simply, Trust

It seems to be a vicious cycle. Trust, money, trust, health, money, trust, health. You get the picture. Funny how the key word seems to be trust, but it's easier to focus on the other two.

Money.

We've always, always struggled in this area. Our professions just don't produce the 'big' money. I've always been okay with mine because I love(d) what I do. But Roy has some struggles times because he pretty much feels it's nothing more than just a job. We've made decisions along the way for me to not bring in the money and have 'created' bigger struggles. But glorifying God was priority in all that. He always provided even when there was no trust.

Health.

Oh boy. We've been scared and then WE'VE BEEN SCARED! I've come to the conclusion when you are in a 'health' situation, you can either claim God or just go stir crazy with fear. He truly does hold us. Trusting is such an easy complicated thing for our hearts to do. We need to let go to hold on.

Now when you entangle money and health, that's where pure chaos can erupt. What do you do when you have to choose between life or bad credit? Medicine or rent? Continued medical or food? This is where we are. And the conclusion I have come to is...

Trust.

There is no other way. We can try and hold it all together. We can attempt to seem in control. But in all reality, we hold nothing and have no control of these circumstances. God holds my 'health' (and all that this encompasses) and He is the only One who knows the ways we will pay for each bill, medicine & necessities.

Money really is the 'root of all evil'. Health is surely an uncertainty for even the most wealthy. But trust is for the taking to all who will hand over the other two to the One who conquered the creator of evil and thief of our 'strength'.

Money & Health = opportunity to be absorb by His riches and wholeness...simply, Trust
