiencing. Please Lord, be with her family and fill them all with your loving spirit so they may all feel peace and secure that you WILL heal Lynn completely of her pain, discomfort, and her dreadful disease. Lord, we ask that you be with the children so they may not worry about their Mommy and live their lives as carefree as possible. Lord, we all thank you so so much for Lynn and the courage and faith she graciously gives to so many of us. We thank you so much for giving her such a supportive family and cirlce of friends who care for and take care of Lynn. Please give the nurses who are treating her compassion and the doctors wisdom so that together, with You, they can do what is needed to help Lynn. Thank you Lord for all of the blessings Lynn has surrounding her and we ask that you continue to lay Your hand on her for healing.
In sweet Jesus name we pray, AMEN!!!!

Lynn, I am praying, praying, praying for you and your family.........I hope you are feeling better. I know that we out here are so worried for you and I am sure you are as well. Know that you are loved and that you will WIN. Keep fighting and hold on, your work here on Earth is nowhere near done.

Nerve pain is just so miserable. I am so sorry that this struggle to find a way to prevent the pain is so difficult. Know many prayers are being said for you! Hoping you are able to get back to your chemo soon and that the nurses are good to you in the hospital. I am sure you are touching their hearts the same way you have touched mine.

Hi Lynn,
We have been on vacation since Sept. 1st, without great internet access (unless you were willing to spend a small fortune per minute!). I feel like I am soooo out of touch with what has been going on with you. I have read all the journal posts from 8/31 on, and am very glad to hear about your great news on your PET scan! However, I was then sorry to read about the pain you have had to endure. My heart aches when I hear about that intense pain. I pray that the meds you received yesterday are giving you relief today! Here's hoping that you can enjoy your chemo. time off!! Take care...Love, Christine

Lynn,

Praying that your pain is less! Praying that you are able

to rest tonight. I know it is so much harder to fight the

mental battle when your body is physically in so much

pain. I wish I had elegant words to lift you up.....

I don't, but I do know a Father that does love and care

about you!

"I lift up my eyes to the hills�where does my help come

from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven

and earth." (Psalm 121:1-2).

He promises that He will never leave us nor forsake us,

and that He is near to all those who call upon His name.

I am calling on his name, along with so many others

tonight, for you!

Sending hope and love,
Teresa

Happy Monday to you, Lynn! That's wonderful news about the short reprieve from chemo, I know you must be happy to have a break. I pray it will be filled with lots of smiles and JOY!!

Just wanted to share a "God thing" with you today ...

I have a little "flip calendar" on my desk here in my office that has a daily scripture or inspiration thought. It is one that can be re-used every year. I received it as a gift in the late 90's, in fact the publishing date is 1995. I hadn't used it in several years so in January of this year I pulled it out for 2006.

The page for September 11 does not have a scripture verse but instead has a quote:
"The stars may fall, but God's promises will stand and be fulfilled" -J.I. Packer

How amazing it is that this quote was used for 9/11 years before the tragic events of 9/11/01?!? Reading it almost brought me to tears this morning! To me, this is just one more HUGE reminder that God already KNOWS what will happen to us, He knows our circumstances, our hearts, our fears, our concerns ... and He has ALREADY taken care of them!!!!

Lynn, He knows what you have/are/will be facing, and HE HAS IT ALL TAKEN CARE OF! Awesome! So just remember ... He really does have a plan for you, and HE is in control!

Sending big big hugs your way ... and wishing you a FABULOUS week, free of pain and weariness and full of blessings and love! You'll be in my prayers every day.

Family is the most precious thing we all have,we need to protect them and love them with all our might! We all send hugs and well wishes from Minnesota.

Lynn, yesterday I was outside with the kids and Logan said "look mommy at the butterfly, isn't it beautiful?" and I stopped and looked... key words... stopped and looked.. instead of just saying "yeah yeah" to Logan... and remember Holly's post saying to take a look everywhere... it's true... God has given us so many beautiful things... and so many great promises... Keep Believing and Stay Strong... and of course Looking Right... Your friend Nancy

Hang in there today and know I am sending you tons of love and hugs!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

Love you SO big,

It's wonderful and uplifting to read the positive news. I'm so happy that your hope and spirits are renewed, Lynn, after your understandably down moments. I will continue to pray and root for your continued recovery, the elimination of pain and cancer from your body, and for the strength of your children and husband to travel this journey to recovery with you. You deserve every good thing that has come your way, and more! God bless you each and every day.

P.S. I just checked the Potbelly Sandwich Works website to find out where exactly the Potbelly's on Legacy is located. The correct address (according to the Potbelly site anyway) is 5717 Legacy Drive, it's at Legacy and Parkwood, just east of the Dallas North Tollway.

This is just FYI for others like me who rely on Mapquest for everything (and also because I have no idea where Fox Sports Grill is!). Potbelly's phone number is 469-467-7712 just in case anyone needs it.

Looking forward to Wednesday!!

Hey Girlfriend...I am still thinking of your good news...I'm sure that you are too! I had to share this story with you. We were eating dinner at Chili's tonight and the waiter gave the kids each a piece of paper that had a chili pepper on it. They were to decorate it and then they would hang it on the wall.When Madeline was done with hers, she proudly said, "Mom, I made this especially for Ms. Lynn...she had colored her chilipepper hot pink, drew a light pink breast cancer ribbon on it and then wrote.."Race for the cure" in big green letters. She was so proud of it and couldn't wait to have the waiter hang it up.She then asked me,"Mom what is a donation?" After we explained that to her, all the kids asked Greg for a dollar and I asked them what they needed it for...the back of the page was an advertisement for cancer research for children. I didn't realize that was what the chili pepper page was for! Anyway, Madeline hopes that you can go to Chili's with us one day so that you can see your hot pink chilipepper! I hope that you are having pain free days....We have you in our prayers always girlie...Love you tonz....Anna

"And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen." I Peter 5:10 & 11

Lynn, the verse above was in my devotional today. Wow! I can't add a thing to that. God certainly is holding BOTH of us in the palm of His hand, isn't He?

Praying the Lord's bountiful blessings on you and yours today. And on this gray day in North Texas, may you feel the SONshine more than ever!

*********To all of Lynn's Prayer Warriors********** I am not sure if Lynn will post something or not. There is a new Potbelly's on Legacy. It is next to the Fox Sports Grille and right across the street from where Team Lynn Newman met for the walk this summer. Potbelly's is having a free lunch on Wednesday from 11-2. All you have to do is give a donation. All of the money made will go to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. The food is delicious. And, guess what else???? LYNN NEWMAN is going to try to come around 11:00 if she is feeling well. Please tell all of your friends and family and please try to get to Potbelly's. The address is 5171 Legacy Drive.
Thanks!!!!
Hugs to you, Lynn.

Good morning Lynn! The praises are still ringing out! Hallelujah!

I hope and pray that your pain subsides today and allows you to enjoy the cooler weather and the holiday weekend. I'm sure you'll be surrounded by many friends and loved ones who are celebrating for you and caring for you. Have a glorious weekend surrounded in love!

I read this recently and thought you might like it. We don't know why things happen to us but because of our faith we know without a doubt that God is in control of the situation and won't forsake us even in the bleakest of times. He loves you so much, Lynn, and He is ALWAYS at your right hand! KEEP LOOKING RIGHT!!

"This is from Me," the Savior said,
As bending low He kissed my brow,
"For One who loves you thus has led,
Just rest in Me, be patient now,
Your Father knows you have need of this,
Though, why perhaps you cannot see �
Grieve not for things you�ve seemed to miss.
The thing I send is best for thee."
Then, looking through my tears, I plead,
"Dear Lord, forgive, I did not know,
It will not be hard since You do tread
Each path before me here below."
And for my good this thing must be,
His grace sufficient for each test.
So still I�ll sing, "Whatever be
God�s way for me is always best."

As I read your post, a song I have not thought about or

heard in years came to mind,

"To God Be the Glory", To God Be The Glory! Great things

he has done"!

AS I go about a very busy day, that song

will be on my lips! I am praying that you have some pain

relief during this holiday weekend and can enjoy some great

family time.

With much love and deep gratitude to our God,

But KNOW that YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION to all of us. This news just confirms the power of prayer, faith, and belief.

Tears of happiness for you and you entire family flowed freely as I read you post. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your miracle!

Dearest Lynn, I came here this morning trying to find the words of encouragement that God would want you to hear today, but yet feeling so down that you are suffering so. Then I saw JennyGwynn's entry ... I so hope I am correct in assuming that her entry means good news, that your PET scan results are in??!?? Oh how I hope and pray that's what it means!!! You need some good news today, dear friend, and I hope that you are hearing some right now!!!! Looking forward to an update as soon as you feel up to it. Remember that you are constantly in my prayers. Hang in there, you remarkable woman, God is not finished with you yet!!!

I will continue to pray for those folks creating that special potion for you! I need to be reminded on how to order LOOKING RIGHT bracelets. I just attended the 3-day closing ceremonies in MN. I had 2 very special friends/survivors walking...HOW INCREDIBLE. THEY WILL FIND A CURE!!!!
I think of you so often.
I found a new job!! Praise God!

When the pain is great, your hopes are low- remember you are not alone!! You have more people than you know who are praying for you. We are praying openly, silently, patiently, loudly, alone and in groups, daily and hourly. When you feel the burden is too big allow us and HIM to help you- but NEVER NEVER allow satan more time than a fleeting thought. When your overwhelmed and totally consumed with pain and hopelessness- think of those sweet babies and fight the fight for them. Now is the time more than ever to put those running shoes on, look right, trust in Christ, for he will carry you when you are tired.

Dear Lynn,
I am soooo sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Just busy with my 2 1/2 yr old daughter, 3 month old son, and now we are planning a move. Please don't think that I don't think of you often and keep you close in my prayers. I check on you everyday!!! You have been such an inspiration in my life and I will always be grateful that it was YOU who renewed my faith in Christ!!! You continue to lead others with your faithfulness, love for family and friends, and your fighting spirit! I will be getting ready to plan my son's Christening for sometime in November. If you recall-not too long after I found your site-my daughter, husband, brother and newphew were all baptized. It was your love for our Lord that spread into my heart and helped me find my way again. It was that LOVE that spread through my family. I have never met you, and yet you have been a beacon of light in my life-THANK YOU LYNN!!!! Please know-that I lift you up in prayer even though I don't post everyday.
P.S-Thank You Jenny and Holly for always writing such beautiful updates for Lynn!

Sweet Lynn,
I hope you always know that your PRAYER WARRIORS will NEVER stop praying, and that all of us are running this race with you. I like to visualize it as a crowd of your friends, all holding each other up, with YOU in the center! I tell ya...watching your video from the Walk for the Cure is such an encouragement. Do you watch it from time to time? I hope so. So many friends are wearing your Looking Right pink bracelets at school. The feeling of strength and support for you is ever-growing and almost tangible! May the Lord continue to bless you with each day full of love and a new heart; hope in knowing that He is right there at your side, holding you closer every single day. He loves you forever, and so do I!

Some of the lyrics from a song called Mountains by Lonestar...

There are times in life when you gotta crawl,
Lose your grip, trip an' fall
When you can't lean on no-one else:
That's when you find yourself
I've been around an' I've noticed that,
Walkin's easy when the road is flat
Them danged ol' hills'll get you every time
Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains,
So we could learn how to climb

This world ain't fair,
It can knock you on your butt
You can just lie there,
Or you can get back up
You gotta get back up

There are times in life when you gotta crawl,
Lose your grip, trip an' fall
When you can't lean on no-one else:
That's when you find yourself
I've been around an' I've noticed that,
Walkin's easy when the road is flat
Them danged ol' hills'll get you every time
Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains,
(The good Lord gave us mountains)
So we could learn how to climb
Yeah, oh

Running shoes ON!

Lynn, I just wanted to encourage you and tell you that you can definitely do this. If the vaccine will be available in February, it is because God wants it to be available then, and if He wants it to be available then, He *will* give you the strength to make it through until February.

I pray that your pain and discomfort would be so greatly reduced that the days will pass by with ease.

Please know that legions of people will be praying to help you make it all the way to your ultimate goal - healing on this Earth!

God bless you,

Hi Lynn!
I have to tell you I laughed out loud when I read Lisa's post since I totally remember that red sweater you wore back then!!! I was just looking through some old pictures so memories of those days was fresh in my mind. The scary thing is it seems like yesterday and yet now my own daughter just started 7th grade - yikes! Am I really this old now?? Lucky for me the 80s are back in so we are enjoying watching all the old chick flicks together and shopping with her to buy Vans! Hope you get to spend some quality, pain controlled time this long weekend with Dave and the kids. If you happen to spend any of that great cul-de-sac time together - toast a margarita from me to you :) Am thinking of you and praying for you always. Miss ya!

Just a note to send hugs and prayers. I am actually in

Dallas tonight, after spending 2 days at the Women of Faith

conference. Tomorrow I head to market and then back home.

Praying that you get encouraging results from your PET scan.

My Dad starts an 8 week stretch of chemo/radiation

combined, early tomorrow morning.

Another close friend

was diagnosed with and had surgery for ovarian cancer this

past week. So all three of you are in my prayers tonight.

Much love, hope and sweet rest I pray for you tonight.

Have to share a story with you. Emma (9) and Mary (5) have been going to MN Jr. Viking Cheerleader camp all week with the carrot being cheering at last night's pre-season game. My niece was also involved. My sister wanted to drive with my family to the Metrodome so I told her she needed to be at my house by 2:50 p.m. at the latest as I didn't want to be late and have to rush Mary as this was her first year (we needed to meet at a Gate by 3:30 p.m.). At 2:45 the phone rang and it was my sister. She said they were just getting ready to leave (and she is a good 20 minutes from my house). I of course sounded confused and told her I needed/wanted to leave at 2:50 per our earlier discussion. Keep in mind that I get stressed if I'm late so leaving at 2:50 p.m. was pushing it already. She said it will only take 15 minutes from my house to get to downtown Mpls so of course, we waited. However, after I hung up the phone I was upset. My sister always seems to upset my schedules and here we go again. Emma was in the kitchen and saw I was upset. She looked at me and pointed to my pink LOOKING RIGHT bracelet and smiled. I gave her a quick hug. At this point, I couldn't let go of being upset because she always seems to disregard anyone else's plans, etc. Randy got the kids in the car and I used the bathroom. I went into our minivan and sat down. It was then that I felt the HUGE impact you have on our entire family. In harmony, my kids yelled LOOKING RIGHT. I instantly lost the frustration of knowing we were going to be late and felt my sweet kids hearts reaching out to their mom knowing how important your LOOKING RIGHT messsage is to our entire family and you of course. So, we had a GREAT time at the MN Vikings game with much thanks to you and your message, your courage, your strength, your faith, and your spirit. I am hoping/praying that your PET results mirror the latest thoughts from your doctor, OT, etc. Keeping the faith alive in New Hope, MN.

Dear Lynn,

I always check in on you! I will continue to pray for your requests and that your spirit remains in tact...you are a gift to so many. I am grateful that I have come to know you through Holly and your website! Our "baby Allyson" had foot surgery this week and she is doing well. A few "glitches" on the radar regarding her eardrums, but she's a toughie and keeps everyone around her BUSY "keeping up"...I think she is "part of your spirit"...I have thought about my "book title" (that I plan to write in retirement) and it will be called SPIRIT BOUNTIFUL. If/when I finish it, I will send you a big-fat-copy!!

Hang in there and I'll be thinking positive thoughts for all GOOD things for you and yours.

Hello Cousin - You've been on my mind all day today! Do you remember your bright red jacket and grey striped pants your wore in 8th / 9th grade? I always picture you in it when I think about those fun times. Funny, the things we remember.

How about when we went skiing and you were mad and crying because Teri didn't wait for you on the way down. I can understand now, my kids and Bruce snowboard down the mountain and don't want to wait for me! Last time I tried snowboarding, I fell so hard the ski patrol came over to check on me. I was lying there with little tears rolling down my cheeks asking for a ride down the mountain.

And, one time at band camp (j/k-I hope you saw the movie to get that one). Love ya cuz - Lisa

Had to sign on quickly as I just went to tell my kids that we received some possible good news about your cancer. I told them in simple terms that it appears the cancer/tumors in a certain area is getting smaller. They all cheered. Mary (my youngest who starts kindergarten in two weeks) wanted me to tell you that all you need is love and prayers. You have plenty of both so that's good news. Gotta go. Will check in later.

Oh Lynn, I shouldn't have checked in this late as I feel a huge burst of energy after reading your posting. Hope is alive and He is showing us in little but significant ways. Okay, we can't get too excited until the PET results come back but I'm going with it tonight. All of us continue to storm heaven for you my friend and I know it will pay off. How many people have you made believers?! God has so much work for you to do and it is going to take years, even decades to do His will. I am going to sleep tonight keeping the faith alive and strong. Always LOOKING RIGHT because of you and boy, did your message help me through some rough patches lately. You continue to amaze me. I hope/pray that the pain you have will get better. I also pray for Dave, your kids, and your loving family/friends. Okay, I feel I can sign off with my corny saying since I'm feeling so happy. Much love and hope from New Hope, MN (of course I feel like there is NEW HOPE now). :) Love ya, Heidi

Hey Lynn what great news! Seeing is believing and if they think they are smaller then we believe it. Will wait for your PET results. Found this today, thought I would share.

The will of God will never take you,
Where the grace of God cannot keep you.
Where the arms of God cannot support you,
Where the riches of God cannot supply your needs.
Where the power of God cannot endow you.

The will of God will never take you,
Where the Spirit of God cannot work through you,
Where the wisdom of God cannot teach you,
Where the army of God cannot protect you,
Where the hands of God cannot mold you.

The will of God will never take you,
Where the love of God cannot enfold you,
Where the mercies of God cannot sustain you,
Where the peace of God cannot calm your fears.
Where the authority of God cannot overrule for you.

The will of God will never take you,
Where the comfort of God cannot dry your tears,
Where the Word of God cannot feed you,
Where the miracles of God cannot find you.

We may not see the wisdom of it all now,
But trust and believe in the Lord that everything
is for the best.

May the Lord hear all prayers for your healing and regaining the use of your arm and hand. I hope you are able to enjoy some of your time off before chemo starts again next week.

