8 hrs. in ER, 3 hrs of sleep later...

Last night my precious husband had to go to the ER because of the medical conditions last night. 8 hours, 2 doctors, and 6 nurses later we still don't have an answer or solution... is it frustrating? Absolutely.

The comforting thing to be is that my God is bigger than all of this. He already knows the outcome and the timeline for everything. What a breath of fresh air that all I must do is trust His timing and love Travis through everything.

It's so wonderful when the Lord sends his comforting veil down on us. Theres so many different perspectives you can take on our situation. However, I choose to be optimistic! The Lord has entirely shown his favor on us. You see if he got sick back in January, when he worked in sales and we had medical insurance, yes we would have been insured but there is no way he could have worked. It would have been weeks that he would have to take off and chances are I'm not sure they would keep him around with that amount of absences. Lets say he got sick while we were still in Texas and Trav was working in the plants (80+ hours a week). Well he DEFINITELY would not have been able to work and we didn't have health insurance. Now were in NY for the summer and I'm the only one working. He has plenty of time to rest and get rejuvinated AND the Lord blessed us mightily with charity care insurance. All of his procedures and doctors visits are 100% covered, it makes me want to ball just thinking about how blessed we are.

The verse the Lord has been comforting me with is: Psalm 84:11-12... it is amazing!

11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
the LORD bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold
from those whose walk is blameless.

12 O LORD Almighty,
blessed is the man who trusts in you

And so the plans of us moving to the DR are postponed a little... just until we get trav back to perfect health again.

Please pray for my baby :)
