Our family enjoys traveling, but let's be honest.....traveling with four kids isn't the cheapest! We are not camper people, so that is not an option for us. Wesley recently discovered travel hacking. He listened to some podcasts about it & did some online courses & signed us up for a Capital One Venture Card. <i>Now, let me saw first that I generally dislike credit cards (hello, Dave Ramsey!), BUT we pay it off each month...NO exceptions. If you are not someone who can do that, then this option is not for you. </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWAPDEABgcBbsq9pBVy_xZhS-CKFKbd-uD-BN1_ek0XgxvEJ8dEv5aHmeXa378PnOETB_DqHfU9-CKj24CT5JI2mBn80H9PwEDC2aoCPlbCpwO4vAyZNbizPbysgDNAuUeQcIksFauKN3I/s1600/Travel+Rewards.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWAPDEABgcBbsq9pBVy_xZhS-CKFKbd-uD-BN1_ek0XgxvEJ8dEv5aHmeXa378PnOETB_DqHfU9-CKj24CT5JI2mBn80H9PwEDC2aoCPlbCpwO4vAyZNbizPbysgDNAuUeQcIksFauKN3I/s320/Travel+Rewards.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The way this card works is that you acquire points based on your spending that you can use for travel: lodging, airline tickets, & rental cars. When we signed up, they had sign on bonuses so that was really nice too! Wesley signed both of us up for a card. His card is saved in our online shopping (Amazon, etc) & is used for eating out or when he gets gas. Mine is used for groceries & whatever I purchase out of the house. Within the FIRST month (our normal spending plus sign on bonus), we had enough points to wipe off the deposit for our cabin for PTP! It was kind of magical to click on the app.....click over to points & erase a huge charge like a cabin deposit! This is going to be a huge blessing to our family (free </span>lodging<span style="font-family: inherit;"> for Polishing the Pulpit?!) & I hope it helps some of you too! We got an email recently that if someone uses our referral link, </span><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(20, 20, 20); color: #141414; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;">we can earn "</span><span style="caret-color: rgb(20, 20, 20); color: #141414; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;">up to $500 in bonuses</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #141414; font-family: inherit;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(20, 20, 20);">—plus, they’ll get unlimited 2X miles per dollar on every purchase, every day." If this sounds like something </span></span><span style="color: #141414;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(20, 20, 20);">that</span></span><span style="color: #141414;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> would work for you, <a href="https://capital.one/2LG23cO" target="_blank">please use my </a></span><a href="https://capital.one/2LG23cO" target="_blank">link</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://capital.one/2LG23cO" target="_blank"> to sign up</a>! </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">*IMMERSE yourself in the Word. You can do this by using little bits of time you have throughout the day. It may be listening to a chapter or two as you get ready in the morning, studying for a few minutes during breakfast or before the kids wake up, listening to a podcast during nap time/while doing housework (IRONING!), or after they are in bed. Young moms do not have a lot of free time, so make the best of the time you have.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">*Use a study guide/book. When I have a newborn especially, I cannot sit & just read chapters (or even one) at a time. I can’t remember what I read & when I am really sleep deprived, I fall asleep! Using a study guide or book helps keep me focused & not be overwhelmed by reading a bunch at one time. <a href="http://www.kaiopublications.org/search.php?search_query=finer&section=product" target="_blank">Kaio Publications</a> & <a href="https://thecolleyhouse.org/store#!/Women/c/3290197/offset=0&sort=normal" target="_blank">the Colley House</a> have some great ones.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">*Find an accountability partner or study group. This is why I LOVE the <a href="https://thecolleyhouse.org/category/digging-deep-bible-study" target="_blank">Digging Deep Bible study</a> so much. There is a live video podcast at the end of each month that you can participate in, short audio podcasts throughout the month, a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/282349391779769/" target="_blank">Facebook group</a> to post/answer questions you may have, & we have a group from our congregation meeting each month. If you don’t have a study group in your area, make one! See if you can get some teen girls or older ladies from your congregation to volunteer to watch the kids while the moms study. This would be a great opportunity to invite non-Christians as well.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">*Start a group text Bible study. Pick 5-6 of your sisters in Christ who are interested & have a group text. Someone can send out a verse/passage/topic in the morning & then you can answer/see other’s thoughts on the topic as you go throughout the day. It gives you something to consider & help you to meditate on the Word as you care for your family & home.</span></span></div>

