Oh my goodness, oral surgery. Just had it Friday. Can actually function today but yesterday was a different story. I was feeling better today until I talked with my oral surgeon and he actually explained all that he did in my mouth. With all the bone taking out and then bone re grafting, I'm wondering how I am not more a mess than I am. Thank the Lord he was able to save to much and help me prepare for a healthier tomorrow regarding my mouth.
I was so nervous going into it all. You can ask those that were around me, the fear about consumed me. My husband got on the Ransomed Heart forums and got a prayer thread goin for me. My best friend prayed over me, my kids, a lot of people. But then, I found myself the morning of my surgery totally scared. "Why Lord, why should I be scared?" No reason really. My best friend put it so plainly to me the night before. She said the Lord doesn't warn us out of fear. Fear is a devise of the enemy. God does give us warning but not using fear as a tactic. He will warn but with a sense of peace behind it all. So I evaluated where this feeling of dread was coming from. Fear. So that ruled out God's warning and showed me really, its just Satan taking a stab at my heart, AGAIN.
9:30am, Friday morning. They're strapping all the electrodes to my body and monitoring my heart before the general anaesthesia is given to me. Then I realized something significant, something amazing...PEACE. I had no worry, no fear, NOTHING. It was just me and my Lord there for about an hour, talking. I was filled with so much peace and had a wonderful nap to boot. :)
HOWEVER after the nap, it's been icky. Yesterday was the worst and I'm getting better but still very swollen. So please continue the prayer and remember, God's way isn't through fear, but peace. :)
