When I was in 9th grade, my back tooth cracked in half, and came out in my gum. I waited a year before ever going to the dentist, and by that time it was infected and very painful. I had to get an emergency root canal, but my family couldn't afford to cap the temporary filling they put in it. And so, in a few weeks, I was simply left with a gaping hole in my reconstructed tooth. I stopped chewing on that side, but quickly ended up with multiple cavities. Still, I couldn't pay to go to the dentist.
What I've learned the past few days is that God pays attention to the details, even things like my teeth. And He cares deeply about those details. So much that He would move upon someone's heart to provide me with complete dental care. And so today, for the first time in four years, I have chewed on both sides of my mouth with my newly built tooth. The other ones are on their way to being fixed as well.
I am just so amazed. One, that people would care that much for me; but most of all, that Christ would. When the dentist was finished and I looked in the mirror at my mouth, I really almost cried. Thank You, Jesus. Thank You, thank You, thank You so much. I used to hear that saying "Jesus is life- everything else is just details", but they are details that He absolutely knows and loves. Just ask my teeth :D

Hallelujah!
"May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it. Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now glory be to God! By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope."
There are so many awesome testimonies to the power of Christ and the power of His love all around us. This is an especially great one.