We were honored to be asked to speak at the Richmond congregation's first family seminar. We know what a blessing that our family seminar has been to us & also how much work it is to put together! The speakers were Austin Johnson & Wesley. Vicky & I also spoke to the ladies about family bible time resources (I believe they will have that video on a ladies only page). They have the lessons on their YouTube page, so I wanted to share them here too. Wesley had a "heavy" session in the "Hot Topics" lesson. It was amazing how Austin's lesson about family mission statements flowed so well with what Wesley had planned for that last session. We hope these will be an encouragement to your families!<br />

We were asked to speak recently on how to get the Bible into the hearts of our young children. Since we have four children ages eight & under, we have quite a few resources that we really love. We KNOW there are unlimited other resources that are amazing for teaching the Bible to your children. These are just a few that we have used & love.</div>

Amazon is a super handy place to get most of these items. <i>*The Amazon links are affiliate links, but I am only linking what we truly love & use. Click on the image to find it on Amazon.*</i> I will try to make comments on each one so you know if it will work for your kids!<br />

</iframe> The Young Readers Bible is a great beginning storybook Bible for littles. We began using it when Hannah Kate was a baby. The stories are shorter & the illustrations are eye catching. (This book was recently-maybe in the last 3-4 years-republished with a new cover image. We wore the cover off of our first one because we loved it so much!)<br />

</iframe> Egermeier's Bible Story Book is great as the kids get a little older. We started using it maybe when Hannah Kate was 3-4 years old. The stories are more detailed & there are less pictures. <br />

</iframe> We got the Complete Illustrated Children's Bible for our "big kids" for Christmas last year. They are 8 & 6 years old. The pictures are BEAUTIFUL & the stories are only about two pages long each. I wish they were longer, but our kids LOVE the illustrations. We liked it so much that I immediately bought one for our niece. Micaiah (6 years old) wants to read the Bible so badly he has been keeping this one in his bed. *We have not read every story yet, so I don't know if there are issues with any of the stories being Biblically accurate. Generally, we either change the words as we read or make actual corrections with a pen if absolutely needed since we have readers in the house now!<br />

</iframe> We got The Rhyme Bible Storybook for our "little kids" for Christmas last year. The are 4 & 2 years old & they LOVE it. Of course, it rhymes! The stories are short & the pictures are pretty too. We love to read several stories at a time.<br />

</iframe>We have had The Jesus Storybook Bible for several years. It is not my favorite because I feel like it gets a little imaginative with some of the stories. I feel like I need to comment each time & tell the kids that we don't *really* know that it happened exactly that way. BUT, as you can tell from the title, it points to Jesus in each story. I do think that is pretty neat & a great thing for our kids (& us!) to learn as they learn to study the Bible. We also somehow got this book on Audible (free subscription turned into forgot to cancel! Oops! Micaiah LOVES listening to this.)<br />
<br />
The Arch Books are favorites in our home. We probably have 20 or more, so I am not going to link each one! I have only found a VERY few that were not Biblically accurate. Of course, the birth/death of Jesus ones have some denominational teachings so we did not get those. As far as I know, we have all of these & they are good! If you have questions about specific titles, you are welcome to email me! These books all rhyme & are pretty well detailed. All of our kids, ages 8-2, love them!<br />

There are two editions of it. It is a fabric book with different interactive things that your little one can do that relate to a Bible story. We do not use books/toys during worship for our kids, but if you do, this would be a great one to use. I also used to do a Bible lesson with it for Hannah Kate when she was a baby. <br />
Here are some pictures of a few of the pages.<br />

(I will say that I have never bought these from Amazon. We always ordered from Christian Family Bookstore in Chattanooga-they also had a better price.) If these are out of the budget, you could always make one or have a grandma or lady from your congregation help you to make one! A friend & I did a similar book that we called Bible ABCs or something similar. We had an interactive thing on each page. It took forever, but all of our kids have loved it! (It was made on the computer/printed & laminated.)<br />

The KidSing cards that the Colleys/West Huntsville have produced are a great resource for Bible time and it is FREE. Check them out <a href="https://thecolleyhouse.org/sermons/kidsing" target="_blank">here</a>. When ours were younger, I found clip art to go with the KidSing topics to help them memorize them.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.apologeticspress.org/" target="_blank">Apologetics Press</a> always has amazing resources for teaching our children the truth of God's Word, how it really came from Him, & amazing facts about His creation. I am not going to take the time to go into all of them, but we have loved the Creation Cards (babies/toddlers, but really our bigger kids would love reading the facts too!), AP readers, & various books!

