Well yesterday our prayers were answered above and beyond our requests! Our wonderful Father chose to bless us more abundantly than we could have even imagined. I had told you that we this hearing aid was Tyler's only one since he had lost the other one. We were in the process of applying for grants for the lost hearing aid when this one was so nicely chewed by said dog! Well - we had thought that we were going to have to replace this one through applying for more grants or saving....God had BIGGER and BETTER plans for us!
Last week - Tyler's audiologist called and said that the hearing aid company was going to replace the lost hearing aid for free, we just needed to pay the $200 for the ear molds. So, the appointment to get that hearing aid and molds was yesterday. In the meantime, Joel had told the audiologist that about the demise of the chewed hearing aid but told her we would need some time to get the funding to replace it.
When I got to the appointment yesterday - God had a present in store for Tyler and me! Not one but BOTH hearing aids had been donated by the hearing aid company....We still had to pay for the molds BUT the hearing aids were there....BUT WAIT - THERE'S MORE! Last night the Bayfield Lions Club met - they were one of the organizations that we had applied for help from. They voted last night to help us by donating $250 to the hearing aids - which was a little more than the $216 that I had to pay for the molds and batteries yesterday! SO - now Tyler is up and running with two new hearing aids and two new molds!!!
I just love how are Heavenly Father knows just when to bless us beyond our wildest imagination! I must admit the past few weeks have been hard! I have struggled emotionally, spiritually, mentally and physically. I have been worn out, grumpy, tired and stressed. Just like our earthly parents know when we need a little "one on one time" or a special gift to lift our spirits - our Heavenly Father knows exactly when we need to know that He is still there walking alongside us, or carrying us and providing for us!
Today the enemy tried to pull me back down from that blessing that happened yesterday, I almost allowed him to do it. Instead, I am choosing to praise Him and thank Him. There are still other issues that I am concerned about but I know that my Redeemer Lives and that He is there and He will carry us through! In the meantime - today I am SO very thankful for God leading us to an audiologist that cared enough about my little boy's ability to hear that she took it upon herself to look for help in paying for the hearing aids. It is a wonderful thing to see Tyler being able to hear all that's happening around him without having to ask for it to be repeated!

Yeah, glad that worked out. Now get rid of the dog. Ha!
that is so great Ronnie!!
God is so amazing! I knew He would provide for you! It's so easy to see that He will do it for others, but when I'm in the situation, it's a little harder to be so optimistic. This story has increased my faith a little bit more! Thank you God for answered prayers!
