Uninsured? Not necessarily.

Last Friday we recieved the message that Jason's job would be making some financial cuts right now, due to the economy and the slow business in winter. The cut actually consisted of his company dropping the dependants from his insurance, meaning that Drew and I would no longer have Jason's insurance, though Jason, himself, would still have it. Now I should be done with school in three months, and most nursing jobs only require you to work thirty hours a week to have benefits. So either I will carry Drew and I, or Jason's job may quite possibly reinstate the benefits as business picks up this Spring. However, in the meantime we have to try to find a new plan for Drew and myself, and pay out of pocket for it. This seemed like such a scary idea- trying to find new insurance, or possibly going several months with no coverage. At first I was quite disheartened to hear this news, and felt like it was another of many hurdles we have had over the last year, since I've been in school full time. It was not long, though, before a peace came over me, and I realized that I already have full coverage insurance, which I have had all along. My Yahweh, my King, and my Father- has covered me. All the things that are to come, selling our house, finding a new one, getting the right job, illnesses, and finances- He has already covered all of them. Though I don't understand everything that He does or does not do, I know that my God is trustworthy, so to worry is in vain. I have the best kind of insurance, and it has been proven, time and time again, as He always takes care of us. I just have to keep reminding myself of the truth! :) If He cares for and feeds the smallest of things, the flowers, the fish, and the birds, then I have the promise that He will care for me, too!

Chatterbox

My mom thinks he's gettting me back for talking her head off from the day I was born, and she's probably right. He apparently did inherit at least a few things from me...and here are some of the many things Drew is saying these days:
Da-da
Mom-mom
Cat
Truck
Dog
Bubba
Stars
Pretty
Brayden
Manda
Pap
Pop
Ba-ba
Wow
Uh-uh (which means no)
Poppy
Boots
Ball
Brush
Mmmmm (when you give him a cookie)
Zues
Bye
Baby
Cow
Boat
and finally, "Bye Da-da" (our favorite, and his first sentence) :)
He will also imitate other things you say, so watch out! He is such a big boy, with a big vocabulary, and we are so proud of him.
