This past week in my struggle against teeth:
13 times my dentist has dentist has filled a tooth
11 shots that I have been given to numb my mouth
8 cavities have been filled
7 teeth have been worked on
4 dentist appointments
2 fillings have fallen out
There are times in your life when you look and realize that you just can't keep living the way that you have been. For me and this whole fiasco I have realized that I can't keep eating and drinking the stuff that I have been. My dentist told me that having an explosive amount of cavities is becoming incredibly common among college students because of one thing: soft drinks.
I think that one of the things about maturing and junk like that is that the realization that what we do really does matter. It has cost a lot of pain (and money) to fix my problem of drinking too much coke. And the same goes for in our spiritual lives. What we do, or lack to do, really affects how we live. I can tell a difference in myself when I have been diving into God's word and when I haven't read for understanding in a while. So I guess the question is, do we want to live with cavities in our teeth and soul or not?
