Jaw Break.

It's late and im tired, but just thought i blog about this before bed. 
If you dont already know, i had been having a locked (right) jaw for about a month (or longer) already, and two visits to the doctor had not helped at all. On the first visit, the doctor just told me to 'relax my jaw muscles' and 'eat softer food'. i was like okay, yet laughing silently to myself. I couldnt really see how doing that would help much. It wasnt like i was chewing on MARS bars everyday. The second visit to the doctors was when i missed math ct cos i was sick. This time, she told me i had to go see a dentist, and 'they may have to do something, but hopefully not'. The word 'something' shook me a little. No operations and no yanking of my jaw please, i told myself. NONONO.
So anyway my stubborn jaw continued to bother me for the next two weeks. It hurt bad when i tried to open my jaw fully, and this was especially the case during meals. It was hard to feed myself. The spoon became too huge for my tiny (-ier) mouth. And, my smile was no longer symmetrical. Haha. The right cheek muscles were not working right either. :/ 
Then, something miraculous happened on Saturday's Easter service at the alter call. When the pastor prayed for my jaw, i could feel it ever so clearly, that there was movement in my right jaw, as if someone was shifting it physically! I wondered if it was really God. Having walked out of the sanctuary, i found that my jaw was unlocked (almost fully)! No doubt, the change was palpable.
My jaw's been hurting less the past few days though my right cheek muscles have yet to fully recover. Theyre still not working properly. Think ill still be getting an X-ray done just to check and make sure everything's alright with my jaw. But anyway, for the healing miracle performed on Easter, Im really thankful! Im sure now that the movement of my right jaw during the altar call prayer was indeed Him. Praise God! :D Im trusting Him that ill need no operations/other scary procedures or whatsoever and that everything with my jaw and cheek muscles will be fully restored quick!
