No deficit with God's supply

BY NANCY KRUSSEL

MY HUSBAND, GARY, was in the logging business as the owner and operator of a log truck for over 30 years. When we decided it was time to obtain a medical insurance policy for him about ten years ago, we discovered there was no health insurance offered in our state for independent business owners. At the same time, Gary developed a medical condition that resulted in a stroke, and he could no longer work.

Gary has always respected my choice to rely on God as my caregiver, and I respected his choice for medical treatment. The costs of his medical care and rehabilitation, which lasted for about a month and a half, were very high. As I was not employed at the time, this meant an immediate loss of income, even though the business bills still needed to be paid.
