An Uneasy Monday

The weekend was a somber one as Emily's allergies attacked ferociously. Of course, why shouldn't they? Wasn't it just like the devil to throw a monkey wrench into something we have waited for so long? Always trying to rob our joy.

She has waited for her wisdom teeth to be pulled since Fall of last year. It has been one obstacle after another, trying to get this accomplished.

First, she aged out of my insurance, then she needed to be approved for her own. That took another two months or so. Then even though she was still using her own dentist, since she had a new account, she still needed to wait a month to be placed back on the list. When that happened, she was considered a " new " patient and had to wait another six weeks for an appointment. That appointment was only for a referral to get her wisdom teeth pulled.

Have I lost you?

Now, her allergies have set in a day before her oral surgery. She was upset all weekend, worried that it will have to be postponed. . . . again. Last night, she took some medicine  and has been knocked out since.

No water, no food and no gum for eight hours before. That's fine when the procedure is in the morning, but the afternoon . . . . that's a lot more difficult. No mother can bear to see her child suffer in any way, even with the denial of water. No water, food or gum for me either then, or at least in front of her.

That was the morning. Sitting here many hours later, we are so very thankful that it's finally over. They have been pulled and we can finally scratch this off the "to do list" and move on to the next. Thank you, Jesus, for allowing us to get home before the real storm raged on outside.

This is a perfect example of us waiting and waiting on the Lord, but when He comes through, hold on to your seat because the blessings will be showering down!

Have a blessed day everyone.
