  1. Janna,

    Thanks for you recent posting. I am so glad that you have "the peace that surpasses understanding". The other day I was reading in Matthew 24 or 25. It talks about us getting "oil" in our lamps so that we are ready for the approaching Day of The Lord. I consider oil being a "history" in the Lord, in which we know the deepness of the Lord. Janna, you have "oil" in you lamp and you know the deepness of the Lord. The ache in you to spend more time with Him is that the Spirt is calling you to come up even higher and meet with HIm. He has BIG plans for you.

    Bless you.

  2. What a wonderful message and testimonial. That applies to so many of us at so many times in our lives. But can we, DO we listen and actually hear? Sadly, some of us more so than others.

    Janna, you continue to be both an inspiration and a blessing. Your experience has galvanized your Faith. Your Faith is a beacon to so many..including me.

    May the Lord Continue to Bless You,
    Steve G

  16. Praying fervently for you today, and tomorrow. We continue to think of you often, and how gracefully you've handled everything this far. God gives us great strength, huh!?! I know this is pretty much your daily verse to live by (or as I see how you have done things), but the verse that comes to mind today for me is, "Cast all your cares on Christ because he cares for you." Hugs to you! Ryan, Kristi, Isaac & Eli

  39. Janna,
    Happy New Year & Merry Christmas! I agree with your latest post about having a hard time remembering what Christmas is really about. But I got great waves of love this year as I heard Hailey (6 years old) tell Zach (3 years old) about what Christmas was really about. Hailey says we are really celebrating Jesus' birthday. Zach still is saying "no" it's about Santa. Hailey just shakes her head and rolls her eyes after a few minutes of trying to convince him.

    Have a wonderful 2012!!!
    Love,
    Jenny (Griswold) Avari

  40. janna - happy happy happy birthday a little late. what an amazing example and inspiration you are to all of us. thanks for your transparency regarding Christmas. i so feel the same way. i always hope that maybe next year i'll get it right.... the anticipation, expectation and gratitude for the birth of our savior. i've even pared down on the gift giving to try to have the right focus and i still have a sense of emptiness. i suppose we always will until Jesus comes back... we need MORE of Him. i know you are grateful for the fullness of Christ that you have been able to experience in all your pain. much love to you janna!! steph emery

  41. Janna,

    Continue to be "that squeaky wheel" before our merciful Lord. There is something about the persistence of prayer before the Lord that renders answers. Thinking and praying for you today before I read your blog....still wondering why you have to suffer like this. The Lord sees every breath you take. He cares!!! Keep being persistent.

  42. Hi sweet friend, may you find such great hope & peace this evening. I was trying to look up some verses on hope & came across I Corth 13:13 "Now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." Thought this might give you a chuckle because of that love skit that we did with K-Club in Kville with the clanging pots. :) Praying that God would be so close to you & that your spirit would be encouraged. He loves you & is always with you!!! Love Holly Keller

  43. Janna,
    You have been such a soldier of faith, don't give up now. "If God be for us then who can be against us". Proverbs 6:2 "Thou art snared by the words of thy mouth".... and Proverbs 18:21 "Death and Life are in the power of the tongue". So you precious child of God, stand on what you already know and speak to your mountain. Say to your mountain be thou removed! You are healed and your lungs are too. Speak in faith say that you are "ok" even when in the physical you feel horrible. Say "I am ok in Jesus name". There is a miracle in your mouth! I pray for you and have added you once again to the prayer list at my church. May God up hold, strengthen and Bless You.

  44. Psalm 119:28
    My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word.

    Psalm 22:19
    But you, O LORD, be not far off; O my Strength, come quickly to help me.

    Ephesians 3:16
    I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you [Janna Wilhaus, His beloved daughter] with power through His Spirit in your inner being.

    Isaiah 33:2
    O LORD, be gracious to us; we long for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of distress.

    Isaiah 41:13
    For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.

    Deuteronomy 31:6
    Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.

    Ephesians 3:17-21
    so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

    AMEN and AMEN!

    Praying for you, Janna.
    Strength, peace, love, and healing to you!

  45. Janna,

    Praise God! What a difference over the last couple of days. I know God answers prayers and you my dear are the proof! Thank God for the improvement health wise and also in your state of mine. Your improved attitude increases your altitude (soar high and higher). Luke 1:37 "For with God nothing shall be impossible". Isiah 65:24 "And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer, and while they are yet speaking, I will hear". The eyes of the Lord are on the rightous and I know he watches you! Faith is the key that unlocks the door!

    I noticed you used the word "OK" and that is what I said on Wednesday to you. Keep on keeping on....

  46. Janna,
    So glad to hear you are feeling better. I have been praying that breathing would become easier and easier. You have such insight when you say that God gives you the strength in the moment to "carry the cross". Hearing God say that we know so little this side of eternity. Also still knowing that God is going to give you a double portion. Praying for STRONG ENCOURAGEMENT for you. Thanks so much for your blog entries.

  50. I'm so glad you had a great time in Florida and felt good!! What a blessing! I missed you in FL by two weeks. I leave a week from Sunday for Orlando for a work conference. Wish I was going to Disney but I couldn't go there without bringing Haley so maybe she can come with me next year! Anyway, I'm so happy you had a great week and I hope you get great report in Omaha!

  58. Hello!

    I'm so glad you are feeling so much better! I've been away from your page for a few months now. But the positive messages of hope and love are what I really needed. It's been a hard few months in Newtown. We are trying to accept help. People are still having problems, kids are still suffering. It's not always an easy place to be. But there is lots of love and support.

    Love,
    Jenny (Griswold) Avari

    I check back on your blog periodically, hoping to see an update. I'm glad that you recently posted and happy to hear from Katie Dowden that you are coming to the class reunion. I look forward to seeing you and catching up. As always, you are a great inspiration and role model.
    My best,

  60. Janna,
    One of the many reasons that I love you so much is that on a day when I need a "pick me up" I click on "future and a hope" and read a message from you. You never fail to leave me happier, better, more prepared to face my day, filled with more hope and joy and courage, wanting to share my faith just a bit more than yesterday. You are a blessing and a light shining for others to see how God can work through you to reveal Himself. You make us proud. Mom

  63. Hi Janna, Checking your blog daily. Praying that God gives you the grace to go through each moment of each day. Praying that you feel him fighting for you. Praying that you have the peace that transcends all understanding and knowing that his mercies are new every morning. I am just so sorry you are sick. God sees and hears. We have to believe this. He is attentive to our every word.

  65. Yeah!!! You are home. So well written Janna. Suffering....he does not cause your suffering, but is/will use it for something beautiful. Your days are not wasted.

  69. I just stumbled onto your blog today. I am encouraged by your faith and hope you are still clinging to the hem of His garment. Never forget He first loved us and that is why we love Him. I hope this finds you well and encourages you. Maybe it's time to continue your blog in a new way. Just keep encouraging others and you will be encouraged.
