- At the first of November, Ryan hurt his back. We thought that he had just pulled a muscle and after a few days he would be better and able to move and walk better. After 3 days of not getting better and not being able to do anything but lay in the bed, we went to the doctor. He had herniated a disc in his lower back. We were referred to a neurosurgeon to see what the best options were for Ryan's back. We were told that 50% of people with herniated disc heal on their own with time, and the other 50% have to have surgery. The dr. told us that it would take at least 4 weeks for his back to heal. Ryan was told to come back and see him at the end of 4 weeks for a follow up. So we decided that we would wait and see if his healed over time. In the mean time, we were praying and believing in God for Complete healing in Ryan's back. The Sunday after we found out about his back, 2 friends of mine and myself prayed for Ryan's back and for complete healing. This week Ryan started to be able to do more, he was walking better, able to get up and down out of bed without hurting, he was back to helping me around the house, picking up the boys. Which means that 2 weeks after he hurt his back, and the same week that my friends and I stood in the gap for Ryan and prayed for healing Ryan's back was HEALED!!! God is amazing! Ryan didn't have to wait the 4 weeks to feel better and be healed! God heard our prayers and answered them, PRAISE GOD!!
- Ryan has been looking for a second job for several months now. He is doing this, so when I get accepted into nursing school, we will be able to live, since I will be quitting my full-time job to go to school full-time. He has tried several places and it always fell through. Since we are humans, we started to really stress and really worry about what would we do and how would we survive while I was in school and not able to work. We know that we can't live off Ryan's 1 full time job. We would try and think of another option, only for us to realize that wouldn't work, or that wasn't going to be right and many other different things. We finally realized that God was testing us. He was testing our Faith and Trust in him! We weren't trusting him by worrying and fretting about Ryan finding another job. We weren't allowing God to provide for us. I believe that all the times that jobs didn't come through for Ryan or ideas for jobs didn't pan out the way that we wanted them to, was God telling us that we will fall if we try to do this on our own, but if we would completely trust in him and stand on faith that everything would be fine and we would be taken care of and provided for. He kept reminding us that he wouldn't call me into Nursing and get me a quarter of the way into it and then just leave me there all by myself. He would always be there for me/us and we had to trust in him. He will always fulfill his promises. So Ryan and I prayed about it and we put it in Gods hands and trusted in promise. Shortly after that, Ryan was able to get an interview with the Gluckstadt FD. (They aren't a city, so they don't have a full time fire department. They pay Firemen to be there during from 8am-6pm. They they rely on their volunteer guys to cover at night.) The interview went well and Ryan was told he would hear from them in a week or two. So we prayed about it and left it in God's hands. We knew that if this was the right place for Ryan and this was God's timing then he would get the job. If it wasn't God's timing or Gods will, then something else would come up at a later time. Last Wednesday night, Ryan found out that he got the job! He will start in January. God showed out again!! PRAISE GOD!!
"He says, Be Still and Know I am God.
I will be honored among the Nations.
I will be honored in all the earth."
