Great peace overcomes me today

I just wanted to share how God has been working in my life this last week. It didnt all pull together until today. I found out how much my brother does love me yesterday... I was worrying about the money for surgery and he kind of got angry with me and told me to quite worrying about the money and get the surgery. He said money is nothing because we are talking about your life here. Later I talked to my mother on the phone and told her that I was going to have to pay for surgery before getting it. She informed me that she was going to pay for the whole surgery and would worry about getting reimbursed by the insurance company later. God does work in mysterious ways doesn't He? Wonderful Catharine a lady from our church has been sending me cards of encouragement all week. Somehow they end up hitting the mail the days that I most need it. Yesterday when I went to support group beautiful, Nan, stayed a little over an hour afterwards to talk with just my husband and me. I really needed this. She is a sister in God, and a great encouragement. Friday I was feeling like I had been abandoned by God and the man (Henry) who sold us our extended warranty on our car emailed me with this message... Be encouraged. The Lord your God is with you. He promised to never leave us nor forsake us. He promised to be with us in the time of trouble. David said, in the time of trouble. I will trust in you. "Trust him" He loves you. Henry had no idea what I was going through at that very moment, yet God worked through him to remind me of HIS eternal love for each and every one of us. God is so great! I can now see how much He is and has been working in my life. Only He has made it possible for things to come together as they should.

wow hun i'm so happy for you ....God does work in mysterious ways . god bless and good luck ..Brenda in tx

Way to go Jennifer! Isn't it an amazing gift when God's timetable matches ours so well. I don't know about you but I get really anxious and antsy when I ask for something and the answer isn't immediate and answered to my "wants it right now"s and thank you very much self. God does have our number though and His best for us is always in His best for us timeframe. Thank you for sharing this answered prayer. Carol

Jennifer, I am home and post-op 3 days. Read your note and saw that you have to pay up front. Well, that's what I had to do (but it was due to an exclusion in my policy) and will not be getting reimbursed. We're not wealthy by any means, but we took out a home equity loan and will be paying it off over 5 years. My husband freaked at the thought of things, but as time passed, realized that my health was more important. I had made my peace with the decision to have surgery. I was almost too calm as the days neared. My relatives were not on board with my decision. But I did my research and talked to past patients and "shopped around" for who I felt was the best doctor in my area. I still was a little nervous about going under anesthesia because I never had surgery in my life. Although I'm not terribly religious, I contacted my parish priest, and his response really put me at ease. I know I made the right choice for me and look forward to the future. I know it will keep getting brighter! Good luck and may angels keep you safe!

As my grandmother always say "He might don't come when you want him to but he is always on time" God is so awesome and yes you are right God can work through anybody. Sometimes he works through the least likely so you will know that he is still working it out on your behalf. I was just sitting here I was a little worried hoping my labs come back fine. I have one week left before my surgery my mind started to wonder about my labs because I took the test last Thursday and I don't want anything wrong with them. I'm so anxious. When I read your post it made me feel alot better. I am excited for you. God Bless You on your big day!!!
