Faith in the Fire: Walking Through Childhood Cancer Part II

Faith in the Fire: Walking Through Childhood Cancer Part II17 aug45 min

<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&#39;s timing, and the prayer Logan prayed over it: Lord, if this isn&#39;t Your will, don&#39;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&#39;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&#39;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&#39;re in survival mode. And how the peace that passes understanding is just a phrase until you&#39;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>&quot;A man&#39;s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.&quot; Proverbs 16:9</p><p><strong>In this episode:</strong></p><p>(04:26) Science said he&#39;d need a transfusion. We didn&#39;t walk through an ounce of it</p><p>(09:26) Lord, if this isn&#39;t Your will, don&#39;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&#39;t heard Part 1 yet? Start there, then come back. And next Monday we start a brand new two-part story with Gina&#39;s oldest brother Troy.</p><p>New episodes every Monday.
