Faith in the Fire: Walking Through Childhood Cancer Part II
<p>Science said one thing. God said another.</p><p>The doctors handed them a 15-month plan. Forty-six weeks of chemo, six weeks of radiation, and a long list of complications to brace for. A year later, Ciarra can tell you Jackson walked through almost none of it. His own care team calls him the poster child for the treatment plan.</p><p>Part 2 is where she traces the provision, and honestly, the details are the best part. There was a house they were about to buy on emotion instead of God's timing, and the prayer Logan prayed over it: Lord, if this isn't Your will, don't just close the door, slam it shut. It appraised 75,000 dollars under asking. Their realtor had never seen anything like it.</p><p>What God actually had was better. A family friend handed them a fully furnished lake home with a sandy yard, which happened to be the one thing Jackson needed, because he couldn't play in dirt with his port. Nobody thought to ask for that. God thought of it anyway.</p><p>Then groceries on the doorstep. Dinners. A Christmas the family was far too tired to make happen. A dinosaur on top of a tree that nobody knew was significant until Jackson looked up. A once-in-a-lifetime job for Logan twenty minutes from home.</p><p>Ciarra's honest about the parts nobody puts on a prayer card, too. Fear that runs straight to the worst outcome. Protecting a marriage while you're in survival mode. And how the peace that passes understanding is just a phrase until you're living inside it.</p><p>Her word to the mom who just got the news is simple. Get off Google. God is bigger than any diagnosis.</p><p>"A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps." Proverbs 16:9</p><p><strong>In this episode:</strong></p><p>(04:26) Science said he'd need a transfusion. We didn't walk through an ounce of it</p><p>(09:26) Lord, if this isn't Your will, don't just close the door. Slam it shut</p><p>(21:33) Mommy, look at the top of the tree</p><p>(39:31) Get off Google. God is bigger than any diagnosis</p><p>Haven't heard Part 1 yet? Start there, then come back. And next Monday we start a brand new two-part story with Gina's oldest brother Troy.</p><p>New episodes every Monday.