Dear Lynn,
It is always so good to hear from you............and now you had some GREAT news to share.
You know, I have been following this site for awhile, faithfully praying for you and yours. I had read about the Red Cardinal and the significance of the bird to you and your supporters. Last night, as my husband, myself and my brother were enjoying the evening in the backyard, I look up and there he is.....a beautiful, fat Red Cardinal, singing, looking towards us. I interrupted the conversation to point him out and shared the story w/ my family. (Both know about you, I have always spoke of you and they are always interested in your progress.) I told them He was there, through that creature, to remind us that prayers are being heard. Your everlasting, never ceasing faith and courage are heard. What a moment! Thanks to you, your journey and your ability to share w/all that are around you. I woke this morning, and went to your site (as always) and YEA!, you had posted.......I immediately remembered that cardinal........simply amazing.
I hope your PET results are positive and that your terrible ordeal is close to ending for you and your family. I will pray specifically for your arm and hand and fingers and that your sweet children are shielded and protected.
Thank you for sharing yourself - the strength, the courage, the fear and most importantly the faith you have in God. You are doing His work, you are a very special lady......do you know that about yourself?

Have you ever been just sitting there and all of a sudden you feel like doing something nice for someone you care for. . . THAT'S GOD. . .. He talks to you through the Holy Spirit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Have you ever been down and out and nobody seems to be around for you to talk to. .... . THAT'S GOD .. . He wants you to talk to Him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Have you ever been thinking about somebody that you haven't seen in a long time and then next thing you know you see them or receive a phone
call from them. . . THAT'S GOD ... there is no such thing as coincidence.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Have you ever been in a situation and you had no clue how it is going to get better, but now you look back on it. THAT'S GOD. . ........ He passes us through tribulation to see a brighter day.

Yes Lynn, I'm back again (kind of weird for someone who has never even met you, I bet you're thinking!) but I wanted to share something with you.

As I was reading some devotional and scripture material this afternoon, I was specifically looking for words on courage. I shared with you last week about my breast cancer diagnosis (sweet Dr. Hampe is doing my surgery later this week!) and was looking for words of encouragement from God's word.

The Lord showed me this scripture:
I am the Lord your God, who holds your right hand, and now I tell you, "Don't be afraid, I will help you."
Isaiah 41:13

As I was thinking on these words and thanking Him for leading me to them, He clearly spoke to my heart and said ... "Now share these words with Lynn. She needs to know I am with her too."

So Lynn, remember ... Don't be afraid because God has promised to be with you! And He says Himself that He is at your RIGHT HAND! So keep looking right, and you can't help but see HIM!

Praying, praying, praying ....

My dear sweet BEAUTIFUL friend-
It breaks my heart to hear that you have been feeling sad. Most of us would have felt this way a long time ago given the circumstances you've had to bear. When I read your recent entry my mind went immediately to when Jesus cried out "My God, My God, Why have You forsaken Me?". When he was on the cross with all of the sins of the world on his shoulders and pain that we can't comprehend. When even a sinless Son of God felt that for a moment he was alone. It teaches us that God has a beautiful plan that we are all here for a purpose and God will work everything together for good. You are being tested Lynn. Please be strong and remember that God will never leave you or forsake you. He's told us that in His Word.
It's good that you can recognize where you are or have been mentally. That is the "Looking Right" way... you need to see where you are in order to know what way you need to go to start "Looking Right" again.
I just came back from spending every waking second I could with my family in Maine. Family can be so healing. You are so blessed to have family able to visit with you and be with you. Concentrate on those special times you share with them. You are getting closer to your vaccine date. God hears you. You know He's listening. He will give you the answers you are looking for just keep LOOKING RIGHT.

I love you soooooo much! I'm sending a great big hug and kiss. I wish I could hold your hand and comfort you sweet friend as you have comforted me. Be Strong.

All my love,
Patricia

new hope, mn usa - Monday, August 21, 2006 9:12 AM CDT

Good morning Lynn ... as the new day starts and brings the start of a new week, I am claiming a GREAT week for you in Jesus's name!!! I have continued to prayer for you and hope that you felt the prayers of so many envelope you and encourage you this weekend.

My morning routine is to check on my "Caringbridge folks" ... I follow so many brave warriors and am always blessed and amazed by the faith and courage of these everyday people who are fighting the battle of their lives. Your story, of course, inspires me daily but so do so many others ...

Hannah from South Carolina, a 17-year-old who should be walking the halls of her high school starting her senior year but instead has been at war with Sarcoma for several months. Her story is one of incredible miracles, her site is www.caringbridge.org/visit/hannahsobeski.

Taylor is an 11-year-old identical twin who was diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic Ewings 2 years ago. Awesome kid. www.caringbridge.org/fl/taylor

Christal in Florida is a pistol! An amazing 8-year-old who has lived with a brain tumor for years and is still going strong despite a poor prognosis. www.christalinfo.com

The one who grabs my heart the most is Sweet Elizabeth who lives in Nebraska. Now 14, she was diagnosed with hepatoblastoma when she was 9. You should visit her site, it will touch your heart. /ne/lizziegirl

There are so many others that I am privileged to lift in prayer each and every day as they continue their battles. So many who, like you, continue to reach out and ENCOURAGE those visit their site instead of the other way around! I just wanted to share a few with you, to let you know you're not alone (although you know you're not!) and perhaps for you to get a bit of encouragement from them as well.

I think of you so many times during my day, Lynn, hoping that your pain is under control, that you feel rested, that are able to have some fun with those kids and that awesome "cul-de-sac gang", that your beautiful smile is on your face! I pray more than anything that your heart is not discouraged and that you are not believing the awful thoughts that Evil One is whispering your ear!!! Hang in there, dear cyberfriend. I can't imagine what you're going through, I have nothing to say or share to make it better, but I can PRAY!!!

Sorry for the rambling and I hope you don't mind me sharing the Caringbridge sites above. Have a blessed day!!

Richardson, TX - Monday, August 21, 2006 9:11 AM CDT

Hi Lynn
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!! As you know I can totally relate to the whole steriods puffiness. I need to call you to visit live! I think of you so very often and pray for you! I also can relate to the quiet voice of God and the oh so loud voice of that damn devil. I often lay in bed at night and shout in my prayers, "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE, GET OUT OF MY MIND, GET OUT OF MY BODY" I almost want to make sure the front door is open so he gets out and then slam it and lock satin out!!! God is with you Lynn. He always is! I need to hear the update on the vaccine. I will call you this week. I lost my job on Friday. The breast cancer got in the way of my success and I guess they got tired of me working and receiving treatments at the same time. I'm very disappointed and sad. The biggest plus is that I am able to spend some extra time with my girls until I find a new job. Keep in touch and I'll keep reading your journal entries! God Bless you Lynn and your family!!! Love to you!

Hey sweet friend I wanted to share this with you its a section from a book by Charles Swindoll Simple Faith and its a well known verse but just read it and take to heart the powerfull words!
Ask, and it shall be given to you;seek,and you shall find;knock,and it shall be opened to you.For everyone who asks receives and he who seeks finds,and to him who knocks it shall be opened.
Matthew 7:7-8
"Ask... seek...knock,"three powerful,momosyllabic words, all commands, urging us not to cave in with discouragement when facing the difficult or the unknown.
"Keep on asking!"
"Keep on seeking!"
"Keep on Knocking"
In childlike innocence we are to turn to our heavenly Father and trust him to do what we cannot.
"Keep on asking...seeking...knocking."
love you!! kathy

Lynn, I had a dream about you the other night. I am so sorry that we are not closer in our lives here on earth, but please know that my heart loves you and I pray for you with all my soul in God's presence! As I have visited each class this week for PTA stuff, you precious son, Jacob, has had a beautiful joy in his eyes and has greeted me with a smile and a "Hello Mrs. Gammill." I look at him and see your face. He looks so much like you! You are obviously being a GREAT mom and doing a very good job! When you are sad, seek Jacob's eyes and remember the joy God gives us in our children. No matter how you feel like you look, I see how beautiful you are in your precious children! You are truly a beautiful woman and beautiful mother! Cheer up - you are God's child and He made you beautifully.

Hope this song blesses you today

This song is one that just touched my heart

Until

Is it unfair
To say that you are leading
Then try to face this mountain on my own

Why am I scared
I�ve never stopped believing
And you have never left me all alone
Well I could get ahead of where you�ve
Led me to
But I will trust your heart enough to wait for you

Until this mountain moves
Until this path is clear
Until Your voice is the only one that I can hear
Until I see your hand
Until I know your heart
Until I trust the grace that�s carried me this far

I will be still until

How could I
Have never seen this coming
It�s not like I�ve been running
From your will
Tell me why
Each day�s another mystery
Waiting for you truth to be revealed
I try to tell my heart to trust what I believe
And wait on You through all my uncertainty

Until this mountain moves
Until this path is clear
Until Your voice is the only one that I can hear
Until I see your hand
Until I know your heart
Until I trust the grace that�s carried me this far

I will be still until

Be still my heart and of worry
Be still my restless soul
Be confident and certain
Be still and know

Lynn, you become more and more of an inspiration to me each time I visit your site or lift you in prayer. Thank God for your witness of courage and grace. Yesterday I received a confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer. Your journey has prepared my heart to do battle. I firmly believe that God planned for me to read about you and pray for you for this past year in preparation for the physical and spiritual journey that lies ahead of me. I want to be like you, to bring God glory even in the midst of something as ugly and scary as cancer. I want to encourage others as you have encouraged so many thousands of people. Thank you Lynn, for listening to His call and sharing your heart. You have no idea how you have touched me, and how your story touches thousands each day. I'm so sorry that you're going through such incredibly hard times and wish I knew what to share in your guestbook to make your journey easier, but please know that God is using your story - using YOU - in a huge way, a very mighty way, to encourage complete strangers like me! My faith grows each time I read your sweet words and those of your incredible army of friends and supporters. God is using this, Lynn!!! And you will be blessed ten-fold.

May God cradle you in His Almighty hands and hold you close, and comfort you physically, emotionally, and spiritually today.

Again, thank you.

Dear Lynn,

I check frequently for your words. I am sorry for your sadness but you will get through this. Never forget that God always walks beside you or sometimes he carries you. I will pray for you and those precious children. Remember, even though it pains you with your appearance, you are most beautiful inside. You have a big, big heart. Those who are important will love you no matter what you look like because they love you for you. Not to mention, I am always a little jealous of your appearance. You always look beautiful!

Dear Lynn, I'm praying hard this morning that today brings a new surge of energy for you to fight this beast! The light at the end of the tunnel is there and growing brighter by the day, you are almost there! You are winning this battle one day at a time, and you WILL cross that finish line!!! Each day that goes by I thank God that you are one day closer to your vaccine, one day closer to the end of your treatments, and one day closer to COMPLETE HEALING! Hallelujah!

I pray that today is a wonderful day for you, that you enjoy sweet rest and experience the renewed energy to allow you to interact with your loved ones and your army of friends, to enjoy those sweet kids, to see your own BEAUTY, STRENGTH and COURAGE that thousands of your followers around the world are in awe of. I pray for your tender heart, for Taylor and Jacob, for your precious husband and your extended family. Mostly I pray that you see yourself as GOD sees you! You are strong and powerful, Lynn, and I know without a doubt that you will finish this fight with the same grace that you have fought it all along.

What a day that will be, and we WILL be mindful to give God the glory!!!

Have a blessed day, Lynn!

I love her new rounder face because it now looks just like the face of her little angel Jacob!!! If his face isn't beautiful, then I don't know what is!

Be strong! Look Right and know that God speaks to us in ways we don't realize. He has been there all along, he just didn't want you to know it until his time was right.
Love you!

Good Morning my friend....I wanted to share something with you. Yesterday I started prayer journals with Camden and Grant for school. After I explained to them that they could tell God anything they wanted to in their journals they began writing. Both of them started their journals with prayers for you! I asked permission to share what they wrote. Grant wrote: "Dear God, Please make Ms. Lynn well so that she can play with Taylor and Jacob." Camden wrote: "Dear God, I pray so hard for Ms. Lynn to get well because she is my mom's friend." I know that my kids are not the only kids praying for you Lynn. You have an army of little ones marching alongside you as well. I love listening to a child's prayer because they just tell it like it is and ask with confidence that He will answer. I am praying that you will have smiles today and big hugs from your family! Love you bunches....Anna

Hello Lynn,

I know you have been struggling to hear God's voice lately. I saw this on another CB site and thought of you. Hope you are having a pain free and blessed day.....one step closer to a complete cure!

NO PRAYER IS WASTED

I do not think we can ever say a prayer is wasted.

Although prayer may not change a situation and give us the miracle we want, prayer changes us.

Through prayer we become more aware of God's presence.

Through prayer, we find inner resources and strength we didn't know we had.

Through prayer, we are no longer facing our fears and pain alone: God is beside us, renewing our spirit, restoring our soul and helping us carry the burden when it becomes too heavy for us to bear alone."

lorraine <lmvitris@aol.com>
plano, tx usa - Wednesday, August 16, 2006 1:33 PM CDT

Hello, friend. Our prayers will continue for you and yours. Thank you for sharing your heart with so many. You are loved by many...loved deeply by many...and the sum of that love does not even compare to the love God has for you. "For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ...that you will be able to comprehend what is the width and length and depth and height - to fully know the love of Christ which passes all comprehension..." Ephesians 3:14, 18-19. I am praying that you will know, as much as our human minds can conceive, the full measure of His love for you....His thoughts towards you are precious (Psalms 139:17)...greater in number than the grains of sand on the earth (Psalms 139:18). "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then call upon Me and go and pray to Me and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all of your heart." (Jeremiah 29:11-13) He is still there, Lynn..even when we can't see, hear or feel Him. His faithfulness is beyond comprehension...and NOT dependent upon our faithfulness. You are known and loved by Him...and I know you know Him. We are praying for "peace, joy, & patience" for your heart....you seem to have the "love, kindness, goodness and faithfulness" down (Galations 5:22 - fruit of the Spirit). Also, praying for COMPLETE HEALING from cancer and RELIEF of pain on this side of heaven! (So I think we've got you "covered spiritually and physically ;) ). Fight, Lynn, Fight!

Wow! I just finally had a chance to check your site and I was so sad when I read your post, but I was also very pleased at the fact you have the courage to express your feelings. That is so important to do, the more you can release the less depression you will feel. We can all handle your feelings and it's important that you get them off your chest. You are so amazing and such an inspiration to so many of us who may not be dealing with the issues you are but we too were these silly masks everyday to cover up the way we feel. You are truly a BEAUTIFUL person inside and out, I'm pretty sure there's nothing on this earth that could change that. Keep fighting and know that you have (based on these messages you're getting) thousands upon thousands of people praying and thinking about you.

Sorry I have been out of touch for awhile but I was vacationing with Todd's family in FL. Bailey (3) and Grayson (1) are like their cousins--crazy about water so we had a great time. This week will find me with the other 2 grandsons for almost a week. Nice for Gram to get her fix.
Now my dear, I may have been out of touch but you are not out of my prayers and thoughts. When the blues grab you maybe it will help to think about your journey along this trail seems to be doing so much for others, some complete strangers, and as you wisely have mentioned God's answers are not always what we expect or think we will hear. Your strength and witness is being used so be proud of that. Love you and yours. Aunt Mary

I will make a point of going downstairs tomorrow to see the "big kids." I am praying for you on my way to school when I see the sunrise...a new day...a gift from God that is to be celebrated. Rest well, friend, and know that Jesus rests with you tonight.

Hi Lynn. Our friend Nancy has kept us informed about your situation, and I am so sorry of your recent struggles. I bought some of your wonderful and inspiring braclets about a year ago. I told Nancy I would love to send you a picture of my husband's wrist. He chose the red one, and put it on the day I got them. He has played a year and a half on the football field, and through it all his braclet has remained, undamaged. However, it is no longer red, it is cream! He loves the message, and often thinks of you while wearing it. We will continue our prayers for you and your family, and Todd will keep wearing his braclet!! God Bless.

Hello Lynn, I read your post with such awe in how one person can seemingly take on the world and all it has to give and still find the courage to face it head on. I'm so glad you could post and share your bare facts with us. Sometimes it seems that sad black hole is going to swallow you up and never let the light shine through. You are so right to just face it head on, go through it and just feel it until it passes. Remembering God is carrying you through. I was singing this hymn in church today and wanted to share some of it--"No storm can shake my inmost
calm,while to that Rock I'm clinging" So true and so easy
to lose site of. Our inner calm can be so easily shaken.
There are days that come and go that just don't make sense,or that nothing goes right,then I realize I haven't
listened to my favorite Christian radio station or read the Bible or even said my prayers. Add to that your incredible pain and frustration as to why things are what they are. It would shake anyone to the core. Lynn, know that your family loves you just because you are you. They accept you as you are that day, good or bad, up or down. The real Lynn is there, it's not your hair or make up or clothes. It's your heart and the love you have for them.
You know that there's nothing that can shake your love for God and your family; now Satan knows it. He sees your army of love and faithkeepers even during your medication fog he cannot get hold of you! Please rely on your family and friends to help with your kids and their needs for now until you get through this and know that you are loved.
God's Peace--Love Jim and LaJean and all your MN aunts & uncles& cousins&GR&GR Berg

My heart is sad for you, your pain, your despair. No matter what your "make-up" looks like or feels like, know you are loved! You are allowed to be sad. Allow yourself to feel. You have been through so much that we cannot begin to understand. We are all voyeurs peeking in on your life...I have been amazed at your strength, optimism and faith. You have been a poster child for this awful disease and I have often wondered how would I handle myself? Could I even come close to how Lynn has handled herself? Thank you for sharing your life with us, your honesty, your joys and pains. I wish you peace and comfort and the energy to muster a smile or a warm fuzzy when you read the postings of so many people that love you. You won't be far from our thoughts. Take care, my friend.

Lynn,
Hope this finds you in comfort and peace. My heart is heavy for you, I'm sorry to hear your words with pain and frustration. I will never be able to help in the way I would like, to help ease your pain and burden, to tell you everything will be OK. I have posted many times and sent my love and strength, this time I send my prayers. I'm not much of a public prayer, I speak to him in many other ways. This time I will pray for you, pray for your peace, pray for your comfort and pray to fill your heart with hope.

"The hardest victory is the victory over self." Aristotle

I wish you victory over your thoughts of frustration and depression, most of all "I wish you Love".

Stay strong sweet friend,

I continue to read your website and pray that your physical and emotional pain subside. There are times when we all feel forsaken and let down by God and others. Life is so hard, even in the best of times. We have to keep believing that He is with us to guide us through our difficult times, even though we wish He would just take them away completely. We know through the experiences of life that the hard times just don't go away when we pray for that. What is His answer to our prayers, when painful times just go on? I don't know, but allow the love of others in your life to fill your heart and mind with strength when God's voice doesn't seem to be there. They will be your angels who get you through. Hang in there, Lynn. I'm praying for you here in Virginia, and I know that you have others pulling for you in all parts of the country. You are amazing and wonderful!