You can purchase them individually or your elders can purchase a license for the whole congregation. Our kids LOVE the Football the Piggy book!<br />

When we were having trouble with our children getting along (imagine that!), we got the My Brother's Keeper book. We did the junior version, but they also have youth. You can check out the ages to determine which one you should get. I just got one book & they all shared it. When it gave them a chance to write in the book or draw a picture, I would have them take turns or divide the drawing area into sections. We also just completed the Because I Said So... study, so I expect everyone to be perfectly obeying like tomorrow! :) We have loved both of these books-there was some mention of children sinning, but I edited that out as we read it.</div>

We also want to share a new resource that is on Facebook. The Medwar family has started a page called "Family Bible Time." They go live on Tuesdays at 7:30pm EST & do a devotional/Bible time with their family for everyone to join in! They've only done two so far, but they will all be available for viewing on the page after they are live too. Below is what they have posted on their page:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>We have been doing “Bible Time” with our family for a few years and have often commented that it would be great if somewhere we could find a collection of 5-10 minute devotional videos geared towards children to use as one of the resources for our Bible Time. We recently came across a Facebook post that shared the story of a school principal from Texas that goes live on Facebook once a week and reads a book to her students. We immediately thought, “she’s onto something!” After some thought, prayer, and asking our friends for advice, we are excited to invite you and your family to join us every Tuesday evening at 7:30pm EST for Family Bible Time. The devotional will be geared toward elementary aged kids and will last approximately 10 minutes. There will be nothing professional about these devotionals. We are a real family with real kids who act up from time to time. We are not attempting to show you a perfect family in any way. It’s quite the opposite! We want to invite you into our real life and learn the Bible together. We hope this will encourage you to start doing “Bible Time” with your own family on the other days of the week! It’s our goal to show you how simple, yet meaningful it can be and give you courage to keep going even if it seems no one is listening. </i></span></span></div>

My sweet friend & sister in Christ, Vicky Yocum, spoke at the Richmond church of Christ Family Seminar about getting the Word into the hearts of middle & high school children.

Family Bible Time is one of the most important things that we can do to get the Word of God into the hearts of our children. We have written on this blog about it a couple of times & we have several podcast episodes about resources we have used. We are working on an upcoming family seminar session & I thought it would be handy to have all of the resources in one place.<br />
<br />
**The family seminar was a success! You can find Wesley's lesson on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Chid7K57L8" target="_blank">Family Bible Time HERE</a>.**<br />

We also want to share a new resource that is on Facebook. The Medwar family has started a page called "Family Bible Time." They go live on Tuesdays at 7:30pm EST & do a devotional/Bible time with their family for everyone to join in! They've only done two so far, but they will all be available for viewing on the page after they are live too. Below is what they have posted on their page:</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>We have been doing “Bible Time” with our family for a few years and have often commented that it would be great if somewhere we could find a collection of 5-10 minute devotional videos geared towards children to use as one of the resources for our Bible Time. We recently came across a Facebook post that shared the story of a school principal from Texas that goes live on Facebook once a week and reads a book to her students. We immediately thought, “she’s onto something!” After some thought, prayer, and asking our friends for advice, we are excited to invite you and your family to join us every Tuesday evening at 7:30pm EST for Family Bible Time. The devotional will be geared toward elementary aged kids and will last approximately 10 minutes. There will be nothing professional about these devotionals. We are a real family with real kids who act up from time to time. We are not attempting to show you a perfect family in any way. It’s quite the opposite! We want to invite you into our real life and learn the Bible together. We hope this will encourage you to start doing “Bible Time” with your own family on the other days of the week! It’s our goal to show you how simple, yet meaningful it can be and give you courage to keep going even if it seems no one is listening. </i></span></span></div>

<br />
We all know that praying for our families is important, but sometimes it is hard to know how to do that. <a href="https://thelightnetwork.tv/aiohs8e7/" target="_blank">On today's episode</a>, Wesley & Denise talk about some practical tips for praying for our marriage, our children, & our friends. <br />
<br />
We talk on this episode about making a list for your marriage, your spouse, & each of your children. Sometimes, I need an example to get my mind going! We have created a list of <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/qjr6ozpmebqum0k/Prayers%20for%20Our%20Marriage%3AChildren%20PDF.pdf?dl=0" target="_blank">16 Prayers for Your Marriage & 16 Prayers for Your Children</a>. {Click the link to download or save the images below.} We hope you will use & benefit from these prayer <b>guides</b> for your marriage & your children. We encourage you to use these simply as a guide to help you pray. (You can even cut the page & glue the pieces together to make a bookmark!) <i>Please personalize these & make them your own.</i> Pray for specific things that you or your spouse need help with or that are important to you. Make a list for each of your children & make them specific to include what things your children need help with at this moment (maybe it is attitudes or a specific health problem or behavior that needs to be corrected). Nothing will humble you as a spouse & parent as seeing your specific prayers written out to God & realizing what role you play in helping your own marriage & children. Be sure you make a list for yourself as well-how you can be a better spouse & parent. Post your list where you will see it often & can pray through it throughout the day. <br />
We love you--Wesley & Denise<br />

