FEASTING TUESDAY #23: Those Who Dream

We are so thrilled to share with y'all the good news from this week's scans. We explain at length in the video we made, and share some other cool stories. The bottom line is that Cade's four new lung nodules we saw on the scans in August were completely gone- and based on some new findings our oncologist feels confident it is the result of an infection and not the disease. We are not doing surgery, we are done with chemo, and CADE IS GOING TO SCHOOL!

We will re-scan in three months to check on the scar tissue to make sure it is not growing, and to monitor him. We are so thankful to have this break, and we are hoping you fully celebrate with us. Our minds are still pretty blown- we had an emotional whiplash of a week last week, and I am personally still very much processing and absorbing what all of this means. In essence, I feel like I am emerging from hiding with my family, and it is amazing how many new decisions need to be made.

But this is what relationship with Jesus is all about, walking out the new seasons and the old seasons hand in hand. I personally feel more afraid of freedom than of the past few months, because it feels terrifying to trust it. But that's where a trust adjustment comes- I am trusting Jesus to be with us now, and to be with us in a year, and five years, etc.

Thank you for praying for us and with our family, and for fasting with us in whatever capacity for the past 23 weeks. What a ride! We will probably be back on the blog periodically over the next few months to post updates of Cade, and certainly to recruit prayer backing for our scans ahead.

As for fasting on Tuesdays, Chad and I just haven't even had time to ask God what we do with it. We have LOVED the rhythm of it, loved the discipline, loved the chance to really demonstrate on such a very small scale to God that He is worth our hunger and our discomfort, even if for a day. Thank you for joining us in it, and I hope we all continue to find a way to cultivate hunger for the Lord, and persistence in prayer. You all have been champions for our hearts. THANK YOU!!

I have been returning to John 11 the past few weeks, to remember the story and the verse that I now consider "Cade's",

"Did I not tell you that if you would believe, you would see the glory of God?"

He certainly has displayed Himself to be a faithful, patient, loving Friend and Father.

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

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
