Hello friends and family,
As you all know, I have been just a "little" under the weather, ha ha.
It got to the point that Jordan has taken some unpaid time off of work
to provide continuity of care for me so there was no more "I don't know
what is wrong, go to this doctor" and round and round we go.
A week ago
yesterday, Jordan and I were very desperately pleading with the Lord
for two things for each other:
1) That first and foremost Jesus would see fit to heal me and clear up my mind.
2)
That He would provide a way for Jordan to feel the freedom to take time
off if he needed more time without feeling the strain of our bursting
budget. (Which is bursting for several reasons, some bad past decisions
and some medical bills coming out the wazoo quite literally it feels
like!)
3) I prayed VERY SPECIFICALLY that God would send a $30 check in
the mail or SOMETHING like He has done over and over for me in the past
when I have been super anxious and focused on worldly things. (Hence
why I have the last half of Matthew 6 memorized...probably 5 years ago I
listened to a MacArthur two part series on Anxiety...PHENOMENAL but he
illustrated his message with "Jesus probably was walking with the
disciples and at that time the birds were migrating and he could have
said, "Look at the birds of the air" as he pointed to them.) That
visual stuck, so since I heard that message over 5 years ago, by His
grace, every time I am tempted to anxiety my heart goes to "Look at the
birds of the air...He takes care of them, He WILL take care of you.
