The Lord and I that is! I have had a tooth bothering me for a couple of days and was really dreading going to the dentist. I have had TONS of work done throughout my 28 years- many thanks to Mom and Dad- and haven't had a problem. That is, until my previous dentist yelled at me in the chair. It literally scarred me and I have been dreading getting work done for about 3 years now.
Thankfully the Lord sent me to a wonderful, quiet, kind dentist here in Benton. Luke and I just love him. For several years I haven't needed any work- which was great for me! Yesterday, I went in to have him look at my tooth and he decided that huge old filling needed a crown. After reminding him that I don't stay numb long in the chair, he cleared the office and worked only on me.
During that time, I was reminded of all the things we have been studying in Beth Moore's study of Revelation. I kept thinking about how there will come a time I won't have to have pain, or be scared, or go to the dentist at all! I literally felt Jesus sitting right there with me in that chair, and I did fine! I was so proud of myself, and even gave Jesus a little applause when I got in the car.
Today my mouth is REALLY sore, but I can give God the glory as I'm no longer terrified to sit in the dentist chair. Do I enjoy it? No, not really, but with Jesus' help anything is possible!
