Cara Lewis is from Mobile, Alabama and is married to Jarvis, a firefighter. Cara and Jarvis have one son, Asher, who is 4 and such a little charmer! In 2020, after some devastating medical crises with Asher, Cara went from working as a medical assistant in a hospital and doctor's office to becoming Asher’s full-time caregiver. God has now shifted her career plans to focus on advocacy. She is a parent advocate, and plans events and fundraisers for special needs and medically complex families in her area. She is also a director of a non-profit organization that financially supports local families with medical equipment, supplies, and other resources. I really enjoyed sitting down with Cara and hearing her testimony of how far God has brought her and the amazing things He has done in her life and that of her son. I know you will be inspired by these stories as well!
You can find Cara on Facebook at “A Special Mama” or her son's page, “Team Asher”. The verse mentioned in this episode is Deuteronomy 33:24.
Hope Heals Camp is part of the ministry of Jay and Katherine Wolf. It is a sacred space of "belonging and belovedness" where our good, hard stories come together to blur the lines between heaven and earth and hardship and hope. I have never felt closer to God than at that camp. I encourage all of you to check out the ministries of Hope Heals, including their newest venture Mend Coffee in Atlanta bringing jobs and hope to the community.
This is my second podcast interview with a fellow camper at Hope Heals Camp. I love doing these and getting to know a little more about these precious families. The stories of good-hard lives being blessed by God in amazing ways are touching and inspiring. I hope you are inspired to notice what God is doing in your life as well!
