I'm in tears. These are good tears. I sat down this morning and balanced my checkbook. We have a bit more than I thought we would have, so I am going to buy some groceries tonight. With Jeff being gone over the weekend, I will be making a pot of chili for the boys and I to eat. They don't mind having the same thing night after night. I add 2 cans of beans and tomatoes to the chili each night after we eat out of it, so it really stretches the meat even further.
Back to the tears. After balancing my checkbook, I decided to call on the medical bills that are coming in from my first ER visit. I explained that we were applying for assistance, but wanted them to be aware of the situation and that we were not avoiding payment, we just didn't have the money to pay it. One of them told me to call back when we find out if we were approved or denied for assistance, and we would go from there. One told me that my bill would automatically be sent to a collection agency in 2 weeks. No sign of help or mercy on that one, and that's the biggest bill so far. Then I called on the other bill and was told that I have a zero balance! They forgave the bill. *tears* I'm still in awe of Him!
I would not have gone to the ER if I knew it was just an anxiety attack, but the pain was more than that.. and I worried that if I were having a heart attack and ignored it.. my family would pay the price for my frugality. Now I see how God is taking care of us.. yet again. *tears* We are so undeserving of His love and care. I'm in awe of You Lord!!
Jeff will be leaving tomorrow morning. The enemy is sure working in that arena.. on all of us. I will not give in. The thoughts he is putting in my mind are lies, and I will not entertain them. He has a plan in all of this, and I know that Jeff is simply obeying what God has told him to do, and from that, we will see blessings. I hope to see healed spiritual lives in our friends, and a healed liver in Bill. =) God is able.. amen? AMEN!
