never did i think that the possibility of my parents losing their home would be a reality.
yet there i was, trying to figure out how to help them and in the midst of everything my mom's health had taken a toll.
what would happen if my mom couldn't get health care, what would happen if they lost their home?
many mornings on my way to work, i rattled my brain with options that were all faulty and ended in tears of despair. i couldn't understand how or why. but He did.
as I dropped off my kids that summer morning, on their doorstep was a FedEx envelope. i opened it up as best as i could with my heart pounding out of my chest.
they were not going to lose their home.
i couldn't believe it. i was amazed that it happened. it was what we had prayed for, but the papers indicated a bigger blessing financially.
our rationale is faulty. we see the logical, the things that are only available based on the circumstances, the things that we are able to see.
we depend on the possessions, the finances we have at hand.
what I've come to know is that He steps in and uses His mighty hand alone. I've come to understand that when dealing with things that seem to difficult I cannot hold on to the logical, because God acts supernaturally.
Our understanding will never be able to measure His power, His greatness and that's where we should place our trust.
my mom is being treated. we don't know yet what she has, but her Maker does and I will trust in Him and His timing with all my heart.
what have you been trying to figure out on your own? what things can you let go off so He can show you what He has planned?

I am just moved by your words, im not sure how to express exactly how they hit my heart...it's just soo incredible when we get to witness those supernatural bigger than anything of the world things that God does. I pray that the docs will find what is going on with your mom and that full restoration will come to her body in the name of Jesus!

Wow. Your posts are always SO good! I feel so blessed by this! I'm sorry your mom is going through health trials. I know what it feels like to have a parent go through health scares, and it's something that definitely tests your faith. I don't know your mom but God does and I'll be praying for her! Thank you for reminding me to never hold on to the logical! And thank you for linking up! ((big hugs))
What a testimony! It's so important for us to remember as believers that some things are not logical ... and that God is an on time God.
it sure does Becky, but He's been faithful and I see his mercies in everything that's going on. it could be a lot worse. thank you for your encouragement, you are a blessing yourself.
amen. and i love that about God, that He works out of the logical way. if He worked the same way that we think what need would we have for Him. His timing is so ever faithful. thank you so much for reading!
