God is Still In Control

Yes- this post was originally titled "A little disappointed" but Praise God the title changed:

Is feeling agitated and disappointed. The cancer "adventure" has been expensive on us. I have hated to put so much more strain on our household already.

Remember when I had genetic testing done? Well I was told that if my part of the bill was over $100. I would get a phone call from the lab and they would let me know how much it would cost and then I would be able to decide if I wanted to have the test done or not. Well I never got a phone call which made me think that my bill would be under $100. At least you would think- wouldn't you? Well I just found out that our part will be over $500. We already have a lot of other medical bills that we are working on paying and it is frustrating to me to now have this big bill on us - that was not a necessity at all. Had I known it would cost this much I would have said NO. No hesitation at all. Now I regret even having this test done. And I regret giving the lab permission to use my blood in their studies. And not only did I find out our bill was ALOT more than I thought it would be. They submitted the bill March 5th- more than a month before I got results back...

I am trying to reconcile something in my thinking right now. This morning I read part of a great small book - that was talking about Romans 8:28

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.   

 

So now I am wondering how- having even more of a financial strain on my family is a good thing. I have been trying to have faith that God is working on making this whole cancer "adventure" a good thing.

Anyway just feeling discouraged right now. Just feel that the bills are piling up a little too much. Already had a couple of tags for our vehicles due. And the Dr bills on top of that. And just feeling a little overwhelmed. I am trying to trust that God has everything under control - cause I sure don't.

I'll be praying for a miracle - for God to supply the money needed to pay these bills.

Edited to add :
I talked to the lady at the genetic testing place and it looks like our part will be the $100. instead of the $500. I am Praising God. That $100 is still a lot on top of our other medical bills coming in and the other stuff- but God is still in control and He continually takes care of us. So I am trusting that He will provide the money needed to pay these bills.

The booklet that I was reading today - All things work together- not some things - but ALL things. I am going to continue to trust God to work all of this out. He can and will work it out how He wants it to work out. :o)
