Blessed beyond words!

Not a day goes by that I am not blown away by God's provision!! The kids and I traveled 2500 miles during our vacation and the car ran great and just turned over 200,000 miles!! Only traveling set-back was a flat tire. The fact that we were kept so safe from accidents is also a huge praise! Gas prices were exhorbitant (about $4.29 in Michigan) but we had the money set aside in savings thanks to the IRS! (HA!HA!) Work was done on our house while we were gone that we never could have afforded. Work is still going to be done that is necessary for our health and safety and again it's all been provided for. There's been literally thousands, probably millions, of other things that God has taken care of for us but the incident that prompted this post came in the mail a few days ago. I have an OBGYN bill that I've paid a very small amount towards and I've been putting off making larger payments because I've been watching our very high insurance deductible slowly being met! I called the insurance company today to verify that in fact, we have $127 until our big deductible is met and after that, everything is covered 100% including hospitalization!! That means baby Drayton's prenatal care and delivery will not come out of our pockets. Can I just tell you that I complained like you wouldn't believe when the insurance changed to this high deductible? I, needless-to-say, have been very humbled by what a blessing it has turned out to be. There's a lot more detail to the whole story but what is also evident is that we never would have reached this amount if it weren't for Coleman's need for therapy and regular checks of her thyroid, heart and hearing. (Medicaid is her secondary insurance so all the bills go first to our insurance and then to Medicaid which is what helped us meet the deductible without it being a hardship on us.) More and more chapters keep getting added to the book God wants me to write! I've spent the second half of this day praising God and crying over his abundant provision!!
