Prayers Answered
I forget from time to time that the Lord likes to answer prayers in a big way, ever think about this in your day to day life? Sometimes I forget that the Lord has great things in store for me and wants to answer our prayers in mighty way, according to His will. Imagine being Mary, the mother of Jesus and waiting for His time to come when everyone on earth would be rescued by His coming only to hear Him say, "My time has not yet come!" Patience waiting for an answer can sometimes take years, months or minutes. I received an answer in a big way this weekend, trusting God for the answer and sure He would supply in His time and in His Way. God as The Way, that is how I have seen Him this week. Tim and I began praying for a way out of the 20,000/month medicine coverage which was depleating out insurance policy down to the bare minimum. We have trusted more now than ever before that He would provide. I was reading a Francine Rivers this week and I remembered that the way He provides for us cannot be predicted but that He will is. The first call I made when I found out the prediciment was to my mentors, both of whom told me, "God is faithful, He will not let you go, He loves you Karen, He will provide". What a blessing. As I trusted in faith and was prepared to let God cover it, I was rewarded with a uncharacteristicly quick answer. Never doubt the way that God loves you and the way He will show it in the refining of your heart! Don't give up praying for the desires of your heart, I was brought to my knees, shaking with the news that the drug company agreed to pick up the bill for the medication since we were almost out of insurance. I was just weeping, thanking God for the answer, it was a moment I will never forget and am grateful to Him for showing me His power in full light. Praise be to God, for He cares for my needs and provides! I have been privledged to know Primary Pulmonary Hypertension and all the scares and ups and downs for it has taught me to trust in the Lord, it has encouraged my faith and I count myself blessed for the ride.

Oh Karen! How awesome and how awesome is our God! What a blessing your story was to me. I battle rheumatoid arthritis and I thought the cost of my monthly medication was astronomical!!! No where close to yours! I have worried before how this was eating away at my coverage limits but I won't any more. You have reminded me God is not limited by insurance coverage limits. He knows us and He cares... what more can you ask for!!
Thank you Karen, I am always reminded how much we must walk in faith to see the power of God revealed in a Glorious Way. My husband has needed this liver transplant for so long, and now UNC has dropped him. To the human eye it looks as if all hope is gone, but, in my heart I know God is still on the throne, and whatever his plan, I wait to see him totally glorified in every way...He is so Awesome...