Lynn,

You are so very pure of heart; how precious that is in this world that we live in. I cannot begin to imagine your pain, your exhaustion, your frustration...and I know that we all collectively pray and wish for sweet relief for you--there is no one that deserves it more. Just know that when you look in the mirror at the face that is shining back at you, that you are indeed more beautiful than words can describe. You are a shining beacon to your precious children, to your family, your friends... And please know that as much as you realize that you need everyone, they are all needing you right back. You are wanted. You are needed. And you are SO loved. Your pure heart is helping all of us and our prayers are lifting you up to the most high--our Father. He knows your every thought. His plan will shine through, of this I have no doubt.

I wish so much for you...but above all, I wish you peace of heart and mind right now.

Much love and many hugs from afar,

Plano, Tx - Saturday, August 12, 2006 11:08 PM CDT

You came to my mind over and over again while I was working on my bible study tonight. I feel like I need to share the basic premise with you: Isaiah 26:3-4 "You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts you. Trust the Lord forever, for the the Lord, the Lord is the Rock eternal." The footnote sums it up so well..."We can never avoid strife in the world around us, but with God we can know perfect peace even in turmoil. When we are devoted to him, our whole attitude is steady and stable. Supported by God's unchanging love and mighty power, we are not shaken by the surrounding chaos. If you want peace, keep your thoughts on and your trust in God."

Lynn, I can't even begin to fathom the battle you've been fighting. It's almost certain that you are exhausted in every way imaginable. God is by your side. Even when you feel alone, he is there. He will never leave you. I am praying for you often. I will pray that you will feel thre presence of God in your life, and that the enemy will stay away from your thoughts.

Another part of my bible study tonight says, "The enemy is very cunning. Our knowledge alone will not keep us protected. What we need is a watchman sitting guard on the walls of our mind. The good news is that we have one who is willing and able if we set our minds on Him."

Lynn, you have demonstrated over and over again that your mind is on God. When all is quiet remember that God is keeping guard on the walls of your mind.

I know there are times in life when we seem to run out of prayers for one specific situation. I hope you'll find peace in knowing that when just can't come up with another prayer, there are so many people who are still praying for you -- people who don't even know you.

My Dear Sweet Lynn,
I hear your pain. I wish somehow I could take it away, but that is not reality. I know you will muddle through with grace and dignity, because that is what you do. You have to know that we (I'm speaking for the HOTTIES) are always in awe of the way you have handled all of this pain(emotional, mental, spiritual and physical). You are an inspiration to us all. You fight with such courage and faith. Please don't be so hard on yourself. You are an incredible Mother, Wife, Daughter, Sister and Friend. Just being you is all anyone needs. The rest is just fluff and we can all do with a little less fluff in our lives. I know it is easy for me to say, but this too shall pass. Remember, sometimes God's unanswered prayers are the solutions that we didn't know we needed. Listen carefully sweet Lynn...I know he is speaking to you.

All My Love,
Pam

Dear Lynn,

Reading your recent posting today has put tears in my eyes for I can readily feel (without even knowing you personally) your pain and your need to express it. I think this is an incredibly honest thing to do, and I know that your family and friends value you even more for your candor. I wish I could somehow put the "magic" on you and will every bad part of the cancer, the treatments, the routine, the pain, and the heartache away. In reality I know that no one can do that. But, I do know that God is listening to you because I firmly believe that. I also believe that God will certainly allow you to BE WHO YOU NEED TO BE without worrying that you aren't "being all things to everyone else"....I don't know you personally, but I know your heart, and I am a better person for being connected to you through Holly and your website. God has given you the horrendous task to TEACH US what true courage and valor is all about. I will continue to pray for positive outcomes, less pain, and "more reasons to smile than frown" as the days press on. I truly BELIEVE that God has a master plan and you are sitting right at the TOP of that plan for a future that will hold you in His arms.

With love,
Terri aka Teetay :)

You can see the love you have for your family in all your pictures. I pray that GOD is with you and your family everyday. You sound like a very strong women. But don't forget all that loves you will always be there to help you with open arms. So don't be afaird to ask. I only wish I could do more for you than just a few lines.

Everytime I want to log on but can't, I will say a prayer for you. You take care of your beautiful self and know so many are constantly thinking of you, praying for you, and keeping the faith that you will be healed here on earth. I also pray the pain is manageable so that you can have some time to enjoy Dave, your kids, your sister, friends, etc. I keep seeing Red Cardinals everywhere; good signs indeed. Keep LOOKING RIGHT my sweet friend Lynn. You can do this! All my love, prayers, thoughts, and friendship from Heidi.

Dearest Lynn...So sorry I missed seeing you this afternoon. I didn't realize your treatment was this afternoon. Anyway, I hope Taylor and Jacob had fun today. Camden and Grant want to know when Jacob can come back to play.On the way to our house, the boys kept talking about all of the sponge Bob episodes they had seen. They all would take a turn telling about an episode and then bust out laughing! They think Jacob is awesome! Taylor and Madeline played with their American Girl dolls the entire time! We did make pretzels which was fun...we couldn't twist them fancy so I just told them to make their initials or something! So, they all did initials. I took pictures so that you could see them in action! I am not sure if Taylor and Jacob shared with you about our cookie experiment! They all thought it was pretty funny to try and bake a cookie on the dashboard of my car! By the time we got to your house, it was pretty flat! Taylor set it on your patio table outside so I am curious to know if it ever baked all the way through! Thank you for sharing your sweet kids with us today. We LOVED having them over. I pray that your pain was minimal today. Hope you enjoyed reading the CBS soaps magazine! HA! Terri..I am so glad that I finally got to meet AUNT TERRI! You are well loved by your niece and nephew! Hugs to you Lynn......Anna

You are an amazing woman and, though you may not feel like it right now, you ARE an inspiration of strength, beauty, and mostly faith. I'll continue to lift you up in prayers. I'll continue to hope, pray, dream, and BELIEVE there is a cure for you.

WORTH REPEATING....
What Cancer Cannot Do

Cancer is so limited...

It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot conquer the spirit.

When you do not have another ounce of stength...we are all here to be strong with you and for you. You are amazing!

Hi Lynn:

It saddens me deeply to know you are not in a good place!!!! It is not surprising considering EVERYTHING YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH!!!! I would have been down and out long ago!!!! Your strength and spirit are truly amazing!!! As a woman though, I know when we gain weight, we don't feel our best, but, do know it is only temporary!!! I too was on steriods for a condition, and know the effects!
I wished I looked as good as you when I was on them. I thought you looked beautiful in Jacobs birthday pictures!! And what a looker he is......your phone is going to be ringing off the hook! lol lol

Anyway, wanted you to know that I am thinking of you always!!!! Hope your treatment goes well today and your able to rest peacefully and enjoy your wonderful family!

Much Love,
Lisa

I'm so happy you heard His voice again. I pray you continue to hear Him daily. You are amazing and your ability to open up to us touches so many of us inside where it matters. Your beauty inside radiates outside no matter if the "mask" is on or not on as there is no hiding your beauty inside and out. I'm sorry you have to feel so yucky because of the meds and treatments. I'm grateful your family is there for you. Please know you have an invisible army surrounding you too sending love, hope, faith, encouragement, and just support to hold you up when you are too tired to stand alone. You are going to beat this Lynn. We are ALL here with you running this difficult marathon alongside of you. I wish I could take the pain and sadness away. Like a poem I somewhat recall says, "Friends double the joy and divide the grief." Right now we are all trying to help you with your pain and journey in all different ways. Soon, we will all be there to help celebrate and "double the joy" when you are cancer free. All my love from New Hope, MN (Heidi).

Omaha, NE USA - Friday, August 11, 2006 12:01 AM CDT

Lynn,
It saddens me to hear you are crying inside but thank you SO MUCH for letting it out and telling us all. Depression is an ugly thing that gets hold tight and can bring down even the best of people. As we talked about, I am all too aware of putting on the "mask" so nobody knows the true feelings inside. I also know that people telling you otherwise does not change your thoughts, feelings or perceptions. However, the BIG difference is that you have the faith - although being tested - you have the faith and HE IS THERE!! Hang on to that faith and to Him, it WILL pull you through. ALso know, these feelings will NOT last forever. I know it may feel that way now and that there is no way out but I promise you will end up on the other side of this sadness! Please keep letting your true feelings out - we can handle it and WANT to take some of the burden for you. Praying for you more than ever, that the chemo is doing its job, that the vaccine will come sooner than later, that your pain can become more manageable and that these feelings start to lessen. Take care. I love ya and miss ya!!

Richardson, TX - Friday, August 11, 2006 9:55 AM CDT

Lynn,
I, like the others that have written, don't know the right words to say. What you are feeling has got to be normal in your situation. You have been going through the motions waiting for the vaccine and waiting to feel "good" and it must get so old. I saw you last night and I thought you looked radiant, happy and beautiful. I hope that you can continue to feel Him on your side. And I, like so many others, am praying for you every day. Keep strong and positive and know there is a light at the end of this long and lonely tunnel. Next year at this time, you will be looking and feeling fantastic and you and Dave will be out celebrating your anniversary and all of this will be IN THE PAST! You know right after you have a baby, you say you would never want to do that again? I had Gunnar naturally and I think I must have been crazy. I swore I would never have another baby ever again! Well, then I forgot about the pain in about five minutes and then two years later, I had Murphy naturally. All of this ugly cancer will soon be a distant memory, too. Next year, you and your family will look back on the past and remember it but not dwell on it. Taylor and Jacob are so happy and wonderful. Just because you cannot swim with them or do what you want to do with them does not make them any less happy. They are surrounded in love by you and Dave and their aunt and grandparents and friends and neighbors and new classmates.
I am glad your mom and dad got back to help pick you back up! You have so many friends that love you and want to help pick you up, too.
Hang in there, Lynn. He is with you all the time.
Much, much love and support,
Erin

Dear Lynn-I think of you often and include you in my prayers.

Dear Lynn,
Of course you feel sad, you are only human. My mind is searching for the "right" things to say, but at the the moment, my heart is heavy for you and I have nothing courageous or uplifting to offer. I could tell you all day long that you are beautiful, that you will make it and all of those types of "go get it" attitudes, but you know all of that. Logically, you know God is with you, your family is with you and you have a wonderful, loving support system. However, sometimes, the comfort is not there, and I can completely understand your position (not your ordeal, but your insecurity). In fact, it shocks me that you don't feel this way more often. When I come to your site everyday to hopefully read your words, I am reminded of your strength. Your amazing strength and courage. You really don't know how you have touched my life and the lives of so many! We, as children of God, have the ability to make connections w/complete strangers. It's funny, we have never really had a "friendship", but you are on my mind and in my prayers everyday. I think of you when I am away from home. I looked for you at the school, and lo and behold, you were there. And even though you don't know me much, you came to me, we came together, and you squeezed me, and I loved it. I held back tears b/c Lynn, you are so beautiful, thinking of others always and trying to always see the positive. That may be the "face" you put on, but considering the situation, you really do a GREAT job of it! Remember Lynn, the cancer is NOT you and you are NOT the cancer. I know that it has overtaken your life, but it cannot make you less of a person or mother, even if you can't take a swim with your kids. You have given gifts of wisdom to your children and those around you that are intangible, we carry them w/us in our hearts. Your children will only grow strong from this terrible ordeal and your family closer. Through this website and seeing you just a few times, I can say, I LOVE YOU!!! You are an inspiration to all of us, maybe you can find comfort in that. Sometimes talking to a stranger is easier than to the ones closest to you. If the day comes that you want to talk to me, I am here for you. In the meantime, I will continue to pray for you and family and check you site and hope to catch a hug from you now and then. Just remember, your task here on Earth is unique compared to the rest of us. You are right where you are supposed to me and the plan for you will continue and all of us out here will love you indefinitely and support you the best we can. Please take care, and don't let yourself fall apart inside, you are amazing! Love,
Susan Whitworth <swhitworth@mac.com>

Precious Lynn,
Even though my heart breaks at the thought of you crying inside, it is certainly to be expected that you would go through a valley of sadness every now and then. I believe that even though you might not feel that you have 'heard" God's voice, He is steadfastly walking right beside you and holding you up in those difficult days. He is the reason we take our very next breath. I know your grief is His, your pain is His. He promised never ever to leave you, Lynn. It is so okay to feel sad sometimes...all the people that surround you feel some sadness too. You never have to hide behind a mask before Him or before those who love you. It is YOU that we love, pure and simple! Your God-given beauty is so very refreshing to all who know you. I pray that God continues to bless you today, and that His love is tangible to you. I pray that His love consumes your every thought. Rest with Him today in your comfy "green chair" and know that He will be there right by your side. I love you!

Lynn- My heart aches for you, and I (like many I am sure) wish I knew the right words to say... Even on your "ugliest" day you are so beautiful to David, your children and everyone who loves you. One thing about true friends and family I have learned over the years, you don't need make-up for them, they love you most when you are at your "ugliest". I know it is easy for me to say, but I mean it with all my heart....forget the "make-up" just surround yourself with those who love you and see the beautiful person that you are....Love, hugs and positive thought coming your way...

My sweet friend...Your post tonight brought tears to my eyes because it made me so sad to know just how much you are truly going through. Unless you have been through what you are enduring, it is sometimes hard to know all the little things that cancer can do to dampen your spirits. First of all...YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT! You have the most incredible smile that radiates beauty. I wept when I read that you were feeling unattractive because I know as well as so many other people that that is just not so. God made you into a beautiful woman Lynn Newman! I am praying for you tonight that God will keep that jerk Satan away from you and that all of your sadness will be turned into joy. I do want to thank you for always being so honest about your feelings..it would probably be easy to just say your doing okay and things are fine, but your honesty helps all of us know what exactly we need to pray for. I so wish I could give you a huge hug right now my friend. The kids are looking forward to playing with Taylor and Jacob tomorrow. I hope I will get to see you and give you a hug! Keep fighting my friend. Love you bunches! On my knees for you....Anna

Dear Lynn

Keep listening for HIS voice Lynn! It is there! I am so sorry for all that you have been feeling lately. Keep Looking Right and hold onto your blessings!!!!!! The day will come when all of this YUCK will be a distant memory!!!! You are a beautiful, loving person no matter what the medicine does to your appearance! I am so grateful that we have met through our girls - I just wish that we had moved here years ago so I'd know you as well as everyone else right now- but I know that that time is coming!!!!

Em and I caught a glimpse of you and your mom leaving the school tonight as we were walking in (WELCOME BACK GRANDMA)!!! As soon as Emily met Ms. Kidwell, she found her desk and then immediatly looked for Taylors - she needed that reassurance that Taylor would indeed be with her!

I'll be thinking of you Sunday when I am at the store picking up flowers for the Boo Hoo Breakfast - Jenny had told me that you brought flowers last year and then brought them home for your anniversary celebration - Happy Anniversary to you and Dave - next year, you can bring the flowers again for the breakfast!

Love and Prayers - Kathy

Loved the slide show. Happy belated Jacob and Happy Anniversary Lynn and Dave!! Wow, so many exciting days in such a short time. I am so looking forward to the day when we celebrate years being cancer free! Wow, what a celebration that will be.

Emily (by the way she is going to go by Emma this year. HA!) is very excited to be sharing a classroom with Jacob this year. We met with Mrs. Arnold tonight and she is going to be so great for our kids! Allison is bummed she and Taylor aren't in the same class, but has assured me that they can always hook up at recess. How precious is that?

I so miss seeing you. Once we get the kiddos in school, we need to have a girls lunch in. You pick the day and I'll bring the food. I hear you have a soft spot for PeiWei. Me too!! Maybe Jenny, Candace, Holly and whoever might be in the area can join and we can have our own back to school party! I'll bring the hats!!

I am hoping you have received a package from me this week.

I pray that you are having some good days with less pain.

The new pictures are wonderful. Even though we have never

met, there is no doubt I would know you or your kids if

our paths crossed in a Dallas mall! I have never

physically heard your voice, but I think I would know

it in a room full of people. I look forward to the day I

get to meet you, and see a healthy Lynn.

Sending many prayers and a bucket full of hope.

Love,

Hi Lynn!
The slideshow of the b-day was great! Considering I still use my old Olympus 35mm and don't even have a digital camera yet - I am VERY impressed!! It's sad when my son can change my ringer on my phone and surf the net on it and I don't have a clue - they are so much more advanced than we are! Seeing the pictures was wonderful because it shows that despite all your pain, your inner beauty and spirit sure do shine through your smile :) Am hoping and praying you have a restful, pain managed week to enjoy the last few days with the kiddos before school. You are such a beautiful person inside and out, hang in there girl!! Love, Vicky

Thinking of you this am... and hoping that you are feeling ok....the boys have had lots of questions for me since we saw you on Sunday... some serious and some funny... Logan asked this morning if you still had hair in your armpits... ha ha.. I was like... that's one place girls don't want hair... hope that strikes a funny cord with you as I know it did with me... you know they say... Laughter is the best medicine...maybe we should all start posting funny stories or jokes to make sure we all have laughter in our lives... sometimes thats so easily by=passed with all the seriousness and chaos with busy schedules we all have... so Laugh... sending you some chuckles ))))))along with some hugs OOOOO this morning....

Lynn, i heard on the news tonight about a drug for advanced breast cancer called SUTENT. It was an article from a Mayo oncologist. They were really excited about it. Hoping that my ears caught it right. It reduces tumors by 1/3 and advanced br. cancer by 15%. It was just a short section on the news but thought I would pass on the info. Love you and praying for you. New saying, "CHOOSE THE JOY"!

Dear Lynn and "fam"...
I 've been OUT OF POCKET for several weeks now traveling to two conferences for About Face and NFED which are both associated with Allyson's syndrome, EEC. I have thought of you each day, and the reason that you have so been in my thoughts is that I've met EXTRAORDINARY folks (Like you!) who have made the EXTRAordinary INTO the ORDINARY~!! JUST LIKE YOU> I will continue to pray for you each day and wish you pain free days and reasons to count your smiles/not your frowns.

Remember.."it takes more muscles to frown than smile"....I used to SING that to my girls, and they've recently REMINDED me of that phrase. A good one, right??

Love to you and fam...and best wishes as the school year begins!!! TAKE good CARE.

YOU ARE LOVED, Lynn Newman~~

I'm very happy that you mom is doing well, by the way let her know she looks great. I was good to see Teri in the birthday pictures as well. You have such a beautiful family all the way around.

