@jesuslovesjasleen: The reality is, there were too many missed appointments because sometimes I simply did not have the gas money to get my son to his multiple appointments every week. I felt like a failure as a mom, and even more so because I couldn’t always be the one driving him there in my own car. But these services exist for low-income families because the truth is, sometimes we need the help. We need the support. That doesn’t mean I hate capitalism. It means I’m grateful for the social services that were created to soften some of its harder edges. And as someone who has lived with some form of government assistance for more than a decade, I can also acknowledge that these systems were never really designed to “free us” or necessarily help us get ahead. They help us survive. They fill gaps. Sometimes they make it possible to get our children to the doctor, keep food in the house, or make it through a season we otherwise couldn’t afford to carry. So I’ve learned to find the simple blessings in it too. Getting a ride to a doctor’s appointment. Meeting a new Medicaid driver. Having a conversation I never would have had otherwise. Sometimes even getting the opportunity to tell someone about Jesus. Because God is everywhere. He is involved in everything. And even in the places that once made me feel ashamed of needing help, I’m learning to recognize His provision instead.
