I can hardly believe it…. Kaitlin gets discharged from Craig in just a few short days. Tonight one of our friends had her hairdresser come by and give Kait a lovely haircut, so as I sit here writing this she is tossing her hair back and forth saying “don’t I look pretty?” Of course she does! She is positively radiant, exuding confidence and excitement that we are about to enter in to the next phase of this journey. I can’t help but grin stupidly as she wheels from side to side admiring herself in the mirror. That is my wife! What a top-notch lady. I am so proud of her.
Thinking again of leaving Craig this Thursday, I am excited. What I find however is that my mind continually shifts to the great unknown of our future. Trying to think through life insurance, getting a job this next year, dealing with health insurance and medical bills is overwhelming. Fear begins to well up inside of me. The chance of successfully navigating all of these things seems small in comparison to the obstacles at hand. When I talked through these feelings with Kait, she simply told me to step back and take things one day at a time. I am reminded of the time that Jesus scolded his disciples for their lack of faith when they were worried about what they were going to eat. The God of the universe just grins and looks at me from above saying “don’t you get it? I created everything. Am I not capable of taking care of you?”
Yes Lord, you are certainly capable. I believe that you will care for us, but help me with my unbelief.