Logging in to say hello. Hoping chemo went okay yesterday and that you are not in too much pain today or this weekend. The new photos are great. Thanks Holly! Last night I had a visit from my nephew (26 years old) and his new girlfriend. Somehow the subject came to you (the girlfriend asked about my pink bracelet). So, your message was given to two young people who thought it was pretty cool. I think I may have talked too much about you and your family, your journey, and how you have touched so many people (imagine me talking too much!) as all of a sudden my kids were in bed and I didn't even realize it. Any way, my nephew Troy and his girlfriend were just hanging on every word about you. FYI: My nephew is in AA. He is trying to find God and keep God in his daily life and I truly feel like his visit last night was meant from our good Lord. After hearing your story, I could tell he was so touched by your faith and strength (and inspired). My sweet friend Lynn you just keep on doing God's work even thousands of miles away in MN. You can do this Lynn. As Jill says FIGHT SISTER FIGHT! Much love, support, prayers, faith, and mostly hope from the Isaak Family (Heidi, Randy, Emma, Armond, and Mary). :)

Dear Lynn, Just finished our relay for life,walkathon with Connie and Kelsey. It was a sight to behold luminaries around both sides of the track of the highschool! It was a thought provoking evening as we walked and talked. Kay and her daughter Suzanne with her son Steven. Mary and me(of course), and Connie and Kelsey. The team "For the love of Lynn" made around $2500.00. And we also had some pretty fancy luminaries in your honor, Kay and I spent one afternoon "Coloring " our share. We went out for lunch for our birthdays and went to her place and started decorating the luminaries. Good fun along with alot of talk. (Smart and otherwise,we solved so many of the world's problems) Connie will be sending some pictures of the relay to you soon. It wasn't the outcome you had in the Susan B. Komen relay,but it was very touching just the same.
Lynn we so hope you are getting along better. It would be our hope that God takes away the pain and the fears you endure. Give Him your heart and soul to soothe and we pray he will calm your fears. It is so hard to see, but He does have a perfect plan for you and your family. And it is so hard to wait for his perfect timing, but wait we must, remembering that He doesn't give you more than what He can help you through. Praying for you daily and always sending well wishes from your Mn aunts and uncles and cousins and Gr&GR Berg We love you and long for your time when this will seem far away. Love Jim&LaJean

Hi Lynn!

Sounds like Jacob had a fabulous party! Hoping that chemo went well for you today!

Emily waited with bated breath the other day as I got word via cell phone who everyone had for their third grade teachers. Her face fell as we heard who Sydney, Allyson & Julia had and then just as "little Miss Drama" thought that she would'nt have "any friends in third grade" we got THE call........

Miss Taylor Newman will be in her class!

Please tell Taylor that Emily is thrilled and can't wait to see her once we get back from Chicago!

As always, praying for good days and hoping that your Mom &Dad will be back soon!!!!!!

Kathy
Ps - Em just saw what I was doing and wanted me to tell Taylor from her that she can't wait to tell her about her trip to American Girl Place - she actually got to go twice - we went back yesterday with her Dad and the poor guy almost had a heart attack when he saw how much "damage" we did in a short time:) - Daddy's don't aways understand these things do they?:)

Happy Birthday sweet Jacob! How did he get to be 7? How is it possible that our kids are getting so old? How is it that time seems to go so fast in reference to our children's age and yet three month for a vaccine seems like an eternity?
Keep the faith my friend! I will be praying you through Chemo from my home. I know you will be exhausted from battling the "army" party and the "chemo" party. I am praying for rest for you tonight, no pain, your sweet mother, those precious children of yours, safe travel for Dave, effective chemo seeion and especially for God's protection over your family.
Love You!

Precious Lynn,
I KNOW today was so much fun for ya'll! Jacob was so excited about his birthday, and he told me all about the "army birthday party" that would take place today. I have to tell you...time spent with him and Taylor yesterday was a treasure to me. I laughed and laughed...those two are more than special. I so look forward to school starting, and watching how our great God orchestrates every single detail at Hicks. It will be awesome, for sure. I pray that you get plenty of rest tonight after such a big day. Know that your whole "army" of warriors are praying and knowing that you soon will be strong. I love you!

Happy Birthday Jacob! Wow, can't believe you are 7 years old now. I had a baby boy in my tummy when your mom delivered you. Armond is about 6 months younger than you. Your sweet mom sent me all your clothes so I could dress Armond just as sweet as your mom dressed you (like a little JFK). :) You two boys are growing up too fast! Enjoy your day and give your mom a big hug from me okay. Also, tell your mom we LOVE the sunshine pictures on the front page. It makes me feel happy. Love from the Isaak family in MN.

Lynn, I recently heard of an incredible (and beautiful!) young girl from South Carolina who is battling cancer (presently inpatient at MD Anderson in Houston) and I have been following her progress via her Caringbridge site. She and her family and entire network of supporters are such awesome witnesses of Christ's power and love. Reading her journal and guestbook entries remind me of coming here to your site! If you want to be uplifted and inspired, visit www.caringbridge.org/visit/hannahsobeski.

Saw this prayer and thought of you.....

May today there be peace within.

May you trust God that you are exactly

where you are meant to be.

May you not forget the infinite possibilities

that are born of faith.

May you use those gifts that you have received, and

pass on the love that has been given to you .

May you be content knowing

you are a child of God.

Let this presence settle into your bones, and

allow your soul the freedom to sing,

dance, praise and love.

It is there for each and every one of us .

Good Morning Sweet Friend,

I am sitting at my desk listening to the prettiest song from a bird outside my study. Everything else is quiet and he is just belting out a tune he is proud to share!

Lynn...it has felt SO GREAT having you outside visiting with us in the early morning watching our crazy cul-de-sac kids run about. I am longing for the days where it isn't so HOT and we can watch them at the end of the day.

I'll look forward to seeing you some today and pray that it is a fantastic day for you sweet friend.

Thanks Holly for the recent entry. My computer was out of commission all weekend. I realized I am somewhat of a "Lynn addict" as I like to log on daily to check any updates and say hello. It was hard not being able to do this over the weekend. Thankfully the problem was fixed just minutes ago so here I am. Sounds like you had a party with chemo which is the way to do it for sure. I will pray for pain relief for you my sweet friend Lynn and that those pills arrive today as scheduled. Your mom is also in my prayers as well as Dave, your kiddos, your sister, in-laws, and your faithful friends. Keep up the fight and always LOOK RIGHT! :) Love, Heidi

Good morning sweet friend ~

It's been a day or two now and surprisingly I have not grown long, floppy ears or a twitchy nose yet from eating that rabbit food you "normal humans" refer to as SALAD!!! HA! (It's only taken me 30-some years but I am slowly getting there!!! HA) But I don't want to shock my digestive system too much at once so I'll keep my usual daily routine of M&M's & cherry Dr.Pepper going!

I am praying that today is not just a "good" day but a GREAT day for you! Enjoy your sweet kiddos every second........it's just 2 weeks from today until school starts back.

Keep moving that mountain girlie - YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

Love you to pieces ~ Jen

Sorry, I have been out of touch in the last week but I was out of town for some much needed down time. It was good to catch up this morning with all that is going on with you. I want you to know I am praying hard for you and your family. When I was getting ready to come home yesterday I was bringing my luggage up from where I was staying and I was looking up at this beautiful, huge tree and what should I see but this amazing red cardinal. I couldn't believe it. Of course I thought of my sweet friend Lynn. I will be in touch by phone this week. Love ya, Jules

Thank you, Holly, for keeping all of us in cyberspace up to date. Thank you, Lynn, for your ongoing inspiration! Your courage and patience never cease to amaze me! It was fun to meet you over the phone the day that Terri got there. You sound just like her. It must be wonderful having your dear sister with you. I hope Jacob has a fabulous birthday party later this week! I'm sure his Aunt Terri being there will make it special! She really knows how to do that and was really looking forward to being there for his birthday! I hope and pray you will be able to enjoy his special day, too! Anyway, my prayers are for you to be pain-free, that the last chemo treatment won't affect you more adversely than it already has and that whatever effects you are feeling will disappear pronto! I also pray that your mother's reports are clear and that she recovers thoroughly from the heart episode she had last week and that she is pain-free as well. With much aloha and prayer from Hawaii, Barbara PS Happy Birthday, Jacob!!

Thank you for having wonderful Holly post and keep us updated! We are still in Chicago - Emily experienced American Girl world yesterday and had an "overwhelmed" but thrilled look on her face the whole time and kept commenting on how much Taylor and all her friends would "love it here"!

Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you always - I'm happy that chemo was so quick on Friday and that your sister arrived safely and that the kids are enjoying her so much! I pray that all will be well with your sweet Mom and she will be back in TX ASAP! Praying that your pain is tolerable this week!

I hear that third grade assignments will be out soon - as soon as we hear via cell phone this week - we'll be getting the message back to TX as to who Em will have:)

Lots of love and prayers! - Kathy

Sweet Lynn,
I spent last night with my daughter in Waco. She is a junior at Baylor, and someone you would truly love. She is a beauty, just like Taylor. I noticed two stones on top of her T.V. last night (when we were trying to hook up her VCR...what a dinosaur!). One stone had the word strength inscribed on it. The other had the word confidence on it. I thought of you as I held them in my hand...knowing that you know these two words so much better than I do. You know strength in the very real meaning of the word. I've seen you be strong in so very many ways. I also admire the way you display confidence...the confidence that you receive from Christ...the confidence that gives you strength. That kind of confidence is the kind, I believe that carries us from today to tomorrow. It comes from God alone and it is a gift. Thanks for giving that gift to everyone around you. Your heart impacts so many!
I will never stop praying, and I hope you know I love you!

Just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you

tonight and praying that you are having less pain.

Also, praying for your Mom and Dad and hoping that she has

received a good report! Your courage is amazing. Even

though we have never met,nor even talked, I feel that I

know you as a dear friend. My Dad was diagnosed with

cancer this past week, while we were on vacation. This

week was filled with doctors visits, consultations,
and

overwhelming information. WE began this journey with him.

I went back and read many of your posts and will share

many of those things with him. Thank you for sharing your

life with us, that are just cyber friends, but we share

the same Father. WE were at a Faith Hill and Tim McGraw

concert a few weeks ago, and Faith sang the most beautiful

rendition of "I Surrender All" and then acapella, she

sang "It Is Well With My Soul".

Both songs reminded me of

you!

Hang on to Hope.
Much love,
Teresa

Hey Girlfriend, I hope you know that there isn't a morning over evening that goes by that I am not praying for you and your family. That God is protecting all of you. Please let us know how your mom is doing when you can. I'm so happy your sister is there for you! Your sister sounds so wonderful. I know that you know this but it's amazing how blessed you've been with the family and friends you have. So many people who love and care for you.
I'm praying specifically for your chemo today. Please Father allow the chemo to work this time and to stop the growth of the cancer and give our sweet Lynn some pain free rest until her vaccine is ready.
Stay focused Lynn and keep your goal in mind. It's SO easy to allow those dark thoughts in. I remember when I was a little girl and when I would be upset at night time my mom would always tell me you need to rest and you'll feel better. I remind myself of that as an adult and it works. Those evil thoughts make their way into our minds when our body is tired and we let our guard down. Don't let Satan catch you with your guard down! Stay strong. Try to rest and remember you are in God's hand and have a world full of people who love you and are praying for you.

Love you. KEEP LOOKING RIGHT!

You've been on my mind this morning, as most days, and have been lifted up in prayer as you receive your chemo treatment today.

I was quite down earlier, sorely missing my sweet Mom who went to heaven just 86 days ago. I tried to put my sorrow out of my mind, to release it to God, to have an "attitude of gratitude" and not one of "wallow in my sorrow". As I turned my mind back to the work at hand waiting on my desk, I started humming. Without even realizing at first what the tune was, it dawned on me that I was humming this song:

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn.
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light.
Take my hand, Precious Lord,
Lead me home.

That hymn always brings me so much comfort, knowing I can reach out and take God's hand for strength when I can't make it on my own. Singing it softly to myself this morning helped me get through my moment of mourning, and give thanks to the Lord for his ever-present help and comfort.

As I was having these thoughts this morning, my thoughts also immediately went to you. I can't even begin to imagine how "tired, weak, and worn" you must be. And although I know you ARE holding God's hand throughout your journey, I wanted to share this hymn with you today and let you know that it is my prayer for you right now, that you hold tight to Jesus and lean on Him today throughout this difficult day of chemo and in the days of battle ahead of you.

Blessings to you Lynn.

Thinking of you today as you have chemo. Praying that the chemo kills those nasty cancer cells. So glad to hear from reading guest book entries that your sister made it okay. Thanks in advance Anna Rainwater for loaning Lynn the "Pollyanna" movie. I hope you and your kiddos can watch it together. I am going to mail you the Children's Illustrated version (the book my daughter and I just read) to you for you and Taylor (Jacob too if he desires). It is so darn cute and she has the same attitude you do my friend. Here's to LOOKING RIGHT today at chemo! Love ya,

Lynn...I smiled when I read Heidi's guestbook entry because just last week I was cleaning out our video drawer and I came across our "Pollyanna" video. I actually had in mind to give it to you to borrow to watch with Taylor because I thought it had such a great message! We have seen that movie soooo many times! Anyway...Heidi is right...YOU are our "Pollyanna"! I am so glad I got to see you on Tuesday and hug you! I pray that Terri had a nice trip to Dallas and that the two of you will have a grand time together. I am thinking of you today my friend! Hugs...Anna

I saw Melissa at school today, and she said she took the kids to see "CARS" and had such fun with them! Isn't she wonderful? Also, no more worries about the wrap packs...done deal. I am praying for your adorable mom, and know that all will go well for her. She is certainly a strong woman...just like you. I hope today was a beautiful day for you. I hope you celebrated the love that surrounds you all the time. I went to school today and it felt so familiar...a place to give and to love. Aren't we fortunate? Well, you have a great night's rest. I will call next week to take Jacob and Taylor to Maggie Moo's. I love you!

We are leaving to go out of town to visit some family and friends in Chicago tomorrow. Emily is so excited to go to lunch at American Girl Place on Saturday. We are all excited to see what third grade she will be in - as soon as I know (Kim Gammill is going to get my mail and call me) - I will definetly get the word out!

Hoping that your parents arrived back in AZ safely and all will go well with your MOm's tests and she'll be back here quickly. Hope your sister arrived and is spending some wonderful time with you! Hoping that you are having less pain.

I'll be thinking and praying for you as always while we are away!

"I waited patiently for the LORD; He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD."

Have a good day, Lynn!

Praying today is a good day for you and your family. When Emma and I were reading the book "Pollyanna" I thought of you in so many ways. Just now, I wanted to share something from the book. Pollyanna wished for something special from her church group (Ladie Aiders so she calls them). Any way, what she wished for didn't arrive. Instead, a pair of crutches arrived. Pollyanna was so sad. It was then that her dad taught Pollyanna the "Glad Game." The point of the game is to find something glad in everything. The harder it is to find something glad, the better the game is for all. So, Pollyanna's dad told her to begin with the arrival of the crutches. Pollyanna couldn't think of anything to be "glad" about getting crutches. Her dad said, "Be glad you don't have to use them." Hence, the game began and Pollyanna instantly knew how to continue this game even after her dad died. Pollyanna found something glad in everything even during dark days. Pollyanna's game was contagious and changed the lives of many people in her town. She touched people and changed them for the better. You too always seem to find something glad in your day even when the pain is tough or the days are dark. Thank you for teaching and touching so many of our souls through your faith, love, and attitude. Like Pollyanna, your LOOKING RIGHT way of life is contagious. Keep LOOKING RIGHT my friend. Love, Heidi

Thank you for typing despite the pain. I hope the pain has been better my friend. You are going to beat this Lynn. We can see the light. Oh yeah, Emma and I were reading Pollyanna together this past week. After chatting about her and her amazing outlook on life (and her "glad game"), we realized Pollyanna is always LOOKING RIGHT. FYI: Pollyanna is so happy inside and out; must be the "glad game" theory (same as your LOOKING RIGHT concept). Again and always, LOOKING RIGHT for you, because of you, and with you. :) Love, Heidi

Your mom has been added to my prayer list, as well as your father too. I hope you will keep us updated on your Mom's progress. I pray she can be seen by the right doctor quickly and get this problem resolved. Lynn, it goes without saying that you continue to be in my prayers as well. I so appreciate your sweet Holly keeping us informed when it is difficult for you to do so.

I was in Dr. Hampe's office yesterday and rather than being nervous as I thought I might be, my visit there put me in a spirit of continual prayer for your quick and complete recovery from this disease and its side effects. Lifting you in prayer had a calming effect on my heart, and I asked the Lord to give you that same peace. Remember that God is with you every step of this difficult journey, He will see you safely through it.

Dear Lynn,
We just returned from our family beach vacation, and as usual, you were always in the back of my mind. I prayed for you and your family and felt somewhat lost b/c I had no access to your site. I am sorry for the newly added stress of your Mother and pray for her that she will feel better and get the answers she needs at the Mayo Clinic. I will pray for safe travels for your parents and your sister and am so thankful that you have a wonderful support system. Sometime, right after school let out, my mother in law has come to live with us. She is having her own medical issues and has severe depression due to losing her husband, her soul mate four years ago, suddenly to CANCER. I have used your example many times to her, to remind her that her mind is powerful and though YOU are feeling like total crap, you manage to put a smile on, spread your wisdom and courage to others. So, my point is, you touch lives EVERYWHERE, and again, I thank you. I will continue to pray for you and maybe, one day, we will see each other again and I can get another hug from you. Because the last time we saw each other, your hug was felt by me for a long long time. Take care and keep your chin up. Your perseverence and faith will pull you through. Your courage amazes me.
Love,

Dear Sweet Friend,

I woke early this morning and on and off through the night. God has been listening to me talk about you and your family all night!

That one song "Blessed Be The Lord" popped in my head and I couldn't get it out. The words keep replaying....each day isn't easy yet I am amazed at the small and big blessings God gives us each day. Focusing on the blessings helps those rough spots. God works out the details just like he worked it out that my kiddos were covered so I could see you yesterday! You are SO LOVED sweet friend!!

Remember the "I BELIEVE" card? Well, I found another...I BELIEVE in mind over matter. I BELIEVE in the human spirit to prevail. I BELIEVE in miracles and blessings, both great and small. I BELIVE in possibilities. I BELIEVE that hurdles in life are meant to be jumped over, not something to stop us. (that's you Lynn...keep jumping!) I BELIEVE in YOU!!!

Love you SO big,

Holly

Dear friends and family -
A few times this past week Lynn and/or I attempted to post but it never happened. One thing she had mentioned that she wanted you to know was the appreciation for all the prayers - especially regarding the swim team dinner for Jacob. What Lynn told me later and asked me to post was that Jacob was indeed proud to have his sweet, beautiful Mom with him, HOWEVER, Taylor was present too and was seated next to Lynn. Lynn said Taylor was more than thrilled to have Mommy beside her to celebrate Jacob's achievement. Taylor vocalized her pleasure to Lynn at prayer time that night and Lynn knew for sure her prayers had been answered. So...thank you for the prayers...please keep them coming...not only for the ones listed on the front but for all the ones previously listed.

