Praying! Is this God's Will??

Good afternoon, I am mostly a lurker.. I am a strong believer, and prayed about my decision to contact a surgeon before doing so. I feel that the devil is poking his evil head in telling me that the reason things are being dalayed is because it's not God's Will. I know that this will sound very petty to many of you, however I feel the need to get it off my chest.. I went to the Dr on Thursday Sept 16th.. I was told then that my medical records would be transcribed and faxed out by Monday the 20th. I was Very excited.. I called on Tuesday the 22nd and Anthem still had no record of a request. I then called the surgeons office back, she said that she promised she would have them faxed by Friday the 24th! well Today Monday Sept 27th, I called Anthem, and still nothing !! I called the surgeons office back, and spoke to a much nicer lady. She checked with the referral coordinator, and she said she still had not faxed them, For me to be patient that that she hoped to have them out by Friday october 1st !!! I have been very down today! I thought for sure that I would know something by now. I mean at my consult she said that Anthem was the easiest to get an approval from. That all she will have to do is fax them and they will giver her an Authorization number..... I am sweating a little about all of this. See my insurance will not cover this after Dec 31st 2004.. So here it is knocking on October, and I need to have this done and over with in under 100 days or it's not gonna happen... whew that was a mouthful !!! Please just say a prayer that God will show me some patience, and show me that this is his will.. And if it's not his will, then explain that to me.. I know he is probably trying to teach me something here, just not sure what it is yet !! Hugs Kim

Hi Kim, Im so happy you came out of the lurking mode. I was in that mode for a long time before posting. That ugly devil sure has a way with messing with our mind doesn't he. But come here for support and we will pray for you and the Lord will lift you up. I've always wonder why so many people (me included) have to wait so long for each little detail to happen in this process. I was constantly having to call them and they would say" oh no it's been sent off." Wait, then call back, "oh we forgot this or that." It seemed like it was never going to happen. What I realized afterwards and not before that it was God's will for me to have it. I had many doubts when ever the paper work or any little thing didn't happen on my time table. I tried to tell my self that maybe this was a no from God. But in the end it was a lie from the enemy. Keep your eyes focused on the Lord( it sounds like your already doing that) and he will continue to direct your path. To even have a doctor that is willing to do it before December is over sounds like a blessing from the Lord. Continue to come here for support and prayer. It was nice meeting you. Geri

Also try to remember that we usually go through a lot of trial and tribulations when our blessings are right around the corner.....kinda like waiting on a suprise Also, remember God's timing isn't always ours. I have had many blessings come through when I think it is last minuteBut God's perfect timing it is! Continue to trust in him, maybe say a prayer asking God's forgiveness for not totally trusting in him and that you lay this at the feet of the cross and give over complete control to him. I find when I am going through the most struggles and I do this,,,,,the turn around is not far behind Blessings, and a tender HUG in Christ, Katie Thank You Jesus, Praise YOu!!!!! Thank you for the knowledge that this to you have a plan in
