We have spent our evenings this week at Vacation Bible School. This year, Mike and I decided to help in a different capacity. We have been serving as Crew Leaders to a group of 6 girls (soon to be 3rd thru 6th graders). It has been a great experience and I have thoroughly enjoyed having the opportunity to bond with a small group of girls.
Rylee, Ryan, and Morgan have all been in different groups and are each having a blast!! I must note that although VBS is geared toward teaching the children, there is something in there for the adults as well. I have had the awesome opportunity to witness God working in a mighty way and it hasn't even been through a child that is assigned to my group. In fact, I barely see this child from 6-8:45 pm and he is on the complete opposite side of the sanctuary from me. It hit me hard last night and I am so very thankful for God's little nudge. You see, we are still waiting to hear from "Dr. #2" regarding Ryan's candidacy for the aural atresia surgery. The waiting game is what it is and I have absolutely no control over it. God does know the answers we are seeking and is working even as we wait. I have never been so at peace (I would tell you I was at peace before and I truly was) with whatever the outcome is for the results as I am sitting here today after witnessing Ryan over the course of the last two nights. I am in awe!! Ryan has thoroughly enjoyed VBS and is especially taken with the music that is sung during the rally before and after VBS each night. Our child goes to church singing those songs in the van and leaves the church singing those songs in the van. He sings them throughout the day and as he goes to bed each night. In fact, he learned the words before the other two. He can hear even amidst the chaos! He is and will continue to be perfectly and wonderfully made ... With his BAHA, he can hear and he can express himself and he can sing. And, that is the sweetest sound EVER!! If God's plan is that he not have the atresia repair surgery to restore hearing without aids, then Ryan will continue singing his little heart out and and he will continue to fulfill God's will for his life. Whatever those results bring, I can say that I have never felt God's peace more abundantly than in this very moment!!