Please keep the guestbook entries coming...they are more helpful than you could know:-)

Love,
Hol

Hi Friend...Just now checking on you at this late hour! I am so sorry to hear about your mom. We will be praying for her and for your dad as well. I am also praying that you will not worry about your mom and that you will trust God to take care of her so that she can return to be by your side. I am so sorry that all of this has occured. What a blessing that your sister is coming to help out. I will be bringing your meal by tomorrow. Hopefully it will taste alright! You know me..."cooking" is not one of my gifts! I do try though! I saw a cardinal sitting on our fence this morning out back. I watched it as I was waiting for my biscuits to cook in the oven. I got so mesmerized by how long this cardinal was sitting on the fence that the biscuits almost burned! That cardinal sat there for almost 10 minutes!!! I also prayed for you as I watched it being ever so still. It brought to mind how often I DON'T sit still and listen to God. Anyway, I love you my friend and I pray you are getting much needed rest tonight! See ya tomorrow! Hugs...Anna

Lynn,

I have been away from email a few days when I was in MN for my class reunion but I have not stopped thinking about you....
Remember the friend of Kathy and I that we told you has never taken off his Looking Right bracelet....Well I saw him and his wife... She said "Look at his wrist... it's still there" and there it was... he still has it on... it's totally clear. It has no color... He moved it and he had a total tan line.... I asked him "why" he hasn't taken it off... EVER... Not ONCE... he said...because it has such a great meaning... when he is having a tough day for whatever it is... he thinks of what that saying means.... and then he puts his day in perspective... then he also said, because he thinks of you... a mother, and a wife, and of you fighting this awful cancer.... and even though you don't know him personally--- he rooting for you... it just goes to show Lynn, you have touched soooo many peoples hearts... and we are all shouting from the roof tops "you can do it!!!"
We love you Lynn!!! You can Do it!!!! Look to the Right....
Just to post this little clip again to remind all of us-- what your sweet husband wrote to you and where the Looking Right saying comes from... Here ya go....
"So, here we are in the middle of a mess with too much life ahead of us for any negative thoughts. Truly are journey over the last 1.5 years has been frightening, painful and numbing, but it easy to focus on the negative. I have always told you that aspects of our lives are lined up and yes, if we look left, there is a very frightening cancer doing its best to beat us down, but if we look right and count the endless blessings that exist (faith in a living God, children, each other, family, friends and so on)� well, the left isn�t so scary anymore."

I was thrilled to read that you made it to Jacob's banquet! How proud he must have been to have you there! Sweet little ones know what matters most--the love, the hugs, the support, the praise... Throughout all of your posts, you have constantly put your kiddos first and foremost. You are a fantastic mother, Lynn, and I thank you for your shining example. I hope and pray that your chemo went well, that it kills your cancer, that the vaccine will move forward QUICKLY, that our precious Lord's steadfast hand will protect you from pain , that Satan will be beaten back and stay far away from you and your family, and that you will have renewed energy & stamina to beat this horrible disease.

I wish you all the love & happiness your sweet heart and hands can hold.

STAY STRONG & FIGHT!

Hi Lynn,
You do not know me, but I used to teach at Legacy Church Mom's Day Out and remember your beautiful smile and adorable Jacob well. You are in my prayers daily, throughout each day, and though we do not know each other, your strengh gives strength to me and so many others. You are a precious child of God and are touching so many lives. I continue to pray for immediate pain relief and ultimate healing. I pray you feel the warmth of so many hands lifted in your name and that want to reach out and hold you, that God continues to give you daily signs of His presence, and will shelter you from the Devil's thoughts of fear and anxiety. "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus." Phillipians 4:7

I am so thankful that you were able to attend Jacob's ceremony!! Last night after reading Holly's post, I was overcome and fell to my knees to throw you up in prayer. Remember our conversation last summer, this was HUGE for me. And to know that He heard, answered and is carrying you on this journey is humbling. I know you still have a huge burden and long journey, but I TRULY believe you will beat this and continue to amaze us all through Him!! Sending all my heartfelt thoughts and prayers to you and Dave. Take care Lynn and pray the pain will become manageable. Friends,
Vicky

Sweet L ~
My face hurts from all the laughs we had today.........REMEMBER: What happens in chemo - stays in chemo!!! (Darren, that goes for you as well - HA HA!!!) It always makes my heart feel sooooooo good to see a smile on your face, even though it was a rather "loopy" smile......it showed what was in your heart & it's always a blessing to witness that!

ALWAYS praying for you - ALWAYS sending my love to you - Jen

Aloha Lynne and Holly!

Thank you for your posting, Holly! Lynne, I continue to humbly ask our Heavenly Father to cradle you in the palm of His hands and to grant you total release from pain. I'm also asking Him to resolve the stomach issues and horrible attacks you started having. "Heavenly Father, I beseech you to keep Satan far from dear Lynne. Also, please grant your most precious gift of peace to her, her family and all others near and dear to her." Keep Looking RIGHT, Lynne! Much love, Barbara

We see you attend so many programs at school, and stand in awe of your strength and courage. I will be praying throughout the day today, Lynn, that chemo goes well, and just know it will.

Oh girl, tears of joy!!! I'm so happy that you made it to Jacob's banquet. You are one amazing woman! Right now Jacob was just proud and happy to have "mom" there but one day he'll completely understand the sacrifice and the pain you went through just because you love him. A true testiment of a mother's love. Yea God for allowing her to go. Lynn, the prayers continue to go up from so, so many! Praying for pain relief, that the worry and fear would subside, that the peace that passes all understanding would overcome you, that this ugly cancer would go away, for the kids and Dave, the family and the sweet friends that are right by your side every step of the way. We are all praying all of these things for you Lynn. When I grow up - I want to be just like you! :) Oh my heart so wants to give you a hug right now! Praying that chemo goes well today. Keep looking right, Lynn! You are going to beat this!!!!! Love ya Bunches! Pattie

I love this scripture....Psalm 31:3 "Since you are my ROCK and FORTRESS, for the sake of your name, lead and guide me"

I am so hopeful that you were able to attend the awards ceremony tonight.

Praying for you as you face another chemo treatment tomorrow.

Know that your name is being called out to the God of the
Universe every minute, by someone! What an awesome thought! Know that your name is very familiar to him.

You are so loved!

I read this prayer I would like to share with you.

My Lord God,
I do not see the road
ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain
where it will end......
I know that you will lead me
by the right road,
though I may know
nothing about it.
Therefore I trust you always.
I will not fear,
for you are with me,
and you will never leave me
to face my perils alone.

Love you friend, Jules

Dear Lord - Please relieve Lynn of this pain enough so she can muster enough energy to make it tonight to an important ceremony for her son. Good luck tomorrow. I will pray several times during your chemo that the treatment is working, both containing the cancer so it doesn't spread anymore and killing the cancer too.

We so enjoyed spending time with your precious kids yesterday! Be assured there were lots of belly laughs! I cannot wait until next summer when you are right there with us cured, restored and exhausted from shouting from the mountain top!!! You are in the valley my friend. I am so glad so many of us can join you along the way. I don't know about you but I am up for some mountain climbing! Put on your boots my friend, I have a feeling it is a long climb, but oh what a view it will be! God is preparing you to shout your story and praise as I can feel it in my heart you will be cured!!

I am praying for days of less pain, renewed spirit and breakthroughs in research! Sending peace and love to your and your family.

Dearest Lynn- You are in the hearts and prayers of our family daily. And, I am continually amazed by your spirit and faith.
Attending church this past Sunday, the sermon was "IT's NOT EASY to be a SUPERMAN" (we had a guest speaker-Chuck Donald, as our pastor is taking a few weeks off). In so much of what I heard, I thought of you - "It's not easy to be a SUPERWOMAN". You are certainly SUPER in your faith, your spirit, being a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend - just being YOU!(YOU are SUPER at everything I am aware of).
"Because of God's grace, our weaknesses can be transformed into superhero strengths when we trust God" .. HE will bring you THROUGH this!!
God bless you. Praying for your healing. Much love. Jill

Hey friend.

It sure was good watching the kids play on the lazy river today. Everyone had fun and we wore ourselves out. Hope your kids enjoyed nap time as much as the Crandell family did!! HA

Anyway, I loved Teresa's entry about the words from the song "Jesus Loves Me". That is one of my very favorite songs. Another childhood favorite is "This little light of mine". I sing it to Catherine all the time. YOU are always shining your light sweet friend and it shines so brightly...all around the neighborhood!!

I will pray for sweet rest and no pain tonight. Keep shining beautiful friend!

I love you So big,

Lord,
You invite all who are burdened to come to You.

Allow Your healing hand to heal me.

Touch my soul with Your compassion for others.

Touch my heart with Your courage and infinite love for all.

Touch my mind with Your wisdom, that my mouth may always proclaim Your praise.

Teach me to reach out to You in my need, and help me to lead others to You by my example.

Most loving God, bring me health in body and spirit that I may serve you with all my strength.

Touch gently this life which You have created, now and forever.

Amen

Dear God, Divine Physician and Healer of the Sick, we turn to You in this time of illness. O dearest Comforter of the Troubled, alleviate our worry and sorrow with Your gentle love, and grant us the grace and strength to accept this burden. Dear God, we place our worries in Your hands. We place our sick under Your care and humbly ask that You restore Your servant to health again. Above all, grant us the grace to acknowledge Your holy will and know that whatsoever You do, You do for the love of us. Amen

She is a "Survivor" of this ugly disease, as one day you will be also. I will think of you and send my love as will "Aunt Debbie" for your peace and comfort. This new treatment is a step in the journey you are on and will bring you to your destination. Still wishing on all the stars (there are so many here in the mountains). Your name is on all of them.

Hi Lynn, Well your journey continues to lead me! I was referred to a breast surgeon today for a lumpectomy, and when my doctor gave me a few surgeons' names, I almost jumped out of my chair when he said Dr. Hampe! I said "Oh he is Lynn's surgeon, I want to go to him!" I'm sure my doc thought I was talking about someone I actually KNEW, lol. I just feel reassured going to someone who has treated YOU! You are always close to my thoughts ... tonight I'm praying for no pain and a very peaceful slumber for you!

DEAREST DAUGHTER-IN-LOVE,"O TESTED SOUL,PERHAPS THE LORD IS SENDING YOU THROUGH THIS TRIAL TO DEVELOPE YOUR GIFTS. YOU HAVE SOME GIFTS THAT WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED IF NOT FOR THE TRIALS. DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT YOUR FAITH NEVER APPEARS AS GREAT IN THE WARM SUMMER WEATHER AS IT DOES DURING A COLD WINTER?YOUR LOVE IS OFTEN LIKE A FIREFLY, SHOWING VERY LITTLE LIGHT EXCEPT WHEN SURROUNDED BY DARKNESS, AND HOPE IS LIKE THE STARS-UNSEEN IN THE SUNSHINE OF PROSPERITY AND ONLY DISCOVERED DURING THE NIGHT OF ADVERSITY. AFFLICTIONS ARE OFTEN THE DARK SETTING GOD USES TO MOUNT THE JEWELS OF HIS CHILDRENS GIFTS, CAUSING THEM TO SHINE EVEN BRIGHTER." INSIGHT FROM CHARLES H. SPURGEON LYNN, HOW THIS REFLECTS ON YOU. YOU HAVE TOUCHED SO MANY SOULS---YOUR UNQUESTIONING FAITH --YOUR REMARKABLE COURAGE-- AND YOUR STEADFAST LOVE OF GOD--IS A GREAT LIGHT TO US ALL. HANG TOUGH, MY LOVE, WE'RE SO CLOSE TO THE CURE.

L ~ Although I know a lot about this painful journey you've been on, I will never pretend to know EVERY detail of how long & difficult the past 3 years has been for you. BUT you are just a short 3-4 months from YOUR vaccine being ready - DON'T LET GO NOW! Keep your focus on God & on being the loving mother, wife, daughter & friend that you so desire to be.

YOU ARE A TREMENDOUS FIGHTER - YOU CAN & WILL MAKE IT THROUGH THIS!!!

Lynn,

None of my words can heal pain nor give hope, BUT

HIS WORDS ARE LIFE. Rest in them.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Philippians 4:6

"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." -REVELATION 1:8

The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. -PSALM 18:2

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain. -HEBREWS 6:19

Show me your ways, 0 LORD, teach me your paths;
guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. -PSALM 25:4-5

I pray for that peace that we cannot explain to take root in your heart and in your home.

Love and prayers,
Teresa

I got a call from my "3 Day Walk coach" and told her about your journey. She was touched by your incredible strength and unyeilding faith. She is adding you to her prayer list on the west coast. You and your family are being uplifted from coast to coast. Keep running! You can beat this.

Dear Lynn,

Yes, COLLECTIVE prayers will go out for you at 8 PM tonight, but I'm starting earlier than that ...like RIGHT NOW! I am LOOKING RIGHT at your BRACELET which is alongside my two others..."Live Strong"...and "Rally for Ally"....the rainbow combination is a constant reminder that we all need one another, and that rainbow combination also reminds me of the courage that God places inside each of us!

I will pray for all of your requests and the love of friends and family to continue surrounding you. I will pray for the coming three months and the rapidity of the MIRACLE that I believe will come to you!!!

I will pray for your sweet children's faces...faces I hope to MEET someday in the not too distant future!

And, I will SELFISHLY pray that NEXT YEAR I will SEE YOUR SHINING FACE at the Outer Banks in North Carolina!!!

Love to all of you and wishes for continued STRENGTH....and I know you are a person who really knows how to "put on your big girl panties"....and PRESS ON!!

You are so brave and your faith continues to be contagious! Thank You for allowing so many outside of your immediate circle to share in your fight-we all have so much to learn from your beautiful heart. What a blessing to hear that the cure is right around the corner!!! I know the next few months of chemo will be tough-but you are sooo strong, and when you feel weak...know that we will lift you up in prayer!

I pray that our Lord's healing spirit will come down on you and flood away your pain. I pray for you and your family for the Lord to watch over you and know that through Him all things are possible. You are truly a testiment to faith and I feel you have brought many to the Lord through the outpouring of your entries and have revived their faith. I know you have brought healing and faith to others without you even knowing it. You are on the prayer list at my church and they are continually praying for you, as are my family and friends. That evil cancer will not triumph because our Lord will bring you through this. Keep your chin up girl; we are here for you!

Dear Lynn,

I will continue to hold you and your sweet family close in heart and prayer. Having just spent some time with Holly and her fam at the Outer Banks, I even feel closer to you as Holly shared some very special "friendship" stories...now, you are even more REAL to me. Continue to hold onto your faith, your love of God, and your amazing courage. I know you are "tired and weary" but you are also a model for everyone to follow. I will continue to pray for your relief of pain, and for all good things to be part of your future.

Hi Lynn,
I am praying your dr. appts. are working themselves out (by God's grace no doubt), and that all goes smoothly this week. You really don't need THAT to contend with too. Lots of prayers for a clear vision on all treatments, studies and of course, the vaccine. Many prayers too for PAIN RELIEF!! I know you need a break from all the pain. We all can only try to imagine what constant, enduring, awful pain must feel like. Here's to a GOOD week my friend. Love, Christine

Good morning my dear friend Lynn. I haven't had access to my computer since this past Friday afternoon so hence, haven't been able to post notes. Please know you were in my thoughts constantly and in my prayers all the time. I'm sorry to read the PET wasn't what we had all prayed for but like you said, HUGE PRAISE to God that the cancer has not spread to the liver, lungs, or bones. I will continue to pray for pain relief for you as a good day can make one's attitude so much better and give one so much more energy. I PRAY the pain is better!!! I will also pray that you get on the appointment books for Dr. N so the rest of the appointments fall into place. Lastly, I will pray that the good Lord gives you a clear path to take from here onward. You continue to inspire me, give me strength, and make me appreciate life so much more. I hope all the love and prayers from friends and family are giving you what you need during this difficult journey. I hope all of us together are giving you everything you need. I know you are physically surrounded by so many angels on earth but please know that you are also spiritually surrounded by so many of us that are thousands of miles away. Together, we are hoping to lift you up when you are down and rejoice with you when there is reason for praise. Lots of love from New Hope, MN. :) Heidi

Lynn, I do not know you but was lead to your site through reading Dana Eisenberg's website. I read your most current post and felt so heartbroken for you. It seems that there are so many irons in the fire, so to speak. I do know that the God I serve is the Great Physician. He is a healer and I am praying for you today. On the outside it would seem that these appt. schedules that are overbooked will never work out. I know my Lord can intervene and his timing is perfect. I am standing in faith for you and believing the Lord will intervene and work out these schedules so that you receive the exact right treatment at exactly the right time. May the Lord give you peace, wisdom on future treatments and ultimately healing here on earth. May HE bless your family as they walk this road with you. You are in my prayers. Know that you are loved even by strangers. Blessings to you as you go through this journey.

You wouldn't believe the flurry of activity over here with my kids joyfully getting their little chores done so they can be ready for Jacob and Taylor's playdate. I thought I was through with "are we there yet?" but the question has been replaced with "is it time yet?" HA HA
Praying for the pain to be gone.

Plano, TX - Monday, July 10, 2006 0:55 AM CDT

Dear Lynn, you are in my prayers this evening as I go to the Lord. I am saddened that your report from the doctor wasn't better, but God is the Great Physician and He doesn't care about what the reports say! He is in the healing business!!! I will be praying -as always- for your little ones, your parents, your in-loves, and especially for your husband. I will be asking God to hold their hurting hearts gently and encourage them. They are fighting this battle with you, Lynn. You are surrounded by so much love and support, and many thousands of people praying. I will also pray specifically for Dr. N's schedule to allow you to meet with him when needed. (It sounds like he needs to know to tell his scheduler to work you in, you really should call/page him!) Lynn, I've said it before in your guestbook and I will repeat it ... you are such an inspiration to me. Even in the face of more not-so-great news, you continue to share, inspire, and touch the hearts of others. God is using you and your journey in mighty ways. Your courage has always inspired me, but never more than tonight as I'm preparing (mentally!) for a breast biopsy of my own tomorrow. You are a great example, and I thank you for your willingness to share yourself with the world. I'm praying you will have a restful night with a wonderful deep slumber and NO PAIN, and wake refreshed with joy in your heart. God bless.

My sweet sweet friend,

I will simply be so much better after locking eyes on you tomorrow. Even if we have spoken multiple times each day, there is nothing like seeing your beautiful face and having an opportunity to hug your neck. I think we both could use a BIG hug!! The week away was great and the only thing I missed about real civilization was not being able to check your website. I caught up tonight and LOVED reading through the jillions of encouraging posts from so many people. You are so loved Lynn. You are so special and this stinkin' disease is so NOT defining YOU. YOU have already been defined...completely and wholly by our awesome God.

