Tooth Fairy Tales: Changing Seasons
http://thetoothfairytales.blogspot.com/2012/08/changing-seasons.html
Monday, August 6, 2012. I want to say a big THANK YOU! Both for the financial and prayer support you all have given me over the past 2 years. I could not have committed to serving the people of West Africa through Mercy Ships without that support! Also, I'd like to invite you to an evening at my parent's home to have dessert with us! I would love to have this opportunity to both thank you in person and share with you what God has accomplished through our sacrifice. Please join us on August 16th.

Tooth Fairy Tales: January 2012
http://thetoothfairytales.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 3, 2012. A new town, a new (temporary) job! Being from a big family I’m used to making large meals, scrubbing a lot of dishes but this is multiplied a couple hundred times. It’s been a blessing to work with this dedicated team, who didn’t receive a holiday break, “People still have to eat! Thankfully, Ghana has provided us with fantastic produce! It’s been nice to add lettuce, cukes and tomatoes back into our diet. We’ve even been spoiled over the holiday to enjoy a few m...Remember it&#...

Tooth Fairy Tales: July 2010
http://thetoothfairytales.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 13, 2010. How hard we work but also how we laugh and encourage each other. Some snap their fingers when they're in pain (it's like they're scolding us for hurting them) and make strange moaning sounds, but they are so strong, it's a "no tears" policy among these Togolese women. 99% of our patients can't even say "thank you" any communication without a translator is done by hand signals, so this unexpected compliment floored me, so precious. WE ARE AMAZED by Ginger Millermon. To learn more a...

Tooth Fairy Tales: October 2011
http://thetoothfairytales.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 17, 2011. The pain was intense and although she didn’t know what would be coming next, Aminata knew she was one step closer to help. Her mouth was slightly OPEN! It was still painful and a very small space but it impressed the doctors. One of them announced, “Wow! Now that we can work with! We’ll finally be able to extract those teeth! Thursday, October 13, 2011. Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative! But in all the changes, seasons and personnel, I have to remind myself to focu...

Tooth Fairy Tales: "Except for God"
http://thetoothfairytales.blogspot.com/2012/02/except-for-god.html
Friday, February 24, 2012. This is a well-known Ghanian symbol meaning "Except for God" (GYE NYAME) reminding anyone who sees it of God's Sovereignty. As a dental team we have been reminded of just that: our dependence on God. While jumping into the task of setting up clinic and beginning treatment, we have been reminded daily that without Him, we can do nothing. Without His intervention and if not according to His will, we labor in vain. And as always; He has been faithful. View my complete profile.

Tooth Fairy Tales: I Think I Can... I Think I Can...
http://thetoothfairytales.blogspot.com/2012/03/i-think-i-can-i-think-i-can.html
Sunday, March 18, 2012. I Think I Can. I Think I Can. Flashback to 1990 something, one of my very early childhood memories. Just keep moving, keep trying. You’ll make it, just keep going.” At the time it didn’t seem all that difficult. But as I relate the little engine’s struggle to my own journey the same advice hits me, “Keep moving, keep trying. You’ll make it, just keep going.”. I will fear no evil: for You are with me;. Your rod and Your staff comfort me.”. And a quiet voice inside says, “Fear...
