Trust & Endurance

On Wednesday we returned to the hospital for cycle five of EvanMarie’s chemotherapy, stepping once again into this familiar rhythm of trust and endurance. This round includes cisplatin, a powerful drug that asks a lot of her small body. Its nickname is splat. Any guesses why? We know from experience that the nausea builds, that the days can grow heavy, and that recovery sometimes stretches longer than we’d like. Last time, it led to weeks of sickness and a blood transfusion, reminders of just how hard this fight can be sometimes. It’s exhausting.

And yet, we come back with hope.

Even now, EvanMarie is doing well, still spunky, silly, and radiant, still reminding us that joy and laughter can live right alongside suffering. And so, we place her again into God’s care, trusting that He who has carried her this far will not let her go now.

Please continue to pray for her comfort and peace, that her body would be protected, that the nausea would be softened, and that she doesn’t get discouraged in this fight. We trust that every prayer matters, that none are wasted, and that God is very near in this place. He hears us! 

Friends, the light is still breaking in. Love is still at work. And hope has not left this room. We are grateful you are still here with us.

​To God be the Glory in all things.
