Dear friends,
This may be a bit simpler message but I know people wonder how I’m doing. It has been exactly a week since I had surgery. I’ve had no negative symptoms in my eye, continue to wear a patch until I see the doctor Monday. My main concern is that my energy level is quite low. Maybe it helps me stay quieter at home!!! My eye is still extremely blurry and will be for quite awhile. It will be weeks before I will know how good my vision will be. And so…waiting in trust. Meanwhile I’m learning I can listen to emails, and dictate them if I want, and I see now that I can listen to PDF’s also. Very helpful considering the distorted vision I have in my right eye. I know the distortion around me, but my brain accepts it as normal now!! And for reading on my computer of course I can make the print as large as I need to.
Main prayer request is that I need to teach again next week Tuesday through Thursday. I have a doctor’s appointment on Monday and hope that he will do away with the eye patch, but I will not be able to see people’s faces or expressions ,with or without it, as I speak which is a drawback. Mostly though I need a restoration of strength so that I can give myself to it. And…the Lord has the strength. So, it will be leaning all the harder on Him, which is not a bad thing, is it?
I have a lot of time to think about suffering—not mine, but other people’s. Because our world holds so much of it. Without our Redeemer God what would we do? Certainly He can make beauty out of ashes. I have some friends that lay very heavy on my heart right now.
Thank you for praying. Always.