I am praying for pain relief, for sweet sleep, for answers, for doctor's openings, for smooth procedures, for compassionate nurses and doctors, for endurance, for blinders for the kids and for "all things" in regard to you, your family, parents and parents-in-love.

The Crandell Crew is thoroughly excited about having Jacob and Taylor for "laundry day" tomorrow. I have so much laundry to do...5 suitcases worth - egads! Anyway..we have lots of fun and a week's worth of visiting to catch up on.

Know that I am praying you feel well enough for our "special outing" later this week!!!

I love you SO BIG my sweet friend.

Walking by faith and praying with belief,

Holly

Checking on you often, praying for you daily!! Your prayer warriors will continue to pray for pain relief, disease resolution, expedition of the vaccine. Being in the system provides a different point of view- page Dr N share your concerns, fears and apprehension. Dr. N CAN and will work you into his schedule. The receptionist is not in a position to understand nor be able to make the decision concerning your appt. Call me if you need help!! Hold fast to your trust in God- turn to him for strength.

Thank you so much for your posting today, Lynn! Your neverending inner strength continues to amaze me! To be able to explain the latest developments in your disease and treatment in such detail to us and with so much hope even in the midst of so much despair and pain can only mean that God is with you and guiding you even more than we can possibly understand! He has a plan for you, and it can only be an awesome one!! Keep Looking RIGHT, Lynn. I pray for peace for you, David, Taylor and Jacob, and all your family. I pray that the DNA of your cancer has not changed and that your vaccine will still be effective against it. In the meantime, I continue to ask for complete healing and release from pain. I also ask that the new "drug" combo will defeat these tumors as the doctors indicate they should. I hope you have a peaceful Sunday, as pain-free as possible. In the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus I pray. Much love and blessings to you Lynn, Barbara

L-
It is clear to me now that you are having to go through every possible scenario of this cancer so that the book you write as a survivor, will be "all inclusive". And when they make your book into a movie, could you please cast me as some small part. Maybe a gardner or a pooper scooper. I don't even have to have any lines, if i could just be on the big screen, just once. And of course, you will have to play yourself. There is no one on earth that could do you justice in beauty, faith, wisdom or patience.
AS ALWAYS.....THINKING OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. Much love, Holly

I 've been checking on you each day during our vacation. My heart is breaking with your test results - but rejoycing that it hasn't spread to those vital spots. Know that we are all praying for you and your family - we have spread your story throughout New England as we've visited our family and friends during our travels this month and you have a whole new bunch of people praying for you!

We return home tomorrow - tell Taylor that Emily can't wait to have her come over to play! I just heard her telling my sister-in-law that she is going to have a swimming party combined with an American Girl tea party with her friends when she gets back - so I guess I better get busy and plan that!!!! :)

Lots of love and prayers!

I am so sorry that all you have been through with the chemo has not been working. I have faith that your doctors will do all they can to get this vaccine as fast as they can, Lynn.

Thank you SOOO much for posting and keeping us all up to date on the recent developments. It means so much to all of us to know how to pray for you!
I can only remind you of your own motto: KEEP LOOKING RIGHT! The times when it is the hardest is when we need to really rally and God does give us strength to get through. You are not a quitter and you are not going to give into evil fear! I know it's been a long road but you must stay strong.
God put it in your heart to ask for the PET scan and he is directing you so stay the course. You WILL get through this! Believe it.
I am constantly praying for your pain relief my sweet sweet friend. You certainly are being put to the test in this earthly world and I know you are going to be rewarded for it! You are such an amazing Christian and I'm so happy that I've been blessed with your friendship.

Stay strong. Keep looking right! Keep posting!!
I'm sending you all my love and strength.

God's peace be with you,
Patricia

Just read the latest post and my heart is hurting and so very heavy for you. I pray that the Lord continues to whisper His wisdom and direction into your heart and that you would continue to be receptive to whatever treatment might lie ahead. As said before, I would do anything to take this away from you. I am helping to carry this cross with you, my sweet friend, as it is one that you mustn't bear alone. What a privledge to be able to come along side you in prayer and cry out on your behalf. You are so precious in HIS sight and so dear to so many of us. I am asking that the Lord flood out the darkness and the uncertainty with His light and peace. I will be praying that all the crooked paths straighten out and that you will get a glimpse of His radient light at the end of the tunnel. There is a glorious reward waiting for you and many blessing along the path!!!! A reward that will take your breath away!!!! Until then, press on with the hope of a future with no more cancer!!!!

My heart hurts for you as you have received this mixed news. Praise God there was some good news! I cannot imagine the heaviness of your heart. I so pray that God will lift you up and pull you into his lap and comfort you as only a Father can. I pray he will place healing hands on your pain and cancer and make this all better. He can and I pray he WILL.

The past three nights I awoke wide awake at 4:00am and wasn't able to fall asleep for 45 minutes. I have just blanketed you and your family in prayer during those times. There are so many crying out on your behalf.

Please let me know if there is anything that I can do for you. I am going to call you tomorrow to work out a day next week to have the kids come over and swim.

Be strong friend and be encouraged by the fact that there was some good news yesterday. Please don't give up! Be strong and continue to fight this horrible cancer. I am so praying that we have great news next week about a new study that will heal your body. Keep looking RIGHT!

Lifting you up in prayer! Love you and your family so much!

Lynn,

Thanks so much for giving specific prayer requests that we can take to our Father.

I have checked your site at least 20 times since getting up this morning, hoping to hear your report.
Fear is enemy I am well acquainted with, although my fears seem so silly, with whatyou are facing.

Yesterday, I heard Beth Moore teaching on Life Today,
on how much God thinks about each one of us everyday.

She digs so deep into the real meaning of words. I am going to try and get the tape to send to you. I just kept rerunning it on the TiVO.
Could she possibly mean me?

It was from a totally different perspective than I had ever thought of ...but bottom line (and who can explain things like Beth?)
YOU are on his mind! EVERY second of every day. He knows and cares about every detail of your life and I have to think that you are one of his favorites...Hang on to HOPE.

Much love,
Teresa

You are the sunshine to so many Lynn! Praying so hard for you. Keep Looking Right, Lynn! I know you can do it. I really do! Love, Pattie

Our Dearest Lynn, Know how much you're loved. We all send you our biggest hugs and all the strength we can send. look at the amount of people who have checked in on your site and take that number and multiply that times 1 hug(at least!)=293,284. Now take that times 10 hugs(which isn't even close to what we want to send to you)2,932,840!!
We all send up our heartfelt prayers for our loving God Almighty to give you some relief from the pain you are feeling. I have to say it. that's 2,932,840 Prayers!!!
On a slow day, but we know that each of us think and pray for you all during the day. So...x10=29,328,400.WOW,that's huge. Sweet Lynn my hope is that all this crazy number talk shows you the number of people who are out there to support you and love you and try help you carry your burden. Those who are closer can help you with the physical needs and cares. Thank God for all of you. Remember the rest of us are your prayer warriors and will pray unceasingly for blessed relief.
Matthew 11-28 "Come to me all of you who are weary from and carry heavy burdens and I will give you rest."
Hold on to Jesus' promise,he will carry your burdens. Give it all up to him and wait, for he has a plan for you. A plan that we cannot comprehend, but our faith and trust in him will surpass all. Father God we send up our dearest Lynn's pain for you to carry for it truly is too heavy for her to bear. Please bless her and keep her close to you through this very long and trying fight. Give her the strength she needs to continue fighting and please show us the words she needs to keep her and help her to get through this. In Jesus name,Amen

Dearest Lynn,
You are on my mind so many times every day. I find myself coming to God in prayer for you and your family often throughout the days. I know He's listening to every petition, and that He loves and cares for you more than you know. I love the way He has gifted you with so many loving friends. My eyes fill up when I read the things people have posted...how big their hearts are. And your earthly Dad...what a loving and beautiful man he is! My prayer for you is that your thoughts are filled with how precious love is. I truly believe it is the most special gift we receive from God, as He revealed His deep love for us through His Son. So much truth in these words..."And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." (1 Corinth 13:13) I love you always...

As we walk our path of life,
we meet people every day.
Most are simply met by chance,
but some are sent our way.
These become the special friends
whose bond we can't explain-
the ones who understand us
and share our joys and pain.
Their love contains no boundaries,
so even when apart,
their presence still embraces us
with a warmth felt in the heart.
This love becomes a passageway
where even miles disappear.
And so these friends life sends our way
remain forever near.

All of you have been there for Lynn and her family every time she needs you the most. That is what family is all about...being there for each other no matter the circumstance and loving each other through good and bad times. I am so thankful that Lynn can lean on all of you and know that those sweet grandkids of yours are being well loved and cared for while she fights to get well. Whether you are taking the kids to swim practice or picking them up from a class or a friend's house..you do it because of your love for your wonderful daughter. Thank you for your wonderful example of love...Anna

Hello, sweet friend. Lately I have begun and ended each day with thoughts and prayers for you and your healing - from cancer and from pain...so you can be the wife, mother, daughter, friend, neighbor you so desire to be...I read the entries of those who "know" you (personally or through your beautiful journaling) and love you...so many prayer warriors "storming heaven's throne room" for you...I am reminded of the time Christ healed the paralytic man who was lowered through the roof of the crowded house by his four friends....lowered to the feet of Jesus. In the three gospels (Matthew, Mark & Luke) I see the words, "When Jesus saw their faith..." - He healed the man...and all marveled. The power of friends praying...the faithful turning to the only one who they know has the power of the universe in His hands. He holds your tears in His hands...one day He will wipe every tear from our eyes (Rev. 21:3-4) And take away all the pain we have suffered on this earth (Rev. 21:3-4). I pray you are blessed beyond explaination and measure this week....somehow, someway....it is NOT BEYOND HIM. Nothing is beyond Him.

I pray that you will rest in the arms of Jesus and that he will miraclously take ALL of the pain away. Just give it all to him, Lynn. This evil cancer has proved to be bigger than we are but God can conquer it and I fully believe he will. I just pray for strength for you. Strength for you to continue to fight. I know somewhere you still have it in you and I just pray that God quickly gives it back to you. Don't give up Lynn. We can't understand the pain you're in but we know we love you, admire you and that we all want to see you be victorious in this battle! Hang tough sweet Lynn. Love, Pattie

Maybe no news from you today is good news? That is our hope...Praying with out ceasing, for you Lynn, and your precious family.

I urge you to storm this site with prayers and words of encouragement for Lynn. If you have never written,now is the time,, and for all who have, please bless her again with your loving words...Lynn we love you and are trusting in our awesome God....Lynn, keep fighting for yourself,David,Taylor,Jacob and all of us who love you."Turn your eyes upon Jesus,look full in his wonderful face,and the things of the earth will grow stangely dim in the light of his glory and grace."

Dearest Lynn...Thank you so much for letting us have your sweet kiddoes for the day. Camden and Grant were so thrilled to get to hang out with Jacob and of course Madeline and Taylor got their fill of "American Girl" time! Tell Jacob that the next time he comes over, he will need to win a teddy bear for me! I was so glad that I got to lock eyes on you this afternoon. It felt so good to be able to help you out with the kids today Lynn. They are both so well behaved and are such a joy to be around. I forgot to tell you that when we were eating lunch at the grill today, Jacob informed me that he wasn't allowed to have coke when the waitress came to take his order. When the boys asked him if the reason he couldn't have it was because it was bad for you, he said, "No, it's because my dad works for PEPSI!"So, Dave need not worry about where his son's allegiance lies! We will be praying that all goes well tomorrow and that this chemo is doing its job. "Do not lose the courage you had in the past, which has a great reward." Hebrews 10:35 Hugs to you my friend...Anna

Many prayers from New Hope, MN my sweet friend Lynn. Thinking of you all the time and praying for you every chance I get. I hope you are feeling better. Whatever results the PET scan show, we are in this together. In hopes to make you smile I will tell a quick story. I was at the hair salon yesterday. I asked my stylist to color my hair a little lighter than my roots. Well, I left with a thick head of BLACK hair. I kept asking her, "Isn't it really dark?" She said it was good. Well, Armond saw me first and nearly fainted. People double take me now. It's funny to get expressions from those who know me. Some are polite (like last night at t-ball) and some are cracking jokes. Any ways, I have washed my hair at least four times since yesterday afternoon in hopes it will get lighter. Mary says it's "Light black now mom" but Emma claims "Your hair is so black it looks purple." Hope my hair delimma made you smile.

Dear Lynn, you are so awesome. Even during these times of pain -- your strength still shines through. Keep the faith, my friend, as you are such an inspiration through your perseverance and your patience. I have been praying for you, David, the kids, and your parents. A friend of mine who survived breast cancer used to say during the hard times, "This too, shall pass." I pray that this pain will pass soon and you will have the clear direction you need for the next step. You can do this Lynn... God has already equipped you with what you need. One day at a time. I am praying for your total healing and relief of pain. May you feel God's love and comfort during these next few days as we all keep praying for you. Love you, Paige.

We are all praying for you to be spared more pain and to have your body return to its normal state....That is being healthy and cancer free.... This is something new I read on the Chilel book that says not to fight cancer as it will be stronger if threatened so now we will put your body in charge to become your normal, healthy self once again. I figure it is worth a try....Diana

Hold Fast ~ by Mercy Me

To everyone who�s hurting
To those who�ve had enough
To all the undeserving
That should cover all of us
Please do not let go
I promise there is hope

Hold fast
Help is on the way
Hold fast
He�s come to save the day
What I�ve learned in my life
One thing greater than my strife
Is His grasp
So hold fast

Will this season ever end
Can we stop this ride
Will we see the sun at last
Or could this be our lot in life
Please do not let go
I promise you there�s hope

Hold fast
Help is on the way
Hold fast
He�s come to save the day
What I�ve learned in my life
One thing greater than my strife
Is Your grasp
So hold fast

You may think you�re all alone
And there�s no way that anyone could know
What you�re going through
But if you only hear one thing
Just understand that we are all the same
Searching for the truth
The truth of what we�re soon to face
Unless someone comes to take our place
Is there anyone
All we want is to be free
Free from our captivity Lord
Here He comes

Hold fast
Help is on the way
Hold fast
He�s come to save the day
What I�ve learned in my life
One thing greater than my strife
Is Your grasp
So hold fast

Dear Lynn,
I awake every morning to go immediately to this site to see if you post. How frustrating it must have been for you after all of the pain you went through over the last few days and then trying to post for all of us out here, to then lose it!! I know that it is difficult for you to even post at all, so I am so very sorry that you had to deal with computer frustrations on top of everything else. I imagine that you do feel like you can't take it anymore, but I know that you can, you are a fighter and you will win. I have continued to pray for you and your loved ones as well as all of your supporters. I hope that your pain lessens, that your PET scan gives you some clarity and allows you to make the decision without hesitation or worry. I am so sorry that you hurt so bad. I, as I am sure many others do, would love to take your pain so you could enjoy a day with your kids and husband w/out the pain and the ugliness of this disease hanging over you. You will soon have relief and one day soon, this will be a distant memory. Keep fighting, stay strong in your own mind and remember everyone out here who cares for you, prays for you and has hope for your healing. Keep your chin up Lynn, you have done so much and brought so much courage and wisdom to so many of us out here. I hope that brings you some comfort knowing that you are so loved and so many of us are willing you to a better state physically and mentally. Our prayers are powerful and in His time, you WILL get better. Thinking of you and praying for you EVERYDAY.......

Dearest Lynn...It saddens me to know that this chemo has brought you pain and tears. I cannot even begin to know all of the emotions you must deal with day after day. I do know however that you are a FIGHTER with an incredible amount of faith and trust in our savior. You have so many people that want to fight this battle with you my sweet friend...that is clearly evident in watching the video clip. As Greg went through his cancer last summer, there were days that he got depressed and felt as if he could not fight. But then, God would put someone or something in his path to pick him back up and give him the strength to fight. I know in my heart that there have been many people that God has placed in your path just at the right moment to pick you up and lift your spirits. When we fall, He is there to pick us up and carry us through the difficult times. I know that God will do just that for you. I am praying for God to give my sweet friend Lynn a burst of energy today and that those sweet kids of yours will bring lots of smiles your way today. I love you my friend......Anna

I can't imagine how you're feeling and I can only hope and pray that you will find the strength within to continue this fight. It's natural to feel like you just can't do it any more, but you will find that inner strength to do it. You are one of the most amazing people I know and you have come so far with this battle. I just know that there is greater hope for you just around the corner and it will come. Hang in there and embrace the people that surround you to and pull the energy from them. You have so many people to help and comfort you, I wish I could be there to give some of that to you as well. Please know that I'm sending my strength and prayers your way. Whatever you do don't beat yourself up for having bad days, for those in the end will only make you stronger.

Lynne- Over and over again, the messages spoken at church yesterday were all about you..... The gospel lesson told of the woman who had been sick for so many years and when she was able to touch the hem of Christ's clothing she was healed. He reminded her that, in essence, it was her faith in God that had healed her, not that she touched his clothing. And in his message Pastor Lynn reminded everyone that we may not always get the answers we want to every request that we ask of God, but maybe that is because He is waiting to provide the answer to a bigger question. His point was that maybe we have to go through the trials we are facing right now because there is something greater in store for us. I have the faith that for you that means this chemo is just a trial to endure because the vaccine is coming and is the bigger answer you will be blessed with....that is the faith I will keep for you.........Give my love to David and hugs to the kids. I hope you are able to enjoy a pain free 4th of July with the family. Faith and Love Always, Kerry

I'm not sure if Taylor is a fan of the American Girl collection but if so, I would HIGHLY recommend renting the "Felicity" movie and watching it together for a couple of reasons. One, great girl bonding movie (and Jacob might even like it too). Two, it takes place in 1775 right before our independence so the timing with the 4th of July is perfect. Armond, Mary, and I watched it twice the past couple of days. It is so good, so cute, and a easy history lesson for the kids. Armond now wants the Felicity doll too. :) Also, I received a call last night asking if Emma could talk to my friend's daugther as she has been having problems with mean little girl friends like Emma had had last year. I told her that I will need to get her a LOOKING RIGHT bracelet as that is what taught Emma how to handle rough times at school. I'll call you sometime this week if I can't find an extra one around the house. You just keep on touching people my sweet friend. I know the Lord has many more jobs for you and many more years for you to do them. Keeping the faith from New Hope, MN. :)

Hope this 4th of July weekend is the start of your own Independence!

Independence from cancer and pain and worry!

Embrace that wonderful faith-filled belief that your vaccine will be ready soon and everything will turn around and head in the direction of a complete cure!

