Fasting Tuesday Week #22: The Shadow of the Most High

This week is scan week, and I know people must be praying because the peace we both feel is ridiculous. Cade has enjoyed a week of being so normal- running, playing, sweating, soccer, playgrounds. All of the things I once took for granted feel like a privilege and a gift.

Thursday morning we will go in for a chest CT scan and a meeting with our oncologist. If the spots remain, we will have surgery in the next two weeks to remove them and get pathology. Everything hinges on the results of the pathology, and we are praying that every single cell is dead.

We got to spend time with friends on Sunday night celebrating how faithful God has been through this process. It was so encouraging, and so good for me to stop and look back and realize all that God has done. It reminds me of the story where Jesus healed 10 leperous men and only one returned to thank him. I want to be that one. I want to always be willing to recognize when miracles have happened. Some days it feels like life can be a long string of difficult things  ahead, but I think thankfulness gives us new perspective. Every day God has new mercies that help us make it.

The further we get on this journey the more I realize that there is no perfect way to do all of this, and there is no rulebook. We are learning how to trust and how to rest and how to listen more and more every day. I know when my heart has left trust because anxiety and fear quickly come piling in. I love how Psalm 91 talks about us abiding in the shelter of the Most High, there is something so peaceful about His presence. Even if my circumstances have not shifted, when I go to His shadow the trouble can’t find me there.

Thank you so much for praying with us for clean scans and hearts full of hope this week. We are indebted to each and everyone of you for how faithfully you have carried our family through this difficult time.

    By producing these types of looks, normal individuals obtain the chance to reveal their style and also character, while emphasizing that style isn't only for the rich but also for all types of people as well as classes. The only issue is that most of the contemporary streetwear brands names are pricy and also unreachable from the major populace. It in some way defeats the function of the style movement.

Week 6 Chemo

Cade is doing great! I've been drinking up these precious, normal life days in all their fullness. It's amazing how this whole experience has increased our capacity to feel joy. In every sense, we are more aware and alive to the gift of life. We are still completely amazed at how unscathed he was by this past five day treatment. We are praying fervently that all of the treatment went straight to all the cancer, and his healthy cells stay healthy. Thank you for praying with us.  Cade has a chemo infusion tomorrow at 12 pm EST. As always, the chemo prayer points we initially wrote are  here . Below are some verses we prayed last week over Cade throughout his infusions, and ones we will also be praying tomorrow.  1. Please pray that this chemo would be a tool in God's hands. Psalm 119:91: "All things are your servants." I love this simple verse. When I read it last week I got excited. God is just SO in control of everything. Even in the crazy book o...

Food for Thought

One of my favorite places to eat in college (along with every other Baylor girl) was a little hole in the wall restaurant called Food for Thought. I think I basically went for the frozen yogurt. In all of my trips back to Baylor the past eight years I've never made it there again. Which is sad. Waco has been touched by Fixer Upper though so too many new things draw my attention.  I wanted to blog today just some verses, prayers, podcasts, songs that have been food for our thoughts lately. I always wondered on the outside of trials in other peoples' lives what they thought about, how they managed. I couldn't fathom walking through things, and I have a pretty vivid imagination so I was always attempting to walk in their shoes. This situation has me realizing no two people face trials similarly. What encourages me might totally depress someone else. I am motivated by things that are particular to me. I am so grateful that Chad and I truly do think a lot alike in this situati...
