A Special Journey
Written by maialancholy | | 4 CommentsAugust 7th, 2008
Recently, we have confirmed that my son indeed needs to be on hearing aids. It crushed my heart but I need to move forward. Enough self pity, time is ticking and my son needs help. As much as I try to ease up and have peace inside, I know that it will not be easy. I will have moments of weakness when I will just break down and cry. So, I gathered up some courage to take this head on. I know my God is a big God, and bigger than all the problems combined. I am one of His favorites because I was given a very special task of caring for His angel. I’m going on this lifelong journey and have made a decision to be happy no matter what.
It helps to have my husband there. Our families are also very supportive. But God has created another venue for me to find support and inspiration. I have met parents like us who are in the same boat. I have met their children, who like my son, have this special task from God. They serve as my inspiration.
God also allowed me to be part of a great community where I draw strength from their life stories. It makes me feel so small because what I’m going through is nothing compared to theirs.
Aside from this, God created channels for me - technology, information, media. Places to share my joys and places where I can find Him. I believe God has a great plan for me, plan to prosper me and not to harm me. I claim that promise.
In all your trials, there is a hidden purpose, a hidden blessing. Even if you can’t see it yet, trust that it’s there, and thank Him in advance.
Let this be my testimony - this special journey. I can do this through Him, who is the source of my strength.
Lord, give me the inner strength to persevere, to hold on, to never let go! Give me the courage to always love no matter what happens

Hi Maia -
I commented here months ago.. and you also stopped by my website then. I’ve added a lot to it.. .if you are looking for resources and info regarding hearing loss - please stop by.
I also went through a period where I really grieved for my son’s hearing loss… but, guess what? It’s okay. he’s great. It’s just one small part of our lives… and while it’s a part we need to deal with and face head on - and sure, I wish he didn’t have to deal with it - Still, I can think of much worse battles to be fighting.
We are fortunate that there ARE options, and such great advances out there with technology in this field. You have the added bonus of finding out early before things snowball. You can do this.
So, how IS it going with the hearing aids, anyway?
Please keep us posted and take care,
Deb
hi maia,
i know the feeling of being alone because of that “special task” from GOD that He entrusted specially just for you. We are in the same boat, we were both given that special task. But no matter how turbulent the water and weary our arms can get, remember to paddle all through it. We are the captains of our special journey..but GOD is and will always be our compass that will guide us through the storm…someday soon the storm will pass and a bright sunny weather is out there waiting for us. till then..
GOD bless you and your family always.
