  1. Thank you for your words of encouragement! I have not heard that song before the words fit so well with my situation. 2 years ago my retina tore in each eye and I have had five surgeries since and we are still trying several different procedures and medications to restore my vision. I have lost 50% of my vision I have no peripheral vision and I can see objects about 15 ft away I cannot always make out what they are. Without Christ in my life this would of been much more difficult. I had to have surgery on both eyes at the same time and I was not able to see for a month that was a very scary time for me and I relied a lot on my faith in God. I feel very blessed but I can see as well as I can.
    I’m sorry that this has been such a long journey for you we continue to pray for you and your family! Love in Christ, Barb Leenstra

    1. Barb, I had no idea that happened to you! I can’t even imagine! Our sight is one thing we all take for granted the minute we wake up in the morning. And then to wake up, wondering WHEN it will come back, what faith that takes, like you said. I LOVE what you said about Christ being in your life and how much more difficult it would be, if he wasn’t. To succumb yourself to surgery on both eyes, not knowing how you will wake up, yet knowing you won’t be able to see for a month, I can’t imagine the angst that would cause. I often think we all have our “it’ thing – the thing that causes us to decide whether to have faith or not, whether to trust the process God has laid out or not. I’m not always great at it, I’ll tell ya that! As hard as those longer battles are, such as your eye situation, you wish for things to be normal again, yet the lessons learned, you wouldn’t trade. I often say that I am thankful for the journey, but don’t necessarily want to go through some parts again :). But God is ALWAYS Faithful and in hard times, it is even more evident. And I love how God opens our eyes to those moments! Thank you for sharing and commenting, Barb! Please keep me posted as you journey through this difficult time and SO good to hear from you!
