hey yall! I have been SOO busy and haven't been able to write...been wanting to so bad though. well, anyways the main reason I haven't been able to write is because last thursday (may 17) I had my WISDOM TEETH pulled and alo had 4 others to get my mouth ready for braces. So I have been recovering from the 8 huge holes in my mouth :(( it has been quite painful, really sore but the Lord is still good and he has gotten my through it All! I sure am glad I have HIM!! I had always dreaded getting my wisdom teeth pulled. Everytime I went to the dentist they would say I needed to get them pulled but because it is SO expensive we kept putting it off....but sadly about a month ago i started having really bad pain in my throat and ears and lympnodes because the stupid teeth! my gums swelled up and were really bothering me so I had to get them pulled. I was so scared because I had never been put to sleep, i was nervous about it and also scared because everyone says it hurts so bad. I am one of those people who let fear eat them all up! I wish i wasnt that way but i am. I prayed and prayed and prayed that I would have total peace and that the Lord would help me through it...So finally the day came at I wake up and I wasn't even nervous (suprisingly) but as 9:30am rolled around and it came time to go get in the truck to drive to the doc I just couldn't help it...the tears started flowing :(( I walk in the office and sign my name in and the lady stats telling me how it isn't "that" bad (when ppl "try" to comfort me it normally makes me cry even more lol) I sit down in a chair and wait for them to call my name and I see a Bible so i [ick it up and start reading...I was reading 1 john and it is amazing how just remembering (thinking about) you are truly saved can give you faith and strength. but i was still petty scared, then my name is called and it is time to go back. I get back to the chair and i kinda stopped crying but then they start the IV (and let me tell you...that thing hurt!) the tears start flowing again and the assistants are trying to calm me down. the doc comes in and says a few things to me then he tells the others in the room that I am going to be a dental assistant and i hear them say aww you look like a dental assistant. and then I remember nothing. I wake up and my teeth are gone. moral of the story is that it wasn't near as bad as i thought it would be and even though I might not have felt the Lord there...I knew in my heart he was because he has told me sooo many times he will always be there. He loves me and cares for me more than anyone else ever could!! I don't know how people go through major things like cancer or open heart surgery and not have the Lord, I can't imagine the fear they must feel!!!
I actual was so suprised at how good i felt. I even went and walked around CVS with my mom while we waited for my medicine. She made me walk with a buggy bc she was scared i might fall over lol (i am clumsy so she knows me pretty well lol) thankfully i didn't fall! We got the meds then went home. everything was fine except that I couldn't sleep bc the blood :/ around 6 that night my family went to my brothers award banquet @ his school so i was left home alone...my mouth started bleeding worse and worse and i ran out of gauze...all the blood made me stress out majorly!All i could do was stand over the sink, it was that bad. I text my mom to come home but they didn't until like 9:30. She said the bathroom looked like a murder scene LOL finally after they brought me some more gauze my mouth stopped bleeding around 11/11:30. I was soooo happy about that! lol
I have been sore since then but slowly getting better! still a little pain today but i can tell it is healing. I went for my check-up yesterday and He said everything looked good :) Many people were praying for me through it all and I know every prayer helped! It means so much when you know someone is prayer for you as you go through hard things. I am thankful i have so many people who care about me. So many FB messages and texts people sent letting me know they were prayer and asking how I was doing. It meant so much to me <3 The Lord showed me through this that HIS grace is sufficient! No mater what comes my way I will make it through all because I have him. Jesus is always ENOUGH :)))) I will be getting spacers put in next week on May 31st and then braces on June 7th. please keep me in your prayers...not looking forward to all that pain But i know HE will get me through :) i have a few things i really want to blog about so hopefully I will be able to sometime in the next few days. Lots of stuff to tell yall about what we've been learning in G.L.A.M.
