Let me start by explaining that our church of choice is roughly 40 miles from home. We attend when we can, although it's not nearly often enough. It had been a couple of months, and Randy insisted that we needed to go to tonight's Saturday service. So I rounded up Reyana and Kelton from the dirt pile in the back yard, properly soaked our muddy children in the bath, and had them ready for church when Randy got home from work.
When it came time in the service, Pastor made her rounds, jotting down prayer requests as she went. We asked the congregation to pray for Audrena as we navigate our way through the next few months of doctor appointments and surgeries. She explained to the congregation that Audrena has profound hearing loss and will be getting cochlear implants. Someone piped up that Boys Town really is a wonderful place.
After the service, a family approached us to introduce themselves. The lady's nephew is 3 months old, profoundly deaf as well, and will be a candidate for cochlear implants when he is old enough. We had a wonderful conversation, and I wrote down our e-mail address and the blog address to share with her sister and brother-in-law. It's amazing how God just continues to put people in our path who are in the same situation.
And for the record, I still maintain that He is working through Facebook as well. We had yet another Facebook friend put us in contact with a family whose daughter received a cochlear implant in March. It's so great to hear from other families!
