Let it Be.

Can I just say, I despise calling the All Kids Hotline?
As many of you know, when our insurance company dropped Olivia last year, she was thankfully picked up by the State's All Kids program. To date, we have had no problems with them at all, which is also a blessing. However, I called to cancel Olivia's coverage back in June, but I keep receiving a statement saying we owe them for her July and August premiums. I've been holding off on calling them because it puts in me in such a weird place when I call. Why, you wonder? No matter what time of day I call, I'm always put on hold forever...like 18 minutes and 26 seconds forever. And the problem with that is the fact that they have the most beautiful, simple, keyboard music playing "Let it Be" in the background. The first time I called, I remember, so vividly, sitting in Olivia's room in the hospital just listening to the music. It's actually a wonderful memory...but, it makes me miss her so darn much every time I call.
So, if any one from the State is reading this, could you please change your "hold music" or take care of our account so I don't have to call again. I would really appreciate it!

...And then I go to my email to read my daily devotion and needed to come back and share this snippet...

"His perspective on things that are troubling me starts to over shadow my anxiety. Like shade on a hot summer's day, I feel relief in His presence. I know that He is preparing me for what I will need throughout this day. He is already standing in every minute of my day and He sees what I will face. So, He's equipping me to be able to handle what is ahead of me with His gentle boldness, quiet strength, and loving grace."

God is good all the time and all the time, God is good! Guess He's just trying to tell me to "Let it Be."

I'm sure there are all sorts of moments and things that remind you of Olivia! I'm so thankful that you have so many beautiful memories of her, even if it is when you call the All Kids program.
I think of you guys often and pray...
So how is all that house painting coming??? Can't wait to see some pictures :)

My husband says if no one else in your family is on the All Kids program then do nothing. They will cancel coverage anyway when you obviously don't pay. Otherwise if you do have your other kids on it then sadly you have to get a hold of your caseworker and get it straightened out. All Kids is such a blessing but your absolutely right about their forever hold time.

It is sometimes so hard to "let it be". I'm in one of those moments now. I would love to know more of your devotional that you mentioned.
