Journal entry by Stephanie Dellaria —
December update:
In the book of John from the Bible, Jesus’s disciples were passing by a man born blind. They asked Jesus, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “it was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him.” In this trial it has been so easy to think why, why God was our son born with cancer? Why couldn’t it have been me or someone else? And here God answers this. It’s so simple. God chose to use Zachary so the works of God would be displayed in him. It’s really truly never about us. This life and his journey. The pains and the trails we experience are nothing compared to the Glory we will one day experience in Heaven.
As we are walking into this Christmas season we are rejoicing. We are rejoicing that God is showing his power through continuing to heal and protect Zachie. We are rejoicing that his December scan showed no change in the tumor and we will remain off chemo for another 6 months and recheck then.
We ask that you continue to pray that God would completely heal Zachary that one day we will not need follow up appointments.
Thank you for the love, support, texts, call and prayers! We hope you have a merry Christmas celebrating the birth of our Savior and you are surrounded with the love and warmth of those you love.
