A Taste of the New Creation - Woman Hears The Sound of Her Own Voice for the First Time

I imagine these types of moments are a foretaste of The New Heavens and the New Earth.  The broken are finally and eternally restored.  There will be tears of joy and Jesus will wipe them from our eyes.

The Washington Post blog explains:
Sloan Churman was born deaf. She had never heard the sound of her own voice until, at 29, she was given a hearing implant made by a company called Envoy Medical. Churman has posted the incredible video in which she hears herself speaking for the first time.

Awesome. Cool to see her giving the credit to God in her comments too:

"God provided the means to pay for the surgery ;)"

"My whole life I've been complimented on how well I speak. I don't really have an answer for you other than I have always had a passion for reading, grammar, and English. My hearing loss was/is considered severe to profound. I've worked very hard to be able to interact and blend in.....only thing I can say is 'God is good'."
