Lord's Provision

I'm not the type to share my feelings much, but I feel as if this is worth proclaiming. For the past few months, since January, I have had some "mild" health problems. It seems like a lot because it has all been back to back to back. In the colder months for about three years now, I get heavy chest pain. I have been to my primary Doctors over the years and they can't seem to find any visible problems. It will last for a week or so then go away. At the beginning of January it happened, so I went once again to the Dr. who then sent me to a heart specialist and a lung specialist. After cat scans, breathing tests, ekgs, the diagnosis resounds, we cant seem to find anything. And praise the Lord, there is nothing seriously wrong, but all I could seem to feel was anger. All the money we were about to spend in medical bills for them to say they cant find something when obviously, im in pain. We have been very blessed over our married lives with our finances. We have never been in the negative. The Lord has just reminded us over and over in our lives of his provision and so often we just soon forget it after the hype is over. A few months later I went back to the Dr. this time for my arm. I thought I had just slept on it wrong and I would complain about it all the time. Im sure it was driving Jonathan crazy so I went. Long story short, My shoulder joint was popping in and out of place causing pain down my arm. What? I have no idea how it happened. So i was sent to a Sports Medicine Dr. where I had an Xray and an injection of some sort (very painful) and I start therapy next week. Once again, super terrified of the bills. Now, last one, yesterday I went to the walmart walk in clinic to discover I have a bladder infection. geez. So, let me just sum all that up... we will be paying medical bill debt till were homeless! FALSE! Let me just show you what happened...

Heart Specialist: $8
Lung Specialist and all the tests: $12
Bladder Medicines: $4 a piece
Cat scan: $21 (thought it would be thousands)

We haven't received bills from Sports Medicine, but I don't think i should be to worried. :) In Kroger as the Pharmacist was ringing up my prescription I was just holding my breath. $4 she said. I was shocked, she was too, she said that doesn't happen that often, but we only have to pay $4 for ANY prescription at Kroger. What? I walked away and began to tear up. Thank you Lord. {Matthew 6:26-27}. Who do I think I am worrying about money. Was I not created by the God of the Universe who cares for me and loves me. {Psalms 8:3-4}The Lord has ALWAYS provided. Sometimes Jonathan and I kid about me being faulty and breaking all the time. Well I do most of the kidding. But I know I am beautifully and wonderfully made.
