Colette The Victorious with Kate Piazza


Listen Later

Today Kate Piazza, wife, mom, ER nurse & author shares the story of her daughter Colette who battled childhood cancer. To hear of Kate's deep, unwavering trust in God and the Lord's kindness to them throughout Colette's battle brought me to tears many times throughout this interview. After Kate and I recorded this episode she sent me an email, writing some of the most encouraging words I've ever heard (and I'm sharing with her permission). 

She writes... "From someone who had to face the thing I dreaded most in the world, I am telling you straight: God's grace was always enough. Everything I dreaded did become a reality for me but had I known that God's grace would have sustained me like it did I would not have feared so much. God's grace made the unbearable bearable. I think of Psalm 23:5..."He set a table for me in the presence of my enemies." He provided for me emotionally, physically, spiritually right there in the dark places. Don't give in to the temptation to live a life of dread. Wherever you go in life, God's grace will be a step ahead--setting up a table for you in the presence of your enemies. You're safe. So safe..." 

Hearing these words from a mother who lost her only baby girl is evidence to me that there must be a loving and living God. Listen in and hear Kate's story about Colette and our almighty, sustaining & gracious God.

-As the holiday season is quickly approaching, I'd love for my amazing online community to choose one patient to champion during this season. Would you pray about who you can show tangible love to and send them a gift to remind them that they are not forgotten? If you're struggling to decide on a gift or have no idea where to start, here is a list of gifts that were most helpful to me during my battle with cancer: https://www.alichristian.com/giftsforawarrior.

-When you send your patient a gift, I'd love for you to send me a message and let me know who you sent a gift to (first name only) and what you sent. It would be such a blessing for me to hear about this community spreading God's love during this holiday season & to be able to give you a shoutout on the podcast.
