Blessings

For a few weeks now I have been thinking about this song. I heard it at our church in Georgia, and ever since haven't been able to get it off my mind. Two weeks ago I was given the opportunity to be apart of our church in NC's children's camp. I have been apart of it several years and it is such a blessing every time. During one of our altar calls this song was played. I lost it, it is so powerful and I love how God can work through just a simple song. The song is called Blessings. It talks about how we go through so much suffering, we pray sometimes and feel like God is no where near, but reminds us that we are BLESSED and God has so much bigger plans for us than we have for ourselves. Our pastor in GA has been preaching about how we as Christians WILL experience suffering, but going through the fire will make us so much stronger. Maybe you are like me and have things in your life that you are experiencing and praying about that you don't really understand. I hope this songs speaks to you like it has to me. Be reminded that God has everything under control. He is good, and you are BLESSED no matter what you face.


But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
-1st Peter 5: 10-11

Praying for a Miracle

Today I went for my dentist appointment. It was my first time there so they went through all their procedures, and I was starting to  think it wasn't really a bad place to be. That was until I heard the words, Uh,oh. That is never a good sign. I asked the lady what was wrong and she said "Well this tooth is sticking right here". What does that mean I asked? "Its a CAVITY" she says. My heart dropped. I have never had a cavity before, and to make mattes worse she found 2 more. I thought I was going to cry.

Having a cavity isn't really the part that bothers me, its the getting them fixed. If anyone knows me at all, I do not do well with needles. I pass out at the sign of them. Its so bad that I even passed out at the vet's office at Ellie's first visit. It's awful. I can only imagine what it will be like with a needle going in my mouth.

Needless to say I am really dreading getting them fixed. With that said, I need your help. I went out and bought these two things today. Supposedly they can really help!


So with the help of these 2 things..
Please help me pray that the Lord takes all 3 of  these cavities out of my mouth!
Or as my Dad said, a miracle to happen!!!!
