February 22 – “God’s got it covered”

Happy real birthday, George Washington.     One of the students who had to drop out of Seaside Christian Academy because of monetary reasons should be getting an exciting phone call tonight.  An anonymous Seasider has taken on that tuition as a ministry and will continue to pay for the student to finish out this year.  God's got it covered.   Just heard that Seaside needs offerings of around $8,000 this Sunday or payroll gets put off for a week or so.  Oh, well.  Happened before.  Besides, I just got a royalty check from the publisher of my book.  That'll cover $1.79 of it.  God's got it covered.    We took Mom to the doctor this morning.  She got to see the nurse practitioner first, then the doc stopped in on her way to the next "official" patient.  Just as we were getting her out of the car, Mom decided to sit down on the concrete driveway.  She didn't fall.  She just slowly sat down.  And she was able to stand right back up again.  It was weird.  We got her inside fine, but they ended up bringing her a wheelchair.  They did the exam – just the basics – and talked to her for a long time.  The final decision was to have her cut back on one of the medications and to go see her neurologist.  That appointment is officially sometime in May.  But she is on the waiting list for when someone cancels, so it will probably be sooner.  After we got home she slept off and on sitting on the couch all afternoon.  Now the list of those who officially don't know what's going on has grown beyond just me and Chris.  God's got it covered.   Nahum 1:7 says, "The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble.  He cares for those who trust in him"   And Romans 15:13 says, "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."   Father, we trust you.  And we count on your care.  The hope and joy and peace and power are some great icing.  Thanks.  Amen.
