This morning is simply not going right ….I woke up at 3 a.m. with a contact lens going nuts (I sleep in mine) and before it was over one eye was scratched and my glasses are in Oklahoma with my daughter…who forgot to return my makeup bag after the wedding get ready. This wouldn’t be a big deal except I am legally blind without correction. New contacts can’t simply be put in because one eye is scratched today. While I can type because my computer talks and reads it back to me, I have a few issues this morning. My son can drive himself with me present to school….but I’ll have to walk home, since I can’t drive home without my glasses. I will walk to the church instead because I am leading the Bible Study this morning with the girls. That isn’t a big deal because I had already prepared my lesson, and one of the other girls will gladly read aloud each part of our lesson as I need Scripture read. A staff meeting later will be interesting, but more challenging for I won’t be able to read the information we’re talking about.
I used to be able to funciton one eyed pretty well, but in these years I find I get excruciating headaches if I try to compensate by using only one eye, so I will not wear the other contact today either….
Later in staff meetings I will have a challenge before me. It is hard to function on the computer with art and graphics language if you cannot see it to verify it looks right. I’ll rely on my daughter to work by my side and check my work today.
You know the devil is playing because not even the printer wants to work this morning….and I’ve already stubbed my toe not seeing one of a plethora of things in my path….but I know,and I am sure you know too, that when the devil plays at this level, something wonderful is happening! This morning I am thankful that my visual frustrations are temporary….and that I am given this chance to remember the blessings of corrected vision.
Edit at 7:58…son 2 looked carefully at my contact I removed and said “Mom, it has a tear, maybe its what caused the pain and not a scratch, so I put in a lense and sure enough, no pain….Yay for Son’s who help!
God is good!
