HE HAS IT COVERED...



This week was a doozie friends!
Whoa boy.

There were times during this week I just had to call out to Jesus and say, 'how much more lord?'

I had to have some pretty significant, pretty serious medical tests done this last week and a half, and there was a chance, actually a pretty good chance, that the out come wasn't going to be a good one.

Besides the fact that I had to go 36 hours without food this week, and drink 4 liters of the worst tasting drink I had ever drank, I also had to deal with my emotions, of what if...

Most of the time the 'what ifs' in life get us, don't they???
The theme running through me this whole week, as I dealt with these tests, and the unknown, feeling terrible health wise, dealing with a very sick almost 8 year old, a struggling shop, and a hard work situation for my hubby, was the word TRUST.

God was asking me to TRUST that HE had me covered.
So, I did.
This advice I had been given once a long time ago kept repeating over, and over in my head all week long, and it kept me calm and still.

The advice was this: When we worry, and take our burdens on to ourselves, we are telling God to his face that we don't TRUST him.

I went forward into my week with blind TRUST that HE had me covered...
and HE DID!

I got my test results back, and every single bad possibility has been ruled out.

HE HAD ME COVERED...

Bella is feeling better, and was so well taken care of by my Mom and Matt when I couldn't be the mama I would have liked to have been while she was sick.

HE HAD ME COVERED...

After a very slow last two weeks at the store, he provided an amazing sales day yesterday that perfectly covered the exact amount we needed to pay our large payments/bills that were due.

HE HAD IT COVERED...

Matt has some change on the horizon.
Whatever it brings, it will be GREAT.

HE HAS IT COVERED...

If we walk through life, TRUSTING that HE HAS US COVERED, think of all the worry we would save ourselves...
He has a plan for our lives.
He just wants us to trust HIM.

HE HAS YOU COVERED TOO...trust him!

Thank you for this Mandy. Sometimes it very easy to forget when it feels like the whole world is ending. I hope HE has me covered too. Love you and I'm happy to hear all your tests came back with good results!! Xoxo - Cristy

Oh, it's so true. We really don't know how well or even if we trust until it is tested. Thank you God for the tests... that we may build our trust in you.
