We are so thankful to be in the middle of 2 weeks of normal family life. This week is a surprise week off, since Cade didn't make counts on Friday to do the five day chemo he was scheduled to do this week. With that delay also comes some more dose reductions for the next large chemo group. It is amazing how much we appreciate our oncologist. She is thoughtful and careful, and I love her approach to treatment.
We hope today is a day full of breakthrough for all of us, even if the breakthrough is just clear eyes and lungs to see and breathe in all God is doing around us. I love the rhythm of fasting because it helps me stay awake to my need. The physical signs of hunger are so loud, I only wish my body was equally as vocal about hungering for God. May we all develop spirits that are aware of our hunger.
Here is the video devo for this week, and also some prayer points for the next week:
1. Please pray that Cade's body receives the EXACT amount of chemo he needs and not one more drop.
2. Please pray he is prepared for next week's five day chemo, and that he has no side effects from it that are negative, especially diarrhea.
3. Please pray Cade continues to thrive as a little boy, and that his miraculous recovery and sustenance in this journey brings breakthrough and healing for every single person who hears about it. We are asking that his testimony increases faith all around him. There is an amazing verse in Revelations 19 about how "the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy,"; its a mind blogging verse but I extract this thought from it: what Jesus is doing now, or has done in the past, He can do again. It sets a precedent. May Cade's story raise the standard for each person who hears it and has to walk through a similar place.
