I remember being in your same position after they found the tumors in my mom's brain. I felt completely helpless and felt very frustrated while praying. I knew God would do what needed to happen but i felt so distant from an answer. I would pray off and on depending on how mad i was that day. Everything you wrote about is pretty much normal for what you're going through. Don't let anybody tell you that it is wrong to feel that way at times. I had a few tell me that and it always just made me feel worse. You do have a testimony and if you ever need to vent or just ask questions you can always call brooke or I. We pray for you always and are available for anything. 801-310-1606 Much love!Jamie Densley Fieberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181967399096817194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8513442700626000708.post-54679973927837373942008-05-28T10:20:00.000-04:002008-05-28T10:20:00.000-04:00Amanda, so sorry to hear that news..

I know you must be feeling discouraged. I would be angry too. I'm sorry I missed the fast. Our ward is fasting this coming Sunday for a few members in our ward who are dealing with cancer as well. I will include your mom in my fast. Ultimately, like you said, things are left up to Heavenly Father's will, but I think He also wants to see what we are willing to do and how much faith we show in difficult situations. Seeking treatment,making lifestyle changes, our mental outlook, prayer, fasting, supporting each other, etc... I do think it makes a difference than if we didn't do any of those things. I know your mom appreciates all that you are doing for her. She's blessed to have such a loving and supportive family to help her through this.Kelli @ writing the waveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06529137162073950732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8513442700626000708.post-25837898332345456262008-05-24T19:46:00.000-04:002008-05-24T19:46:00.000-04:00Thinking about your mom and your family.

He does love you, and He knows your fears. He hears your prayers. He is your Heavenly Father, and surely He matches with His own the tears His children shed." ~ Jeffrey R.

Just remember that miracles happen in unexpected ways. Sometimes we have to experience the bad before we can enjoy the good. My prayers are with you and your family. (I hope I win an arm band.
