Homeschooling by His grace in bush Alaska
Dec. 1, 2007
Praise God - He has healed me!
It's been a while since my last entry, but it's been two months of dental work and trying to keep up with school!  To make a long story short....  I had a cracked molar extracted, then bone protruded through my gum, so I had surgery by an inexperienced dentist, followed by a huge hole in my gum with bone showing!  I PRAYED WITH MY CROWN BIBLE GROUP AND HE HEALED THAT HOLE OVERNIGHT!

There were little bone  scrapings in my mouth the night before I went to bed which were perplexing.  The next morning, the gum had grown over the hole and NO BONE WAS SHOWING!  I could put my tongue in the hole and feel bone the night before!  GOD IS SO GOOD  I just had to share this miraculous healing He has done for me!

As I mentioned, during this time, it was hard to do school.  I had stitches in my mouth and pain when I talked, so we skipped subjects requiring lots of talking (like math with Saxon counting...)  Had lots of dental appointments and distractions.  We persevered!

I did take off the Tuesday before Thanksgiving to prepare for our houseful of Alaska "orphans" who had nowhere to go for their feast.  Then I traveled to Anchorage for some post-Thanksgiving Christmas shopping with some ladies from church.  It too was awesome, but my poor husband felt ill-equipped to teach school in my absence, so the girls enjoyed a respite in my absence.  Of course, we are a week and one-half behind, but refreshed and ready to go!

It's blowing sideways and RAINING!  Can you believe this?  It is Dec. 1st in sub-Arctic Alaska and it looks like we need to build an ark!  I hauled the Christmas tree in the driving rain.  GLOBAL WARMING?  Next we'll have polar bears swimming in to shore to eat at the Subway in town!

Blessings in Him!  Paula

Hi Paula,
That was a great testamony about your tooth! Interesting about your rainy weather. We are having snow! It probably won't last long, but it sure is pretty today.
