Extractions

Yesterday, I had two teeth extracted so that I can get braces next month! Without getting those teeth removed, the braces wouldn’t have helped much because my jaw would be too crowded. There are some things in our lives that, if we want to change for the better, we have to get rid of them. Whatever those things may be, we have to extract them or there will be crowding in our lives. It may not be fun at first, like my teeth being pulled (and not being able to eat, drink, or talk very well afterwards) wasn’t a picnic, but it’ll be worth it in the end! I actually looked like I had a botox injection because of the anesthetic on my upper gums and lip. I saw myself in the mirror and started laughing, and then laughing harder because the laughter distorted my face! Here is a selfie from a while ago (definitely pre-botox!) that shows off my lovely, splotchy, crooked teeth. 😀

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. -Romans 12:2, KJV
