So I had titled the slideshow on here “My Angie.” Aimee apparently came in and changed it. I guess I have to share my Angie, huh?
God gave me something today. I pictured our family in a raft heading down a river. Up ahead we can see rough water. Our instinct would tell us that we need to be fearful and hang on tight. God is telling us, “Don’t be afraid. I am here and even if you did somersaults in that raft, I will not let you fall.” That is the peace that we have been experiencing. We know that we are in for a long, rough trip, but we know our God is in control. Psalms 139:17-18 says that God’s thoughts towards us are more in number than the sand. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” One of my favorite verses that I think is such an awesome picture of the protection we have in God is Psalm 46:1-3 “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea, though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling.”
Someone commented on one of these posts that they too had issues with in and out of network facilities in AZ. Her husband appealed to 2 different insurance providers and they paid the claims for the AZ facilities as in-network. That would be HUGE for us. I am going to contact my insurance company and appeal Tucson as being out-of-network. Thank you, Steph. I didn’t even know that was a possibility.
OK so today is payday, which means I have my hands full with paying bills and shopping. God bless each and every one of you.
-Mel.

LOL. I was waiting to see if you noticed. You can change it back, if you want it to say "My". But you do have to share her. Please. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat great verses. I need to look those up myself.

Melissa,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say you are so grounded!
Don't take this the wrong way....remember my perspective is from when you and I were teenagers.
You are so mature and responsible, not that I thought you would turn out any different. I guess I really had no idea because we lost track of each other.
I am really proud of you from the small glimpses you give here. You are a really good mama and so strong.
I am so glad to be getting to know you again.
