Wow God is good!
God's timing. Let's talk about God's timing.
On October 15, 2022, I made a TikTok about making my own teeth. I posted it hoping that somehow a dentist would see it and feel led to help me. That video received 441.7K views, yet not one dentist reached out. Not one mention. Nothing.
Over the years, I've sat in dental offices and hospitals only to be turned away. I've walked through disappointment after disappointment wondering if things would ever change.
But this story didn't begin in 2022.
It started in 2012 with a single broken tooth that I couldn't get removed because of my von Willebrand Disease. Finding treatment wasn't simple, and what seemed like one dental issue became a 14-year journey.
Fourteen years.
Fourteen years of pain. Fourteen years of struggling to smile. Fourteen years of anxiety, embarrassment, and fighting battles that many people never saw. Fourteen years of wondering why.
Then Monday happened.
Jonathan Broome was at a dental office on a service call. While he was there, I ran into some friends I hadn't seen in a long time. Both of them had endured years of dental pain and had recently received help. I told them how happy I was for them. One of them mentioned God opening doors.
I smiled and said, "Maybe my TikTok will get more views one day, and the doctor God has handpicked for me will see it."
A little while later, Jonathan called me.
"Hannah, this doctor wants to see you. He wants to help you."
That doctor was Dr. Tharp.
When they spoke, Dr. Tharp said he believes this is God.
And I believe it too.
Today, his secretary called to schedule my appointment. Before we got off the phone, I asked her if she would like to pray with me, and she said yes. So we prayed together right there over the phone.
At that point, any doubt I could have had was gone.
There is no doubt in my mind that God is in this story.
After all these years, I can finally see that God wasn't ignoring me. He wasn't late. He was working. While I was focused on the closed doors, He was preparing the right one.
Looking back now, I understand why this testimony is so much bigger than teeth. God used this journey to teach me perseverance, faith, humility, and trust. He walked with me through the depression, the insecurity, the judgment, and the waiting.
What felt like a delay was actually preparation.
For 14 years, I've searched for answers, help, and open doors. Looking back now, I can see that God wasn't just preparing a dentist... He was preparing a testimony.
The same God who was with me in the waiting is the God who is walking with me into this next chapter.
Today, I don't just see God's provision... I see His purpose.
Because when God writes the story, every chapter matters, even the painful ones.
And after 14 years, I can say with confidence: God's timing is perfect.
"For the vision is yet for an appointed time... though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come."
