By God's grace

Today, my ENT doctor said that the MRI was clear and also based on the hearing test I took today - my hearing has come back. Almost all of it! In fact, I won't need another hearing test for another year! He did say though that it looks like I lost some hearing - the part that hears loud, high pitched sounds. He said that I may also may have trouble hearing certain consonants in words when in a noisy/busy room. Well, all those are things I can live with! Who wants to hear high-pitched sounds anyway?

So I am feeling very blessed. God is an awesome God. I know that there was a possibility things would have gone the other way.

Today - someone told me that temporary hearing loss is quite common. Is it? I don't really care that it is or isn't. The fact is - it happened to me and I was terrified!!! What does he know anyway? I was quite irked by his comment. But I know that God had his hand upon me the entire time. It is by God's grace that I was healed.

What have I learned from this? That surrendering my worries/fears to God has never come easy to me. I've always wanted to be the one in the driver seat. But let me tell you - it's so much easier when we let Him do the driving.

Through Him all things are possible. Luke 18:27.

I will never take for granted what I can hear. And that is a tough one because with an 8 yr old and a 3 yr old - most days I get more than my share of whining! But I am grateful to be able to hear them.
