As we tried to accept the News from that Phone Call, we couldn't help but ask this Question.....Why? Why was Philip not offered a Job with this New Company? There has to be a reason and It just made No sense at all to us!
His last day, January 31, 2012, at work was very hard for him. Can you imagine, giving 35 years of your life to a company and now feeling like they could care less about what happened to you and your family? It was such a Painful & Sad time. So much so, that at the End of his last day, he walked in the door and looked at me with his Eyes filled with Tears. It just broke my heart to see him like this.
We felt like that our Lives were being turned upside down! Anxiety and Fear were both raising their Ugly Heads. Some of those "What If" questions were really coming True! No Job and No Insurance. Just the thoughts of having No Insurance was very Scary when you have Health conditions like I do. Without Insurance, my Heart Medicines alone will be over $300 and I HAVE to have these! I tried to remember that at least I had gone to my Specialists recently and we had both gone to the Eye Doctor, etc. I had also just gotten a 3 months supply of my heart meds, so for now it should be Okay. Let's Not look too far ahead, I thought. But sometimes that is Easier said than done!
Along with all the Fear and Anxiety there was one Question that kept coming to our minds more than any other, "Why was God allowing this to happen to Us"?
Suddenly Scriptures began to flood our Minds and Hearts. These are the Scriptures the Lord gave to us:
~ Romans 8:28~ And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His Purpose.
~Proverbs 3:5-6~ Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and he shall direct thy paths.
~Philippians 4:19~ But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
~Psalm 46:10~ Be Still, and Know that I am God
What a Peace that came over us from God's Word! He may not have given us the answer to our Why Questions, but He gave us just what we needed, at the time we needed it the Most! He gave us Comfort & Assurance that He would work Everything out for us according to His will. He would take care of us. We just needed to Trust Him!
So this was only the Beginning of our Learning to Trust Him when we really didn't Understand.
