It's not always easy but it doesn't pay to spend too much time what-iffing. I hope you can have the bill reduced - I've had friends that were able to do that just by calling and asking, especially about specific items that didn't make sense. Mostly, I'm glad Zoodle's okay and it wasn't something more serious. That's what matters most.Call Me Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15144735845209334875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774778021065181469.post-85263350621922511062011-08-21T09:49:54.742-05:002011-08-21T09:49:54.742-05:00Sorry to hear about Zoodles ER visit.

Don't worry, after my years working for a pediatrician I know you're not the only one this has happened to & I'm sure you won't be the last. I also have the problem of worrying about things that are out of my control (my husband calls me Stressica). Everything you brought up is spot-on. Thanks for the words of wisdom. I needed the reminder. :)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06677380850169253980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774778021065181469.post-27642861007470914652011-08-21T08:41:44.251-05:002011-08-21T08:41:44.251-05:00Beth,

What if this person or that person doesn't show up? What if I get stuck in Africa for a really long time? What if we spent all our savings and our friends' generous donations and the whole thing falls through? <br /><br />It was really eating at what should be a joyful time. This morning when I sat down to pray, I thought, "What is true here?"<br /><br />1. God works all things together for the good of those who love him. [Romans 8:28]<br /><br />2. He sets the lonely in families.[Psalm 68:6]<br /><br />3. He will never leave or forsake us. [Hebrews 13:5]<br /><br />So even if our road does end up being long and hard, I have these basic truths to return to. They do not change, no matter how circumstances might.Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13404826828632906792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774778021065181469.post-83886225978425027312011-08-21T07:58:44.978-05:002011-08-21T07:58:44.978-05:00I'm a worrier, too.

I absolutely understand the freakout. <br /><br />But I agree that we have to focus on knowing that we'll figure it all out when the time comes. We'll make ends meet. And so will you.Norm Deplumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11682712188657600186noreply@blogger.com
