The Power of Prayer

So many of you have told me how you would pray for our family and it WORKED! I know I wasn't very informative about this whole situation, so here's the scoop.Ryan went for a physical in December and his blood work came back abnormal. We went to several different doctors and ended up at an Oncologist, to me Oncologist =Cancer=Death, because of my experience with it and my Dad. Well, they did a lot of studies on his blood and he has a very rare blood disorder, it's fine though, no treatment needed. We follow-up in 3 months, while they do more studies (they take 3 months), but the doctor said, it looks very good and he can lead a normal life.

The last couple weeks have been incredibly hard for me. I pictured life taking care of Ryan and slowly losing Ryan and then my life with out Ryan. I became especially close to God through this time. Since losing my Dad I kinda had a relationship with God that was up and down. I now realise God put situations in out lives to bring us closer to him. He does not want us to feel pain but to find strength in ourselves because we have Him. I will never be the same again. This small, yet VERY big situation, totally changed me, my relationship with God and my relationship with Ryan. Me and Ryan have always had very good marriage, but this really put God in our marriage. He now is and will forever be the Center of our marriage.

I really want to thank everyone for the prayers and concern. Me and Ryan have some Great friends and family.

Now, I need to go take care of Ryan, he went to the doctor yesterday and has been hit by this horrible flu! But after all we have been through, I can deal with anything. Bring it on flu!
