Phil 4:19And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
What a crazy week this has been. So many things are going on in this journey that we can't even share them all. I have been worrying alot about finances lately. We took a step of faith and mailed in Anjies resignation letter this week. We have no idea what this means or how long she will be out of work. We just know that Levi needs her right now. I also have been worrying about Levi's future medical bills. He will undoubtedly need extra help in certain areas. We have no idea how much help though. I dont know why I am worrying as if I have any control over it. We must believe God will provide for all of our families needs. The crazy thing is at the same time that I am worrying about finances God is laying it on people's hearts to give to us. Instead of believing God and trusting him through his provision so far I just kept worrying. We were struck tonight by a gift we received in the mail. Not that any of them were any less appreciated. This one just struck us because of the words that came with it. It came in an envelope with no return address and no real markings to tell who it came from. On a post it note on the check were the very simple but profound words "To God be the Glory". That just blew us away. Its amazing that whoever gave us this whether it be a person or group of people want no recognition in return. Its not just that though it's the idea itself that we may have let slip. To God be the Glory! Its not about Levi or us or the blog at all. Its about God's glory shining through all of this. He is in control and He is trying His best to get us to believe Him. He is going to provide so we owe it to Him to lay down those financial worrys. Thank you so much to all of you have given out of obedience. You are a huge blessing to us. You are servants of God and he will surely bless you in return.
Levi is still recovering from the eye surgery. His eyes are swollen and he is not fully aware of his surroundings yet. Hopefully he will wake more over night and get back on nasal cannula tomorrow. I will make sure to get some pictures up soon. Levi will have his follow up eye exam next Wed. Hopefully it will show improvement so we can hit the road to UNC. His head is still growing a little too fast so we really need to get up there and get that checked out. Please pray for his head to clear and his eyes to improve from the surgery.
Trent that was so sweet in what you wrote,I can truly feel you meant it to the bottom of you heart.Just receive it.Its what God is sending you and Anjie for being so faithful.God word is true and it doesn't go back void .If he did not love you so much,this would have been over long time ago. Psalms 36,7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness,O God!therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.8,They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house ;and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.9,For with thee is the fountain of life :in thy light shall we see light .10, O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart 11, Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.12 there are the workers of iniquity fallen:they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
ReplyDeleteLook into the FMLA, Family Medical Leave Act (if you haven't already)...it guarantees your health insurance can't be canceled for a year even if you are unable to work at the job supplying the health benefits! Oh, and be sure you get Levi, if you haven't already, signed up for Disability. It's not much but it does help and he qualifies.
