Praying for you Joanne. I am giving thanks for your nights of good sleep, and for the Sunday blessings you were given today. Enjoy your hamburger and fries! I will continue to pray for Complete Healing with extra emphasis on flaps and flip flops...hmm where did that come from flip flops maybe since spring is in the air? Maybe a loved one will get you some flip flops for the flap trip? Even if Toben has to wear them. Your Siesta that's praying in Bryan Tx

Let's hope you get the news for which you are hoping. Thank goodness for better sleep. I will pray for continued healing, continued rest and peace as Joanne anticipates further surgery.

Sounds like a wonderful Sunday to me. Continued prayers and praise for a couple nights of better sleep.

Susan Moher

Sounds like a perfect day!---how can it miss starting with 'real' shower, burger & fries, and friends!C=
Praising the good sleep and rest these past couple of days. Toben, you sound better rested as well. God is good...all the time.
Praying that this good day is just the start to a great week...continued rest and healing, and good news at Wednesday's appointment.
Love and prayers to all your family for continued rest and encouragement.

PS - Tried your recipe for your uncle's burrittos yesterday, Joanne - your chicken-apple sausage version. Was a hit!! Not sure they'll make it through the week?!;)
That's OK cuz I'm anxious to try the chorizo-green chile version, too...Thanks!!

Hi, Joanne and family! I have been a "lurker in the shadows." I first heard of your stroke via Beth Moore's tweet. I since have found out that I have friends who have read your books! I have been following your story and praying for your recovery. I just wanted to give you a shout out to say hello! I will continue to pray God's peace and healing over you and your family!

Theresa Roach

Happy to hear that Joanne is having a HAPPY Sunday, that she rested... which means YOU rested too! I'll be praying that your requests are fulfilled:) Have a blessed day, HUGS from Georgia!

Mary Lou

Praising Him for the good sleep. Will add you all to my list of people that I pray for every night to get good sleep. Will pray for your other requests. God is good and He is good ALL of the time. You all are living this out before the rest of us. Blessings on your Sabbath...Your Siesta in TN

Toben, when you can't see HIS hand...trust His Heart! i am so very sorry that you are wiped out! I am praying for you and your sweet wife! I just got back from a Linda Dillow retreat where she spoke on contentment, even when things are super hard. My 7 year old has a tumor by his spine that the doctors can not do a thing about...John-Michael, like all of us (really), is in His hands and totally out of mine. My post on what I learned from Linda, might be helpful to you...
GOd has sooooo many praying for you and your family!
Be encouraged,
Rachel

God Bless you.

Praying for Joanne and the whole family that the travel to the doctor's goes well and that they might beable to put the flap back before she goes into rehab. Praying all else goes well.

Praying and Praising here! We will continue to pray daily for your sweet family and we are just tickled pink that Joanne has finally gotten a good nights sleep. (and you, too!)

Hi Joanne and family,
Just thought I would share with you that because of you I have found out about Jesus Calling. Since hearing about this book I have bought many copies for friends and all say how perfectly it speaks to them. What I found really neat is today I ordered another copy for a friend from Amazon and it showed others who bought this book also bought...Joanne Heim's Misplacing God and finding Him again. Praying for you and wanted to remind you how your life is impacting millions! Love, Sue from NC

Carol

Joanne and family, Just a quick note to let you know that you are being prayed for daily in Maine. We rejoice in your progress and pray for continued strength. You all are a blessing. Love and prayers, Carol
