Answered Prayers

The Little Mr. is doing choir camp this week.

He's loving it.

But...

After the first hour, he had lost his voice.
The second day, he said singing hurt.

The teacher and I were worried that he might be hurt. There might be injury and damage to his vocal cords from his feeding tube that kept him alive at birth.

I had momma worries.

What if and what to do? He was loving it so, but I couldn't let him do something that would ultimately hurt him.

So today he was to meet with the instructor after practice. She wanted to work with him a little and see what was going on.

I came to pick him up 15 minutes later.

She was near tears when she spoke with me.

Praising this boy child and his talent.

It seems that he is gifted, but was just unaware of how to use it.

She raved and said between his voice and ability on the piano, we could be looking at something amazing.

My momma heart is bursting.

Not so much with pride over a child with a gift, as much as with relief that we may have finally found a path for this head strong, big hearted, passionate boy.

He had the most genuine joy on his face when he sang for me.

Praise God for that very moment. That he felt that joy in his heart, and a small momma blessing that I was able to see it.

It's right there in my world with the first time he hugged me and told me he loved me without prompting. He was around 7.

Our "special" kids sometimes bring us little miracles.
