I am sitting in the library working on a paper. I am getting very bored and sick of working on this paper, but I still have many pages to go. So, I thought I'd take a time out and tell you an amazing story about what happened to Aaron yesterday.
All of the first year faculty at DBU has to go through the formality of meeting with the trustees of the school. The first years have to be approved by the trustees before they can officially be offered a contract for a second year of teaching. This is usually just a formality and hardly ever results in someone not coming back. So Aaron went to this meeting yesterday morning. The trustees wanted to know things like "What brought you to DBU?" So after they had their conversation, Dr. Linum, the provost, asked Aaron to share with the trustees everything that had been happening with Maddy. So Aaron did that. As he was leaving, one of the trustees asked to talk with him and followed him out of the room. It turned out that this guy was on the board of a hospital in Dallas. He gave Aaron his card and told Aaron to call him when the baby is born because there are some things that his hospital can do for clubbed feet for free. I don't know what kind of procedures this "free" entails, but Aaron and I were just both totally blown away. Who would have thought that God would put someone in this routine meeting that would be someone who could help provide for Maddy's needs? I had been wondering about all of the procedures she would have to have and whether the insurance would consider her feet a pre-existing condition and we would have to come up with thousands of dollars for surgery or whatever it was that she needed. The fact that God stepped in and offered a way to provide for this was very amazing and very humbling. This is a great story of God's provision for us and it has been so encouraging to me over the past two days that I just wanted to share with all of you.
Tonight is DBU's last home basketball game so we are going to go to that. Tricia is coming to hang out with us. We will also sit in on a little bit of Aaron's chemistry class because Aaron has been wanting Tricia to come hear one of his chem. lectures.
