Another Slice of Life...

I am hungry...super hungry. STARVING. Have not eaten since lunch at noon. The time is now 6:15 in the evening.

"Mama did you cook today?" I ask.
"Not yet, get a snack" she shouts back through the walls.

Cheez It's...GREAT! I'm not sure how I am gonna do this but I have to try.

Push it to the back....waaaay to the back. I can't chew. Bite? Not quite. I can make it work.

Mash...using the roof of my mouth. Swallow...
Mash.Swallow...
Mash...
Mash.

...4 Cheez Its in....UGH! (frustration has built)

I can't!!! Someone else has to eat them. A whole year of this?! How will I ever survive?

No one warned me of the pain, anguish, and aggravation of learning to eat with braces.

Slice of life...

A slice of life is a snapshot of one's day in a group of words or images.

My slice of life...

As I forced myself out of bed to prepare for work, I felt the need to communicate with God. I decided to take the time to worship and pray for grace and strength through my day. The greatest reward was the presence of God I felt as I sat. Pandora played the song Overflow by Tasha Cobbs, the music played softly in the background as I read my daily devotional and entered into prayer. Within minutes I felt complete and prayers were answered. It was amazing to witness an immediate response from God before my day began. His grace is truly sufficient.
