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.

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)

What a relief that the price was not $500 after all! Our Father truly does own the cattle on a thousand hills, and He will provide for all the medical bills. I need that reminder often as well, but I have never known the Lord to fail me financially. He always provides.
ReplyDeleteBless your heart sweet friend. God will supply all your needs.
ReplyDeleteI have just read this post and realise that although there are shortcomings in our NHS in the UK at least I don't have to worry about finding extra money.
ReplyDelete( I must have cost them hundreds of thousands of pounds over the years and I often wonder if it was money well spent - I suppose I am a guilty survivor, wondering if my life was worthy enough to be saved)
I pray that everything will sort itself out for you financially - things often work out in strange and mysterious ways. X
