Another Day, Another Challenge

I am realizing more and more how much I am like the Israelites. Those annoying, whiny people who roamed around the desert for 40 years, complaining 24/7. No sooner did God provide for them, they forgot and began to complain again. It seems as if as soon as I am finally able to say, "Okay God, here it is. I'm giving everything over to You and I will not worry myself with it anymore. It is in Your Hands and I will rest in that", something new comes up and I want to take everything back again. My job does not provide dental insurance, so I haven't been to the dentist since living in Marion two years ago. Recently, though, the right side of my mouth has been aching and I found a dentist in Wheaton that was offering a relatively cheap cleaning and exam special for new patients. So, yesterday, I went to get it checked out. The dentist informed me that my wisdom teeth are plowing through with nowhere to go, ergo my uncomfortable ache. He suggested I get them taken out asap. I told him that we are hoping to move to Michigan soon and get insurance there. He said that the sooner we get situated and I find a good oral surgeon, the better. I was okay with the news until later that evening when I got home and started really thinking about it. First of all, I have never had any kind of surgery before in my life and I am scared to death about this procedure. I know, I know, everyone and their mom has had their wisdom teeth out and it's not a big deal, but it is to me. Secondly, I started worrying (a favorite pastime of mine recently) that now, not only does Jonathan need to find a job soon, but a job with dental insurance that will hopefully kick in right away instead of him having to work for 3-6 months before they begin his insurance. And, of course, you can't be pregnant and get the necessary x-rays done for this procedure, so that put the icing on the cake for me. I seriously don't know how much more "faith testing" I can take. I mean, surely God knows that a human being can only take so much stress and testing before they crack, right? Thankfully I have a wonderful husband who is so strong, it amazes me. So, after I took all my worries and anxieties back from the Hand I had just given them to, I had to once again humble myself before the throne and acknowledge that there is nothing I can do about it but trust Him to provide. Gee, that sounds familiar...like maybe I've done that before...
