Wow

Chris (my pastor) said something that has really stuck with me this week, something I keep meaning to blog about, but my wrist hasn't had a great week so I haven't been online much.

He was speaking in his sermon about an elderly blind man, who told someone that it was worth it to have been blind his entire life, because the first face he will ever see is the face of his savior. Wow. What an incredible thought! I had never thought of it that way.

The first time I hear, REALLY hear, I will be hearing the voice of my Savior. What could be cooler than that? Or make all the struggles I had growing up 1/2 deaf and 1/2 hearing worthwhile.

Its an awe inspiring thought. One that has really helped me a lot with being ok with being deaf. I wonder sometimes If I've ever really accepted the fact that I AM deaf. And that God made me this way for a reason! Its hard to be different everyday. Its hard to want so much to fit in to every situation, and to know that I don't. But, I am who God made me to be. And someday I will hear my saviors voice, and that makes it all ok.
