thankful thursday

I am really grateful for the Lord's timing today. It's always interesting to me that so often in my life when I am struggling with something, the desires of my heart are heard. I honestly don't think I've felt more at peace about our lives than I have during the past few weeks. I finally have health insurance, something I haven't had for at least 5 years & this is a huge blessing & couldn't have come at a better time. I was feeling pretty hopeless about not having it & I thankfully was given the opportunity to enroll in a great plan. The stress of not having it has just been completly erased.

We have been blessed beyond measure the past few weeks. The Lord has been aware of us & our needs & has met them. I had some medical testing done a couple of weeks ago, tests I was pretty nervous about & everything came back fine. I don't have any life threatening issues. In fact, with proper medicine I've felt better in the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3+ years! This has truly been a miracle for me. I don't know if I've ever been so aware of how important it is for all the parts & pieces in our bodies to function as they should, & what a difference it can make when they do! Yay!!

I know that the Lord hears us. I know that for me not everything I'm asking about is answered all at once, but I believe the Lord knows when my patience has gone out the window & he knows just what to do to help me calm down!! That may sound odd to most, but that's just how my relationship with Him is!! I am grateful for his tender mercies not just the big ones like I've had recently but for all the little things that occur each & every day to improve my life & the lives of those around me.
