Lean Not On Your Own Understanding

By Christy Steiner “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.   In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 There are some experiences in life you pray to God you NEVER have to go through again. May 6 th , 2014. My 4 year old daughter Isabella (Izzy) was playing with her brother when I heard her crying. I entered the room, picked her up, and attempted to console her. She was soothed for a time, but within the hour she presented with concussive-like symptoms: lethargy and vomiting. “Not again!” I thought. Not another “episode.” We monitored her all day and throughout the night, but in the early morning my husband woke me and said it was time to take her to the ER. She was not moving her right side and was minimally responsive. Little did we know this would be her worst “episode” yet. — Izzy was born a healthy baby, without complications . She was more uncoordinated than a typi

Clinging to Christ When Your Child has Cancer

By Danielle Munoz PC: Unsplash I rested in the glow of the Christmas tree with my newborn son, my heart close to bursting. A week ago he arrived, adding even more delight to the Advent season. Yet even in that joy I couldn’t shake the growing unease over my daughter.  As my baby boy strongly kicked and cooed, she appeared to be slowly deteriorating before my eyes. First, a bloody nose. Random bleeding gums. Then bruises—one, two, three, and several more popping up in unusual places.  These can’t be from her usual clumsiness, can they? Despite these warning signs, she remained the ever-bubbly, bright, outgoing toddler, quieting my doubts. But at one point, as I spotted another concerning bruise, a word rushed into my mind seemingly out of nowhere— leukemia. I knew next to nothing about its symptoms, but God in his grace was preparing me.  Days later, when the church nursery said she uncharacteristically laid down too tired to play and a low fever creeped up,

The Silver Lining to the Cancer Cloud

By Julia Whitfield This is a true story. On an October night ten years ago, we sank down on the couch to continue watching The John Adams Story . Our three small children, including the eight month old baby, were tucked into bed for the night. The episode dealt partly with Adams’ oldest daughter, Nabby, who contracted breast cancer as a young woman and later died of it. Watching the depiction of 18th century surgery in sympathetic horror, I instinctively raised my hand to my chest. At the top of my right breast, my fingers felt something hard. Instantly, the thought. “Is that what people mean when they say they felt a lump?”   I continued watching TV in silence. No one does breast self exams during pregnancy and nursing, so it  had been over a year since I last checked. Had the doctor given me a breast exam four months ago at my regular physical? I couldn’t remember. The lump wasn’t painful; was that a good or bad sign? Maybe it was just a blocked duct. I would wait and see fo
