  10. Starr, when you were born and your Mom & Dad named you Starr, I felt that you must have had anivisible star on your forehead to be named after it. I am making a wish to that " Star on your forehead" to guide you into Good Health. Jimmi and I love you very much. You are in our thoughts all the time. We know you are strong and you will prevail!

  17. Dear Starr,
    You are an amazing woman of courage and strength. You will walk through this trying time with dignity and perseverence and be a role model for those who follow. The support you have is huge, and the love being sent your way is even bigger. "The hands that hold the world are holding your heart. This is the promise He made: He will be with you always. When everything is falling apart, you will be safe in His arms." Lyrics by Phil Wickham.
    Lots of prayers and strong thoughts are being sent your way every day. Catch!
    Love, Laurie

  18. Starr,

    We don't know eachother, but I'm a fellow DCC sister, 1993. Was so glad to hear at the end of your video that you ARE a believer in Christ! What a relief because as you know with Christ, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! He is the same God yesterday, today and forever and is no respector of persons, if He can raise the dead, He certainly can heal you of this! No doubt about it! The important thing to keep in mind all along the way is that God heals according to your faith! No matter WHAT kind of diagnosis you may recieve or how bad the news may get, never begin to doubt that God WILL heal you! Speak life, health and wholeness over you AND pronounce to the Doctors that God will get you through this...God will use this for His glory when it's over - you'll be a walking, talking testimony for Him! Read healing scriptures DAILY! Get the book entitled "God's Perscription for divine Health" by Gloria Copeland, it contains all the healing scriptures. When our daughter went through a difficult time when she was born, my husband read them over her daily in the NICU. God healed her of everything! He is AWESOME! I'd be happy to e-mail you her testimony for encouragement and hope. My e-mail is cewald6@gmail.com. Let me know how I can help! You'll be in our prayers, thankyou for your video and your faith! God Bless you Starr!

    In Christ,

  26. Starr,
    I'm so sorry to hear your bad news. I'm praying for you and praying that this experience will bring you closer and closer to the Lord! If you have time, read the blog of my friend Chelsee (link is at the bottom)...it's very inspirational. She was diagnosed with brain cancer and has such an inspirational story about how it brought her closer to the Lord. My church pastor was also diagnosed with brain cancer about a year ago and also has an AMAZING story...I attach that video link as well! I hope and pray that you will hear nothing but good news!

    In Christ,
    Emma

  27. Starr,

    I have only known you for a short time, and the one thing I noticed right away was how strong of a person you are. You have accomplished and tackled so much in your life with ease that it goes without saying that this illness is no match for you. You are in my thoughts and my prayers and with your toughness and the strength of the lord this should only be a minor set back in your life in which you have so much yet to experience. Dig your heels in and keep your head up.. this cancer better watch out because it doesn't know who its messing with.

    May Christ give you strength.

    With Love-

    David Johnson
