Oh So Important To Me

I am working on my Mary Jane Badges, as I am sure some of my fellow Farm Girl Friends are.

One of the ones I am currently working on is in the Each Other section ….#9 Farmgirl  Gratitude.

I guess, to be honest I held off on this one because in my stressed out busy life, I sometimes forget to slow down and say thank you to the one person who deserves the true thanks.  The one who brings it all together and makes it all work.

My husband and I do a nightly devotion with our children, hoping and praying that they make the right choices in life.

That they will be thankful—-grateful for what their heavenly father has given them and done for them.

Today I had a BIG reminder of how God puts everyone in the right place at the right time.  It is a snow ball thing and I am not even sure if I could relay the chain if I tried.

But I have a wonderful son, who is very talented in Art( God blessed him) but God also gave him a thorn. He is Bi-Polar and has a mild case of Aspergers . I recognized a problem early on because of the house hold I grew up in.  My husbands employer for some “unknown” reason switched insurance on us forcing us to seek out a new Dr.  which led us to the only Ped. Dr. available on the plan (Dr. Gesn.).  She sent us to have Andrew tested by a Dr. Frye who turned out to be one of my clients new husband.  He was very kind and patient with Andrew.  Both Dr. Frye and Dr. Gesn knew and recommended Dr. Wuttke who is a leader in the field for child hood Bi/p, adhd, odd, asp. but that it would be hard to get an appt.  So I prayed and then I called.  We saw him the next week and he accepted Andrew as a pat.   That was 8 years ago.  He has had wonderful success in regulating Andrews meds. and he has a wonderful relationship with Andrew and us as parents.  The drug companies have been  another story.

Chris went to work for Entergy 5 years ago and so came a new insurance.   They refused to cover name brand for one of Andrew’s meds.   Problem is….the generic does not work. Out of pocket is $800.00 a month.  But God sent us to the Dr. and group who did the actual study on the drug and had documented proof so Dr. Wuttke was able to get it approved for coverage straight away.

Now my husband has gone to work for Nalco (big blessing from God)  New insurance doesn’t want to cover med.  In steps Dr. Wuttke.  I just got a call from their office they were approved in 2 days time.  Yeah !!!!!! Because the med. has gone up in price to 1150.00 a month out of pocket.

Next miracle …….Andrew often questions how God is going to use this (thing)  he has been asked to bare.  He can get really down sometimes.   I get down for him sometimes too.  It is a hard road to walk.  He is scared to start relationships.  Only this year (his senior year) has he even reached out to form a friendship and it is with a kid who is in a similar situation.

But there is a lady at church, I don’t even know her,  we go to a fairly large church in the city, who came up to me a few months ago and wanted to know if she could speak with Andrew.  She said that she had been watching him at church and praying for him and didn’t know why.  That she just couldn’t get him off of her mind.  She would like to talk to him and then talk to us afterwards.

Since then she has spoken to Andrew several times and written him several  notes of encouragement.  She spoke with Chris and I last Sunday and said that she spends a great deal of time praying for Andrew and she isn’t sure why just that she knows it is something she has been called to do.  That she knows he meant for something important.

Thank you God for special people being in the right place at the right time.
