What started out to be, what I thought was, pink eye, turned into a corneal abrasion, and then into a very deep cut in my cornea and a small infection.
What an eventful few days it has been. What was a horrible situation turned into a wonderful experience I will never forget.
Although I am not out of the woods yet, I am absolutely sure of a perfect healing. The scare of losing my sight in one of my eyes left me no other choice but to completely turn to the Lord. As I came home for the eye doctor on Monday morning, I was absolutely terrified. The only thing to hold on to was the promise from the night before in a blessing "Your eye will heal. It may take some time, but it will heal."
Though I knew, somewhere within myself, these words were true, I couldn't keep the doubt out of the way. I didn't know what was going to happen. My only choice for comfort was to get on my knees, and pray my heart out.
Before I did that, I was listening to some EFY music, and getting the spirit to reside in me amongst the fear. A song came on that struck me harder than the rest. In Humility Our Savior. I felt the spirit overwhelm me.
I spent a lot of time on my knees after that. That night, I had a complete change of heart. My eye was going to heal, and I knew it. With every fiber in me.
We proceeded to hold a fast within my family, and close families that night, and into the next afternoon. As I spent more time on my knees in prayer, I could feel the love of my Savior, and the love and faith of everyone fasting for me. I don't think I've ever felt more love.
This afternoon, as I sat in the doctors office, the last of my doubt fled. The doctor couldn't have ever expected that kind of improvement. As he told us that, I almost teared up, but soon gained my composure again so I didn't look silly. He told us he wanted to see me once again tomorrow, and that if it kept improving like this, I would recover very quickly. He still thinks that there will be scar tissue, which will impair my vision. But he doesn't know how much.
I believe there will be no scar tissue. I handed this completely over to the Lord, and he has the power to heal the sick, give sight to the blind, and even bring life to the dead. If I put my trust in anyone, it should be him.
I cannot thank enough those that fasted and prayed for my well being. I have an incredible testimony of fast and prayer because of all this. But most of all, I have a new testimony for trust in the Lord, and the work he would have us all do. As long as we stay faithful, and trusting, he will do anything for us. If we ask, it will be given to us. I have a brand new testimony of this.
Again, thank you all so much for your love. I will always be here for you, as you have for me.
I love you all.
The church is true, and if you don't know that yet, find out! It is a wonderful journey.
