Breathing is good!

About a month or so ago I filled out this huge application, asking for a grant from St. Joe's, to cover some of Carter's mounting medical costs. When I called and asked for the application, I explained that we would have to pay like $8000 out of pocket before we could apply for any state funded medical grants, so I asked if it was even worth filling out the enormously long, tedious application. She said its always worth a shot, and that this program is through St. Joes so they don't have a lot of the same factors swaying their decision as a state funded program did. So I filled it out. I took about 2 hours, every day, for about a week for me to get all the information together.
Today, we got a letter in the mail saying that they were covering ALMOST ALL of amount we have left to pay!!! Before I even opened the letter my mind flashed on my patriarchal blessing and the line that basically says as long as we faithfully pay a full tithe, our family will be blessed. Just the other day I was telling a friend, that I'm not usually the kind of person who has impressions. Not that I would EVER want to go through all of this again, I know that this experience has given me some spiritual experiences that I would of not otherwise recieved. I read the letter over and over and started to cry. I yet again, can't put into words the amount of stress that has been lifted off. I feel like I can breathe again. Breathing is good.
