Jess and I had vacation last week in Missouri. Or I guess you could call it vacation for me, but Jess got the short end of the stick. She had to spend 5 days healing from surgery on 4 wisdom teeth. Let's just say that her teeth were not the easiest case, and they were all impacted. Obviously the surgery was pretty rough (see image :) Note- this was a close up shot so the image seen may appear slightly larger than in real life"
What a blessing to have such amazing family! My uncle Kevin did the surgery and didn't charge us anything! He's amazing and we ow him a ton. Not to mention, he's probably one of the best dental surgeons in the area!
Grandma Medlin made some delicious potatoe soup, which Jessica ate in a hurry since vanilla snack packs were getting old. Grandma Jones brought over sweet corn, which is one of Jessica's favorites (althought we did have to cut it off the cob)!
And of course, my mom and dad were amazing at home. My mom really has a servants heart! I think Jess was in good hands! So thank you so much family! We love you and miss you lots!
While we are on the subject of wisdom teeth, I thought I would talk a little about Solomon (the second wisest man to ever live) (Guess who the first was). I have been reading in 2nd Chronicles lately and I just wrapped up the story of the rule of King Solomon. Here's a question for you...If God told you to ask for anything and He would grant it, what would you ask for?
Solomon asked for wisdom and knowledge so that he might lead God's people. Usually kings want wealth, power, control, armies, kingdoms, and women, but Solomon had something much more humble in mind. I have been reading about king after king in the old testament, and there is a constant theme. Good kings listen to God and do what He says. Bad Kings do what they want. Solomon got it! His success as a king wasn't going to come from himself.
So the question for me is...How will I lead?