As Christians, we should have a heart of thankfulness all year long. On this <a href="https://thelightnetwork.tv/aiohs8e6/" target="_blank">episode</a>, Wesley and Denise talk about how we can create this in our children and ourselves.</span><br />

See these circled totals? That’s how much our bills were (you can see the “bill total” above was before “discounts” </span><span class="_5mfr _47e3" style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 0; margin: 0px 1px; vertical-align: middle;"><img alt="" class="img" height="16" role="presentation" src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/fcd/2/16/1f633.png" style="border: 0px; vertical-align: -3px;" width="16" /><span class="_7oe" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit; font-size: 0px; width: 0px;">😳</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">). With our Samaritan plan, we are responsible for $300 per event. Well.....when you receive any discounts, that goes towards your responsible amount. So, ER visit & 2 nights</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">’ stay....we will be responsible for $0. Yep. $0. How does that compare to our crazy deductibles we used to have?! No comparison. It’s a hugely amazing blessing.<br /><a href="http://arrowsinourhand.blogspot.com/2017/11/samaritan-ministries-health-sharing.html" target="_blank">Here’s more info.</a> I’d be glad to answer any questions. I know how much of a burden medical insurance & bills are & am thankful we chose this!</span><br />

I LOVE using Chatbooks to make photo books for our kids, family events, & grandparents. I seriously don't think my kids would have photo books at this point without Chatbooks. They have certainly made it easier on me. Here are a few reasons why I love Chatbooks:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>They sync automatically from my Instagram (or Facebook!).</li>
<li>I can have separate books for each kid or event or even each set of grandparents with no problem.</li>
<li>I can make a series book (like I have for each child) or do custom books (like I do for grandparents at the end of the year). The series book would be a great way to have a homeschool "yearbook."</li>
<li>It takes most of the work out of making photo books. The captions & dates are automatically included from when I upload to social media. I do go back when I receive my "it's about to print" email & double check for typos & choose the cover photo. </li>
<li>You can add photos from your device or social media. So, a couple of times, I have taken a photo that Wesley requested that I not put on social media. I just added it to my Chatbooks manually after I took it.</li>
<li>You can set your subscription based on how much money you want to spend each month. I have had it set to one book per month for HK & M. Recently, I paused those subscriptions & started SG & N's. </li>
<li>Their customer service is TOP NOTCH. I have never had an issue that wasn't quickly resolved by customer service. They are seriously amazing.</li>
<li>The quality is great. If you know me, you know I am very picky about our photos. As a former professional photographer, quality is something I take seriously. I have been very pleased with the books we have received. (I haven't tried them yet, but they also have prints!)</li>
</ol>
<div>
I am often asked how you link your social media to Chatbooks. I thought I'd post a little tutorial today to walk you through it. Now, Chatbooks has a great how to on their website. Just look at their FAQs & type in Facebook, Instagram, etc. I am a visual person, so I thought this might help.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
**I know some people are really picky about posting their kids photos on social media. Never fear! You can still do Chatbooks. You can always just upload from your device, but if you want to do it a little at a time like I do--just create a PRIVATE Instagram account. You decide who your followers are & if you don't want anyone to see the pictures, just don't add any followers. :) Hope that helps!**</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My kids' photo books are sorted by hashtag. So, each time I upload a photo to social media, I include their hashtag in the caption. (I also do that for both sets of grandparents, special trips (like PTP), our yearly book, Christmas, anything I *THINK* I might want a book for later.)</div>

