Today, Lance & Susan Smith joined Chris and Christy on the Lighthouse Podcast. Lance and Susan have two children - Aiden, who is eleven years old, and Annabelle, who is nine years old.
Annabelle's journey began at three years old with excessive thirst and hunger, leading to a diagnosis of Diabetes Insipidus. However, a spot on her hip led to a further diagnosis of Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis. After a year of treatment, including chemotherapy, Annabelle finished her treatment in February 2020. Amidst the cancer journey, her family experienced a rollercoaster of events, including hip dysplasia, gall bladder surgery, and adenoid removal.
Lance reflects on how Aiden handled everything, while Susan shares how Annabelle coped with everything. Amidst the tough times, their faith was shaken, and they were mad at God. Their faith became like a rollercoaster, but they experienced how God pursued them directly. Susan dreamed about eagles and received a note from a stranger, while Lance had his own stories of God pursuing him personally. As they continue to navigate their journey, they hold on to their faith and trust that God will see them through.
