God Does Provide!

I had a decent union job for about 15 years. I had healthcare and decent pay. 2 years ago I got "laid off". Actually, I was replaced by a non-union kid half my age and making half my salary. But I made enough money to extend my healthcare for another year.

Just about the time my year was ending, my old job hired me back part-time to work weekends. Since I was back contributing to my union, I was able to eek another year of healthcare out for my family. Shortly afterwards, the Wicked Witch of the South (the big boss), fired me AGAIN (I did mention I was there 15 years, right?) and I found myself running out of healthcare at the end of September.

Since taking health benefits through my husband was NOT an option as the Company's plan would cost us over $12,000 a year, I was researching private options. They too, were pretty pricey.

Meanwhile, I am going back to school part time to get my teaching certification.

As it turns out, I need healthcare insurance to be a college student this fall. Either I sign a waiver saying I have insurance, or I opt for the healthcare through school. Either way, I thought for sure I was done for!

Until I actually looked at the school policy; around $525 for me for the whole year (the whole year!), and if I wanted to add Rob, it would cost another $1,400 for the year! So for around $1,900 I got my family covered for less than cobra, or any other private healthcare plan I found!

Heck, that was less than what my union charged me!!

Coincidence? No, friends... God's timing. My deadline is Oct. 1st to apply. My current healthcare runs out Sept. 30th. That is some Divine Intervention!

Thank you God for taking care of us. I should not be amazed when you make all the details fit together, and yet I always am.