Today, we are unveiling a plan of Scripture memory work for the whole year as well as giving some tips on how to teach & review memory verses with our kids. </span><a href="http://thelightnetwork.tv/aiohs7e1/" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;" target="_blank">Listen to our episode here.</a></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">We had a great suggestion from one our our listeners to </span><span style="color: #222222;">develop a Scripture memory plan for the year. I know we desperately need a plan or we really struggle. We have really slacked with memory verses as we have added each kid because that's one more thing to remember to do. If something is not planned out for me, I have a hard time getting it done. Hopefully, this will help not only our family but your family as well. I made this plan for the year while our family was battling the flu, so please let me know if you find any errors! If this goes well, maybe next year we can develop </span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">another one that follows a "plan" a little better-maybe a theme for each month or something like that. For now, here is our official 2018 Arrows in Our Hand Scripture Memory Work (can you think of any more words we can throw in that title?!)!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>12/14/18 I am popping back here to share that since writing this post, we have had two ER visits & one hospital admission that lasted two nights. After those experiences, we love Samaritan even more! <a href="https://arrowsinourhand.blogspot.com/2018/09/samaritan-ministries-health-sharing.html" target="_blank">We ended up paying $0 for those hospital visits because our discount was more than the $300 we were responsible for.</a> (Click that link to see what the bills actually were!) Can you even imagine that happening with standard health insurance? Um, no. I know for sure because we have had multiple babies born on standard insurance...multiple NICU stays....multiple hospital stays. We paid thousands upon thousands of dollars PLUS our monthly premium that was high. Samaritan was a HUGE blessing to us. We are more than happy to answer any questions you may have.</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>I am also going to add a couple of questions with answers that people have asked me often to the bottom of this post.</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>We have received a LOT of questions lately about our decision to switch to a health sharing plan this year. I hope this will answer some of your questions. Please feel free to email us or comment if you have more questions</i>!</div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">We are SO thankful for </span></span><a href="http://www.samaritanministries.org/" style="color: #1d2129; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;" target="_blank">Samaritan Ministries</a><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"> & the blessing it has been to our family. At the end of last year, we received our new insurance rates & were shocked. We were going to have to pay over $1200 per month for our health insurance for our family of six. We still would have a high deductible & have more medical expenses. After much searching, studying, & praying, we switched to Samaritan in January & cannot be more pleased. We pay $500ish per month for our family of SIX & any illness/injury over $300 is covered. We have the coverage for a family & we also are enrolled in "Save to Share." That is basically like catastrophic coverage, so there is no limit to what they will cover. I was VERY nervous about the medical expenses we would be responsible for, but after almost a year of experience, we are so pleased. I called our pediatrician's office before we switched & asked for the CASH or self-pay prices for every well visit & vaccine we would have this year. The most we have paid is $179. I do know that doctor's charges vary, so be sure you check around for prices! Even when we pay for our kids' well visits/vaccines, it still is cheaper than us paying that ridiculous amount for insurance. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">We have had a couple of sick visits this year as well. Our pediatrician charges $89 for the visit plus any tests needed. Even if we had a sick visit/event every month & had to pay the $300 we are responsible for, it would still be cheaper for us! Wesley had some places removed at the dermatologist this year & that was over $300. We have submitted our bills and are waiting now for our reimbursements from Samaritan members. When you have an event that is over $300, any discount that you are able to get from the provider counts towards the $300 you are responsible for too. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Prescriptions are not covered, but the cash price for prescriptions (& for your actual doctor bills) will surprise you. Of course, we have a pharmacy connection since Wesley IS a pharmacist, but check with your local, independent pharmacies & see what they can do about your prescription costs. Most are cheaper than you would expect. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">It qualifies under the "Affordable Care Act" so we don't have to pay the penalty for not having health insurance too. Each month, you send your share (money) to an actual person who had a medical expense. They also send a monthly prayer list of people who have had an illness/injury, death, birth, or are expecting a baby. There are addresses included for the deaths/births, so we are sure to send a card (& info on The Light Network!). This is a great opportunity to share info on the church with others too. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">If you have questions, let me know. AND, if you do sign up, we would LOVE for you to list us as your referral <i>(although the referral credit has changed since I wrote this post originally, we still get $100 off of one month for referring someone)</i>. There are several different groups like this (Christian Healthcare Ministries, Medishare, etc), so see which one works best for you & go with that! I know what a burden health insurance can be, so I hope this will be helpful for you! </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>What about dental/vision coverage? </b> <span style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129;">Dental & vision are not covered. We have a private dental plan from BCBS for our family. It costs around $90/month for us. I have seen through paperwork we receive from Samaritan where they send out info on people who had dental work done & since it is not covered, they provide the peoples' information so you can send money if you would like to. So, there is that option that you may be able to get some money back for dental coverage that way. </span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41);"><i><br /></i></span></span></span>

Sort of. We have an emergency savings account that we can use if needed. What we did is filed the bills with Samaritan immediately upon receiving them in the mail. I even called the hospital as soon as we got </i><i>home</i><i style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41);"> & asked for </i><i>itemized</i><i style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41);"> bills because that is what we have to have to submit to SMI. The process takes maybe a month to get your needs published (assigned to other members to send you money). You can pay them & just be reimbursed when you </i><i>receive</i><i style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41);"> the shares from other members, wait to pay them, or set them up on very small payment plans (usually no interest) & pay the remainder when you receive the shares.</i></span></span><br />

We would be ever so grateful! (The credit amount has changed since I posted this article/picture. It is now $100 instead of $180, but every little bit helps! Please know we would recommend this even if we didn't get credit!)</span></span><br />
