Bonner's Journal-Day 18. A faith walk

February 1st.  Day 18
 Trying to get her legs to work again
New month. 

Wow!  The month of January was an interesting way to start 2012.

After 18 days we are facing some major life changes and decisions. This is a balance between recognizing the symptoms of a spinal cord injury that naturally occur, and the word of our God promising full recovery. We are expecting each day to be a day of drastic healing,  yet also determined to get the promise no matter how long it may take. 
We are trusting God to lift the burden off of our family.


Our Bible faith is being tested.
I realize that we do not pray to get our faith in God to work...but it is the exact opposite. Our faith in God causes our prayer to work.

What does God-like faith look like when your wife is trying to come out of being paralyzed?

God-like faith EXPECTS.
I expect her to gain strength...because God has promises that include strength for those who believe.
I expect her to gain balance....because God has promises that He will secure our steps.
I expect our marriage to grow closer...because God has promised that two in agreement can accomplish anything.
On and on, in every single area of our life...we continue to expect, because God has given His promises that we apply to every area of need in our life. Pick the problem, God has already provided a way to overcome it...and His name is Jesus!


We have faith in the name of Jesus.
We have faith in the blood that Jesus spilled.
We have faith in the words that Jesus spoke.....therefore we have EXPECTATION.
Standing in a box is a safe way to teach her body how to balance again
