He Hears My Cries

Written on June 19, 2012...


I'm getting ready for Logan's dentist appointment today.  All I can think about is how we need to get Michael's passport done....like yesterday!  And I'm not really sure how to even pray about this. We have some money in savings but it's not much and what is in there is our "safety net."  We've had to pull from it a little lately and don't have extra to add to it from this pay check so we feel like we need to leave it alone. Because we do have a little, I don't know if I should pray that we'll get some money from somewhere to pay for the passport or pray that we'll have the faith to do what we need to do and TRUST that You will provide for any needs that come up.


5:45 pm...Well, on the way to the dentist we stopped by the post office and I have to admit that I prayed that there would be some money from somewhere in that mailbox but...there wasn't.  So the rest of the way into Longview I prayed silently "that it would be great if the dentist didn't cost as much as they had said it was supposed to."
We get to the dentist and after he had worked on Logan's tooth for a little bit he told me that the filling he was fixing ended up being bigger than he'd expected so he needed to do a crown but he wasn't going to charge us for it. Ok cool!  So we're still looking at $140.  He gets done and we go to the checkout counter and the girl at the desk says, "You are with Logan Simmons, right?"  I told her yes and she proceeds to tell me that the dentist was only charging us what the insurance was going to pay!!  "What???  So, I don't owe ANYTHING today?"  No maam!  
Oh my gosh, God heard my cry and He answered my prayer!!  And to make it even better, the $140 is about what the passport is going to cost!  Wow, I guess we'll be getting Michael's picture made and heading to the courthouse on his next days off!!!  Praise the Lord!!!
