Yay, we finally have internet at the house! Hopefully this means I will be able to blog a lot more. I have to get some homework done but wanted to share this little story from yesterday.
Yesterday sometime in the morning, I was in a hurry to get the garbage out before the garbage men came. It had just rained so the dirt incline to the road was a little slick. I really didn't think anything of it. I put my flip flops (slippers as they are called here) on, grabbed the trash and went to put the trash in it's place. On the way back down, I slipped on a very muddy spot, bent in an awkward position and heard my back crack. My back has been hurting for a week, so my initial reaction was hopeful that the pop I had heard was going to make my back feel better. I came inside, sat down to work with Ty on his homework, and the pain just started rippling through my body. So much for making things better.
Angie gave me some anti-inflammatory cream and I took some ibuprofen which I believe both helped but definitely didn't get rid of the pain. When we got to class yesterday after devotions, Pastor Mike asked Renae (a wonderful woman of the Lord who is with us for just a few more days) if she would pray for my back. She agreed and when the time came, she walked over to me and layed her hands on me and started praying. Here is my favorite part... one I don't recall has ever happened yet. As Renae was praying, Tyler came up beside me. Usually he will talk in my ear or ask for something... sometimes a distraction. Well yesterday, he walked over to me and placed his hands on me and I could hear him very quietly praying asking God to heal my back. I can't put into words how beautiful that was to me.
I am happy to say that though my back is not 100%, it does feel soooo much better and I know this is only because of prayer!!
