ALWAYS IN AWE...

I am constantly amazed by God and His provisions....

As the new year began, my husband also started a new job which we are so grateful for...but with a new job comes new health insurance and we are beginning to find that it's not as good as what we had with his old company. When you have a child like Ragen, money can fly out the door VERY QUICKLY when it comes to medical care. But...I'm thankful that we at least HAVE insurance! Anyway, trying to meet our deductible and other bills are piling up out of no where. We are also having to provide some outside therapy services that will be out of pocket...and if you are a mommy to a child with special needs, we all know that therapy is very expensive, but our children need it and it's not an option to not have it. She gets it through her school, but it's not nearly enough nor do they offer they type of therapy that Ragen needs. All of these financial obstacles are adding up...FAST! On top of it all, our hard drive for my husband's computer crashed a couple weeks ago. That hard drive had our life on it....adoption paperwork, videos of Ragen, photos, and Rob's old business contacts from his last job that he was going to need for his current job...so we were in a panic. Now if you have never had your hard drive crash, let me just tell you that you can buy a PC for the amount of money it costs to repair it. But we had to have it fixed, we had no choice. I know how faithful our Lord has been to us (my last post is a great reminder), but the controlling human side of me still gets anxious and nervous when things like this happen, especially when it seems it happens all at once. We have been praying for God's provisions with regards to all these financial issues, I even asked my Facebook friends to pray too. And wouldn't you know it, God comes through again! First we recently found out that our mortgage was going to go down by $200 per month because our mortgage company was charging us too much for our property tax escrow. THEN just today, Rob was going through our mail. We got a check from Chase (our bank that holds our mortgage) and it was a refund check (we were paying too much for our property tax escrow) for almost the exact (a little over) the amount that we had to spend to fix our hard drive. I was in tears once again at the awesomeness of this GREAT GOD I SERVE! No matter how much I try to serve Him by serving others, he one ups me! He always gives more to me than I give to Him!! ALWAYS! This is just another reminder that we should ALWAYS give, even if you think you don't have it, He will provide, He will give back tenfold....GOD IS SO GOOD!!!!
