I am blind, but now I see

Gratefully, I am not totally blind, just legally blind.

I just can not see clearly more than a few inches in front of me.

Clearly means, read-able, through a cataract (cloudy vision) and floaters (black floating spots).

That is WITH my glasses or contacts.

My condition is known as Uveitis.

After testing me again, (I was tested 3 years ago in Hawaii for all these same things)

for everything they can think of, I have no known cause.

Which, after A LOT of research, I found out there are other people 

that have a hard time finding the cause.

So then the question is, how do you treat it?

Well, that is where I stand at this moment in time,

finding the proper treatment to stop the swelling permanently,

so that I can get cataract surgery, followed by lasik surgery.

We all know that we go through these trials in our life so that we can grow and become better.

So that we can draw closer to our Father in Heaven.

So what have I learned from this so far.

GRATITUDE.

I am so grateful for my eyes, that I can see at all.

What a wonderful blessing our bodies are.

What a wonderful blessing we have had by coming to earth and receiving these bodies,

that are capable of doing such AMAZING things.

FAITH. 

I know that my Father in Heaven can heal me, at any moment.

Even with this knowledge I have learned that my faith still needs to be tested and strengthened.

PRIESTHOOD POWER.

It is real.

My husband gave me an amazing blessing that has given me so much comfort and peace.

SERVICE.

I am overwhelmed with all of the service that has been performed for me.

I am so grateful for my wonderful family, friends and ward members who have been

so willing and anxious to serve me whole heartedly.

PRAYER.

Sadly it takes something like this for me to finally have the relationship with my

Father in Heaven that I should always have.  I find myself falling to my knees pleading with 

my Heavenly Father to help me find answers, to help me to know what to do.

Not only for my eye, but for my family, for my friends.

To know how I can help others, and be close enough to the spirit that I can 

know when someone else is in need of help.

I know that many people have prayed and fasted in my behalf

and I am so grateful for that.  THANK YOU.  It is so true that you can feel that love from others, and it

brings so much comfort. 

 I am confident that things will work out.  Answers will come.
