Health Insurance, pt.3

*** We have health insurance ***

Woo-hoo. I won't go into all the gory details, but it seems that we were able to qualify for a different insurance program that was still through the state, but we pay a small (very small compared to the private insurance) premium. When I talked with the lady yesterday, and she told me that we could qualify, I almost started crying! I wanted to give her a big hug and some flowers. Wow, I'm just glad that is over. But what I am really sad about is that as soon as I found out, I could feel a huge burden lifting. As if an elephant was riding on my shoulders and then poof..it was gone! Just like that! What makes me sad, is that as soon as my circumstances changed, my anxiety left. I wish that I could be like Habakkuk when he comes to terms with the fact that his people were going to be taken away into exile. He said:

"Though the fig tree should not blossom, And there be no fruit on the vines, though the yield of the olive should fail, and the fields produce no food, though the flock should be cut off from the fold, and there be no cattle in the stalls, Yet I will rejoice in the God of my salvation." Habakkuk 3:17-18

I would love to one day be able to rejoice even when the circumstance are bad or never change. Maybe when I get to heaven :) But for now, I will rest in Christ and enjoy my light shoulders.
