When Allen was born and quickly flown to the University of Nebraska hospital in Omaha, that didn\u2019t seem real either. But it was.<\/p>\n<p>When Hiram and I first saw Allen after his surgery, all I could do was cry. Our baby bristled with tubes and monitors. His tiny hands covered his ears as if he wanted to shut out the painful world he\u2019d entered. \u201cThis isn\u2019t the dream I had for my child,\u201d I told God. \u201cWhy are you doing this?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, as God has worked in our lives, He\u2019s revealed bits of His reasons. Yesterday, He revealed a little bit more. My husband and healthy twenty-six-year-old son were as excited about the news as I was. It\u2019s much different from the dream I thought I wanted. But it\u2019s a good one.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why I\u2019ll write this book. So devastated parents will place their hope in God\u2019s dream for their children. So they can trust His dream, though different from their own, to be good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday afternoon, I received an email from the editor at Discovery House Publishers.
