- My mouth was just extremely dry

and I suffered with itfor more than a decade.

I would wake up in the morning

and my lips would literallybe stuck to my gums

and I would have to go and just rinse

and rinse and rinse with water.

I kept water on my nightstand.

I took a bottle of waterwith me everywhere I went.

I did speak with my physician,

who suggested that Ispeak with my dentist,

and my dentist gave me a fewoptions through the years

and I did try things, butnothing was really successful.

And I just thought that it was something

I was going to have to live with.

It was stressful when I was eating.

I was very concerned thatI was going to choke.

I would chew veryslowly, very small bites,

almost like a toddler, and would wash down

every bite with a drink of water.

I was in the carpoolline at my son's school

and I was scrolling throughFacebook on my phone

and whenever I see apost from The 700 Club

I always stop and pray along with them,

and on this day Terri was praying.

- You have an unbelievablydry mouth all the time.

It effects the way you're able to eat,

the taste of your food.

God's healing that for you right now.

You're saliva's just gonnabegin to produce again

and you're gonna be backto where you were before.

- I just started going, oh myLord, that's me, that's me!

And I prayed along with her

and by the next day Iwoke up completely normal.

I jumped up and went straight to my knees

and said thank you Lord, praise you Jesus.

I was actually saying to him,

Lord I never even thoughtto pray about this.

I just thought it was something,

a minor inconvenience that was major to me

that I was just going to have to

live with and suffer through

and it never even occurredto me to give this to you.

And thank you.

I just kept saying thank you,thank you, praise you, Lord.

I now understand that he cares about

every teeny tiny detail of our lives.

Not just the big things,not just the major things.

He loves us.

He wants us to be happy.

He wants us to be healthy.

He wants us to feel good all the time

and everything thatbothers us matters to him.
