Give Thanks in the Lord Always
Things have been totally craaaazyyy these days and I'll be perfectly honest its easy to get down and just feel plain rotten about life. Reese had her 4 year well visit the other week and she did not pass her hearing screen. We were refferred to an ENT where we learned that she had significant hearing loss and will need hearing aids for the rest of her life. Wow! Talk about a shock to your heart! I spent the day we got the news in tears nearly all day. I left work early to go pick up little miss and spend some extra time with her and she was just as happy as she could be. Kids are awesome like that?! It was cold and rainy and we decided to put our PJ's on at like 3:00 in the afternoon and snuggle up in the bed. We read and colored and talked. I was quickly reminded that I should be grateful for my beautiful, funny, smart, bossy, silly, strong willed little girl! I realize that it could be SO MUCH WORSE! What an amazing gift she is to me and will be to everyone she touches in life!
Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men. Psalm 107:8

She is a gift! I can't imagine how hard that must have been to learn, but I'm sure you will both handle it with the same strength and grace you do everything else. I admire you both!
I know just how you feel...the day we found out that Addie has a severe peanut allergy I was just crushed. I cried a lot, but also realized there could be much worse wrong with my child. This was something we could deal with, even if it is scary. I think the hardest part was the realization that this is for the rest of her life. With my baby have something permanently wrong with her health, I have to continually hand her over to God. She is His afterall and I am reminded He loves her even more than I do. Hang in there. Reese is in the hands of a loving Father and He will use this for her good.
Beck - I love your blog... I hadn't been on here in forever b/c it was locked at one point and I didn't have the password. I'm so sorry I haven't kept up. You and Reese are such a blessing, I wish we were closer. Love you.
