I have written about speaking to a very devoted local teacher who works with deaf and HH kids, named Brynn. Byrnn has set me on a path filled with resources in order that I can research the education that our new son will need. After speaking with her, I was ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work. She really was THAT encouraging.
Saturday afternoon, after a long day of selling, I was very tired and a little cranky. It was at that time a young, bubbly woman came up to the table and asked if I was Shannon. After I confirmed her suspicion, she introduced herself as Brynn. She handed me a card and was eager to meet my family. My entire mood swiftly changed as I listened to the things she said to me. The sweet words she delivered were clearly from a heart dripping with compassion and love. The heart of Christ was in front of me, not just encouraging me, but reassuring all of the doubts that swirled about in my mind.
After she left, Rebekah and I just looked at each other smiling. I took a deep breath that left me with a refreshing new hope. Thank you, Brynn for bringing a release to me from the One who sent you.
In that card was a beautifully written heartfelt note and a very generous donation. Again, love and support from a woman I've never met before Saturday.
It wasn't just my heart that was touched on Saturday. Rebekah's was too. She was also encouraged and regained a little excitement in her day as we spoke of the boys we were about to bring home soon.
Joy always comes in the morning... Well, in this case, afternoon.
