Waiting and trusting on the Lord

Nice boring card today.  I've made

cards similar to this and for

some reason I just do not have

the knack to arrange flowers

so they look nice.  Good thing

I don't work in that field...

I do like the ribbon at the bottom and I

love these flourishes.  They make

a really beautiful touch.  So tiny and

delicate.

So, on to yesterday's fun.  We've

started the medicaid process.  It's 

complicated as all state/government

things have to be.  But both of the women

we worked with yesterday were Christians

and freely told us how they loved the

L0rd and what He has done in their

lives.  Unsolicited, I might add, so that

was even more awesome.  They were

not afraid to share that, not necessarily

knowing that we knew the Lord as well.

The first  woman (Kandy) set up the 

appointment next week to have mom evaluated 

by both a nurse and social worker.  After 

that we need to get our ducks in a row and

quickly get all the financial documents

faxed to the second woman, (Becky) who will begin

processing all the paperwork.  I said something

about IF she got approved and she said, "no,

WHEN she gets approved".  Kandy said

that the fiscal year slots were filled and

the year didn't end until October.  Becky said

they would see about that and that she WAS

going to get this put through.  They were

both very compassionate and had positive

attitudes toward all of this.  It makes

it easier to go through it when you have

people who really care helping you.

My mom feels like she is being attacked

and I wonder if Satan uses minds that

are breaking down to spiritually attack.

I told her I read the end of the book and

we win!  She smiled and said, "hey, that's

right!"  I've printed out Eph. 6:10-15 about

putting on the armour of God and will take it

to her next time I go.  I don't know if this

is just in her mind or if it is real.  What I

do know is that she belongs to God and

I'm trusting that He's got this.  It's very

hard to watch her like this.  She's quite

intelligent and knows that much of 

what she says is probably not real

but still is unable to always distinguish

between reality and her mind's betrayal.

I continue to trust the Lord with

 this because I know He loves us

all so much!

Happy Thursday!