Let the fireworks we all watch tomorrow remind us of prayers and praise rising to God in your behalf.

God bless you.

Hi Lynn, It was so nice to log in to your home page and scroll down to see your recent entry. Hated to learn of your terrible week(s). But so glad to hear of your "ladies lunch".
Close friends are amazing, they can save us from ourselves sometimes. That is our responsibility to each other.
Like so many others, you are on my mind all the time.
Sending you much love and laughter. Hang in there.

Thinking a lot about you today...I hope that you are getting some rest, receiving lots of love, and filling your mind with warm thoughts. You are awesome, so very strong and courageous, my dear friend. Your strength never ceases to amaze me. I am so proud of the beautiful jewel that our sweet heavenly Father has crafted in you. What a radiantly shining princess you are in His eyes...and a radiant shining beacon of light for those of us on earth looking for His glory. I see an abundance of HIM in YOU!!!! Loving you from Plano.

I purposely logged on to read your entry again as I so needed to hear your words and message. You are my hero. Thank you for giving yourself to us as so many of us are learning from you and realizing what life is really about Lynn. We are all running alongside of you and obviously God knows when and how to lift you up when you fall down or just keep the hugs coming when needed. Like Jill says FIGHT SISTER FIGHT. We are fighting with you, praying for you, keeping the faith, and just loving you from afar or right next door. I hope today you can feel well enough to enjoy some laughter with Dave, Taylor, Jacob, and any other loved one with you. Love, Heidi

Sweet Lynn,
You are so right about God being in control of every single detail. Today is so very special, as is every day. My prayer is that He will continue to comfort you with those truths, and that He continues to bring your good buddies around you every single time you are in need. Your journey is such a challenge, and yet, you, by your faith are strong and so grounded. I'm praying today for relief of your pain and for joy in every moment. I love you!

Lynn - I was packing up for our trip this weekend to Colorado Springs and was stressing about everything I haven't done before we leave and getting snappy with the girls. You've been on my mind a lot lately and I thought I would check your website to see how you were doing as I was checking the weather on-line. Your most recent posting really helped me put things in perspective on not sweating the small stuff and really enjoying everyday we have to the fullest. Your message really touched me and your words gave me a quick reality check to slow down and enjoy the simple things that we are blessed with everyday. Please know you are loved by so many friends and we are always keeping you in our thoughts & prayers. I was so happy to hear our dear Jenny was able to bring that spark back into you. Through your fight with the cancer, you have given to us so much more than you realize. I wish I could take your pain away. Stay strong my friend and keep your hope alive. You have inspired your friends in such a powerful way with your will to fight and keep the faith alive.
Love,
Minal

Hi Lynn, Your faith will truly get you through all your pain and suffering. I will surely pray for you and your family. I just found out that my younger sister, Florence has Merkal Carsonoma (sp?) and she is very nervous not knowing what's going to happen to her at this point. A few words from you would really help her understand what she will be going through. Thank you and May God grant you healing. Sincerely, Frances

Praying that you will have a peaceful weekend and that are experiencing minimal side effects of this week's chemo treatment. Praise God for good friends and family who love you so much! I pray that you will continue to let them pamper you and carry you on this difficult journey, Lynn. They will be blessed for it as much as you will be. Always remember, God never intended us to carry our burdens alone. So glad you have such an awesome support system! And I saw from your guestbook entries that your folks will be there soon ... there's just nothing like a mama and daddy's love when we're down! I will be praying for their safe travels and praising God that they will soon be by your side. God bless your entire family!

You are human, and it is only natural to feel down. You simply amaze me that you don't feel that way more often. I hope your treatment went well, your pain is minimal and your spririts are flying!!! Thank you for your words, your wisdom and your COURAGE. So many of us draw off of your courage.

Dearest Lynn...I am so sorry that you have had such yuck days. Thank you for posting. You are such a trooper to post even when you just aren't feeling up to it. I so enjoyed getting to hang out with Jacob, Camden, Grant, Jack Jay and Lili last week at Fine Arts Camp. They all made my job so easy. Jacob said lots of prayers for you as did many of the other kids. Those sweet little words that came out of their mouths were so touching for me to hear. I am sure that God was smiling down on those little guys. We continue our prayers for you my sweet friend. I pray you are having sweet dreams and that you get your spunk back really soon! Hugs to you....Anna

I'm sorry to hear of your struggles but feel so priveleged that you have the courage to be honest and open with everyone. Life Sucks sometimes and its OK to feel depressed for a moment, then as you know we need to remember to get back to the important stuff.....Life, and what we can do today to make it better for ourselves and our families. You are an amazing spirit in the lives of your friends and families, they appeared when you needed them most because they feel you and your pain. Its seams so simple to just send you my thoughts and wishes for better days, please know that if I can do anything to take even a little burden from you I would be honored. You are in my thoughts and in my heart. Peace with you and your treatment today.

I've posted before, but you don't know me. I needed to read your words today. And I also needed to see Patty's "list of rules". Thank you for your inspiration. It's been almost 3 1/2 years since I was told I had leukemia. My hair has grown back, my life is back to normal with my kids and husband. You'd never know I had been sick, and yet there are some days I let the little things get me down. I forget how good I have it. Thank you for reminding me.

Much love, Pattie.

Ten Guidelines From God
>
>
> Effective immediately,
> please be aware that there are changes YOU need
> to make in YOUR life. These changes need to be
> completed in order that I may fulfill My promises
> to you to grant you peace, joy and happiness in
> this life. I apologize for any inconvenience,
> but after all that I am doing, this seems very
> little to ask of you. Please, follow
> these 10 guidelines:
>
> 1. QUIT WORRYING:
> Life has dealt you a blow and all you do is sit
> and worry. Have you forgotten that I am here
> to take all your burdens and carry them for you?
> Or do you just enjoy fretting over every little
> thing that comes your way?
>
> 2. PUT IT ON THE LIST:
> Something needs done or taken care of. Put it
> on the list. No, not YOUR list. Put it on MY
> to-do-list. Let ME be the one to take care
> of the problem. I can't help you until you turn
> it over to Me. And although My to-do-list
> is long, I am after all... God. I can take care
> of anything you put into My hands. In fact,
> if the truth were ever really known, I take
> care of a lot of things for you that you never
> even realize.
>
> 3. TRUST ME:
> Once you've given your burdens to Me,
> quit trying to take them back. Trust in
> Me. Have the faith that I will take care of
> all your needs, your problems and your trials.
> Problems with the kids? Put them on My list.
> Problem with finances? Put it on My list.
> Problems with your emotional roller coaster?
>For My sake, put it on My list. I want to
> help you. All you have to do is ask.
>
> 4. LEAVE IT ALONE:
> Don't wake up one morning and say,
> "Well, I'm feeling much stronger now, I think
> I can handle it from here." Why do you think
> you are feeling stronger now? It's simple.
> You gave Me your burdens and I'm taking
> care of them. I also renew your strength
> and cover you in my peace. Don't you
> know that if I give you these problems back,
> you will be right back where you started?
> Leave them with Me and forget about
> them. Just let Me do my job.
>
> 5. TALK TO ME:
> I want you to forget a lot of things.
> Forget what was making you crazy.
> Forget the worry and the fretting because
> you know I'm in control. But there's one
> thing I pray you never forget. Please, don't
> forget to talk to Me - OFTEN! I love YOU!
> I want to hear your voice. I want you to
> include Me in on the things going on in your life.
> I want to hear you talk about your friends
> and family. Prayer is simply you having
> a conversation with Me. I want to be your
> dearest friend.
>
> 6. HAVE FAITH:
> I see a lot of things from up here that you
> can't see from where you are. Have faith in
> Me that I know what I'm doing. Trust Me;
> you wouldn't want the view from My eyes.
> I will continue to care for you, watch over you,
> and meet your needs. You only have to trust Me.
> Although I have a much bigger task than you,
> it seems as if you have so much trouble just
> doing your simple part. How hard can trust be?
>
> 7. SHARE:
> You were taught to share when you were
> only two years old. When did you forget?
> That rule still applies. Share with those who are
> less fortunate than you. Share your joy with
> those who need encouragement. Share your
> laughter with those who haven't heard any in
> such a long time. Share your tears with those
> who have forgotten how to cry. Share your faith
> with those who have none.
>
> 8. BE PATIENT:
> I managed to fix it so in just one lifetime
> you could have so many diverse experiences.
> You grow from a child to an adult, have children,
>change jobs many times, learn many trades,
> travel to so many places, meet thousands
> of people, and experience so much. How can
> you be so impatient then when it takes Me
> a little longer than you expect to handle
> something on My to-do-list? Trust in My
> timing, for My timing is perfect. Just
> because I created the entire universe in
> only six days, everyone thinks I should
> always rush, rush, rush.
>
> 9. BE KIND:
> Be kind to others, for I love them just
> as much as I love you. They may not dress
> like you, or talk like you, or live the same way
> you do, but I still love you all. Please try
> to get along, for My sake. I created each
> of you different in some way. It would be
> too boring if you were all identical.
> Please, know I love each of your differences.
>
> 10. LOVE YOURSELF:
> As much as I love you, how can you not
> love yourself? You were created by me for
> one reason only -- to be loved, and to love
> in return. I am a God of Love. Love Me.
> Love your neighbors. But also love yourself.
> It makes My heart ache when I see you
> so angry with yourself when things go
> wrong. You are very precious to me.
> Don't ever forget......
>
Let us all remember to fully rely on God!

So good to hear from you! I am sorry that last week was so rough. If your kids ever need a "change of scenery," they are more than welcome to come over here. Gunnar and Jacob could do the boy thing and Taylor and Murphy could do the girly stuff. They can swim and play all day. I will call you after the fourth and see if that works.
Good luck today.
Much love,

Dear Lynn...
I always love reading your words much like many of your close friends who write on your website. I think of the song..."Lean on Me"...I know you are a strong person who likes to "do things for yourself" but just remember God has put these wonderful friends in YOUR life for a REASON, so continue to "lean on them" when you need to. I am so excited to know that in just three days I will see HOLLY and the entire McKay/Crandall family at the OUTER BANKS! I wish you were going to be there with us, but I know that day will come that I, too, can meet you in person and put my arms around your beautiful neck!!! In the meantime, do try to love the little things about each day and bask in the joy that your beautiful family brings to you!!! I will continue to pray for your LACK of pain, and that the miracle vaccine will be forthcoming!!!! With love and special blessings to you and yours,

Terri aka Teetay :)

So good to hear from you Lynn. Your words always seem to hit me strong as you are so honest and open which is truly so refreshing for me. I'm sorry you had a hard week or so. I'm grateful for the friends that are there to lift you up when you are down. I loved your message. Your wisdom continues to grow and I'm grateful to be learning from you. Immediately I thought of one of my favorite songs "One Day at a Time Sweet Jesus" as those words reflect what you said in your recent posting. I mailed you the cd a long time ago. If you have time and want to listen to the song and words, it is #11 on Pastor Dave's CD. Much love, hope, prayers, and thoughts from your friend far away in distance but really close at heart. :) Heidi

Hi Lynne, I hope you are having and enjoying pain-free days! You're right: your cancer does not define you; it seems it's getting in the way of you being all you can and want to be, though, and needs to be GONE! I saw a cardinal on my way to work and another on my way home today which, of course, led me to pray for you -- had to let you know! Much love to all of you, Barbara

Ocean View, HI - Wednesday, June 28, 2006 1:08 AM CDT

LOVED SEEING YOU TODAY! Thank you for letting me be a part of your OT session. It was great to get to be with you and to watch a truly skilled therapist "do her stuff". It was amazing to see the difference in you painwise before and after treatment. Even though you said you were "fine" and were having a "good" day prior to the session...your eyes and posture gave you away. But afterward,...wow. I hope the rest of the day was wonderful. I am thinking of you tonite and praying for God to heal you miraculously...so you can be the wife and mother you so desire to be. I pray He will give you the desires of your heart...that they are in accordance to His will. I pray the chemo will dissolve the wretched, wicked, useless cells that have no business being in your body. I really liked what you said today about not letting this cancer "define" you. I do not think it does...I think it's blackness makes the brilliance that God has knit you with SHINE EVEN MORE BRILLIANTLY...with and without tears. I'll be seeing you soon!

Hi Lynn

I just got back to my parent's house after a few days in Maine at the coast. I made sure I called my husband each night so he could check your site for me - I'm addicted - I can't go a day without checking:) Anyway - I was out for a walk yesterday before the rains came and I was walking along this pretty street that overlooks the ocean and there was this wooden fence - and what do you think was sitting on the fence looking out into the ocean.... Yup! A beautiful red cardinal! I immediatly thought of you and was just struck by the beauty of the whole scene.

Thinking of you as always and praying that you are having a pain free comfortable week!

Lynn, Your sister Terri shared the online video of the race with me the other day. (I couldn't open it on my computer.) What a blessing for you and your family that so many participated, and what a blessing for the participants to have this opportunity to honor you! I haven't posted for awhile, but your TOTAL RELEASE FROM PAIN AND TOTAL CURE OF THIS CANCER ARE ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS in my prayers!! Heavenly Father, I beseech you to remove any pain that precious Lynn is feeling and to rid her body forever of these tumors that plague her! In the name of your precious son, Jesus Christ, I pray! I saw a cardinal today at a birthday party for a sweet 9-year-old boy here in Kona! That was a blessing, too! Much love to you and yours, Barbara

Sweet Lynn,
I am praying so much that your pain is being managed and that your port is a blessing. I think of you and your family so very often. As I shared before...the cardinal's song has always brought my mom back to me...now, when I hear him sing...I also think of you! I am praying also for Taylor and Jacob's summer...that it is wonderful. I was up at church one day, and saw so many of our Hicks kids there at Fine Arts Camp! Life is good...you are so very special in your journey, Lynn.
I love you,
Nurse Lisa (How's that for fun?!!!)

Hi Lynn,
You don't know me (although I feel I know you), I am a friend of Suzanne's. I read your journal entries and pray for you always. I received a graduation announcement in the mail that had the following scripture that gave me goose bumps thinking of you and wanted to share it...

-Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, 'This is the way; walk in it'. Isaiah 30:21

Looking right-Jenny

PS- One day, when some crazy lady walks over and randomly hugs you, that'll be me SO honored to meet your face, not just your heart.

I love it when I read your friend's entries about "storming heaven" for you as that is exactly what so many of us are doing. You are so much a part of our lives here in New Hope, MN at the Isaak household. You are our example of how to live life, during the good days and bad days, always keeping our Lord above everything else. God has too much work for you to do Lynn and He needs you around for many more decades to keep on spreading your faith and by doing that, bringing others to the Lord's table. Hang in there Lynn. You can do this. You are running the race of your life and every day, every hour, others are joining you and running/walking beside you. As always, you are in my prayers and thoughts. Love, Heidi

Sometimes laughter is the best medicine................
Alright ladies, it's that time of year "oncest" again!!! I think we need to be reminded of a few things. So my sisters, PLEASE, raise your big toes and repeat after me below....

The Open Toed Shoe Pledge
As a member of the Cute Girl Sisterhood, I pledge to follow the Rules
when wear sandals and other open-toe shoes:

I promise to always wear sandals that fit. My toes will not hang over
and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs. And the sides
and tops of my feet will not pudge out between the straps.

I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and chip-free.
I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe.

I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow.

I will shave the hairs off my big toe.

I won't wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, coworker,
mother, sister tells me the toe seam really will stay under my toes if I tuck it there.

If a strap breaks, I won't duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it back into
place hoping it will stay put. I will get my shoe fixed or toss it.

I will not live in corn denial; rather I will lean on my good friend Dr.
Scholl's if my feet need him.

I will resist the urge to buy jelly shoes at Payless for the low, low
price of $4.99 even if my feet are small enough to fit into the kids' sizes. This
is out of concern for my safety, and the safety of others. No one can walk
properly when standing in a pool of sweat and I would hate to take someone down
with me as I fall and break my ankle.

I will take my toe ring off toward the end of the day if my toes swell
and begin to look like Vienna sausages.

I will be brutally honest with my girlfriend/sister/coworker when she
asks me if her feet are too ugly to wear sandals. Someone has to tell her that
her toes are as long as my fingers and no sandal makes creepy feet look good.

I will promise if I wear flip flops that I will ensure that they actually flip
and flop, making the correct noise while walking and I will swear NOT
to slide or drag my feet while wearing them.

I will promise to go my local nail salon at least once per season and
have a real pedicure (they are about $35 and worth EVERY penny).

I will promise to throw away any white/off-white sandals that show signs
of wear... nothing is tackier than dirty white sandals.

Don't keep this to yourself - pass it on to other sisters.

You don't know me... but I am a very old friend of Jill Roiger's. (Another survivor.) I check in on you daily. I am praying for you and your beautiful family. I hope the port makes this process easier for you. I told my friend Jill to not think of chemo as poison but as "POTION". With the right mix, it will get you back on track. I'm sending you positive thoughts from Colorado.
All my best and God Bless,

Good Morning!

I hope that new port is a blessing and makes everything easier for you, and that your chemo was SO SUCCESSFUL!!!

Move mountain, MOVE!!!

Thank you for posting for all of your PRAYER WARRIORS that are "WORRIERS"!

Saw this scripture and thought of you....

I cried out to the LORD, and he answered me from His holy mountain. I lay down and slept. I woke up in safety, for the LORD was watching over me. I am not afraid of ten thousand enemies who surround me on every side. "
Psalm 3:4-6

Have an incredible pain-free spirit-filled day!

God bless you!

Lynn, So thankful the pain has decreased. Praying all has gone well with the port and the chemo goes just as smoothly. Praying everything is "on-track and doing-it's-job". So thankful for these updates, I think of you so often during the day...and evidently at night, too! Prayed for you the other day when I was donning on my running shoes. Have a good day...I hope Taylor is better! God bless.

Oh my friend, it was SO, SO, SO good to lock eyes on you this afternoon. You know I love you but I'm beginning to think your a bit of a freak of nature - HA!!..........NOBODY ever looks that good after surgery. And I remember you've looked just as beautiful after other surgeries as well. Hmmmm, must be the answered prayers!! Your strength always amazes me. It's great to see your "spunk" is back!

Know that my heart will be with you during chemo tomorrow. I pray your handy-dandy port will work beautifully and that the chemo will reach & destroy each & every cancer cell in your body. Sleep tight......I'll see you in the morning.

I love you to pieces ~ Jen

I'm continually amazed at your incredible spirit, courage, and faith. To be in such pain and yet still get on the site and post an update, well that's such a witness. (Me, well I would probably be whining and waking everyone up to share in my misery ...!) Lynn, I am praying so hard for you to get past this pain, regain your strength, and be healed from cancer for good. I know God hears the prayers of His people and He will answer them!

