Just last night, Conor and I prayed together and asked the Lord to help us trust His plan as we wait on Him, especially as it relates to our health insurance. We have health insurance, so I realize that makes us very fortunate, as Conor is working two part-time jobs (both of which he loves and it is very evident that this is where the Lord has him right now). However, we're paying for our own health insurance out of pocket. I'm sure you can imagine, it's very expensive when you have two family members with a degenerative disease. Like almost a mortgage payment expensive.
We're grateful to have it, but it's certainly not ideal and hopefully not a long-term plan.
Today a letter arrived. Conor has to get his health insurance separately from the rest of us and as a rule it's double an average premium for someone his age. Well, the letter explained they are going to offer a subsidy which will reduce our premium for Conor's insurance by up to 50%.
The very next day. Should I be surprised? Obviously, our health costs will still be expensive even with Conor's premium cut in half, but I feel like it was the Lord's little way of saying
"I've got this. Relax. I'm taking care of you in little and big ways. Just keep trusting Me. I'm worthy of your trust."
My manna for the day.
He is so good to us. So so good.
Amen! He is amazing! He's creative, He's perfect, and He's always got the perfect solution:) We had a situation a few months back where we were needing some things, but struggling to make ends meet. I was actually crying in church because I felt overwhelmed and Monday morning our health insurance was reduced in a similar way.
ReplyDeleteSamuel has knee surgery tomorrow and he'll be unable to drive for a month. He works 45 minutes away. He can work from home a couple of days, but he needs to be at the office some too. I couldn't imagine taking 5 kids up to NJ early every morning and then going back to pick him up in the afternoon. It would be like 3 hours in the car everyday with a 2 1/2 month old baby. So today, Samuel finds someone at work who is going to pick him up right at our doorstep two days a week!! God's just in time - as always:)
