Light in the darkness..

Thanksgiving 2009 recap...

Ahhh I was extremely excited to have my almost one week break! Then.. I had to get my wisdom teeth pulled! I knew this would ruin my Thanksgiving meal -_- But what I wanted to do most was the Black Friday shopping! I really didn't have anything I wanted specifically but I just wanted the experience :) I knew that getting my wisdom teeth pulled was God's perfect timing because it was MUCH cheaper; $100 per tooth (thanks tony)! That's literally impossible! So.. I went to the dentist's office Tuesday right after work & I was so scared. If you know me well enough, I don't do well dealing with pain, at all! I'm the baby of the family that did not have to go through ANYTHING except bask in the ambiance of being spoiled =P About a few months before this, I got an estimate x-ray to see which ones I needed pulled and 2 dentists both told me that I needed all four of my wisdom teeth pulled.. So I was going into the office with anticipation of getting all of them pulled. Tony took me in for x-rays and he gave me wonderful news #2 that my top 2 wisdom teeth don't exist! I was in complete shock! Wow! Thanks God so much for completely taking my two top wisdom teeth away! That is only possible with God!!

Okay.. So yayyy, I got my left wisdom tooth pulled and Dr. Kathy said she would be too tired to do the other side. So I went home in pain.. Yes it is EXTREMELY painful -_- But I also thank God that I could still eat with my other side. God's will :) Although I could successfully go shopping for black friday, I ate some wonderful home made Thanksgiving food! :):) & I just got my other side pulled on Saturday, which went by much faster! I had an audience too! Angela, Jennifer, Ann, & Maxine! Thanks for the support ya'll! They did tell me that blood was flying everywhere though, hahaha!

Anyways, I'm sitting at home on a Monday because I wanted some rest but I thought I'd share this wonderful testimony with the world! & to also spend my 'resting day' with God, because He really has done so much for me through all the pain and misery.

Song of songs 4:9-10
"You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride; you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace. How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much more pleasing is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your perfume than any spice!"

Thank You, God <3

A chance..

Today, I was given a chance.. A chance to be a better me.

Yes, that may sound cliche, but it's true!

As I arrived to work today, everything was going perfectly! I was so thankful for the many great things God has given to me! I shifted my car into park and started heading out of my car. Gently, I opened my car door.. Usually my car door stops itself at some midpoint before fully extending, and it did. But the strongest wind EVER came and pulled my car door fully back, and BAM it hit the car next to mine.. At first, I thought, "Why God.. my day was so perfect and then THIS had to happen...". Hesitating on what I should do, I finally decided to go to my office, write out a note of what happened, name and number included, and tape it to the car that I had accidentally hit. As the day progressed, I finally realized that I shouldn't have blamed God for what had happened, but thank Him. I needed this as a test to see if I really was practicing to live like Him, or just claiming to live like Him. In the end, Olga Longoria, who sounded like an older woman, called me and appreciated me for leaving a note. She also asked, not requested, if I could go to the Chrysler Dealership & buy her a little bottle of paint. She also made it clear that if I forgot, or if it wasn't convenient for me, that I do not have to get it. I think I can coincidentally have that dealership be 'on the way' for me... :)

Thank You, Jesus.

P.S. I'm on day 3 of the 90 day Bible reading plan! May this journey continue!