I hope you have a better day today and can enjoy those precious kids. Have a blessed weekend. (But stay inside and away from this crazy North Texas heat, lol!!!)

Lynn,

It seems that every day I am telling someone about you and your fight. I draw such inspiration from your strength and courage, yet my heart breaks for you when I hear of your pain. I am praying for you--my little family is praying for you--and we lift you up to our God Almighty. His hand will always hold yours as you continue this journey. He will never leave you. He will hold you tightly as you cling to Him for continued strength.

Do you feel how much you are loved? Our Creator looks at you--looks at all of us--fondly because we are His pride and joy. I can only imagine how proud He is when His face looks upon you. You are a loyal, faithful servant and He will bless you abundantly.

Praying for you to have sweet rest.
Praying for no pain.
Praying that you are protected from all fears.
Praying for your sweet children and husband.
Praying for complete healing.
And I am praying that you experience laughter & smiles tomorrow.

Keep Looking Right and Fight, Sister, Fight!

In His precious love,
Amy Jordan

Dear Lynn,
I am a friend of Terri Matus's here in Virginia. A few months ago your friend Holly sent out a call for prayer for you which Terri forwarded to me and others. Since then, I have checked in and read this website frequently, but I never wrote to you. However, I have been praying for you often, and Terri and I talk about you all the time. It must be a little strange to read this, not knowing me at all, yet I feel that it's important to let you know that even someone you don't know, who lives far away, cares so much and has you in her thoughts. Your family, friends, and you especially, are inspiring in your deep love for each other and God. I read and cry, both in anguish for your pain, and in profound amazement at the love that is expressed for you. I can only add my prayers to the many that are said for you each day in the hope that your pain can be dissipated and leave you entirely, and the cancer, too. I hope that you, your husband, and beautiful children will endure this and be well.
Theresa Cover <tesscover@aol.com>
Fairfax, VA - Thursday, June 8, 2006 9:56 PM CDT

Lynn,

Do you know.... that throughout these 3 years.... we both have gone through some amazingly tough times.... very different ... but similar in some regards.... if anything, I think both of our love and faith for God and His will have grown- and I think we both very lucky for that... Some people never know... that the LOVE of GOD is so great- and it's very comforting... I know it's easy to get caught up on the why's of life... usually they go something like Why did this happen to me? I have been such a good person, wife, mom, child, etc.... But maybe we need to say Why ME? and think.... how lucky we are... to really know God, to really know our true friends and true family, and to really know ourselves....of course life is a learning experience daily... but we are so lucky because we really know the love... I know you feel it... and I know I do too.... again... not to compare our two situations... but I want to thank you... I have drawn so much strength in my life... through you... and I am so thank ful that you are who you are... if it wasn't for what you have gone through... I really woulndn't know you... you would just be Kathy's neighbor... who I saw a couple times a year... and I am honored to know you and continue to pray for God to make you healthy from the top of your head to the soles of your feet and I am soooo sorry that you are in sooooo much pain........... Sincerely, Nancy

Houston, tx - Thursday, June 8, 2006 8:04 PM CDT

Dearest Lynn....I am so sorry that you are still having to endure some tough pain. I prayed for you as we were flying over clouds this afternoon...Madeline told me to pray for you when I passed through clouds because God could probably hear me TONZ better!!! I have to tell you what the kids said to us the other night when we phoned them at Greg's parent's house. They were telling us all about their day with Grammy and Grandad and then proceeded to tell us how many red cardinals they found flying in Grandad's backyard...10!!! So, after explaining to Grammy and Grandad why red cardinals are so special to them, they all sat down by the window and prayed for you. Greg's dad loves to watch birds from his back window of their house and he always keeps a pair of binoculars on the window sill. Greg's mom told me that every morning, the kids would grab the binoculars and look for red cardinals! Know that we are praying much for you sweet friend....Hugs...Anna

Remember that you are SURROUNDED by love from all corners of this big-hearted country.

Praise God for some good news! I just know that this is only the beginning. Next PET we will find that all tumors are shrinking. I am so sorry for the pain Lynn. I so wish that I could take some from you to give you sweet relief and rest.

I have to tell you that your faith has so strengthened mine. You have given me such a fresh, new perspective on life. What used to seem like a boulder and sometimes trip my faith now looks like a grain of sand on a beautiful beach of life. Dave's "looking right" posting really hit that home with me.

Be encouraged that God is using this horrible ordeal that you are going through to strengthen those around you. It is such a blessing to us to be able to go through this with you and show your Christ's love here on Earth.

Keep fighting sister! We have some boulders in our road, but soon you too will see a beautiful beach! So much love to you and your family from ours!

It hurts me immeasurably to think of the pain you are knowing right now. I find it hardest for me in the dark hours when it's tempting to give in to fear. The Lord has his light on though!
I'm remembering our Bible study together on the purpose of prayer. I am on my knees tonight praying with you sweet friend. Please Lord take the pain away immediately from Lynn, heal her body from this cancer, shelter her family from fear, deliver hope and peace.
The Lord's peace be with you and comfort you. I love you!

Good morning Lynn. What a GREAT surprise to read your post from very early this morning. I'm so happy for you that you got to type it yourself. Don't push yourself too hard though as you need your energy too. I will be thinking of you and praying for you a lot today as you do chemo. I will pray that God will help you minimize the pain and that the side effects will be minimal as well. You can do this Lynn. Remember, you are running the marathon with all of us. We are all going to cross the victory finish line together shouting CANCER FREE and praising our good Lord even more!!!! Keep the faith always. Love, Heidi

FRISCO, TX USA - Tuesday, June 6, 2006 10:29 PM CDT

Thank you to all of you supporting our niece,Lynn, in one way or another. We surprised Lynn and her family by coming down for the race. What we found was an amazing bunch of people filled with so much love and compassion and hope. It really was a memorable day and a site to see, all those people fighting and praying for a cure. We were proud to be among you!
We had such fun just hanging out with Lynn and her parents, and Dave and his parents, and of course Taylor and Jacob. Lots of hugs and kisses flying about. We even had a girl's day of shopping and lunch with giggles and smiles and stories to tell. It was something that just had to be done. But then of course we had to leave and more hugs and kisses and tears were mingled in. And so again we leave our sweet niece,Lynn,(and her family) in your arms and ask you to hold her, and love her and lift her up in your prayers. We have no doubt that she is among angels on earth, because we met you, or walked with you, or shared smiles with you or saw your face in the Team Photo! THANK YOU ALL
Lynn,we miss you already. We enjoyed every moment and are so glad you felt good enough for company.(Even the crazy ones from Minnesota) Wayne and Suzanne you are wonderful parents and Lynn is so lucky you are able to stay with them through this trying time. Where else would you rather be than by her side when she needs you. We love you and admire you. God's Peace.
Love your Mn aunts and uncles(and Holly says don't forget the cousins)and Gr&Gr Berg

AS I THINK ABOUT THE WALK ON SATURDAY I JUST GET GOOSE BUMPS. IT WAS JUST AMAZING!!!! THERE ARE SOOOOO MANY PEOPLE THAT LOVE YOU AND ARE PRAYING FOR YOU. I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS WEEKEND - THE JOY OF SURPRISING YOU AND BEING A SMALL PART OF YOUR "SUPPORT TEAM" AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEND TIME WITH YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY. IT BROKE MY HEART TO LEAVE!!! I DON'T KNOW IF DAVE TOLD YOU THAT MY CAR DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN.... AND I JUST TOLD HIM IT WAS A SIGN THAT I SHOULD STAY. WE WERE SO GRATEFUL TO YOU FOR OPENING YOUR LOVELY HOME TO US AND ALLOWING US TO SPEND SO MUCH TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR MOM AND DAD.AS I'VE SAID MANY TIMES THERE'S NO OTHER PLACE IN THE WORLD I WOULD'VE RATHER BEEN. WE KNOW THE LORD IS LISTENING TO OUR PRAYERS - AND HE WILL ANSWER THEM. WE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR YOUR PAIN TO BECOME MANAGEABLE AND FOR THE LORD TO GRANT YOU THE STRENGTH AND COURAGE YOU'LL NEED TO FIGHT THIS WAR. GIVE THE KIDS HUGS AND KISSES AND TELL THEM AUNT CONNIE LOVES THEM. WE LOVE ALL OF YOU AND ARE PRAYING FOR YOUR PET SCAN RESULTS TO SHOW THAT THE CHEMO IS WORKING. SWEET DREAMS MY DEAR LYNN.

Hi Lynn,
Just want you to know that we are praying for good results on your PET scan and pain-free days to come.
I was reading a entry from your friend Jill Smail, who lives in Denver, and wants to put together a Lynn Newman Race Team in October. I want to let her know that Julie P. and I both want to be part of the team! I'll have to get her number from you and give her a call.
Take care Lynn and I hope today was a good one...Christine

Lynn, it was so great to see you this weekend... it was sooo great to see you at the race surrounded by your team.... it was soo fun to be a part of.... at night you are often in my prayers with the boys--- and it goes something so basic like "dear God, please make that icky cancer bug in Miss Lynn go away so she can feel better"- but they don't really know who Miss Lynn is.... so at the race....they tapped on me and asked "now which one is the lady with that icky cancer bug???" I pointed you out.... and I think it gave them comfort in seeing you and fun to have these little guys walk for such a great cause.... take care and I hope you enjoyed your weekend... Nancy

Wow, keep thinking about your wonderful LOOKING RIGHT team at Saturday's event. You are such a special person with an amazingly faithful spirit that is felt by everyone who touches you (whether it is in person, on-line reading your entries, or by phone). Emma gave me her LOOKING RIGHT bracelet this morning as somehow mine disappeared from my wrist doing some type of yard work this past week or so. Emma said she'll be fine without it as she knows Lynn's message. Cute! Love you and hope/pray your pain is better and that the chemo is killing those nasty cancer cells.

Dearest Lynn....I thought of you all day during our travels to California! I couldn't wait to get back to our hotel this evening to see all of the fun pictures from the race.(I am so glad we brought our laptop!) I so wish I could have been there...I feel like I walked for you here in San Francisco...these streets are not made for fun dressy shoes though! I actually think we walked 5 miles to get to this Mediterranean restaurant(not my choice!) and all I ate was a salad! I am definitely a southern gal who needs to eat potatoes with salt and butter...not spicy red powdery stuff!Anyway...I loved looking at the pics from today. Lynn...you looked amazing! I teared up when I saw the group picture...you are VERY loved girlie! Well, I must get to bed...my body is telling me it's 11 p.m. and it's only 9 p.m. here!! Oh and YEA MAVERICKS!!!!

I hope and pray that the Wed. pain-management procedure was successful and that you have the relief from pain that you so need and deserve! Enough is enough already!!

I read with joy the postings from those who participated in the race today! What a testament to you, Lynn, that there were so many who not only participated but also wrote to share their feelings about it!

I continue to pray for your family and close friends who are there close by you and going through this ordeal with you. I pray for peace, strength and patience for all of you, especially the children! I continue to pray for pain relief and total healing for you. I hope and pray that the results of the PET scan yesterday were totally positive.

May God bless you with a pain-free night and Sunday!

Lynn,

I wanted to let you know I am thinking about you and hoping your pain has lessened after your procedure.

Also to say "Thank You" for bringing a smile to my face, again. After reading your last post from your bedroom and sharing your thoughts about wishing to be outside with Taylor and Jacob to share in the fun and joy of summer. I was able to take a moment and realize the precious gifts I have been given (my children) and smile at the joy they bring. I am so sorry that your pain is what makes us realize how precious the simplest things in life are. Please know that if I could take a day of your pain and endure it for you to enjoy a free careless day with your children in the Sun, I would be the first in line and the line would be very long.

I am sending all the love in my heart and all the hope in my dreams for you. I am honored to be a part of "The Looking Right" team on Saturday.

Love,
Sharmaine

I don't "know" you, but was directed to your site through Dana, who I "met" through Jenny Scott, who I "know" from Babycenter! I just wanted to say that I have been following your story and praying for you and your family. How lucky you are to be blessed with such a loving family and wonderful friends. Hang in there, I will continue to pray for you!

I read your journal daily and what an inspiration you are! Your strength and positive outlook are amazing. I know you will get your game face back soon- I pray your pain is less after your procedure and will be thinking of you Friday. I have participated in the Komen race (Dallas & Plano) since 1999 and Saturday it will be more special than ever! I am honored to wear the Looking Right Team Tshirt! Love, Holly

Hey, Lynn!
I was just reading some of the entries on your post. Wow..the love just keeps on coming, doesn't it? It must put a HUGE smile on the face of God knowing that His love is still making a difference. In this world, the three things really do remain...faith, hope and love...the greatest of these being love. I am so thrilled that you are the recipient of such Christ-like love from people you know and those you don't. What a celebration! Still praying for you and your beautiful family...Taylor and Jacob's sweet faces are often in my thoughts.
Much love,
Lisa

I knew you had a lot but didn't realize it was four. Like I said yesterday in my entry, God put you all together for a reason. Isn't He awesome! Lynn, I hope your pain is better. I think about you so often and pray for you a lot. You are the most faithful person I know. What an honor to call you my friend.

Lynn, you are heavy on my thoughts today. I so hope that you are having a day of less pain.

My main reason for posting is say THANK YOU to Holly Crandell! Holly, you are such an amazing woman! I am sure that many who read the website don't realize that you have FOUR young kids! The fact that you give yourself so selflessly to Lynn and those who follow her is SOOO appreciated. I cover you in prayer too my friend as you continue to be a great mom to those kids, a caring wife and an amazing friend. May God bless you for all you do and continue to strengthen you as you help and comfort your precious friend Lynn. I know Lynn is shouting out a huge AMEN right now!

Have a fantastic day! So, looking forward to Saturday!
Always praying for you all.

Hi Lynn

My thoughts have been with you all day. Taylor was an absolute joy today. She and Emily have such a sweet and loving friendship - it truly warms my heart. She is such a compassionate child - she comes by it so naturally!

I so wanted to ask Dave how your day went when I came to the door - but didn't due to the 4 sets of "little ears" that were standing there with us. Please know that I was thinking of you and hope and pray that you have relief. I hope they can have another play date before we leave town for a few weeks on the 14th.

Hoping and praying that there is reason to celebrate on Friday! Looking forward to walking on Saturday and proudly wearing my "Looking Right" t-shirt - what a concept!!!

Dearest Lynnie,

My heart pains that you are still in pain. I will think of you ALL night long and pray that somehow...you will escape the wakeful times and just rest....sweet rest. You deserve it AND are more precious than gold my friend. Sometimes I think we are the only ones going through this horror of cancer and then I remember that so many people have journeyed before you and...will after you. Those that have already paved the way are helping YOU through this and you, in turn, are helping others. YOU are amazing, beautiful and wonderful. You make my life full and happy ALL THE TIME!
Know that I am sending you BIG hugs (the biggest ever) AND...that I feel yours right back.

Until tomorrow,

Holly

Our family prayed for you this morning that the doctors would be wise and that the Father would heal! Here's to answered prayers prayed by the smallest of voices.

Your precious daughter shared with Allison that you were sick in class near the end of the year. I had never shared this with her. My sweet Allison's heart goes out to Taylor as she deals with her mommy being sick. She prays for both of your nightly. God is so at work in the details. He brought our kids together in class and you and I together through our Faith. God is good and will bring you through this in his time, in his way and in victory over cancer!

I cannot wait to read about lessened pain and refreshed spirit! Always praying for you, your family and your marriage!

Hi Lynn,
It was so good to hear your words again! Don't get me wrong, we love Holly's posts too, she is also a true inspiration to all of us. It is so nice to hear about your beautiful surroundings-I have a perfect picture in my mind of what it looks like. It is a blessing to have that type of serenity when you are not feeling well. I know that the past week has been tough, but hopefully today's proceedure will diminish all of that horrible pain! YUCK!! It is just heart-breaking to hear you having to endure such agonizing pain. Lots of prayers for today's proceedure, Friday's PET scan, and for peace within you and your family. Love, Christine

Frisco, TX - Wednesday, May 31, 2006 11:29 AM CDT

Lynn and Holly, Thanks so much for the update. After reading your entry I realized so many things. I was just talking about you yesterday to a friend/neighbor who asked about you Lynn. I was telling her how God really does have a plan for us in such little and big ways. It was always in His plan to have you move into your current home in StoneBriar surrounded by angels on earth. Really, I feel it too that God put you there for a reason, all of you. I am truly overwhelmed with God's presence right now because of you Lynn. He is always working "the plan" even if we don't recognize it immediately. The yellow wallpaper in your bathroom with Red Cardinals flowing throughout the room. How did He know?! My faith has always been my backbone and my strength. Today, right now as I type I am feeling my faith strengthen, because of you Lynn and God's evident hand on you and all of us who are praying for you, loving you, supporting you, etc. throughout this journey. I will pray that your procedure today will give you the maximum pain relief you so deserve. I will pray that God will give you a glimmer of hope. I will pray for your kids, Dave, and your marriage; all remain strong and in tact. The Red Cardinal has never meant much to me until you and now, I see them everywhere. God is showing us all signs of hope. Let's keep the faith and continue to LOOK RIGHT on a daily basis. Much love, hope, prayers, positive thoughts from New Hope, MN (The Isaak Family). :)

Sweet Lynn,
I think about and pray for you and your family daily. I will pray throughout this day that the epidural is the answer to your pain management. I thank God that you see the blessings of each day, even though your heart is heavy with concern for your family. When I was young, my mom taught me to always take one day at a time...what wise words. We never know what a day brings, but we can ALWAYS count on our God to be there to hold us and to love us and to never ever leave us...not even if the grip of physical pain challenges us. Lynn, my prayer for you today is that today would be a celebration for you...that your pain is alleveiated and that your heart is light and overflowing with joy! You are precious.
I love you,

Lynn- I have never used this software that types your words as you talk, but some people that have say it works rather well. (http://www.nuance.com/naturallyspeaking/preferred/) It is called Dragon naturally speaking, it might be another alterniative to dictation. Thought it was worth at least a suggestion.

My entire family send our wishes to you, and I have lots of Virginia folks praying for you. My dear friend, Kathy, now living in the Chicago area, has written you a heartfelt e mail.

Saw this and thought of you......

Eagles In A Storm

Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks? The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits, the eagle sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it.

The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm. When the storms of life come upon us, and all of us will experience them, we can rise above them by setting our minds and our faith toward God. The storms do not have to overcome us. We can allow God's power to lift us above them.

God enables us to rise on the winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure, and disappointment in our lives. We can soar above the storm. Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down; it is how we handle them. The Bible says . . .

"Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles." Isaiah 40:31.
