I Can Hear You!!!!

Jet and Daddy

Jet can hear perfectly!!!

Going into today I was really anxious. I didn't know what I wanted to hear. If he had a hearing loss, that meant there was a "reason" for him being non-verbal. But having a hearing loss means, having the burden of hearing aids for the rest of your life. Honestly, I was torn. So I prayed for clarity - that either way the Doctor would know beyond a shadow of a doubt if he did or if he didn't have a hearing loss.

That prayer was answered. And now we can put that question behind us. He'll of course continue to get annual hearing tests - but right now - we move on.

Thank you for everybody that prayed for our sweet baby. He was so brave. He went back with the nurses with a smile and the staff at Moore Medical Center was Super.

Jeremiah 1:5
"Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you. Before you saw the light of day, I had holy plans for you: A prophet to the nations— that's what I had in mind for you." 

At church we have been talking about "Personal Ground Zeros." 

Through this time of soul searching I discovered that my Personal Ground Zero was last summer. 

It was in May of 2010 that I came to realize that life may always be a struggle for Jet. He just may have a life long disability. I have fought tooth and nail to get Jet everything that he needs. I have done everything within my power to help Jet catch up to his peers. And to top it all off, I knew that we as a family served a God that could Heal him overnight and I believed He would. But night after night, Jet stayed the same - sure progress little by little but nothing - worthy of the word "miracle". 

I was sad, broken hearted, depressed, angry and hurt that my God was choosing to leave my son in a state where everything was difficult. Evaluation after evaluation, the same results. 

I shared my hurts with my closest friends. For a good year, I almost stopped talking to God. But somewhere along the way I was reminded that Our God is a Good God. And by His Grace I came to say, "It is well with my soul." I believe that Jet was knitted in my womb to be who he is today - a little different than the others - but Perfect in every way. I still pray that I will one day hear his voice - but I choose to wait patiently for God to move. 

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 

I believe that God has great things in store for Jet and I am excited to be beside him every step of the way. I praise God that He gave me a child that is set apart from the rest. He amazes me everyday. I admire his content spirit and his happy personality - always a smile on his sweet little face. So thankful that Jet is Jet, unique in every single way.

Confident of His Goodness,
